John was on time, curtious and listened to my concerns about a few minor issues with our plumbing. He throughly checked the entire home, and discovered where a tub faucet was leaking, which he repaired. Having a yearly inspection done is worth the time. Thanks for helping to keep our plumbing working properly.

We love Benjamin Franklin Plumbing and have been using them for over a year now. We request Quentin every time we have a plumbing issue. He’s honest, trustworthy, and professional. He always goes above and beyond and does the job in a timely manner. He’s also very sweet and patient with my two little ones who watch and ask a lot of questions.
