I hired this company to install iSpring WGB32B 3-Stage Whole House Water Filtration System and replacement of 8 shutoff valves. I supplied the shutoff valves and Water Filtration System. George brought an apprentice to install the system. The workmanship of George and his apprentice is ok so far, no leaks. He didn't take time to debur copper pipe cuts. He did say anything about his Travel fee at front. His material /consumable charge was a big surprise as well. He kept the labor charge as per our phone discussion ($380) and charged us more on the material and Travel fee. In short, he has his way to charge more.
If you are NOT AN EXPERT please avoid him otherwise hire him with end-to-end cost details in advance with written email then proceed with caution. See attached picture for detail of the work and invoice.
Estimated cost = below $600 Labor (380) + max Material cost (120) + Tax)
Total max value of materials supplied by installer George is below $120
1) 3/4 Copper Pipe 14 ft used - 27.9 (6ft) * 3(Qty) = 83.70

3) Pipe Stay-Extended 3/4In Copper pipe hanger - 3.13 (Qty 1)
4) Solder, paste and gas
