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.

Not as hard to say as you think. Reread the OP's post. "I bought the
faucet online and Mom called a plumbing company to install it."
