"Steven was super helpful and kind throughout the whole process. Tim performed incredible handiwork. You wouldn't even know there was ever damage to the wall in the first place. Most importantly though, I felt that I could trust them in my home and with future work 100%. They are honest about their work and their pricing. I would definitely refer them to anyone and will use them in the future if the need/opportunity arises. Thank you all so much for the wonderful, seamless, and kind experience from the bottom of my heart."
"We are staying at an Air Bnb in Prescott. On Saturday the bathroom toilet became clogged and backed up into the shower in the guest bathroom. The owner contacted Ben Franklin Plumbing in Prescott. Andrew Korland plumber came at 8 pm after completing another job. He was professional, courteous and had great attention to detail. Once he assessed the problem , he contacted the owner before beginning the repair process. She approved the work.Andrew immediately began solving the problem running almost 80’ of coil to unclog the drain at the clean out site. We had a working toilet by 9pm. Andrew was calm and explained what he was doing before and during the process. He also provided his contact information afterward in case we had questions or concerns. We are impressed with Andrew’s response time and excellent work ethic."
"This was no small project and this contractor is not typical... a second floor deck around 3 sides of a 6 bedroom house done in a way I could park a car on the deck. Workmanship was 5 star, worked full days, used quality materials and the fit and finish is beyond our expectations. Phil and his crew are AMAZING!! I only have pictures of the two additional projects, one a storage area and the other an eating area built on top of a tree with a 1.5" gap between deck and tree platform to conform to code. Non better to do business with!"
"The installers are very polite, considerate young gentelmen and fast. There is no charge for installation and the experience has always been pleasant."
"Not great. They sub'd out the roof repair, which we didn't know. They repaired our ceiling in the bedroom before we arrived at our new home. Then it leaked again right before we arrived and they sent the same roofer over again and he fixed it again saying the water came in right beside the last spot. The guys from JDS repaired our ceiling again and the skylight in the bathroom. Within a few days it rained and our bedroom ceiling started buckling again and water was dripping everywhere, this time on our furniture since it was delivered and we were now living here. We called right away and demanded that our ceiling be ripped out this time and NOT patched so they could see exactly where the water was coming in. We made the roofer they hired come back and fix it right since it was at the same exact spot and the wood under our tiles was soaked. This time he ripped off the soaked wood and replaced it and put a rubber coating over it and put the tiles back on the right way. Then JDS guys came after the roofer used a hose to test the roof for leaks. The guy from JDS only did part of job then said he didn't know how to finish it so he would have to send someone else. Within a few days another guy showed up. He did his part and said the first guy would be back to finish it. Well, he came back and sprayed the finish on it but did not cover up our new expensive blinds or our new bedding or oak desk, or anything around it like the other guys did the 2nd time they fixed it. After we got up the next morning and were making the bed, we noticed white chunks of stuff on our bedding. That is when we noticed it all over our blinds and other furniture. Needless to say we were pretty upset. I called the office and started to cry, partly because this was the 3rd time we had them out to do this work and because now I felt angry that we paid quite a bit of money for all this work at least twice and we just paid a LOT of money for our new custom made blinds and bedding etc and it was all coated in white paint!! We just retired and worked a long time to afford all this nice stuff. I have to say that John (who owns JDS) is a very up front guy and stands by his work. He was notified and he called the guy who did our job and made him call us and come by immediately. He brought cleaning stuff and cleaned everything to perfection. He said if the white paint spots came back that he would pay out of his own pocket to take the bedding to the cleaners and if it stained he would replace it. He also offered to have our blinds replaced if any marks showed back up on it. I have friends that recommended JDS to us and they have always been pleased. I believe that they are just getting too busy and starting to maybe sub out some work and need to be more careful about who they are hiring, not sure. They did not bill us for the last time they were out after all the problems we had over and over. John does stand behind all his work so in that respect I can say they are very honest. I just wish it hadn't taken three times and all the water damage and hassles to get it done correctly. Had we not arrived at our home when we did, we could have had major damage and mold infestation and great cost. Our deck was rebuilt very nicely with no problems during that job."
"Thank you for getting the job done right! Duke came in and finished a previous job from another company that did a horrible job and was taking a long time to finish. Duke came in and got it done in a day and got it done right! Thanks so much."
"Troubleshooted the water heater, got that working again. Unclogged the sinks and replaced filters. Also, repaired leaking hose bibs. More reasonable priced than most plumbers, quoted via facetime after a walk through was very efficient."
"They came and gave an estimate for March 2021. I was told it would be June before the work would start. Just recently found out that the start date is now scheduled for the end of August. They have my 50% down payment so I am stuck. I can only hope their product and the install go without a hitch. Not a happy camper."
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
Fiberglass tubs last between 10 and 15 years or more if they’re well-maintained. Proper care will help them last as long as possible. However, fiberglass bathtubs are prone to cracking, fading, and scratches over time. Bathtub installation by a plumber is one of the best ways to ensure your tub has the right support to last its full lifespan.
The plumbing industry has standardized the sizes for bathtub drains. They are 1 1/2 inches wide to fit all standard bathtubs from 14 to 26 inches deep. The standard sizing is to ensure that the drain fits into the P trap, a special part of your piping that prevents sewer water from bubbling up into your home (yuck).
Start by gutting the old fixtures and features that need to be removed, such as the tile, vanity, and flooring. You may benefit by removing the toilet, even if you intend to use the same one. Next, install the new shower or tub, followed by the flooring, and then the drywall, which you should then paint. After that, install your new cabinets, vanity, countertop, sink, and faucet, in that order. Replace your light fixture next. Lastly, reconnect the toilet.
There are a few things you can do to keep your bathroom remodel as affordable as possible in your mobile home:
Ask your contractor to replace caulk and grout rather than retiling
Ask your professional to refinish your tub/shower rather than replacing
Upgrade your sink fixtures rather than replacing the sink
Upgrade cabinet hardware and ask your remodeler to refinish the cabinets
Avoid changing the layout of your bathroom
While they’re heavier than their counterparts, cast-iron tubs are very simple to maintain. They have no seams and are durable, making them the easiest tub to maintain. While fiberglass and acrylic tubs are also relatively simple to maintain, they often have seams, making maintenance a little more difficult.
