Standard faucets run $50-$150. Pull-down sprayers with a flexible hose cost $100-$300 and are the most popular. Touchless models run $200-$600. Labor adds $125-$260. Make sure the hole pattern (1-4 holes) matches your sink.

- Installation labor: $125–$260
What affects labor cost
Direct replacement on the same holes is simplest. Extra holes in a granite or quartz countertop need a pro with diamond bits ($100-$300). Old corroded shutoff valves may need replacement while it's apart.
DIY vs pro
Many homeowners swap a faucet themselves in an hour. The risk is leaks and stripped connections. If you're not comfortable under the sink or your counters need drilling, a pro is worth the $150.
