Replacing a tired, leaky, or outdated kitchen faucet is one of the fastest ways to refresh a residential kitchen. Yet the first question most Los Angeles homeowners ask is simple: how much to replace a kitchen faucet? CountBricks specializes in real-time residential construction estimates, so we crunched the latest labor rates, material costs, and local code requirements to bring you a clear answer—plus a smarter way to get the work done.
Because labor rates and material pricing shift daily, CountBricks AI pulls up-to-the-minute data every time you request an estimate. As of this week, most LA homeowners can expect:
• Basic swap (homeowner supplies faucet): $275 – $425 total • Mid-range upgrade with new fixture and minor fittings: $425 – $650 total • Premium designer faucet with waterline adjustments: $650 – $925+ total
Those figures include standard demolition of the old faucet, installation, supply lines, plumber’s putty, and functional testing. Your exact price will vary, but these ranges let you set a realistic budget before contacting CountBricks.com/consultation.
1. Faucet Style and Features
Pull-down sprayers, touchless sensors, and filtration modules add convenience—and dollars—to the total. CountBricks catalogs hundreds of SKUs, so our AI engine instantly calculates the price impact of each feature.
2. Countertop Access
If your sink is undermount beneath stone countertops, expect extra minutes of careful removal and re-sealing. The AI estimator adds the appropriate labor units so you’re never surprised.
3. Valve Condition
Old shut-off valves that no longer turn mean extra parts and labor. CountBricks flags this during a blueprint takeoff or on-site scan and updates the quote in real time.
4. City Permit Requirements
While most faucet swaps are permit-free, any change to supply lines inside the wall may trigger inspection. Our Los Angeles code library auto-loads the correct permit fee if needed.
CountBricks quotes arrive as itemized PDFs you can share with clients or keep for your own records. A typical faucet replacement reads like this:
1. Mobilization and Setup – 0.5 hr 2. Remove Existing Faucet – 0.75 hr 3. Inspect/Replace Shut-Off Valves – 0.5 hr (if required) 4. Install New Faucet & Supply Lines – 1.0 hr 5. Materials Markup – at cost, no hidden fees 6. Cleanup & Functional Test – 0.25 hr 7. Subtotal + Sales Tax 8. Grand Total with Recommended Contingency
Because every labor unit and material SKU is time-stamped, you know precisely why the total lands where it does. No more guesswork.

When the Morales family in Silver Lake noticed their pull-out faucet dripping, they opened the CountBricks app on a Tuesday morning. A short voice note—“Replace Moen Arbor faucet, undermount sink, granite top”—triggered our AI workflow.
• 8:02 AM: CountBricks parsed the request, matched the faucet SKU, and generated a $487 all-in estimate. • 8:07 AM: Homeowner tapped “Approve,” automatically dispatching a licensed plumber from the CountBricks Pro Network. • 11:15 AM: Installer arrived, scanned the shut-off valves with the in-app camera, and confirmed no extra parts were needed. • 12:45 PM: New faucet operational, work order closed. Homeowner signed the digital completion form. • 12:46 PM: Final invoice auto-issued, integrating actual time on site—1.6 hours—into the cost log.
• Centralized material catalog eliminates supply runs. • Built-in scheduling engine matches pros by availability and certification. • On-site photo verification updates tasks in real time, preventing scope creep.
