Frequently Asked Questions

Should I charge hourly or by the job for plumbing?▼

Service calls and repairs often work well with hourly rates ($85-150/hour). Larger defined projects like water heater installation or repiping are typically priced as flat-rate jobs for predictability.

How do I estimate repiping costs?▼

Repiping costs depend on home size, number of fixtures, accessibility, and pipe material choice (copper vs. PEX). PEX is typically 30-40% less than copper in labor costs due to faster installation.
