    Great service, no problems. Seemed pricey but on par with other estimates.

    They did a neat install of a hot water heater at a rental property. The job looked professional and they seemed to use quality parts.

    I called them and they were able to give me an appointment the very next morning. they came on time and the service was really good. The only thing I didn't like is the way the plumber explained things to me and tried to recommend unnecessary supplemental services/replacements. I have to emphasize that he was very nice and did a great job fixing my water heater. I was just disappointed in him recommending replacing my 4 year old water heater with a new one from them instead of replacing one part. I chose replacing the part. I understand it's business, but it's not the kind of business I prefer. I prefer someone who will fix simple problems with simple solutions(cheaper) and fix major problems with major solutions(more expensive). Instead of trying to scare me into making major unnecessary repairs

    Response from Company:

    Thank you for your review. We appreciate your business. The technician was only offering the replacement tank because the average water heater lasts about 7 years. Sometimes customers prefer to put the repair cost toward a new heater rather than repairing one that may not have much life left. We instruct our technicians to give the customers options and let the customer choose what is best for them. Thanks again, Kevin

    Other plumbers told us they couldn't fix our issue or didn't show up for appointments. Ben Franklin responded to an email question at night within an hour or two and called me as promised the next morning. They were willing to help me set up an appointment which worked with my schedule and fixed a problem others told us we needed a welder for (frozen main supply line into the house). They were upfront with pricing and the process and very professional and hard working. After 4 days in the middle of winter without water, they fixed our problem for what I consider a reasonable price. I would highly recommend them.

    They did a great job. Came when promised, did an excellent job and clean up afterwards. Would highly recommend.

    Very helpful. Came out and made recommendations to keep the cost down and then came back same day to do the job.

    Serviceman was prompt, efficient, and pleasant. He also did neat work.

    The price is per project, not per hour. I had a few items on my list I opted to delay due to this fact. But the work I had done was well worth the price and piece of mind of having the repair done a little more than 24 hours after I posted my request. This company also charges the same on weekends as weekdays.

    I had an issue with roots causing poor drainage and back up when I ran water in my house. I called in the late afternoon and they sent a plumber out first thing next morning. The plumber arrived right on time and was very nice and personable. He started work immediately after giving me a quote. The work was completed quickly and cleanly. Overall I was very happy with my experience and would call them again if any other issues arise.

    Seal of Approval

    What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

    1. Verify Trade License
      HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
    2. Verify Insurance
      As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
    3. Verification of State Business Filings
      For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
    4. Criminal Records Search
      HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
    5. Sex Offender Search
      We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
    6. Bankruptcy Search
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
    7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
    8. Liens Search
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
    9. Identity Verification (SSN)
      HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
    10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
      We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
