Needed a basic install of a hot water heater. This company quoted 3X what other local companies were quoting for the same job. $2,500 vs $800. Their reason was that they would need to pull permits and have a city inspector come inspect their work. This is NOT required at all and is just a way for them to inflate their pricing.

I could have upgraded to a tankless water heater and still paid less then what TLC Plumbing quoted for a tank water heater.
