Was the work inspected by the local code enforcement ? Of course not.All our plumbers communicate with the others, so im guessing their quotes were all about the same.
How can you expect similar prices when one party isn’t playing by the rules ?

Do you live in Mexico ?It is common practice for the homeowner to pull all permits and deal with the city. The minimum fee for a permitted job is in excess of $1000. As I understand it, repairs do not need permitted, only new construction/remodel. I've bought and sold many houses and unpermitted projects are not even looked at.
apprentices are under the supervision of a licenced plumber by phone if needed ,If unlicensed people are going out doing work without direct supervision on the job then licenses don’t mean squat.
In my state it is 3 years working under a master plumber, that may have changed to hours. The ape would be registered as soon as he starts in the trade. Once they get enough hours they send in the signed affidavits and apply to take journeyman test. I went through the union apprenticeship so i also had code book training, not all get that and have to find that on their own. The journeyman test i took was a practical hands on lead wiping and copper manifold project, followed by code questions. I believe each state has their own test procedures.Just curious, On the topic of plumbing apprentices, in every state, are they required to take classroom training + monitored (evaluated) with on the job experiences? Does one get to a journeyman title by being an apprentice for some period of time or is there some field evaluation done?
