$89 just for him to show up on my doorstep and diagnose the problem, and another $99 just for him to crawl under my trailer and turn the main water supply valve on. Maybe that's the going rate, don't know, but it would have been nice if the guy wouldn't have acted all frustrated with me (both tone of voice AND expression) when he had trouble locating the main water supply valve under my home. If you're the plumber, that's YOUR job to figure out where it is, especially when you're telling me you're going to have to charge me that extra $99 just to crawl under there and turn the water back on.

This guy displayed nothing but frustration and impatience and was probably in a hurry because I was his last stop and he needed to get home to his girlfriend - he made a call to her from my deck before he even got started.

Turns out there was no problem, and even though I told him my husband would put the toilet back together when he got home, he ran out to write up an estimate to hand to me anyway, after which he stood there looking at me as if he was expecting me to somehow change my mind and pay another $250-$400 on top of the $188 for him to rebuild the toilet. No thanks.

Those prices are outrageous, and I'm still dumbfounded as to why they would charge an extra $99 just to crawl under a trailer and turn the main water supply valve back on. There was no problem, so the first $89 should have covered all of this - showing up, diagnosing any problems, and turning the main valve on if necessary in order to accomplish this. The only consolation is that they gave me a $40 coupon, so I was only out $148. Still a lot though for the impatience and frustration I had to stand there and watch. In my opinion, they should have paid me.
