Faucet installation in Ajax most often means a stainless double-bowl sink with four holes in the deck, the standard fit in the 1990s and 2000s subdivisions around Westney and Harwood. The old single-lever tap and its side spray came as a pair, and the modern pull-down replacing them only needs one hole.
So the spare holes have to be dealt with properly. I replace faucets, shower heads, toilets, drains, supply lines and shut-off valves, and I quote before I start.
Almost every Ajax kitchen built in the 1990s and 2000s has the same four-hole stainless sink: tap, two spare, and a side spray that has probably stopped working. A pull-down faucet fills one hole, which leaves two or three staring at you. I fit a soap dispenser, an air gap or a matching cover plate so the deck looks intended rather than patched. Pickering Village is the exception, with older houses, smaller sinks and shut-offs that need replacing before the tap can come off.

A picture of the sink, the cabinet underneath and the existing shut-off valves tells me most of what I need. From that I can usually price the work before I arrive and bring the right parts and connectors with me.
Water is shut at the stops, the lines are drained into a tray, and the old fixture comes out. Seized nuts get cut off rather than forced, and the sink deck is scraped back to clean, dry material.
The new fixture sits on its own gasket, the mounting hardware is tightened evenly so the base does not sit skewed, fresh supply lines are fitted, and the drain assembly is sealed with the right material for your sink.
Hot and cold run at full flow, the basin is filled and drained to load the trap, then every joint is dried and rechecked. The cabinet floor goes back dry so a future drip is easy to spot early.
Swapping a fixture on healthy shut-off valves in an open cabinet is quick work. Cost climbs when the stops are seized and have to be replaced, when corroded mounting nuts have to be cut off, when the cabinet is deep and cramped, or when a stone counter and an undermount sink make access awkward. Several fixtures done in the same visit cost less each than booking them separately. Fixtures can come from you or from me with receipts, and the price is settled before any tools come out.
Nothing starts before the price is agreed. Send a photo or two with your request and I can usually quote without a site visit.
They get covered or used, never left open. Most pull-down faucets come with a deck plate that hides one or two, and beyond that a soap dispenser is the tidiest fix and costs little. I will ask how many holes your sink has before I quote, so the parts arrive with me and the job finishes in one visit.
