re: OT Electricians - Was This Price A Tad High?

Were ALL parts supplied? I got 2 quotes yesterday from plumbers to replace a 3 handle faucet with a single handle and renovation plate. 1st quote was $1175 all said and done. 1 price including parts 2nd quote was “probably 2-4 hours work at $135/ hour” plus parts which were around $150-200. Point being, that quote looked like the standard “ceiling fan replacement quote” from an overpriced electrician. Didn’t matter how long it took. One price.

I'm pretty sure it was one part, wall controller and receiver inside the same package.

You can see how they tried to split it up on the invoice like it was 2 separate jobs - one of them being changing out the wall switch controller, which apparently was about 5 minutes spent out of the 40.
