Why Do We Post Our Prices Online?

We don't claim to be the cheapest plumber in town—but we do guarantee upfront pricing and zero hidden surprises by letting you see what we charge before you ever book an appointment.

How Our Pricing Works

Swell Guy Plumbing uses flat rate pricing for most of our routine plumbing services. We use hourly rates for some services. For more complex jobs, we will give you an estimate before we begin the work.

Price Ranges

These price ranges are for our normal service area. Please note that these are price ranges only and a definite price will only be given during an on site visit. Our $45 dispatch/scheduling fee counts towards any work tha we perform.

$45 Dispatch Fee

To keep things fair and affordable, our $45 dispatch fee is applied directly to your service. Think of it as a down payment on getting your plumbing running perfectly again.

We Offer Financing

Swell Guy Plumbing has teamed with Wisetack to offer financing for jobs over $500. A link to apply for financing is attached to every estimate (over $500) that we provide. An onsite visit is required for Swell Guy Plumbing to give you an estimate.

While some companies advertise “free estimates” only to surprise you with hidden trip fees later, we believe in total transparency. We charge a $45 dispatch/scheduling fee to cover the time and travel to your property to get our eyes on the problem. Rest assured, this fee counts toward any service or repair we do for you.

Because every home and plumbing system is unique, we need to see the problem in person to provide an accurate, definitive price. Even detailed pictures can miss hidden variables that affect the job.

To keep things completely transparent, we post our most common repair and replacement price ranges right here on our website so you can get a clear idea of what to expect. If you choose to move forward with a repair during our visit, our $45 dispatch fee goes directly toward the cost of the fix. We invite you to review our price ranges, and when you’re ready to get it resolved, you can easily book your visit online or give us a call!
