Questions about plumbing prices
Why does Kent's Plumbing show price ranges instead of fixed prices?
The same job costs different amounts in different houses. Access, pipe material, the age of the fixtures and permit needs all change the labor. The ranges show what most Saint Paul jobs of that type cost; your exact price comes after we see the job.
Do these plumbing prices include the city permit?
When a job needs a permit, the price we give you on site includes pulling it and scheduling the inspection. The typical ranges on this page assume a standard permit where one applies.
Is there an extra charge for a night or holiday plumbing visit?
After-hours emergency visits can cost more than a planned daytime visit. When you call, we tell you whether the problem truly needs someone now and what the visit will cost before anyone heads over.
Call the Saint Paul office, day or night
A real person picks up at any hour. Tell us what you are seeing, and we will tell you what happens next and roughly what it costs.
