Can anyone tell me around how much I can expect to cost me to have a plumber
come and install a water line from under my sink to my fridge? The pipes are
all copper and I'm pretty sure he will have to cut the cold to put in a tap
for the line that will run to the fridge.

I know it will vary but I'd like to know what to expect (ballpark).

Thanks in advance.

He will very likely put in a self-piercing "saddle valve"
which requires no soldering.

To avoid floods later on, insist that he run 1/4" copper tube,
not plastic.

If you're the least bit handy, it's a DIY job.

How much for a tradesperson? $50 to $100 to drive up.
That much more for labor.
Maybe someone will do it for a $20 bill?

You probably won't get a plumber to drive to your house for less than $100,
plus some parts and a half hour labor. It is not a difficult job so a
"handyman" type of guy can do it for about half the cost of a plumber.

The real trick here is routing the line from sink cabinet to fridge. If it
is a long way and other cabinets, it may be a real PITA. If the fridge is
over a basement with open ceiling, that may be a simpler route to take.

Simply turn on your faucet and you get water.
