Buy the fixture yourself, or let the plumber supply it?

Many plumbers will install a fixture you bring, though some won't warranty the part. Others supply fixtures at a markup but handle returns and fit. If you bring your own, confirm the fixture is compatible with your existing connections before the plumber arrives, because mismatches cause extra trips.

Minor work and licensing in North Carolina

State law exempts people who only make minor repairs or minor replacements that don't change the energy source or the routing of the piping, so swapping a faucet is within that category. Work that adds or moves plumbing lines is a licensed contractor's job. If you're unsure which side of the line your project falls on, ask the contractor, and verify any license on the state board's public search.

Bundled jobs save on service fees

A service call fee covers getting a plumber to your door. If you have a few small jobs, such as a faucet, a toilet and a leaking shutoff valve, grouping them into one visit usually costs less than separate visits.
