Clayton did a great job on replacing the Delta valve module on my shower and I give them a rating of 5 for his workmanship. All the work was done in less than an hour. The total for the job was $564 dollars.
The way they cost out a job is that they charge you $89 for the rolling the truck and performing any diagnostics when they arrive. Once they determine a course of action then they provide a flat rate to perform the work. The approximate breakdown of the job that took around an hour was:
Arrival and diagnostic: $89
Parts: $60 (as stated by Clayton)
Job Cost: $415
Total: $564
In my opinion these costs excessive. For the last 10-15 years+ plummers have used flat rates to complete jobs rather than separately charging for parts and labor. They charge you to arrive and do a diagnostic (I told them straight away that the shower valve was leaking - no diagnostics) and then once they're in your house they quote you a price for the job. In this instance the hourly rates works out to about $400 per hour which in my opinion is excessive. I understand that they have overheads; nevertheless, I give them a rating of 1 for the cost.
It would be a much better for the customer that small jobs would be done by the hour. Quote by the job would be better for larger jobs.
Again, I want to reinterate that the workmanship was excellent, but I'll be shopping around next time for any small jobs I have.

Tylen and his helper did a fantastic job. We received a picture of the Plumber (Tylen) prior to their arrival. Tylen called before arriving to let us know they were on their way. They arrived within the scheduled time, placed clean booties over their boots (excellent) and immediately assessed the problem. We were informed they had the part in the truck, what the cost would be and completed the job very quickly. Tylen and his helper were very polite and professional. They cleaned the area when they completed the job, asked us if we needed anything else for them to look at. I definitely highly recommend Area Plumbing, you will not be disappointed. Thank you for the excellent work!!!

Preston and his team did an outstanding job in their part of us switching from septic to sewer. From breaking the cost analysis down Barney-style to the actual work AND clean up. Highly recommended.

Professional, courteous, efficient and knowledgeable in all aspects as Mr. Marsh and his co-worker tackled a major weekend after-hours drainage problem in my home. Rapid response and I was kept updated on arrival time. As the work progressed, Mr. Marsh kept me informed on the situation. They identified the blockage being outside the perimeter of my home and handled all the necessary contacts and smoothly coordinated the transitional work crew efforts with another company. I always felt I was in good hands as he patiently answered all my questions and alleviated all of my concerns. I highly recommend Area Plumbing and these two plumbing professionals and the honest and professional atitudes they demonstrated.

This was our 3rd company to come out! Preston was AMAZING, he went above and beyond to assist us! Another company had advised us we needed one service when it turned out we in fact didn’t. He also found a serious issue that the other company didn’t even find. We won’t ever again use anyone else. It’s been hard to find honest, hard working companies that do good quality work at a resource price. Thank you Preston and area plumbing, you now have a customer for life.
