Once you have the hot water heater in place, it should only take 30 minutes or less to get it all connected.

If you can find a lawyer that will wrench/sweat pipes for $475 an hour then you will save a boatload of $$ over Applewood and the likes of them.

The company I work for charges 6hr of labor at $65 an hour, plus water heater and parts for a water heater install. That is for a basic 40 of 50gal unit. If the customer wants some fancy shit the cost goes up.

More than reasonable rate. In fact, damn good deal.

If you're unarmed, you are a victim.

Good luck with your project.

Applewood is the most expensive place I've come across. The gave a customer a quote of 400 to pull and reset a toilet.
