"We had a previous good experience with Ben Franklin Plumbing that encouraged us to try again, but it took 3 visits from 2 plumbers to get it done. We wanted to get a water line installed to our fridge in the kitchen, as well as a quote on fixing a leaky kitchen sink. The first guy that came out insisted he had to see the rest of the house (manager said this is normal, but he's the only of 3 techs we had that did this). He insisted on quotes for a water heater and softener (neither of which we wanted, and we told him this). After 30 minutes of all of that, he got to the quotes. The tech was Jamaiican, and very hard to understand. He quoted both jobs around $900, and had trouble when I wanted a break down of each job, as I really only needed the water line. He kept pushing their "plan", but wouldn't tell me what the cost was (found out later it's $8/month), just that I'd save 15% that day. I finally told him just to leave, because he clearly was more interested in selling then helping us. After a bad review, the manager called and wanted to send someone else out. He confirmed that just the ice maker would be $512 total (including the $69 fee to come out that we'd already paid). He agreed to not charge another fee to come out, and to send someone else out. Kyle came out the next day. He was very nice and knowledgable. He said that the job would have been over $1000, and that it was going to be exspenive. Nobody told him we had already been quoted. He reviewed and said the quote that both the first tech and the manager agreed to was completely wrong. He honored it, but said that it was half the cost it should have been. He did the work, and all seemed good. However, when he pushed the fridge back, the breaker kept tripping. We figured it was a faulty breaker, not his fault, and sent him on his way. When we reviewed later, we found that he had actually pushed the fridge on the stainless steel water pipe, to the point where it was jammed and up against the fridge, causing it to short out and trip our breakers. Had we not caught this ourselves, it would have cost us for an electrician. On top of the fact that he could have shorted out our brand new fridge. We then found out he connected the water line to the hot water, not the cold. He had to come back out another day, and admitted he didn't check them, just assumed that the house was set up like most are. Ultimately, we got what we wanted done for a fair price (we had a quote from another place, Ben Franklin seemed to be more expensive if they had quoted correctly). But it took a span of 3-4 days, 3 visits, and a lot of stress and phone calls trying to handle this."
