Why would he charge more for labor? Because the grocery store charges more, the gas station charges more, the (fill in the blank) charges more. It's called inflation.
Thanks Joe. Trump please Hit him with another golf ball
But does the wages of the homeowner go up as well? Did your salary go up? Some things in life aren't quite fair but that's the way life is sometimes.
Is this good luck or bad luck? I was talking to the garage door repairman as he was finishing up replacing a spring on one of my garage doors. While we were talking, we heard a loud "ping". It was the spring breaking on the other overhead door. It saved me a service call fee.
I need someone in the Broken Arrow area to come out and service my garage door. It sounds AWFUL when opening and closing. Any recommendations?

I think you’re right about price gouging. However the price of everything is going through the roof including supplies and available laborers are short. It’s not just the hourly rate of an owner.
The FIL lawn guy said he cannot find help and when he does. They work for a week and quit.
I’d like to see the pricing and availability of an HVAC system. Look at the price of 410A. A couple years ago, A 25 lbs tank was $120, today it’s $485 today, at least on eBay.
I am not defending HVAC techs. I was told by an owner that went from being an accountant to owning a HVAC company. He said when he lost his accounting job he looked around to find a hands on tech job. He said the HVAC guys all drove new vehicles while the other techs for the other crafts drove old vehicles.
Was just talking about HVAC with the FIL last night. He mentioned that at some companies HVAC techs earn a commission, if they can convince you that you need a new system rather than repair your old one.
Most companies are like that now. There's one veteran run one in okc that I know isn't, but I can't recall the name.
There's not too much to an HVAC system. If you can fix your car you can probably fix your HVAC system. I've been keeping my 1970s model RUUD running for the last 20 years. The electronics on newer systems make it more difficult, and zoned systems, but if some guy off the internet can fix it, you probably can too. Just read up.
