Damn Expensive!
$750 for a valve change! The plumber left a big hole in the bathroom. Had to pay a separate handyman to fix the hole. The handyman told he would have changed the valve and fixed the hole for $200. Plus parts, so around $350 total.
Plumbing is a mean business. You don't know how good life is until you lose your water supply... in the desert. So yeah, we got desperate and hired the 1st company we contacted.. without doing any other research. So yeah, we paid the price. Total damage was over 900 bucks.
PS
The plumber himself is a nice guy. Knows what he's doing. But the company he works for is super expensive.
