Are you wishing you had a better setup for watering your garden, washing your car, or outdoor cleanup? Or maybe you’ve had a hose bib freeze and burst – and now you’re wondering what it really costs to get it done right. Either way, you’ve come to the right place.
When it comes to hooking up a new exterior faucet like a hose bib, you need confidence that the job isn’t posing the risk of leaks, water damage, or frozen pipes to your home’s plumbing system. And at Mattioni, we’ve been doing the job for over 75 years.
In this article, you’ll find what it costs to install or replace a hose bib, what’s included in the job, what impacts price, and how to get the best value for your home.
Let’s break it down so you can move forward with confidence.
In a rush? Here’s all of the pricing info on our hose bib installation services at Mattioni. Read on for key details.
What’s the Average Cost to Install a Hose Bib?
At Mattioni, a hose bib installation costs between $400 and $600 – including both parts and professional labor from a licensed plumber.
Curious where in that range your home’s hose bib installation will cost? The sole biggest factor affecting your total price of the project is whether you’re replacing an existing hose bib or installing a new one.
We’ll explain why that is below – but no matter the case, we’ll provide you with clear, upfront pricing so that you have the knowledge and confidence to make the best decision for your home.
Cost to Replace an Existing Outdoor Hose Bib
If you already have a hose bib and it just needs to be replaced, your cost will likely be at the lower end of the $400 to $600 range.
This job type is more straightforward because the plumbing is already in place. Here’s what our team will do: shut off the water, remove the old faucet, inspect it for damage or corrosion, and install the new fixture. Most hose bib replacements are conveniently done in under an hour – and we always test for leaks and proper drainage.
Not sure if you need a new outdoor hose bib faucet? You may need a replacement if:
- Your current faucet is leaking, stuck, or corroded
- You’re upgrading to a frost-free or anti-siphon model
- You want peace of mind heading into winter
The value? You get a secure, professionally installed faucet – backed by a team that checks the full system behind the wall, not just the spigot outside.
Cost to Install a New Outdoor Hose Bib
Adding a brand-new outdoor faucet – where there isn’t one now – usually falls in the higher end of the $400 to $600 price range.
This project takes more planning and expertise. Our team will locate the nearest water line, determine the best entry point, drill safely through the wall, and install the new plumbing, which includes:
- A secure shutoff valve inside your home
- Proper insulation and freeze protection
- Full sealing and backflow prevention
Your final price will depend on how far the faucet is from your water source, how accessible the space is, and how much plumbing work is needed to properly join everything.
The value? A brand-new outdoor faucet exactly where you need it – with the peace of mind that it’s done right the first time.
Why the Right Installation Matters More Than You Think
A hose bib may seem simple – but behind the scenes, it’s a crucial connection point between your home’s plumbing system and outdoor exposure. If it’s not installed properly, you could face leaks, frozen pipes, water damage, code violations, and expensive repairs in the future.
At Mattioni, we do more than just hook up a faucet. We do each of the following:
- Protect your home from future damage
- Follow all local codes and permitting standards
- Use high-quality, weather-rated materials
- Back our work with proven experience and clear guarantees
When we’re talking about your home, shortcuts just aren’t worth the risk. We make sure the job’s done right – so you can turn on the hose with confidence, not concern.
Other Hose Bib Cost Factors to Consider
While new installation vs. replacement is the main cost driver, here are a few other things that might affect the final price:
- Location and Access: If access to the jobsite is tight, more labor may be required.
- Faucet Type: The features included in your faucet (frost protection, anti-siphon) may carry a small upgrade cost.
- Shutoff Valve Additions: If a shutoff valve doesn’t already exist indoors, we’ll strongly recommend adding one for year-round control and safety.
We’ll walk through all of this with you before the job starts – so there are no surprises and no guesswork on your end
