Find a contractor with experience in plumbing. Faucet repair is often a very simple job that requires very little expertise. However, you want to have a contractor who is trained to fix any contributing factors that led to the need for faucet repair. This way, you will be sure that the repairs are being done by someone who is experienced enough to actually fix the problem.

Use this job as a test for finding a consistent contractor for similar jobs around the house. Little problems like this are always cropping up in the home. Calling a new contractor every time something breaks is inefficient and very costly. This can be a good opportunity for you to find a contractor you're comfortable using on a consistent basis.

It is important to get an estimate before the contractor gets started. Don't allow the size of the job to lull you into a false sense of security. Small jobs do not necessarily result in smaller bills. You should always know what you're going to be charged before the contractor gets to work.
