Fixture Installation in Dahlonega
Putting in a new faucet, toilet or sink in Dahlonega? Ryan Chastain is a licensed Master Plumber who installs them and checks the valves and lines behind them. You can buy the fixture, or he can source it.
Short answer: Ryan Chastain, a licensed Master Plumber, installs faucets, toilets, sinks, showers and garbage disposals for Dahlonega homeowners. You can buy the fixture yourself or ask Ryan to source it, and the estimate is free before any work starts.
Dahlonega is about 35 miles southeast of Ellijay, where Ryan is based, in Lumpkin County. Because he is mobile and prefers text, the easiest way to start is a photo of what you have and a photo of the fixture you plan to install.
Dahlonega's historic district around the square is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and many homes nearby were built long before today's fixtures. The fixture is rarely the hard part in a house like that. The hard part is what sits behind it: stiff shutoff valves, supply lines that have been in the wall for decades, and sinks set in cabinets that were cut for older, smaller bowls.
Swapping a faucet is quick when the valves under the sink turn. When they do not, replacing the valve is part of the job. Ryan checks that first and tells you before he starts, so a simple faucet change does not turn into a surprise.
The city's design guidelines for the historic district cover changes you can see from the street. A new faucet, toilet or sink inside the house is a different matter from a new vent or hose connection on an outside wall, so if a job touches the outside of a house in the district, check with the City of Dahlonega first.
The City of Dahlonega's 2025 water quality report says its water met state and federal standards, and it also says lead and copper in drinking water mostly come from household plumbing and fittings, not from the city's source. UGA Extension adds that water can pick up lead from solder in homes with plumbing installed before 1987.
That makes a faucet or valve replacement a natural time to look at your plumbing. A new faucet will not remove lead from old pipes behind the wall, so if you are concerned, ask the city about testing, and ask Ryan what type of filter fits your sink. The city's report says a filter certified by an accredited certifier to reduce lead is effective, and that cold water should be used for drinking and cooking.

Common Questions
Yes. You can buy the fixture, or Ryan can source it. Either way, you get a free estimate before any work starts.
Do not force it. A valve that has sat for years can break. Text Ryan a photo, and he will tell you whether it needs to be replaced as part of the job.
No. A fixture does not change the water that comes to it. If you see red or brown stains, read about orange stains in the sink and ask Ryan about the water.
Ryan can look at it. Send a photo of the space, and the measurement from the wall to the center of the drain. He will tell you what fits before you buy.
Yes. Ryan does shower plumbing, shower valves and shower drains, and he installs and repairs garbage disposals.
