The backhoe contractor and plumber arrived on time the next morning and began their work. I observed them throughout the day and saw that they were doing everything that they could do to keep my property from being destroyed and to do the work in the least amount of time. The work was completed before the end of the day I asked the plumber to replace one water hydrant and to add another to the back of the house. He scheduled me for the following Monday and the Plumber again showed up on time and completed the work in a short amount of time. I had not asked for an estimate on this work and when the bill arrived there was a complete list of material individually priced along with the hourly labor cost., All of the work was done in a professional manor at a reasonable price. This is the 2nd time I have used this company this year. Benbow will be my first contact should i need other work done in the future.
Description of Work: My water service from the city shut off valve to the house so badley that the water had to be shut off. I was out of the country at the time this happened and came home just to have this repair taken care of. I called Benbow's office the morning after my arrival and a representative was at my home within the hour. While he was here he called to have the utilities marked and promised me that he would schedule the work as soon as possible. He called me on his cell phone on his way back to the office and told me that I was scheduled for eight o clock the next morning.

The whole experience was very pleasant and professional. I placed a second call to the company regarding a general quote for a new HVAC system and had more than an hour conversation with Mr. Benbow regarding new units, energy efficiency, and how to more environmentally seal my home. I would highly recommend them for any Heating/AC or Plumbing services. Not only was the service quick, but the price was very reasonable. They also sent a bill as opposed to requiring payment at the time of service.
Description of Work: I called for an estimate and was quickly informed of the price. After that, I scheduled a routine winter maintenance check. Upon his arrival, the service technician introduced himself and explained what he would be doing. In addition, he asked if I had any questions or concerns about my furnace. I explained to him the concerning noise that caused me to call for service in the first place. He then dismantled the furnace and showed me what caused the noise and explained the inner workings of the furnace to me. That was greatly appreciated. In addition to cleaning the furnace blower and burners, they replaced the filter on our whole-house air purifier. This was unexpected and not requested, but very appreciated.

Benbow is always my plumber/heating and AC/mechanical contractor of choice. They are always available by phone, they are punctual, they get the job done right, and as a repeat customer I get a discount. And they bill (after the first service) so I can pay along with my regular monthly bills. Excellent family-owned local company. In business in Galesburg since 1932. They have helped me deal with several cranky low-flow toilets, and when my furnace seemed to mysteriously stop heating last winter, they were able to find the problem easily and install the correct inflow and outflow pipes quickly and reasonably on the exterior of my house. They also gave me what i think is a very reasonable estimate to have central AC installed. Will use them whenever I need plumbing, heating and/or AC services.
Description of Work: Corrected faulty air intakes/outflow on furnace, unclogged low-flow toilets over the past 2 years. .
