FAQs
What does “up-front pricing” mean for my commercial plumbing project in Rutledge?
Up-front pricing means you receive a firm, written quote for the entire scope of work before any tools come out of the truck. We assess your building, explain the repair or installation options, list every material and labor charge, and give you a single price that will not change once you authorize the job. You never see surprise line-items, hidden fees, or hourly add-ons—just clear, predictable costs you can build into your facility budget.
How do you determine the price before work begins?
Our licensed plumbers perform a thorough on-site inspection, using cameras, pressure tests, or thermal imaging as needed to diagnose the issue. We then consult our standardized price book, which factors in local material costs, labor hours, equipment usage, and any required permits for the City of Rutledge. Because the pricing structure is preset, every customer with the same scope of work receives the same fair rate, regardless of property size or time of day.
Can the quoted up-front price ever change after I approve it?
Only in two rare situations: (1) If hidden conditions are discovered that could not be detected during the initial inspection—such as a collapsed pipe behind a concrete wall—and (2) if you request additional work outside the original scope. In either case, we stop, show you the findings, and issue a revised quote for your approval. If no unexpected conditions arise, the price you sign off on is the price you pay, guaranteed.
Do you charge extra for after-hours or emergency commercial plumbing calls?
No. Our up-front pricing model applies 24/7. Whether you call at 2 p.m. or 2 a.m., the quote is based on the job itself, not the clock. This helps property managers and facility engineers in Rutledge control operating expenses when a burst pipe, gas leak, or sewer backup happens outside normal business hours.
Which commercial plumbing services are available with up-front pricing?
We cover the full spectrum of commercial plumbing needs: hydro-jet drain cleaning, water heater installation, backflow prevention testing, grease trap maintenance, tenant improvement plumbing, pipe repiping, restroom fixture upgrades, and code-compliant gas line work. Each service is listed in our price book with clear task descriptions, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before work starts.
Is your commercial plumbing work licensed, insured, and warrantied?
Yes. We hold current Georgia state and City of Rutledge master plumbing licenses, carry $2 million in liability insurance, and maintain full workers’ compensation coverage. All repairs are warrantied for one year, and new installations come with manufacturer warranties plus our own labor warranty. Documentation is provided in writing alongside your up-front pricing agreement for complete peace of mind.
