    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.
