How New York City compares
- National median, same category
- $542
- Rank, highest median first
- 1 of 14 published metros
- Metro figures available
- 14 of 15
1 of the 15 metros have no published median for this category; ranks exclude those unknown values. Equal medians share a rank. This compares survey results, not the price of identical work.
What this figure includes
Plumbing fixture work, separate from water-pipe projects and the combined water-heater/appliance category.
The Census category is “Plumbing fixtures” within “Interior Additions and Replacements.” Different project sizes, specifications and amounts of work contribute to the median. The survey does not hold those features constant.
Use it beside a written scope
Are the fixtures, connections, removal and affected finishes all included?
A difference between this figure and your quote does not by itself make the quote high or low. Separate material quantities, removal, preparation, access and excluded work before comparing contractors.
Then use your project budget worksheet to keep actual prices and unresolved work separate.
