I would like to know what the typical cost would be for a plumber to replace the plumbing behind my washing machine. The work would involve cutting about a 12"x12" hole into the wall for access to the copper pipes and cutting into the copper pipes about 6" down and rebuild back up including the fittings and plastic enclosure at the top for the washer hoses both hot and cold. I had this done today and they charged me 990.00. It took him about 2 hours. He had a plumbers job book that he referred to for the pricing. Was I ripped of today or was this about average for the work that was done.
Thank you
