Can you replace my faucet completely?

Yes — if you have existing shut-off valves under the sink that work and the drain isn't being relocated, a faucet swap is a standard minor repair. A local pro installs your new faucet and connects it to existing supply lines.

My toilet runs constantly — is that a simple fix?

Usually yes. A running toilet is most often a worn flapper or a misadjusted fill valve — both are inexpensive parts and a quick repair. Local pros typically carry common parts on the truck.

What if I have an older home with corroded shut-off valves?

If the shut-off valves under a sink won't close, a local pro will let you know before starting. Replacing valves that are soldered onto copper pipe is a job for a licensed plumber since the main supply must be shut off at the meter.
