What's in the Plumbing starter list
186 rows in total: 60 service tasks in 10 categories, each with a starting price and a unit, plus 126 materials with package sizes in their names.
The loaded list: every row keeps its category, unit, and starting price, ready for your markup schedule.
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.

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.
