holy moly fatman!
had to have 4 hose bibs changed out for rockwork, need to the longer.
4 hose bibs, about 2 hrs. for 2 plumbers just cost us almost 1,400.00
have been using this co. since I got here 8 yrs. ago, next time I will be shopping around for a decent price.
4 hose bibs at home depot run about 180.00 for the 8" we had installed.

The plumbers we use in Denton charge me $95/hr for 1 plumber and $135/hr for a plumber and a helper. It's money well-spent if it keeps me from doing plumbing work.

Dang. We're paying about $175 for a service call and about $150/bib when we've had 'em done...I thought that was stupid. Did they at least buy you dinner before and kiss you after?

just printed the bill, 208.00 for 3 of them, 755.00 for another, they were all the same ease of install.
wait till I bill them for the 12" 2x6 and 2 screws along with my labor for 15 mins. (I only bill in 1 hr. increments).

What did these guys do? Did they simply unscrew the old bibs and screw on the new ones? Or was there some soldering involved?

I bet they charged you door to door since you're out in the boonies.

What did these guys do? Did they simply unscrew the old bibs and screw on the new ones? Or was there some soldering involved? no soldering, they used the compression fittings on one and the other 3 were just screw out, screw in. called for an explanation of why one was more than triple the cost of the others and no call back, guess I am goin in early am and get arrested (I have a short temper when stupid is involved).
