Jackson D. Was awesome, we had a problem with our bathtub/sink pipes, he arrived very quickly (called at 4:45pm on a Saturday and he was at our home by 5:30) and he talked us through everything he was doing. He diagnosed and fixed the problem very fast. Would highly recommend!!! Great service and good price.
Richard was a great plumber—professional, kind, and very knowledgeable. He patiently answered all my questions and quickly fixed the problem. I really appreciated his honesty and the care he took to make sure everything was working properly. Highly recommend Richard if you need a reliable plumber!
This is easily the most professional, reliable, thoughtful, service oriented organization I have worked with in years! I cannot recommend them highly enough. Their staff is consultative without being salesy or pushy, executes on their work, stands behind the quality of what they do and are a joy to work with. Top, top tier experience and would use them before any other plumber in Tucson.
I love Benjamin Franklin plumbing, they are great. And reasonably priced. Sebastian came out today and was amazing, very kind and well educated with his work. He will definitely be my go to guy, from here on out . Thank you Sabastian great job.
Estimate for utility sink removal and replacement did a great job of breaking down the work entailed and the price point for each. Easy to understand. He was on time. Installation went great. There was a small leak detected in one of the parts. Quickly got a new part and fixed at no extra cost. Colin did a great job of all the work requested over the past several days.
I had a great experience with Matthew from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. From the moment he arrived, he was professional, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to clearly explain what was going on, walked me through the options, and made sure I understood everything before starting the work. Matthew was efficient, detail-oriented, and left the workspace clean when he finished. It’s obvious he takes pride in doing the job right the first time. What really stood out was his honesty and transparency — no upselling, no pressure, just straightforward recommendations and quality workmanship. It’s not always easy to find contractors you can trust, but Matthew absolutely earned my confidence. I would highly recommend him and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing to anyone needing reliable, high-quality plumbing work.
Dylan was awesome. Got it all fixed for me and I am very happy. I will definitely be calling again if I have any other problems In the future. Thank you, Dylan!
We have an old tub and plumbing fixtures but he was able to find the replacement cartridges for it (with help from the Benjamin Franklin team) now we have more drips. Also replaced the kitchen sink drain so now it’ll hold water. Aven was very courteous, respectful and answered/ explained what why and how the cartridge functioned. He also told me about the warranty on the parts he replaced also what to be aware of the age of the faucet mechanicals that there might be some issues in the future. I appreciate the honesty of his explanations and his work. Thank you!
Joseph was awesome. He did a fabulous job in getting the sink working again. He worked quickly and was very friendly. I highly recommend Benjamin Franklin for any of your plumbing needs.
I was replacing a 19 year old water heater and made 4 calls to local plumbers for estimates. Two never returned calls with my 2 follow-up calls. One gave me an estimate over the phone and Benjamin Franklin comes to the house to give an estimate. David showed up (very personable and low pressure) gave me an estimate that was $450 less than his competition with a name brand heater. He had the heater and supplies on the truck so he was able to do the job right then. Nice neat and clean work done in about 1-1 1/2 hours. Highly recommend.
