D & G Plumbing Grossly overcharged for one hour of labor Wilmington, North Carolina
I called D & G Plumbing to repair a water leak under our house. A man and woman were here for no more than an hour and a half. Is the job well done? I can't assess that within the short time since they left. The charge, however was over $400.00. When confronted, the man stated, rather rudely, that this is his charge for "risking life and limb" in our crawl space, which is a typical area of approximately 3' high. I have since obtained estimates from 3 other companies, all quoting no more than $200 for the job. Obviously, I should have gotten the estimates first; lesson learned. The company took advantage of a senior citizen who just needed to get the leak repaired.

Another person who agreed to have a job done and after it was successfully completed, THEN bitched about the price.
Then gets prices from people who did not do the job and never even saw the the job and thinks it's a fair comparison.

You are a sucker, But not in the way you think.
The over thee phone plumbers quoted $200 for 1 1/2 hours work. I lay you money if they thought they would have to actually do this work it would have been much much closer to what you got charged.
Milage to residence 1.5 hrs @ $100 to $150 per hour.
Excess shop supply charge for working in dirt crawl space.
$400 seems pretty fair to me, especially if both employees actively worked on issue. Means 3 man hours labour.
Believing a plumbing quote over the phone just stamps sucker on you and your property. No reputable plumber will quote a guarantied price without seeing the job first.
