A-1 American Plumbing
Price-gouging. Replaced a shower valve. Charged $175 to gain access through dry wall, $260 for valve, and $940 for labor (1 hour). Absolutely criminal!

Bottom line: This company over charges for their services. Do not use them. I had them replace a shower valve and they charged $175 to gain access through dry wall (I did it myself in 5 minutes), $260 for the valve (I purchased a high quality one at HD for $130), and $940.50 for labor (it took exactly one hour). Total: $1375!!! You have got to be kidding. I subsequently checked with 4 other plumbers in the area (never mentioning the outrageous pricing from A-1 American) and they were mostly in the ballpark of $500-$575, which included the cost of the valve and gaining access through the dry wall.
So A-1 American charges almost $1000 more than its competitors to replace a shower valve. Consumers beware and spread the word!!! This is criminal.
