Is $500 to install a hose bib with a t-fitting and valve a fair price?
Project Details
I live in my parents' house in the NW Chicago suburbs. Last summer they paid for a hose bib installation that failed this spring when the propress fitting started gushing water. I ended up buying my own propress tool to fix it myself because I feel the trade has become too simplified for basic jobs.
