Anthony was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and careful when working so as to not make a mess. He made sure we were happy with his work before leaving. We will definitely request him again if we have any further issues
Fast and friendly service. Victor was easy to work with. He was professional and honest. He came on a Saturday which was appreciated. 10 out of would definitely recommend!
We scheduled an appointment online on the Friday after Thanksgiving and received a call back right away. The representative explained the cost for a last‑minute Friday visit, but we decided to book for Monday instead. She also provided suggestions in the meantime concerning the leak. On Monday, the team arrived during the timeframe discussed with my husband which was around 10am, inspected the house, and explained their plan before starting the work. They replaced all of our copper pipes and had everything completed by 5 p.m. Before leaving, they carefully inspected their work, checked all the water lines, and made sure everything was functioning. The communication was clear, the work was thorough, and the professionalism great. Overall, we’re very satisfied with the service and would recommend them to anyone needing plumbing work done.
Great job from Steve. He is very professional. Came out on a Saturday to install our kitchen faucet that suddenly fell apart. Thanks For the quality service
Great company and service!!!!. We started having trouble with our hot water- we inherited this tankless water heater- and it took some time for us to diagnose the problem. However, once we got in touch with Benjamin Franklin plumbing, they were phenomenal. Great communication, super quick response time, And they come service on the weekends! Brock was professional, kind and super helpful! He diagnosed the problem and ran through several options, before helping us navigate and make a plan. Matt was also great, he was professional, communicative, friendly and efficient. Both gentlemen resolved what could have been a much bigger problem with ease and efficiency. 10/10 would recommend to anyone
Thank you, for coming on out and helping me with this issue. I have been having issues with my property management on handling this and it has created some problems with my COPD. U came out same day and started to get the job done one that same day. I truly am grateful and will recommend you to everyone I know with any plumbing issues One happy customer
Ben Franklin were professional, efficient and fantastic! DJ called to explain everything before starting the work. They made signing the work agreement easy and it was a breeze doing business with them. DJ for the work win!!! A+
Overall I think Matt and Daunte did a great job. They were friendly and got everything setup in quick order. My only complaint was about the price of the job. They informed of the price when they were here and were upfront about it but I do think the company over charges for the a fairly simple project. Which is not the employees fault.
I cannot say enough positive things about Chris Austin resolving our plumbing issue of low water pressure in our townhouse. He arrived on time, quickly identified the problem part, explained what needed to be done, accomplished the task, and problem solved. It was like pressing the easy button, and I will definitely be calling again for any future plumbing issues. Thank you Chris and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Raleigh for fair pricing and excellent service!
Five stars for Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. Their team provided prompt, reliable service, and the heating repair was completed with exceptional professionalism. I am highly satisfied and would confidently recommend their services👍
