It seems that our kitchen faucet is at the end of it’s life. Can anyone recommend a good online source for a kitchen faucet? I have Home Depot and Lowes near me but I’d rather a more high end option. (Well, not super high end - just a notch or two above Home Depot/Lowes.) The place where we purchased this faucet (an independent shop) is no longer open. I’ll ask around among my friends if they can recommend a local place, but I did also want to look online.
Thanks in advance!
Costco. 
We’ve had good luck with build.com
I used Build to buy my kitchen sinks.
Thank you for the suggestion @BunsenBurner . I just took a look at their site and they do have one that looks identical to mine (not sure if the brand is the same but it might be) but it is $289, and I was hoping to spend a bit less. But it’s been a decade since I last priced these things, so maybe it is a terrific price. I need to do my research and Costco is a great place to start. Thanks again.
Thanks @astuteoptimist1 - I have never heard of build.com
I’m looking over the site now.
In most locales you’ll find kitchen/bath showrooms that will carry product a step or two up from the big home improvement stores. IMO, it’s nice to be able to see and touch in person before buying to gauge quality and ergonomics.
Fergusons
We’ve purchased faucets as well as sinks from faucetdirect.com and have been pleased with pricing and service. They’re now a part of build.com.
I know several who bought Hans Grohe faucets at Costco. Some installed kitchen ones and we bought and had installed bathroom ones. Prices and quality were great.
It has been my experience that brand and model numbers at HD and Lowe’s have plastic valves. Same make and model at faucetsdirect or Ferguson’s have ceramic workings, hence the cost differential.
We went to a higher end place in person and then purchased the same model at a better price on Amazon.
I got my hansgroh faucet at Costco. Love it.
What kind of faucet do you have now? Delta have lifetime guarantee–they’ll send a replacement (or parts if that’s all it is) Think Moen does also.
We had a Moen faucet…guaranteed for life. After Moen replaced it for free the THIRD time…we decided to get something else. Having a guarantee for life is fine… but we got sick of putting new faucets in.
When we had our new counters put in, we got the Hansgroh at Costco.
Just looked it up, we bought Grohe faucets for both the kitchen and bathroom sinks and the Blanco sinks on Amazon.
Thanks for that reminder @gouf78 . I will look into that possibility.
Blanco sinks from Amazon are sold by Build.com.
We too installed two Talis M Hansgrohe faucets from Costco in both kitchen sinks. So far, so good. Those are solidly made faucets.
No more Moen for us. We had leaky cartridges in every Moen. That alone is not a problem - the problem is that those cartridges are a PIA to remove without a special tool. Thank goodness Amazon sells all of that junk with overnight delivery, and YouTube is choke full of how to videos.
I feel sorry for the high end places that go to all the work of showing you stuff and then get undercut by Amazon. That’s not to say that I haven’t bought stuff at Amazon, or other online marketers. I’ve walked out of a couple of lighting stores who didn’t come and talk to me within 15 minutes of me starting to browse around. I have a Kohler faucet with a hose in the faucet that I like very much. It’s only a few years old so I can’t tell you how it will hold up. I got it a a local place that has five or six stores in the NYC area.
