What are they smoking?

Today, we got a bid from our favorite plumber to replace two faucets. We have already purchased the new fixtures; they are to replace two existing faucets in tubs (one of which is a thermostatic faucet). I was expecting this to be about $300 for both, and take a couple of hours.

We got the bid. $350.

Each.

We’re going to get more bids: $700 to replace two faucets, even if welding of copper piping is required, is ridiculous. If anyone has a good recommendation for an affordable plumber in the San Fernando Valley, drop me a comment.
