i felt like I was gouged. It was a simple leak in a straight water line. He placed a 4 inch pipe on the line to patch it up. the charge was $375.00. I thought he was joking at first. I had an earlier repair job in Mar for a frozen pipe. He replaced the shut-off valve and repaired the pipe for $365.00 so I thought this repair would have been reasonable. Once he gave me the estimate I was already out $80.00, so at that point I felt I had to go along with it. I'm pretty sure I will not call on Mr. Plumber again. It was pretty insulting that the repairman after quoting this ridiculous estimate said, "and that is with the discount."
