But everyone repairs their faucet or installs a new one at some point. Always hire an expert faucet repairman - Marietta GA handyman.
Faucet Styles

Faucets come in different sizes, shapes, and styles. Every homeowner can find a faucet style that allows them to express their individuality. You can pick a traditional, transitional, or industrial style. You can also go with a modern or farmhouse style.
Modern and Contemporary Styles
These faucets have simple, sharp lines. They feature clean, rounded forms. A modern and contemporary style suitably fits a modern-style bathroom. Modern and contemporary styles allow you to step into a world where efficiency and elegance work together perfectly.
Traditional Style Faucets
These faucets introduce a sense of heritage to your kitchen and bathrooms. These beautiful pieces let you say to others that you appreciate and respect the classic craftsmanship of the past. They have features that balance ease of use with elegantly fine details. You'll end up with a gracious and comfortable look that's noticeably authentic.
Industrial Styles
Industrial styles feature industrial-inspired design details. Their
design features might include exposed springs, cross handles,
knurled detailing, or industrial-style lever. An industrial-style
faucet may have a vintage or rustic finish.
Transitional styles
Transitional-style faucets stand somewhere between contemporary and traditional styles. They offer more detailing than modern styles. "Sleek" is how you'd describe them best.


MODERN FARMHOUSE STYLES
Modern farmhouse is currently a super popular design style.
A wide variety of faucets can work with this eclectic style,
from matte black to brass to a classic gooseneck - all of
these can compliment your farmhouse sink perfectly!
Whether it's a new home or you've decided to renovate,
you want your faucet's style to match with the overall style.
A kitchen can transform your home. And the right faucet
style accessorizes your spaces the same way a carefully
selected piece of jewelry accessorizes your stylish clothes.
Regardless of the style you select, your pick is going to be
a one-handle, two-handle, gooseneck, or touchless faucet.
Whether your faucet is a single-handle, two-handle,
or touchless, it's a gooseneck faucet most of the time.
One-handle Faucets
Single-handle faucets are easier to use and install than two-handle faucets. Also,
they take up less space than their two-handle counterparts. However, you may not
perform temperature adjustments as precisely as
you might with a two-handle faucet.
Touchless Faucets
These faucets use an activator with a sensor. The best ones have the activator on their front side. Convenience is the main benefit these faucets offer. I recently installed the Delta Trinsic Touch Faucet in my own home and we absolutely love it. It's great for those moments your hands are messy, you can just gently touch it with your arm to turn on or off.

Two-handle Faucets
The two handle-faucet is a traditional setup with two separate handles, one for hot
and the other for cold water. With these faucets, you perform more precise
temperature adjustments than with a one-handle faucet. But a two-handle faucet is
somewhat harder to install than a single-handle faucet. You probably should hire a
faucet repair Marietta GA expert to fix or install your two-handle faucet.
A new faucet is an opportunity to introduce a new design element to your kitchen or bathroom. There are no "strict" rules when it comes to choosing the right faucet finish. Your intuition should lead you to what would work best for you.
The different types of faucet finishes available allow you much flexibility and choice. You can choose nickel, chrome, bronze or stainless steel finishes. If you'd like a warmer tone, pick brass, copper, bronze, or gold.
Metallic finishes look stunning, but nonmetallic finishes are also great. For metallic finishes, the options range from polished to brushed and satin finishes. Brushed nickel, stainless steel, and bronze are arguably the most popular finishes.


Stainless Steel Finishes
Durable and easy to maintain, a stainless steel finish could
easily replace a chrome finish. One reason to choose stainless
steel is that it shows spots less easily than chrome.
A stainless steel finish costs as much as a nickel finish.
Chrome finishes
Chrome finishes are affordable, easy to maintain, and durable.
Polished chrome fits modern-style kitchens perfectly well.
For other kitchen styles, you may consider brushed-chrome
finishes. If you have stainless steel appliances and sinks, you
probably should choose a kitchen faucet with a
stainless steel finish.
Nickel finishes
A nickel finish is as durable as any chrome finish and can readily be found in most hardware stores. Nickel finishes endure water spots and scratches much better than chrome. However, you'll have to spend more for a neat, nickel finish. For a transitional-style kitchen, a nickel faucet finish is a natural choice.
Bronze Finishes
For a rustic, traditional, or Old World, go with a bronze faucet finish. A bronze finish has you paying more than you would for either a nickel or brass finish, though. Homeowners are beginning to think oil-rubbed bronze finishes would look great in their kitchens.
An oil-rubbed bronze finish is an excellent choice for when you want a kitchen with an antique feel. It's durable, affordable, and ageless. A brushed-bronze finish looks a bit darker than an oil-rubbed bronze finish.

Why Faucets Leak
A simple faucet repair that would cost you $150 now can end up
setting you back $800 down the road.

But what causes faucet leaks?
A Loose or Worn-out O Ring
The O ring is a part of the stem screw that holds your faucet's handle
in place. The O-ring leak is specific to cartridge faucets. A loose or
worn-out O ring lets water pass. Replacing it solves the problem.
I can replace your O-ring within a short time.
When there's Corrosion in Your Faucet's valve seat
If your faucet has a corroded valve seat, it will leak. Sediments in the water lead to the corrosion observed. Corrosion can cause leakage around the spout. I can help you regularly clean the valve seat.
Friction in Your Faucet
A Worn-out washer can also cause leakage in your faucets. Every time you use your faucet, friction occurs between the washer and the valve seat. A worn-out washer leads to constant dripping around your faucet's spout area. The problem affects compression faucets. Solution? Replace the washer.
Engaging the Wrong Faucet Repair Marietta GA Plumber
Sometimes, you hire the wrong faucet repair Marietta GA handyman. They might incorrectly install the washer. Or maybe the washer isn't the right size. This will obviously require repair quite soon after installation and may cause you damage.

Studies find that a faucet that leaks a drop every second wastes roughly 3,000 gallons of water in a year! Also, a leaking sink or faucet can damage your kitchen countertops or cabinets. The damage tends to be greater in small kitchens. Wood or laminate countertops "suffer" more than other types of countertops.
Relatively older homes tend to see leaking sinks and rotten faucets more frequently than new homes. Let a qualified faucet repair plumber repair or install your kitchen sink or faucet.
