OUR PRICING AT KPE
At Kennedy’s Plumbing and Electrical, we believe in doing things differently - and better. That starts with transparent, fair, and honest pricing.
We don’t rely on traditional hourly rates that can leave you guessing what the final bill will be. Instead, we’ve adopted a margin-based pricing model that reflects the real cost of delivering quality, reliable plumbing and electrical services - while keeping your experience simple, stress-free, and crystal clear from start to finish.
Why We Don’t Charge by the Hour
Hourly rates often appear cheaper, but they can be misleading. You might not know how long a job will take - or what might be added to the bill later. In many cases, companies that rely on hourly billing underestimate their true costs, which can lead to rushed jobs, unexpected fees, or cut corners.
At Kennedy’s, we’re not about quick fixes. We’re about long-term solutions delivered by skilled professionals with the time, tools, and training to get it right the first time. That’s why we use a margin pricing system - to ensure transparency, sustainability, and top-tier service, every time.
Our Margin Pricing Model

-
Labour
-

-
Vehicles & Equipment
-
Office & Admin Support
-

-

-
Plus a modest margin for business sustainability
This approach ensures every dollar you spend goes directly toward delivering safe, high-quality, professional service - with no hidden surprises.

Breakdown Percentage Amount
Labour 30%. $300
