Is $482.00 a fair price for this install (including the shutoffs and short
bits of tubing)?

Parts and labor are not broken out but the invoice says $336.00 for the
faucet installation and $146.00 for the shutoff valve installation. Was
this fair or did a senior get taken taken to the proverbial cleaners?

Hard to say sitting here. What is the faucet worth? They range from $25 to
$500. Could have been a $326 faucet with only 10 bucks to install.

What, if any, problems did he run into shutting off the water to install the
shutoffs? How bad was the old faucet corroded so it would not come off?

Typical plumber charges run $60 to $90 an hour

We've been doing extensive remodeling at work, including a new bathroom, new
fixtures in another, etc. A small drain leak started in the old plumbing.
Simple sweat joint, you'd think, but it ended up being 4 hours labor to
remove and re-do the job. Old work can be a real bitch to work with. So,
may answer to your question is a strong maybe, maybe not.
