Houston, TX: Plumbing services are predatory now?

I just need an outside leaky faucet replaced.

Called 8 places, and they didn’t want any part of it.

Whatever.

Called one guy, and there was a fee to come out.

Ok.

Guy gets there and says it’s 500.

It’s not emplaced in a wall but a standalone faucet that I couldn’t do myself because it is really stuck on there.

No.

I called a couple of others, and they wanted 300.

A bit more reasonable, but damn.

Heaven forbid I need any major plumbing emergencies.

Is this the new normal?
