Beware!! This plumber charges $1500 for his base daily rate plus extra fees for his men and equipment. He was recommended to us by a great plumber that wasn't available. We had a water leak. We dug and found the leak. He came the next day to replace a saddle. We had a mini backhoe on site but he wanted to rent his own excavator (typically $200 a day). He left around lunch time and returned with the part after 2 hours. Total time for the repair, about 7 hours. We were happy with the job done. Late that evening, I received his electronic invoice saying labor and parts (maybe $50-$100 in materials), total $2600. We've had lots of plumbing work (including emergencies) over the last few years, but never had such of rip off. Unbelievable! I've attached his reply when I asked him to breakdown his invoice.
