My Plumber In Northern Va. Mechanic 1112 Charged $617.54 - 40 minutes work for 1 1/2 inch PVC pipes under kitchen sink repair and replace Somewhere In Northern Virginia

I called My Plumber in Northern Va 703-273-4611 to ask for a quote to replace a 1 1/2 inch PVC drain system for a double bowl sink under my kitchen sink that I installed. My Plumber told me they would not offer any quotation and I had to pay 79.00 for a technitian to come out to my home 20 minutes away and then give me a price up front for the work to be performed.

The technitian told me the work would cost $617.54 I could not believe that it cost that much and when I asked the technitian if this work for a professional plumber was in line with the rest of the competitian, he said yes. I was surprised how easy this job was and only took 42 minutes to complete the plastic parts replacement. If I chose to decline the work, I would be still be charged $79.00 for the trip to my home.

This job took 42 minutes to perform at over $600.00. This means they charged me over $1000.00 per hour. The plastic parts could not have been over $20.00 in total. I even had to go to my local hardward store around the corner to purchase a two foot piece of neoprene hose to connect to the dishwasher. I cannot believe I paid over $617.00 for $15.00 in materials and over $600.00 in labor for approx 40 minutes of work!
