Red Plains Plumbing

I hired Red Plains Plumbing after having another company come out and give me a quote that seemed ridiculously high $850.00 to run a gas line to my new fireplace.



I am a do-it-yourself person and usually only contract out work that requires a licensed contractor like Plumbers or Electricians.



After getting a quote that I felt was way too high for such a simple job. I decided to go to The Home Depot and find out what it would take to run the line myself and just have the Plumber make the connections. I was told a The Home Depot that I could use the yellow gas flex line and run it through the attic. I purchased the 1/2 inch by 75 foot gas line and the two ends needed for the plumber. At a cost of $155.00 with tax. Myself and my nephew ran the line through all three attics in about an hour.



Next came time to find the gas licensed plumber. I called the fireplace store where I purchased my fireplace. They gave me the number for Red Plains Plumbing. So I called and talked to Steve Thurmond and he said he would have someone out in the morning.



The guys showed up around 9:30 and after finding the point where they would would need to tie in to the existing gas line. They said it would be a service call plus parts. It took them about 2 hours to complete the job and they had to provide some additional parts to meet code. All said and done, their bill was $337.50



The total job ran a little more than I expected, but I wasn't aware of code and the extra parts needed. However I am completely satisfied with the job that was done and I feel like Red Plains Plumbing was very fair with their bill.



I would recommend them for a gas line installation.
