What moves the price.
Job type
Service calls and small repairs sit at the bottom; water-heater replacements in the middle; repipes and sewer-line work at the top.
Tank vs. tankless
A tankless conversion costs more up front than a like-for-like tank swap but lasts longer and frees the space.
Pipe material & access
Aging cast-iron drains or polybutylene supply lines push a repair conversation toward a repipe; slab access and wall opening/repair drive labor.
The Marathon factor.
Permits & code
Monroe County enforces the highest wind-design standard in Florida — 180 mph — plus a Rate of Growth Ordinance (ROGO) that meters building permits across the Keys.
