How Much Does A Plumber Cost?
Saving on plumbing costs without cutting corners
Finding an affordable plumbing repair and plumbing service in Staten Island, Brooklyn, Manhattan and parts of New Jersey can be a challenge. After all, plumbing can be complex and requires very specialized training. You don’t want just anybody going to town on your pipes!
Some plumbing jobs can be DIY, but there isn’t always time to tackle that plumbing project on your own, and emergency plumbing repairs may be beyond your experience.
The best of both worlds: affordable & experienced plumbers
Fortunately, Rucci’s plumbing professionals can handle all sorts of projects and problems around your home. They have the skills, the training and the experience to get your plumbing service done right. By hiring experienced professionals who love their jobs, we can avoid the costs of training newbies or inexperienced contractors – and pass the savings on to you. Plus, we’re always upfront about our pricing and what’s included in a project.
Factors that influence plumbing costs
It’s difficult to cite plumbing costs without discussing the factors that go into making up your plumbing repair or installation bill. That’s because plumbing projects can range from pretty straightforward, like a drain clog or faucet issue, to more complex, like a major leak, very low water pressure, or the need to replace a long section of pipe. When assessing costs, you’ll need to consider:
- Complexity. How difficult will the job be, and will it require a lot of specialized experience and training?
- Urgency. Emergencies can cause damage quickly, and on-call services can be pricier.
- Accessibility. Are the pipes easy-to-reach?
- Compatibility. Are the pipes and fixtures up-to-date with modern plumbing?
- Compliance. What permits may be required for the plumbing work you need?
Depending on the above factors, a plumbing project in New York or New Jersey can run, on average, anywhere from $150 to $1200 to start.

Here’s how NOT to cut costs
The plumbing professionals at Rucci believe in quality work, not in cutting corners like some competitors. Don’t try to save money by going with a plumber who cites low rates but then ends up costing you more by:
- Using dangerous or abrasive drain cleaners containing harmful chemicals, which can severely damage your pipes and plumbing systems over time, resulting in more plumbing repairs needed – and more costs to you.
- Doing quick but sloppy work, leading to the need for additional work and repeat repair visits. We respect that your time and property are valuable, and that’s why we will do our work efficiently, to prevent inconveniences to you and to head off repeat visits.
- Hiding fees and added costs. You need your plumbing service to be upfront and transparent about project pricing.
- Working carelessly, just to get the job over and done with. We will treat your property as if it were our own!
