Plumber Website Pricing FAQs
Common questions about plumber website costs
How much should I pay for a plumber website?
Plumber website costs vary widely. DIY builders start at $25-45/month but require 20-40 hours of your time and don't include CRM or plumbing-specific features. Freelancers charge $1,500-3,500 upfront plus $50-150/month but don't include automation. Agencies charge $5,000-15,000 upfront plus $200-500/month, with CRM and SEO costing extra. FlashCrafter provides everything (website + CRM + SEO) for $199/month with zero setup fees.

Can I build a plumber website myself for free?
You can start a basic site with free plans on Wix or WordPress.com, but free plans come with provider branding, no custom domain, and minimal SEO. Paid DIY builders run $25-45/month and still require 20-40 hours of setup time. You won't get a CRM, call tracking, or automated follow-ups—features that are critical for turning website visitors into booked plumbing jobs.
What hidden fees should I watch for with plumbing websites?
The most common hidden fees include SSL certificates ($50-200/year), hosting upgrades ($10-100/month), CRM software ($97-497/month), email automation ($20-300/month), booking systems ($30-100/month), SEO tools ($100-500/month), and hourly revision charges ($75-150/hour). These extras can add $20,000+ per year on top of the quoted website price. FlashCrafter includes all of these in its $199/month price.
How fast does a plumbing website pay for itself?
Most plumbing websites pay for themselves within 1-2 service calls. A single drain cleaning ($150-400), water heater repair ($200-600), or water heater replacement ($1,500-4,000) covers months of website costs. Professional plumbing websites generate 10-30 leads per month with a 5-10% conversion rate, meaning 1-3 new customers every month from your online presence alone.
