This is probably the best explanation of how to remove a faucet and the entire sink. You just make it easier for us

[@suzielozano470]

Thank you so much this has helped me so much I am alone and a widow and I want to try to do things on my own because everything is too expensive thank you for all your help for keeping it simple

[@andrearose325]

This was a perfect video. Sink is out, pluming is as shown and off to get our new sink! I wouldn't have been able to do this on my own. Thank you.

[@consorciasantiago4009]

It's hard to get a plumber these days. The good ones are very much sought after and hence hard to get.
I would like my kitchen sink and faucet replaced. I was told it will not be easy. After
watching your video I think I could try to do it myself. 😅 I took note of the tools you used. 🎉Thank you.

[@Formul8or]

I can't even begin to count the amount of your videos I've used over the past year in my house, thanks for all of it!

[@kimberlyann1029]

Excellent camera work and sound quality, plus a detailed explanation. Win-win. And I like your Canadian twang.

[@davidhogue4075]

I just demoed my kitchen this afternoon. This video was super helpful. Thanks

[@traceytrix1]

EXTREMELY helpful, clear, and concise - thank you very much. After watching your video, I was able to remove my kitchen sink without mishap in about ten minutes. I had never removed a sink until today.

[@chrissy1310]

Hi Tracey! 7 years later from your comment, I am about to remove a Kitchen sink for a new countertop! good job woman!

[@vcvcvc9216]

@@chrissy1310 a year off from you and I just removed my sink for a deep clean and added a new faucet for the first time, I've been bragging to everyone that will listen lol, even showed my cat but he wasn't too impressed.

[@bruceanderson7762]

Hey there, GOOD WORK!

[@AonCelticArt]

Such a help! Lots of the other videos skip the steps about clamps and what the parts are and how they function. It’s helps to under stand so I can translate it to what the previous owners did with the sink in my house. Thru installed the faucet before dropping the sink in so the faucet fasteners are now blocked by the countertop, so my easy facet switch now involves getting the sink out first. Thank you for the great detailed instruction!

[@devinring1678]

I'm going to tackle my sink today, it's all rotten under the faucet so it won't stay tight. This guy's videos are the best on CZcams. Totally down to earth and detailed for a layman like myself to understand. I've done other house projects in here all thanks to this channel.
The best!

[@robmcewan8361]

"McGiver it". Some people may not get the reference but I loved it. Nice steady camera work by the way. Most easy to follow. Excellent instructional video. Thanks

[@barbarajackson4143]

First time viewer of your channel on U-tube. How to install kitchen sink. Excellent job! Very helpful having cabinets removed and no doubt what you were doing. I subscribed. Thanks again!

[@brandothecat]

I never comment on CZcams videos, but this was really well done. Nice work, and it was useful to me.

[@HouseImprovements]

Thanks and I appreciate the feedback.

[@tuesdeewilliams6683]

Perfect, I just took my sink out at 3am lol. THANKS!

[@scottmcg666]

Great video. Thank you for showing all the parts and how to disassemble and remove them. I just replaced my boat galley sink in under an hour :D

[@MichaMontreal]

Thanks very much! Thanks to this video I've confirmed that I'm on the right track and am sure I'll be able to finish the job when I go back onsite tomorrow. Appreciate you taking the time and explaining so clearly (ex about the clamps). Great stuff. Cheers!

[@DcrgroupNet]

Very impressive video man.. Anyone can remove kitchen sink after watching your video. :)

[@CLTRealtyGroup]

Thank you! I was able to follow this pause and do steps right along with you. Let me know if you have a video on capping lines

[@lottiemccurse1316]

Two thumbs up...Thanks for getting straight to the point and leaving the add on info at the end. I'm pretty confident I will be able to remove my sink and have the plumber for installation.

[@MitchellKGetz]

Clear, straight-forward and concise. Thanks for taking the time to make and post your helpful video. Liked the no-bucket move with the leaking stainless braided tubing. The only recommendation: edit out the non-visible loosening and tightening (faucet fixtures). Good camera work and audio! Thanks again from Okinawa, Japan.

[@nancybryson5488]

Thank you Shannon for this great vid! It could not have been more clear. You are a great teacher!

[@audreynewman2046]

This video was super helpful when I was taking apart my kitchen sink. I did run into one problem though. You said most sinks only have no more than 5 clamps. Of course mine had TEN!

[@Shahzad5814]

Hi Shannon:
I watched your video to remove kitchen sink, and am impressed with your technical knowhow as well as the way you explain the process. I have, therefore, subscribed and will watch your instructional videos. Please keep up the good work, and thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge with non-technical people like myself.

[@HouseImprovements]

Thanks Shahzad! Please spread the word about our site and channel if you like it! Thanks again

[@rachelfolkerth4302]

[@arnelarsen4073]

Love the double P Traps, helps stop soap coming back up into opposite sink. As a plumber wish more plumbers did this.

In my instructions for my new Kohler sink it says to "apply a bead of silicone sealant around the underside of the sink rim" What do you suggest I use as you seemed surprised about the silicone on this one. Thanks again, all your videos are a great help!
