Plumbing estimate FAQ

How do plumbers price an estimate?

Quote fixtures and materials separately, then labor by the hour or by the job. Water heaters and repipes carry permit and inspection lines.

Flat rate or hourly on the estimate?

Flat-rate pricing reassures clients on common jobs; hourly suits diagnostics and unknowns. Contrax handles both — just set the unit and quantity per line.

How do I handle hidden damage behind walls?

Add a terms note that concealed conditions may require a change order, and quote an hourly rate for additional work discovered on site.
