Description of Work: Fixed pluming leak under my kitchen sink and replaced my utility tub in the basement. This included the installation of turn off valve. | |The technicians were polite, professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. the only thing that didn't sit well with me is that they would't or couldn't give me an itemized breakdown between these two jobs including these parts and labor. In fact, he couldn't tell me the exact brand of sink or faucet that would be installed. It makes it difficult to be a smart consumer when the seller cannot tell the buyer how the transaction is broken down. The technician said it is all computerized.

Response from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing
Thank you for your feedback and business. We are glad that you found our plumbers to be so helpful for these projects. Our pricing is indeed by the job and not by the hour. This means that after the plumber initially evaluates the job to be done, he presents an exact price of the work to be done. We do this upfront before any work is started so that everyone knows exactly how much the job will cost. At the end of the day, there are no extra charges, hidden fees, or unexpected prices. We would be willing to discuss this further with you if you desire. Thank you again for your business.

Description of Work: Purchased a deal on AL for an exterior hose replacement. Within a day, I was called to set up an appointment. They accommodated my schedule and even arrived early. Ed, the technician, was awesome. He did great work, left my place better than when he arrived. Highly recommend.

Thank you for sharing this frustration with us. According to my records, we never ran a call at your property. We had one scheduled but we could not get a hold of you so we had to cancel it. Your deal for $200 of plumbing service is still valid if you would like to use it. I am sorry for any confusion, but we would welcome the opportunity to serve you.

Description of Work: They arrived within the appointment time. The plumber did a diagnostic of the issue with the backed up drain in my bath tub. He explained that the issue is a rusted iron pipe which wasn't allowing the water to flow. Then, he gave me the cost to remove the rusted area by running an electric snake through the pipe. I agreed with the cost, and he performed the removal of the blockage. Now my drain is flowing normally with no issues. The fix was relatively quick and the plumber was professional. I would recommend them for your plumbing needs.

Description of Work: I was very unhappy with the service call provided by your company. Ed arrived and never inspected under or behind the washing machine or anything at all. He just gave me an estimate for over 2,000 and even with that said he couldn't do it that day, the job was too big and he told me it would probably take all day. He'd need a crew for this job and they were all busy that day. I didn't get a feeling of confidence from him so I was actually glad he didn't want to do anything that day. I'm sure I would have had a ton of holes in my walls and still no solution. I did call a local plumber and had the job done for $100. I'd like a refund of the $79 I paid for your services as I didn't get professional services to have the repair done. I'd prefer not to deal with this company as no one seems to want to do any work.

Response from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing
Thank you for expressing your concerns with us. I am sorry that your experience with our company left you feeling dissatisfied and wanted to address these concerns. Since a lot of plumbing is often obscured by drywall, it can be difficult to analyze a situation accurately without removing wall or ceiling coverings. In this particular case, the plumber needed to remove part of the drywall to provide the best possible estimate. The homeowner opted to not move forward with this plan so we offered an estimate with the knowledge that it could change. I am happy that you were able to get the problem resolved economically and apologize that we were not able to provide a better estimate upfront.

Response from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I am sorry that you were not pleased with our service and wanted to address the concerns that you have listed. You purchased one of our $79 for $200 of plumbing services big deals on June 16, 2014. This deal is valid for $200 of any type of plumbing service. In reviewing the notes for your situation, you wanted to have 3 toilets replaced with customer supplied units, and there was an issue of water pressure in the master bath. After our plumber arrived and evaluated the jobs to be done, he presented you with the prices to perform this work. You elected to only make the fix for the water pressure issue at that time which was certainly your right to decide. Our plumber performed the work and completed the job. It is our practice to present the price of our work to each customer prior to beginning of any job. This allows you as the customer the ability to know exactly how much the cost will be and the information to make the decision that best suits your needs. If this did not happen on this call, please let us know, but based on the notes from our plumber, it appears that you were presented with the prices for these jobs and made an educated decision. We understand your choice to not proceed with any or all of the work we suggested. I’m sorry if there was any confusion with this call. Thank you for your feedback and if you would like to discuss this job further, we are open to continuing the conversation.
