Hello everybody, I would value your opinion on the following situation.....
First want to say that I am in no way a cheap skate or trying to say plumbing skills don't deserve high pay.....
THE JOB: My mom had a new sink and counter install in her kitchen which was completed by my brother. He hooked up the faucet and water lines but did not do anything with the drains on either side of the sink....previously there was a 2 sided sink in place but the drain pipes were now being blocked on one side where the disposal needed to be in place.
Ok, here is the scope of the job as copied from the quote...
cut into back of cab to expose drain tee
relocate tee for new dbl sink setup
repipe all drains brass
hook up disposal
hook install 2 new basket strainers
___________________
Ok, so the guy was nice I guess, and did a good job, but the total cost was $1350. I was wondering what you guys think? Again, I am all about making sure people get paid and don't expect anything for free but I feel like $1350 was way too much for this job. Look forward to hearing your responses... Tim
