You can expect to pay between $175 and $750 for a new kitchen faucet, including installation from a local plumber. Basic kitchen faucets with mid-range quality, cost between $50 to $100. Kitchen faucets with a pull-out spray handle and other features, generally cost between $100 to $250. High-end kitchen faucets can cost $500 or more.
Installation cost of a kitchen faucet varies depending on the type of faucet you choose, your sink configuration, the cost of living where you live, and whether not you have a plumber supply and install the faucet, or buy the new faucet yourself. It is generally recommended to hire a plumber for installation since they have the knowledge and experience to install it correctly and avoid potential plumbing or water leak problems.

When replacing your old kitchen faucet, you’ll have a lot more choices than you did a few years ago. Many of the new features also come at a price, which will affect the cost of your new kitchen faucet. The first thing to consider is whether or not you want a single handle, or standard, 2 handle faucet. You may be limited based on the type of kitchen sink, so do your homework ahead of shopping.
For the new kitchen faucet itself, an estimated cost in the ranges below will give you a good idea of what to expect.
In addition to the faucet, you’ll likely need a few supplies to complete the kitchen faucet installation. The cost of these items can vary slightly based on quality of the products purchased, and/or needed. I change the supply lines to my faucets every time the faucet is replaced.
Unless you alter the actual plumbing coming in under your sink, no permits or inspections are required to replace a kitchen faucet.
You’ll want a Handyman or Plumber to install your new kitchen faucet for you. This will assure that you’re no dealing with a flooded kitchen or leak behind your kitchen sink that can cause future damage. While some will charge a flat-fee to handle the installation, most will charge by the hour if you provide your own kitchen faucet. If paying by the hour, you will be charged cumulatively for both.

Replacing a kitchen faucet takes a skilled installer roughly 1.5 – 3 hours, depending on the type of sink, condition and age of plumbing in your home. If you have a garbage disposal under there, it will probably take longer also.
Note: If you have granite or another stone type countertop in your kitchen, you must assure you purchase the correct type of faucet, to match the holes in the existing counter surface.
Replacing your own faucet is actually not too hard of a project for a handy homeowner. With the right tools in hand, paying attention to details to be sure you connect everything correctly, and a lot of patience… you can install your own faucet in the same time as a Pro would do it.
To get an idea of the job, check out this walkthrough (with pictures) at DIYNetwork.
I have replaced several faucets and aside from the very tight workspace under the sink, it’s not a hard project. I consider myself a 8/10 on the Handyman scale, and I would replace my own kitchen faucet again if needed.
Time saving tip – If you call out a Plumber or anyone else to replace your faucet, clean out under your sink, and I mean everything under the sink, before they arrive. If they’re charging by the hour, even if they have to stand and watch you clean it out for 15 minutes, the clock is still ticking.
