Caleb Hines at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing saved the day when my shower would not turn off as a result of a broken handle. The company was quick to respond. Mr Hines was the first to arrive among the three companies I called. He explained the problem and the fix clearly and completed the job satisfactorily! Many thanks for the quick response in an emergency situation!

Luke Mbongo

Had to reschedule service due to a scheduling conflict and I’m glad we did! Ryan is a true professional. He gave us some pointers on upkeep in between service and he’s very good with kids. My son was super interested and he took the time to show him the ropes haha. Here’s to hoping we don’t need to see him anytime soon, but if we do need plumbing services, he’s no doubt the one we’ll ask for!

Paul M

Boiler short circuited, freezing cold on NY’s Eve,!! BF responded quickly and professionally as always with one of their best: Michael Z. He immediately saw the issue, he couldn’t fix it without ordering parts, so he stayed, did research, phone calls, and was eventually able to give me several options on repairs. Thank you Michael on being pleasant, professional, and always helpful!!

Anthony Griggs

Very thorough with the diagnosis. Gave clear and precise next steps. Was able to check and recheck that problem had been fixed. Very satisfied with them. Will use again, hopefully same guy(Johnny)
