I recently called a plumber to fix my leaking toilet. It took him 10 minutes. He charged me for 2 hours.

I learned basic plumbing, carpentry and auto repair when I was in high school. It has saved me a bunch of money.
One big challenge was when my 5 year old daughter flushed a dixie cup in the toilet. Took me about an hour to fish it out.

There is generally a two hour minimum charge if they have to come out to your house.

Not saying it is right, just saying that is probably what the contract says.

You must have brought up that he was charging you 2 hours, what did he say?

Was this overtime work after hours or on a holiday or weekend?

I get $20/hr. to bring my tools & do the job, but I also get $50/hr. to bring what I know to do the job.
I’m usually the best deal around.
