Scheduling my appointment was easy and I received helpful information on my provider’s arrival time. Kevin was very patient in explaining in detail the services they could provide and what my home could benefit from. He laid out the estimate and costs with no pressure but an honest evaluation of what was needed. Very pleased with my experience!
This was our first time calling. Very professional and knowledgeable. Our Rep, Chris Fontenot, was an absolute pleasure to work with and very thorough. The entire team that came out and played a part in the repairs was very professional and every one was so pleasant. The work was impeccable! Great job Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, you have a new customer!
Mike clearly communicated when he would be arriving, identified the issue and fixed it quickly (and at a lower cost than another plumbing company that quoted us). We are very happy with the experience.
Brandon and Nate where punctual on-time thumbs up 👍. They where friendly and polite. We had an issue with installing a new toilet that was bigger and longer than the original area allowed so we had to modify the floor space near the toilet edge and move it back away from the area to allow for the toilet to fit properly in place. Thank you to the crew for a great job. We reside in a modular home with wood flooring.
Jacob did amazing quality work on our waterline that burst. Very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend his service
We have had the pleasure of having your employee Brad service our home several times now and has always been top notch!! Brad is the epitome of great customer service, he should be leveraged as an example for others! Awesome job Brad, thanks again you rock!!
