Plumbing Cost
Hey guys. My Mother-in-law has plumbing problems. The house is old, maybe 1940 with galvanized drains. She needs a kitchen faucet, bath vanity faucet, flexible supplies, and traps. My wife & I are helping her out. Any guesses what this is going to cost us? 50m NW of Chicago. MIL jokes allowed with prices. Thanks.

Re: Plumbing Cost
Probably near three hrs. labor with invoicing.Who's providing the material?You may get hourly rates or flat-rate bids.The prices will vary.

Re: Plumbing Cost
She's talking about getting the fixtures, I'm trying to talk her out of it.

Re: Plumbing Cost
In very round numbers, is this going to be about as much as a water heater?

Re: Plumbing Cost
Probably 250. - 400. in labor [depends on who you call.]Lot of variables on prices of fixtures.Total could be 400. and up for total job,the 400. is for low-end fixtures plus labor.That's as close as I can get you.

Re: Plumbing Cost
Thanks, I'll be dancing on a table if it's under $600.

Re: Plumbing Cost
If your near Rockford/Belvedere you should be able to get that done for about that, if you don't mind off brand faucets, if you get quoted a lot more than that they are trying to take your money and run, unless there is more work than you described.

Re: Plumbing Cost
Why don't you call a Plumbing company out for an estimate?
