Question regarding replacement of Superior 3/4” brass sprinkler valve

[bornitz]

Hi,

I called my gardener when one of the valves in the front yard started leaking. He replaced the top part with Superior brand, and charged $150. I’m not handy, so I can’t do this myself. I’m in Los Angeles. Does that price seem reasonable?

Thanks in advance,
Bonnie

Thats cheap, you should give him another $50

Yes, my neighbor just had 3 orbit valves replaced, which are plastic, and it cost him $300. I'd say with that brass, you got a good deal.

You shouldn’t charge your neighbors so much.
