1 hour job, same day service, quality work, $15 worth of parts, easy access outside exposed plumbing, no digging or wall opening, job quoted over $700, paid close to $600
I expected the job to run around $300.
Union Plumber costs approximately $100 an hour including fringes. Throw in another $100 for office,, equipment, etc. overhead plus an additional 50% profit ($100) and you arrive at a total of $300. Is the rest travel time?
