re: Plumbing Charges-Labor per Hour

I’m an apprentice plumber myself and have seen some huge bills. Until society pushes for kids to go into trades instead of college, prices will only go up. There’s a lot of old guys in our company that will soon retire.
As far as the job, I’d have done it for you much cheaper, but I hate charging people a lot when I do side jobs.

Not saying there aren't some silly high bills for people who just don't know or feel like getting multiple quotes, but the trades are chock full of employees who think they could charge so much less and still make better money if they went into business for themselves. The smarter ones will realize after about 18mo that overhead is a bitch and either up their prices or close shop. The unfortunate ones will take 5+ years of mucking through thinking next year is finally going to the one where it all comes together. Of course there are the ones who realize the extreme importance of the business side and do make it. But for the 1 that is successful there are 9 that are spending the next 5 miserable years going out of business.
