Description of Work: Replaced water heater. It went quickly and it was done very well. The first person who arrived called the company for assistance to remove the broken heater. The second person arrived within a very reasonable amount of time, broken heater out and new one installed. Excellent work.

I called the plumber (he had talked with my 79 year-old husband) and was told that the pipes are corroded and need to be replaced. I was offered a new toilet if I took the $20,000 option. The plumber did not seem interested in fixing my toilet problem. Instead I called another plumber. He used a toilet auger and cleared the clog in less than 10 minutes. The charge was $80. I called Benjamin Franklin and asked for a refund. The refund was granted.
Description of Work: Used a toilet auger, but did not clear toilet. Recommended replacing all sewer and water pipes under our house for between $15,000 and $20,000 depending on extent of work. Charged $99.00 but did not solve problem. Said next step would be $269 but no guarantee the toilet would be cleared.

Description of Work: Needed a failing toilet replaced. BF Plumbers arrived within their stated window, checked the toilet, said it definitely needed replacement, suggested their "basic replacement" model, which was all I needed, gave me a final package price, went to the supply store, bought the toilet, and installed it--including some custom work on the connecting pipes which were old and crowded the new toilet, and stuck to their originally stated price. Very satisfied.

They were clean and professional, but I do not support their business model, and their bid was 30% over the next lower bid.
Description of Work: They came in to bid on my water heater replacement and tried to up-sell me on their "club" for a discount on their already high estimate.

They are really good. They are very good at monitoring my stuff. I had to join a club but they are right there. They did an excellent job. They were very on time. I've also called them on a Sunday for plumbing problems and there were no extra charges. They are excellent. My furnace was shot and they got me rebates and worked things out. They honored a coupon that I found online and it wasn't even for that. It was supposed to be for refrigeration which I don't have but they honored it anyway. They were excellent. I just had the inspection done yesterday on the furnace and there was only one little thing they have to fix. They were very on top of it. I called them today and they will be in tomorrow with all the tools to do it. The plumber actually gave me some personal tips about what I could have done differently and how I could fix it next time myself. They didn't charge me because it was Christmas or something. They are good and at the same time, they are on time and effective. I didn't do comparison shopping.
Description of Work: I used Benjamin Franklin to replace my furnace and they also did plumbing. They have a group of companies that do plumbing, heating and air conditioning and electrical work.

Plumber was on time, polite, very helpful in explaining what the problem was and what he could do as well as what he recommended. He called the office and asked them to determine when they had installed the shower diverter and then told me it was still under warranty and the repairs would be without charge. The plumber was very neat and wore his booties every time he came into the house.
Description of Work: I had two dripping faucets. One was the outside hose-bib and the other was the shower diverter. The old hose bib was replaced, the shower diverter was replaced, but since it was installed less than four years ago, it was under warranty and I did not have to pay for it.
