FAQs
What is flat-rate pricing in plumbing and how does it work?
Flat-rate pricing means you pay a single, upfront amount for the specified plumbing job instead of being billed by the hour. After our licensed technician inspects the issue in your Sale Creek home or business, we consult a standardized price book that lists the cost for each common repair or installation. You approve the price before any work starts, and that figure will not change even if the job takes longer than expected.
Why is flat-rate pricing beneficial compared to hourly billing?
Flat-rate pricing removes uncertainty. You know the exact cost before work begins, so there are no surprises when the invoice arrives. It also aligns our interests with yours—our plumbers focus on doing the job correctly, not on stretching the clock. Many customers in Sale Creek prefer this model because it simplifies budgeting and eliminates the stress of watching the hours add up.
Does the flat-rate price include both parts and labor?
Yes. Our quoted flat-rate covers all standard parts, labor, and basic materials required for the listed task. If we discover an unrelated problem or a code upgrade is needed, we will explain the situation and provide a separate flat-rate quote for that additional work. You’ll never be billed for extra parts or labor without your explicit approval.
How are your flat-rate prices determined?
We update our price book regularly using industry data, manufacturer pricing, local cost of living figures, and our own historical job times in the Sale Creek area. This ensures the rates are fair, competitive, and reflect real-world conditions. Because the prices are standardized, you receive the same honest rate whether the job is scheduled on a weekday morning or turns out to be more complex than anticipated.
Are there any hidden fees, trip charges, or overtime rates?
No. Once you authorize the quoted flat-rate, that is the total you’ll pay. We do not tack on mileage, fuel surcharges, after-hours premiums, or disposal fees. The only exception would be if you request additional services beyond the original scope; those would be quoted—and must be approved—under a separate flat-rate before we proceed.
Does your flat-rate pricing apply to emergency plumbing calls in Sale Creek?
Absolutely. Whether it’s a scheduled appointment or a 2 a.m. burst pipe, our flat-rate structure remains in effect. We recognize that emergencies are stressful enough without worrying about skyrocketing costs. You will receive your upfront price after our on-site assessment, and that rate is locked in, even for nights, weekends, or holidays.
