I had this company quote a standard master bathroom remodel (relocating a toilet, adding dual sinks, capping a tub, and installing shower mixers). They handed me an estimate for over $20,000 for what is, at maximum, two days of work and what their quite included. 12 to 17 hrs at over $1300 per hour. To break that down further, they wanted $5,000 just for the final fixture trim installs, which is a five hour job at most.
I immediately got a second opinion and hired a highly rated local plumber who executed the exact same scope of work for $6,000 using premium materials (with all crimped copper plumbing and installation a 20 yr ecperience master plumber).
A $14,000 price difference is not a standard variance in labor rates; it is a predatory business model! They throw out wildly inflated bids hoping you will not do your research.
Do yourself a favor and get another quote before signing anything with this company.
Overpriced is an understatement
Consumers need to be warned when a company attempts to charge over $23,000 for two days of standard residential plumbing with less that $532 in basic supplies snd materials.
