Description of Work: Repaired a leak. Came out on a Sunday, which made it extra expensive. Small leak in the hose by the water meter. Replaced that pipe with a new plastic looking one, checked our water pressure, and left. Nice guys, but really expensive, we were just fed up with the leak and wanted it fixed.

Response from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing
We actually use Straight Forward Pricing, also known as flat rate pricing, so no matter when you call us out the price for the work never changes. What added to your cost was the after hours emergency fee, which is different from our standard service fee (which we can usually waive with work done). I checked the recording of your initial call in, and you were told about the amount of the fee up front, and were also offered to come out the next day with no, or a lower service fee, but you chose this option. Please call us on the next issue you have and set a standard appointment, and we will ensure you do not have any additional fee to pay. It is also important to remember that you have the best warranty in the Metroplex!

Description of Work: I had three items - replacing garbage disposal, toilet flush, and replacing washers on valves. After learning that each of the last two items would each cost $400+ to "rework", the exact same cost as replacing the garbage disposal. I opted to replace the disposal, but cancelled the other two repairs. I have since found out this firm pays the employee for each additional service that he/she "sells" the customer. I thought it was odd that each service cost the exact same, but now understand why the plumber looked disappointed. I'm sure they do good work but I cannot afford over $400 to replace washers and "rework" a toilet that at most required a new flushing unit in the tank.

Response from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing
I looked through the notes from your call and I have to admit to being confused. You received a new garbage disposal with a 5 year parts and labor warranty for $229, which is an outstanding price. There are not a lot of companies that have a 5 year labor warranty included-that means for the next 5 years there is no charge for us to come out and make a repair should something go wrong...awesome peace of mind! As for the other repairs, you were quoted the same price to rebuild a 2 handle shower valve, and to perform a minor rebuild on a commode because they are listed as the same Level of Service in our Straight Forward Pricing Guide, otherwise known as flat rate pricing. Flat rate pricing works great for the customer because the speed (fast or slow) of the plumber doesn't cost you money, and if we do not have the parts on the truck, and have to go pick them up, it does not cost you any more money because the complete price was presented to you before any work was started-upfront and in writing. I hope you will call around and see what a great deal on the disposal you received, and that you completely understand flat rate pricing. I wish we had done a better job presenting that to you, and we will do better for you the next time you call. Thank you for your feedback!

Description of Work: Replaced commode flange, waxing and bolts. I was surprised at the cost, however, there is a 2-year warranty. Also, Ben Franklin has a set rate for various services rather than a per hour fee. The plumber did an excellent job. It's been a long time since I've needed a plumber, so I have no idea if the price was in line or excessive.

Description of Work: Decided to get two other quotes, both came in between $1200-$1500 for exact same service. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing was going to charge $3600. Other two companies commented that was "highway robbery".
Rating CategoryRating out of 5

Response from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing
We sent a fully trained and licensed plumber to your home for a free/no cost estimate. After a thorough exam he gave you a straightforward price in writing. The quote included a 20 year warranty on parts and labor. That is one of the best and longest warranties in the area, and I would hope that you got the same from another company. Warranties are valuable things when needed, but they do increase the price. I hope you had the work professionally done, and that they gave you a 20 year parts and labor warranty...if not, it wouldn't be a fair comparison. We are competitive with every local plumber of similar caliber. I am sorry you feel this way, but if you will call us if needed in the future, I am sure we can shine for you!

Response from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing
Actually we rebuilt one of your faucets with a 2 year parts & labor warranty, provided and installed a brand new tub faucet with 2 year parts & labor warranty (manufacturers warranty is still in effect-ours is above & beyond), and descaled your tankless water heater, not flushed it. Descaling is recommended by the manufacturer every other year, and yours had not been done for some time past that. We have also found that a lot of customers do not fully understand the Angie's List coupon. What you get is $200 worth of plumbing for $89, and that means that no matter what the bill is we will subtract $200 from it, in effect saving you $111. It DOES NOT mean that we will do all the work listed above for $200. I am sorry for the misunderstanding caused by the coupon. The next time you call us we will waive any service fee, and make sure you are taken care of.

Description of Work: Ben Franklin plumbing came out to my house to look at an issue with water running down to the ground floor when the upstairs shower was run or toilet flushed. We thought it was a broken pipe, but they found that the cause was actually a backed up pipe. They did everything they could to clear the pipe and reset the toilet. While they were there, I also had them fix some leaky faucet handles. The guys were very professional, honest, and cleaned up all of their mess before leaving. We were very pleased! Only negative is that their work seems a little pricey, but I'm willing to pay if I am comfortable with the service I am receiving.

Description of Work: They gave an estimate from a Big Deal purchase for plumbing. I ended up getting a refund for the service because of the bait and switch. The experience was very bad. It was a bait and switch. I had emailed in detail what needed to be done to Benjamin Franklin and they tried to charge a large price for that work which made the experience doubly bad.
Rating CategoryRating out of 5

Response from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing
The coupon you purchased from Angie's List was for $200 worth of plumbing for $99. That means, no matter what the total for the work done was, we would take $200 off that price. Since the coupon cost you $99, you would have saved $101. It does NOT mean that all of the work you required would be done for $200, as you told our tech you thought it should. I am sorry you misunderstood the coupon, but I am glad you were reimbursed for the cost of it. If you will call us in the future for your next plumbing need, I will waive the service fee, and make sure we get you taken care of.

I am not sure why you would place a review here when we have done no work for you. We DO NOT service your area (another Ben does). We are all Ben Franklin Plumbing, but are all individually owned franchises. We have done no work for you, or been contacted by you to do work, as we do not service your area. We would expect Angie's List to remove reviews such as this.

Description of Work: Companys policy is "not responsible for damage to sprinkler systems." MY CONTROL WIRING WAS CUT. After insisting on repair the employee reattached the wiring. Five of six zones worked. I hired a irrigation service to be sure all zones worked.. The fill dirt was left mounded on top of my grass. This process took several days in which some landscaping in the bad zone died.

Response from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing
The customer signed a work authorization which stated that "We are not responsible for any underground lines that are not located by DigTess." The customer was fully aware that sprinkler lines may get cut when trenching the line. We did try to repair the sprinkler line even though that is not something we usually do. The fill dirt was left mounded on the grass because we had to wait for the city to inspect the work done. Because the work was done a Friday we had to wait until Monday for the city to come out. Once the city inspected the line installation, we went to the customer’s house and backfilled the trench the same day. We understand the customer’s concern and now have implemented an option for customer’s to get their sprinkler lines located for an additional cost so that this issue will not happen in the future.

Great service, uses quality parts.
Description of Work: We had a new home built January 2011 and the contract plumbers used a defective outside spigot which had a slow drip since installation. They would not inspect, repair or replace (Powers Plumbing, Ft. Worth, (Aledo) TX. We tried several solutions including adding a washer where there should have been one but wasn't! Nothing worked until we called Benjamin Franklin. Larry was very punctual, professional and knowledgeable. He explained the problem, showing me the inside fittings, replaced the defective cheaply made spigot in less than 30 minutes. Great job.....left the area neat and clean, even put on plastic booties to come into the house with the bill. Highly recommend "Ben Franklin Plumbing" and advise to stay away from "Powers Plumbing" who not only installed defective cheap spigots (we purchased all other plumbing fixtures oursevles) but left one of our bath floors covered with sunflower seeds they chewed on while working plu we had to call them back 3 times to correct installations.
