Despite growth from do-it-yourself stores, contractors still have a big say when it comes to installing faucets.
According to a survey by PM, four out of five contractors said their recommendations are usually accepted on service calls to homeowners about which faucet brand to install. When remodeling, 71 percent of contractors said the faucet recommended is usually accepted.
On the other hand, the homeowner only makes the call 8 percent of the time during service calls and 13 percent of the time during remodeling jobs.
