Kitchen Sinks Need Proper Plumbing and Countertop Fitting
Homeowners in Hampden and Bolton Hill upgrade kitchen sinks when renovating their historic rowhomes. A new sink installation eliminates leaks, improves water pressure, and complements quality countertops like granite or quartz. With proper plumbing work, your kitchen becomes more functional and your family can wash dishes without dealing with slow drains or weak water flow from aging pipes.
Baltimore rowhomes often have copper pipes and outdated plumbing that require replacement during sink installation. We inspect your water lines and replace worn washers, corroded fittings, and rusted pipes to prevent future leaks. When cutting your countertop opening, we use professional-grade tools that protect expensive stone surfaces from chips and cracks. Every measurement is verified twice to ensure your new sink fits perfectly.
Our plumbers connect all drain pipes, test your faucet pressure, and ensure proper alignment throughout the installation. If you have a garbage disposal, we make sure it connects securely and operates correctly. You can use your kitchen sink the same day we complete the work.

Undermount Sinks Require Precise Cuts and Sealed Edges
Homeowners in Locust Point and South Baltimore choose undermount sinks for their sleek, modern appearance and functionality. Unlike drop-in sinks, undermount styles sit beneath your countertop, creating a smooth surface that makes cleanup effortless; you can wipe crumbs directly into the sink without a rim getting in your way. This installation style showcases your granite or quartz countertop as the focal point of your kitchen.
Installing undermount sinks in Baltimore County homes requires specialized tools and careful countertop work. Granite and marble counters demand precise measurements and professional-grade cutting equipment, improper cuts can crack expensive stone surfaces. We measure twice and cut once to protect your investment.
After the sink is positioned, we apply high-quality silicone around every edge to create a watertight seal that prevents water damage and withstands Maryland’s humid summers and freezing winters.
We secure your undermount sink with heavy-duty mounting clips rated for the specific weight and material. Cast iron sinks require reinforced brackets, while stainless steel models use standard mounting hardware. Before installation, we verify that your cabinet structure can support the sink’s weight.

Bathroom Vanity Sinks Install Fast With the Right Prep
Condo owners in Harbor East and Inner Harbor choose quick bathroom vanity upgrades to modernize their spaces without lengthy downtime. When your bathroom is properly prepared, we can replace a vanity sink in approximately two hours. This allows you to update your bathroom without disrupting your entire day or morning routine before heading to work downtown.
Older Baltimore bathrooms, particularly in Federal Hill and Mount Vernon rowhomes, often have drains positioned at non-standard heights. We bring adapter fittings and necessary connectors to ensure your new sink integrates seamlessly with existing plumbing. Cast iron drain pipes common in historic homes require different connections than modern PVC systems. During installation, we inspect your water pressure and replace worn valves if needed to restore proper flow.
After your sink is secured, we seal around the base with professional-grade caulk to prevent water infiltration behind your vanity, critical for protecting walls in Baltimore’s humid climate. We clean the work area thoroughly and haul away your old sink and all packaging materials. You can use your bathroom immediately after we complete the installation.
Old Sink Removal Prevents Water Damage in Baltimore Rowhomes
Homeowners in Fells Point and Mount Vernon prioritize safe sink removal to prevent costly water damage in their historic properties. Professional removal protects your countertops, plumbing, and walls while revealing hidden issues that DIY projects often miss. Baltimore’s century-old rowhomes frequently conceal deteriorated wood, corroded pipes, and mold growth beneath old sinks, problems that must be addressed before installing new fixtures.
Rowhome plumbing configurations require extra caution because pipes often run through shared walls with neighboring units. A single mistake during removal can cause water damage to multiple properties. We shut off water supply lines and drain all plumbing before beginning demolition work.
In East Baltimore rowhomes where walls are shared, we work methodically to avoid disturbing adjacent properties. We inspect the area beneath your sink for rot and mold, documenting conditions with photos so you understand what repairs are necessary before installation.
We haul away your old sink and dispose of it properly, included in our service. Heavy cast iron sinks common in older Baltimore homes require two-person lifting to prevent injury and property damage. After removal, we verify that your drain lines flow properly and address any issues before your new sink installation begins. This ensures a clean workspace and prevents future plumbing problems.
Farmhouse Sinks Demand Cabinet Modifications Before Install
Homeowners in Riverside and Butchers Hill are increasingly choosing farmhouse sinks, also known as apron-front sinks, to upgrade their Baltimore rowhome kitchens. These deep, exposed-front sinks add character and easily hold large pots and cookware, but they require special cabinet modifications and reinforced support brackets because they weigh 50-100 lbs more than standard drop-ins.
In compact Baltimore rowhome kitchens, we measure carefully to ensure the farmhouse sink won’t block access to back doors or basement stairs. A 33-inch farmhouse sink needs at least a 36-inch base cabinet, so we cut and modify the cabinet front panel, then install structural support beams before setting the sink.
During installation, we level the sink to prevent drainage issues, connect all plumbing lines, and adjust surrounding cabinet doors to sit flush with the exposed apron front. The result is a durable, functional centerpiece for your Canton or Highlandtown kitchen remodel.
