Cost for boiler service call?

Hello Friends,

I recently bough a property in a suburb of Cleveland (Wickliffe) and we had to replace 3 radiator valves on the second floor since they were malfunctioning and there was no heat. It has a Gas bolier 95K btu around 12 years old. It is fine but the problem was found with the radiator valves.

I was charged 330 (110 *3) for the parts and 270 for the labor that included initial investigation and then the actual repairs next day. Is the cost of $600 reasonable for this work? My agreement includes no cost to owner for service calls or markups.

I think the labor looks ok but the parts (valves) seems too costly. I am getting in more details, but on the face of it, does this breakup look reasonable to you?

Also if anyone has any local handyman / contractor recommendations for properties in Cleveland, would appreciate.

Thanks

Sameer
