Cost to install outdoor water faucet?

Why not wait till you buy the home, trade people do not like to waste their time giving estimates, and when you tell them you do not own it, they know it is a time waster.

As for finding someone, as a landlord I can tell you many trade people work on the side, and running a H&C water line is not a big problem, the PEX lines are flexible, spend some time at Lowe's and you might even meet a plumber...it is a DIY project.

Houses will vacuum your pockets, faster than a vehicle.

PEX is tubing, just like a hose, not joking....

This stuff is great to work with and other than sweating an adapter to the existing copper pipe it's simple and easy....

Gator bites eliminate the need for sweating, they make a T and you just push it on, and it digs in...even the water does not need to be out of the pipe...they are about $12 for each T, but cheaper than a plumber, who just stick bread down the pipe and sweats it.

Lowe's has tons of different fittings with Gator Bites..and they connect to PES, PVC and even copper. There is a contractors board if you are interested in things like this..

Main reason why I wanted to run the hot and cold line was to add a wash tub in the garage and to be able to hose off the garage floor (all year round) and not have to run 100ft of hose from the side of the house.

I have a hose bib in the garage, grabbed it off the irrigation supply, I still back the vehicles out and use the pressure washer, however the drive is up a hill, and do not want it to be slick...Indy has no salt..

Check out at Costco, they have a nice laundry sink.
