"While I feel the company is reputable and the technician very professional and knowledgable I had sticker shock with the prices quoted for repairs. In particular the charge of nearly $200 for a minor toilet tank rebuild. I will definitely get another bid."
"Excellent professional work, highly recommend. Work was done efficiently and our bathroom looks fantastic...I highly recommend and will rehire for sure....Great crew..."
"Great! The team was on time, even a few minutes early, and ready to get to work. They quickly unloaded the POD, but then also assembled a bed frame, unwrapped the plastic film on my upholstered furniture and took away all boxes, plastic and trash that was ready to go when they left. The guys were friendly, efficient and great. Would definitely recommend Budget Pro!"
The average cost to hire a plumber is typically between $45 and $200 per hour, with a common average rate around $125 per hour. This cost can vary based on your location, the plumber's experience, and the complexity of the job. Rates are often broken down by experience level: an apprentice may charge $45 to $90 an hour, a journeyman $60 to $110 an hour, and a master plumber $80 to $200 an hour. While hourly rates are standard, some plumbers may charge a flat fee for routine projects or offer project-based pricing. It's also common for plumbers to charge a minimum service or trip fee. For reference, some typical flat-rate costs for common jobs include: drain unclogging ($220), leaky faucet repair ($270), burst pipe repair ($400), toilet repair ($300), and water heater repair ($600). Note that these rates are for standard service hours; emergency, holiday, and after-hours calls will cost significantly more.
Many homeowners stress about cleaning before an emergency plumber arrives, but you’re far better off doing the following while you wait for your plumber to get to your home:
Shut the water off at your water main if you have a leak or a burst pipe
Avoid using any water fixtures in your home, including appliances
Clear a path to the problem area so that it’s easily accessible
Consider shutting your breaker if you’re concerned that the leak may affect your electrical system
Your toilet handle might not come back up if the nut is loose or the bolt threads are stripped. Try to tighten the mounting nut and wrap plumber’s tape around the handle bolt to fix stripped threads. It’s possible the handle was improperly installed. If that’s the case, you can use the instructions above to correct the handle’s position.
If you know the job is going to be extensive (and you don’t like surprises), hiring a Roto-Rooter specialist may make sense for you. You’ll know how much you’re going to pay right away.
That said, hiring the best plumber isn’t solely about price. If you've worked with a plumber you trust before or have a list of plumbing services you need tackled at your home, working with a plumber might be a better choice for you.
The cost depends on the parts, labor, extent of damage, and whether extensive plumbing modifications are required. Typical repairs cost $150-$300.
