Experienced and reliable plumber needed

I have a non-urgent plumbing issue at my house. Calling several local plumbing companies I was informed that their hourly rate is between $225 and $254. It was rather shocking  to learn of these rates and, as a result, I am in search of a plumber who would do just as good a job but for much less-one who does not have all the overhead the companies have to deal with. I live in the Oakland-Berkeley area and thank you all in advance for any recommendations you can make to help out this retiree.

We use Val Betti. The plumbers they've sent have done a great job, charged fairly, and returned if necessary. Always reliable and responsive

Our plumber is Sean Collins of Collins plumbing in Berkeley. He works for himself and his wife Rose handles the appointments. He's really good, reliable, honest, experienced, etc., and not as expensive as what you describe. He's pretty busy because he's good, but give them a call. (510) 654-5793‬

Laureano Guevara is my go-to, he is a lovely person and an excellent, trustworthy plumber. I’m not sure if he serves the east bay (I’m in SF) but call and ask! +1 (650) 278-0299

I can believed that is the price! I would like to recommend Sergio Calmo, I had used him frequently.
