Sinks & Fixtures

The old chrome kitchen faucet next to the new brushed-nickel everything-else. The stainless single-basin sink that the homeowner wants swapped for a deeper double-basin in the same opening. The garbage disposal that has been making a grinding noise for six months. The under-cabinet darkness that the kitchen update left as an afterthought — plug-in LED bars on the cheap end or hardwired channel lights with dimmer control on the proper end. Sinks and fixtures is the trade for the four most-common kitchen fixture swaps — sink and faucet, garbage disposal, plug-in under-cabinet lighting, hardwired under-cabinet lighting. Handis runs the install on existing rough-in (handyman scope) and coordinates the licensed Washington L&I plumber for any in-wall supply or drain work, the licensed Washington L&I electrician for any hardwired electrical or new circuit. Honest scope split on the booking call, sub portion named line by line on the quote. From $250 for a basic faucet or disposal swap up to $1,500 for a full hardwired under-cabinet lighting run with dimmer control on a kitchen with a 10-foot upper-cabinet run.

Why Seattle Homeowners Book Handis for Kitchen Sinks & Fixtures

Most kitchen fixture swaps that go wrong go wrong because the original installer did not stop to check the rough-in or the existing electrical before showing up. The new sink does not fit the existing under-mount cutout. The new faucet is a single-hole on a three-hole sink with no deck plate ordered. The angle stops are seized solid and the install stalls at the water-shut-off step. The new garbage disposal is rated for hardwired electrical and the existing receptacle is cord-and-plug. The DIY under-cabinet light install ends with a cord running visibly down the side of the upper cabinet because no one planned the cord route. Handis runs the rough-in confirmation from a phone photo on the booking call, the licensed-sub scope call before the truck rolls, and the cord-route plan on every plug-in lighting install — three small disciplines that turn each scope into a 60-to-90-minute clean install instead of a half-day improvisation.

Estimate

Tell us the kitchen (main, butler's pantry, prep), the fixture in scope (sink, faucet, garbage disposal, plug-in under-cabinet lighting, hardwired under-cabinet lighting), any specified product (brand, model, finish), and the existing rough-in. Phone photos of the sink area, the under-cabinet plumbing, the existing disposal, and the kitchen outlets help. We send a written quote with any licensed-plumber or licensed-electrician sub portion named line by line.

Reviews

What Our Customers Say

Recent kitchen sink, faucet, disposal, and lighting reviews from verified Seattle-area customers.

New brushed-nickel single-handle Moen pull-down faucet on the existing stainless double-basin sink. Sent Handis a photo of the existing chrome faucet and the angle stops under the cabinet. They confirmed the four-hole rough-in matched with a deck plate, ordered the faucet, installed it in 90 minutes including a new P-trap.

Lauren and Marcus T., Faucet-Only Swap

Sink and faucet swap together. Old stainless single-basin replaced with a deeper double-basin from Kraus, new pull-down faucet, new braided supply lines, new garbage disposal coupling. The angle stops were almost seized but the tech got them turning without snapping. About three and a half hours.

Patrick and Ellen H., Sink & Faucet Combined Swap

Insinkerator Badger 5XP swapped for the old Badger 1 that had been making a grinding noise for months. Tech disconnected the old unit, lifted it off the mounting ring, set the new one with a new dishwasher tee. Maybe 45 minutes. The kitchen quiet again for the first time in half a year.

Daniel R., Garbage Disposal Swap

Plug-in LED light bars under the upper cabinets in our kitchen update. About 8 linear feet across three sections of cabinet. The tech ran the cord channels along the back undersides of the cabinets so no cord shows from the counter side. Plugged into an existing outlet behind the cabinet at the end of the run.

Erica T., Plug-In Under-Cabinet Lighting

Hardwired under-cabinet channel lights with a dimmer at the wall switch. About 10 linear feet of run, three fixtures wired in series. Handis coordinated the licensed electrician for the new circuit and the dimmer. The cabinet-side mounting was Handis. One project lead, one quote with the electrician portion named separately. The kitchen workspace finally lit properly.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Handis kitchen sinks, faucets, garbage disposals, and under-cabinet lighting.

