How the starting prices were set

Task prices were checked against published 2025–26 installed-cost guides from HomeGuide, accessed September 24, 2026: HomeGuide drain cleaning cost, HomeGuide plumbing estimates. Those guides report what homeowners pay for installed work, so these are starting points rather than market medians. Each task's cost field is an editorial estimate of parts and labor, which you should replace with your own.

Plumbing materials

The materials cover PEX, copper, PVC/DWV, and CPVC pipe and fittings, ball valves and angle stops, supply lines, toilet and faucet repair parts, water heater elements and anode rods, expansion tanks, and water heaters, pumps, and disposals. 124 of them load at cost with 0% markup; your markup schedule sets the selling price. The other 2 are generic rows with a starting price.

How to use the template

  1. Load the list. In a Pricebookr trial, choose Use this template from the empty catalog or from Settings. Items you already have (matched by name) are skipped, and a snapshot is taken first so the load can be rolled back.
  2. Set your prices. Edit any starting price, or apply a markup schedule by cost band to reprice the whole list in one run.
  3. Send it to Jobber. Push the finished price book to Jobber's products and services with the Jobber integration or export it for QuickBooks Online or Housecall Pro. Both need a paid plan.

FAQ

Is the plumbing price book template free?

The Plumbing list loads during Pricebookr's 14-day free trial, with no credit card required. Pushing prices to Jobber and exporting the catalog need a paid plan.

Are these national average plumbing prices?

No. They are starting prices for a plumbing shop in the U.S., checked against published 2025–26 installed-cost guides from HomeGuide, accessed September 24, 2026. They are not surveyed contractor medians. Review them for your labor rate, overhead, and market before quoting.

Where do the material costs come from?

124 of the 126 material rows load with a captured retail cost and no markup, so cost and price start equal. Replace them with your supply house costs and let your markup schedule set the selling price.

What happens to items I already have?

Anything whose name matches an item already in your catalog is skipped, so loading the list twice or into an existing catalog never creates duplicates.
