Yet if they stay at 12% on the larger jobs, their yearly income is damn low.
Like I said, I've never had to hire a plumber, so I have no idea what their rates are. Being totally in the dark, my initial reaction was that over $250K was high for a two man operation. I'm sure they're talking gross when they mention $250K, and after your example of a plumber costing you $35K for a week, I guess it does seem low. I was just really in the dark on what plumbers/plumbing companies make, so that's where I was looking for clarification.
