It’s not solely the expense but also the pain in the ass of getting tradespeople out to provide service for moderate sized or smaller projects. There aren’t enough skilled tradespeople to service the needs in a highly competitive way. So, if you have money to throw around on a large bill, you can get projects done, but being on a budget makes for a difficult prioritization result for projects.

I also heard (from a fairly credible source) that most plumbers in the area simply won't touch units in a particular large old condo building here, because it's just not worth the headache or liability of dealing with the building condition and quirks. It sounded like the reason wasn't just the usual skilled trades preferences for kinds of work (e.g., new construction), but rather, yet another unpleasant surprise of old rotting apartment buildings.
