FAQs
What does “up-front pricing” mean for my plumbing job in Tellico Plains?
Up-front pricing means you know the exact cost of the work before any tools come out of the truck. After our licensed plumber inspects the issue, we present a written, fixed-price quote that includes parts, labor, tax, and disposal. You approve the number before we begin, so there are no surprises when the job is finished.
How do you calculate the up-front price for plumbing repairs or installations?
Our pricing is based on a flat-rate menu that factors in the task’s complexity, required materials, and average labor time—not the number of hours a technician happens to spend. We keep regional material costs up to date for Tellico Plains, and any manufacturer discounts are passed on to you. Once we diagnose the problem, we match it to the corresponding flat-rate item and give you the total in writing.
Are there any hidden fees I should worry about?
No. The written quote you sign covers everything: travel, diagnostic time, parts, labor, cleanup, and local sales tax. We do not tack on fuel surcharges, environmental fees, or paperwork processing costs. If a permit is required, its cost is included in the quote as well.
What happens if the plumber discovers additional problems once work has started?
If we uncover an unforeseen issue—like a pipe section that has corroded beyond what was visible during the initial inspection—we stop and show you the problem. We then provide an updated fixed-price quote for the extra work. You decide whether to proceed. We never move forward or add charges without your explicit approval.
Do you charge extra for after-hours or emergency service in Tellico Plains?
Our up-front pricing applies 24/7. For true emergencies outside normal business hours, there is a clearly stated emergency-dispatch fee, but it is quoted before we send a technician. Once the plumber arrives, the repair or replacement itself is still billed at the same flat-rate menu price used during regular hours.
How can I get an up-front plumbing estimate or schedule service?
Call our local Tellico Plains office, use the online booking form, or text us photos of the issue for a preliminary range. We’ll schedule a free on-site diagnosis at a time that works for you. After the inspection, you’ll receive a written fixed quote valid for 30 days. If you approve it on the spot, most repairs can be completed immediately because our trucks are fully stocked.
