Thanks for your request. My piano tuning/service appointments are scheduled for up to 2 full hours in your home and I charge $250 - This allows me time to tune the piano twice for best stability and/or fix some small problems/repairs or make adjustments to the action, pedals, etc. as needed. If more time is needed, all work is based on $150- for the first hour and $125- for subsequent hours.
Please note that I do NOT charge extra for pitch raising or pitch correction. IT IS INCLUDED IN MY PRICE. Many tuners have an additional charge of $100 or more on top of their basic tuning cost to bring your piano up to pitch.
Also note that I do not charge for travel time even though I travel throughout the San Francisco and Monterey Bay Area. I do like to schedule up to 3 clients in a geographic area and are typically booked about 2-4 weeks in advance so please be patient and help me plan ahead.
Thanks again,
Jeffrey Potter

My associate/apprentice, Robin Whitehouse has been working with me for 8 years and at this point I consider us equal as piano technicians. You get the same full 2 hour service - This is the better option for pianos that you want to have sound much better but might have not been tuned for a few years. We may prefer to choose which of us comes out, depending on circumstances.
Robin's Update:
Robin has moved to Maryland with his fiancé to be close to her family. For existing clients, he has been returning periodically to continue servicing their pianos.