How much does a kitchen sink, faucet, or fixture install cost?
A faucet-only swap on a clean rough-in starts at $250. A like-for-like garbage disposal swap on existing plug-in electrical starts at $250. A single short plug-in LED light bar install starts at $250. A small hardwired under-cabinet lighting run starts at $600. A multi-fixture plug-in lighting install across a full cabinet run runs $700. A full 10-foot hardwired lighting run with multiple fixtures and dimmer control runs $1,500. Full sink-and-faucet swaps on difficult rough-ins, 1 HP disposal upgrades, and large lighting installs price higher per page. Licensed-plumber and licensed-electrician sub portions pass through transparently on a separate line.
Does Handis do the plumbing and electrical, or do you sub it out?
Handis runs every install where the existing rough-in is intact — sink and faucet swap on existing supply and drain, garbage disposal swap on existing electrical, plug-in under-cabinet lighting on an existing outlet, cabinet-side mounting on hardwired lighting. The regulated work — in-wall plumbing supply or drain, seized angle stop on a soldered connection, new fixture rough-in, new electrical circuit, hardwired junction box, dimmer at a new switch location — routes to a licensed Washington L&I plumber or electrician. We name the sub line by line on the quote, schedule their site visit, and run the project as a whole.
Do I need a permit for a sink, faucet, disposal, or lighting swap?
Like-for-like fixture swaps on existing rough-in do not require a permit. Any new in-wall plumbing supply or drain line, any new electrical circuit, any new junction box, or any new switch or dimmer location requires a permit. The licensed sub (plumber or electrician) pulls the permit for their portion of the work as the responsible licensed party. Handis handles the coordination but does not pull plumbing or electrical permits ourselves.
How long do the installs take?
A faucet-only swap is 60 to 90 minutes. A sink-and-faucet combined swap is 2 to 3.5 hours. A garbage disposal swap is 45 to 75 minutes. A plug-in under-cabinet lighting install is 2 to 4 hours depending on the number of fixtures and the cord-route complexity. A hardwired under-cabinet lighting install is two visits — visit one for the licensed electrician (4 to 8 hours for the circuit, junction boxes, dimmer, and concealed wiring), visit two for Handis (2 to 3 hours for fixture mounting, trim, and final test).
Can I keep using the kitchen during the work?
Most installs take the sink area offline only for the duration of the install (a few hours). Lighting installs do not interrupt sink or stove use. Hardwired lighting installs may shut off a kitchen circuit for the electrician's visit (typically 4 to 8 hours of one working day). We will tell you on the call which hours the kitchen is partially offline and which days the work spans.
What if I want to upgrade from plug-in to hardwired lighting?
That is the hardwired under-cabinet lighting scope — a separate quote with the licensed Washington L&I electrician for the new circuit, the junction boxes, the dimmer, and the concealed wiring inside the wall from the switch up to the cabinet. Most plug-in installs already on an existing outlet can be removed and replaced with hardwired channel lights in the same upper-cabinet positions, with cleaner wiring and dimmer control. We will tell you on the booking call what the electrician's portion looks like and what the cabinet-side mounting timeline is.
Can you match a specific sink, faucet, disposal, or light fixture line?
Yes. Bring the model number and finish code for the sink, faucet, disposal, or light fixture you have specified — or send us links to the product pages — and we will confirm fit against your existing rough-in, order on the schedule, and stage on site. We can also recommend brand lines (Kohler, Moen, Delta, Brizo, Kraus, Insinkerator, Waste King, Kichler, Lutron) if you have not specified yet.
What about hardwired lighting with smart-home integration (Lutron Caseta, dimmer scenes)?
Yes — Handis coordinates with the licensed Washington L&I electrician on smart-dimmer installs (Lutron Caseta, Leviton Decora Smart, GE Cync). The electrician handles the dimmer install and the circuit; Handis handles the cabinet-side fixture mounting and confirms the scene setup with you on the final visit. Smart-dimmer installs are a small surcharge over standard dimmer installs because of the device cost and the configuration time.
What if there is hidden water damage when you pull the sink?
We stop and tell you before we proceed beyond the original scope. Soft particle-board cabinet bottom under the sink, water-stained drywall behind the cabinet, mildew in the toe kick, or a previously hidden leak at the supply lines crosses into carpentry and potentially licensed-plumber scope. You see the photos, you see the revised number, you sign off, then we proceed. The licensed-plumber portion changes the same way — if the plumber finds a corroded copper supply nipple inside the wall, you see their revised number before we close the wall back up.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. One-year project warranty covers our scope — sink and faucet install, garbage disposal install, plug-in under-cabinet lighting install, cabinet-side mounting on hardwired lighting. If a connection we made drips, a fixture we mounted comes loose, a cord channel separates from the cabinet, or a light fixture we installed fails within a year because of our install, we come back and fix it at no extra charge. The licensed-plumber and licensed-electrician sub portions carry their own Washington L&I-trade warranties, also named on the quote.
