I had tried installing a new tub faucet and couldn’t get the damn thing to stop leaking - Rick had it connected, sealed, and flush to the tub surround in under an hour. 100% A+ experience start to finish - I’ll definitely use them again
Rick & Karus did a great job. They fit me into schedule very promptly. They kept me posted on time of arrival. Finished job in less time than quoted. I would recommend them to everyone

Benjamin Franklin was easy and quick to work with. Quick and responsive with communication. They were able to schedule me in right away the following day. Karus was great, easy and cool to talk to.
Nhia, thank you for taking the time to share this. Glad we could get you on the schedule the very next day, and glad to hear Karus made the whole visit easy and straightforward, we’ll pass that along to him. Fair pricing and clear communication are things we take pride in, so it means a lot to hear they came through for you.
Fast service, knowledgeable
Hi, thank you for the great review and for choosing us. We’re glad our crew provided quick, helpful service and kept you informed throughout the process. Happy to serve again.
I had an outstanding experience with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing today. They came out to fix a completely flooded bathtub that wouldn’t drain and replaced a faulty valve, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. Rick and Karus were absolutely fantastic. From the moment they arrived, they were friendly, polite, respectful, and incredibly professional. They took the time to clearly explain what was causing the problem, how they diagnosed it, and exactly what needed to be done to fix it. Everything was transparent, easy to understand, and I never felt pressured or left with unanswered questions. What really stood out was how helpful they were. They didn’t just fix the problem—they also gave me practical tips on what to watch for in the future and explained how to handle the valve if I ever encountered a similar issue again. That extra level of care and education was greatly appreciated. I had already spoken with several other plumbers before calling Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, and I received either vague, inconclusive answers or outrageously expensive estimates. Rick and Karus were honest, decisive, and offered a very fair and reasonable price for the work. It was refreshing to deal with people who were knowledgeable, straightforward, and genuinely wanted to help. They worked quickly without cutting corners, made sure everything was functioning perfectly before leaving, cleaned up after themselves, and took the time to ensure I was completely satisfied with the repair. Beyond the excellent workmanship, they had that genuine local, neighborly feel that made the whole experience even better. It’s rare to find a company that combines professionalism, honesty, fair pricing, and outstanding customer service so well. I will absolutely be calling Benjamin Franklin Plumbing again for any future plumbing needs, and I highly recommend asking for Rick and Karus. They truly exceeded my expectations. Thank you for an excellent experience!

I’m a first time home owner and I sincerely appreciated the transparency and honesty of their pricing; they did great work for a very reasonable and fair price (that was significantly lower than another quote I had received for the same job). I can’t recommend this business highly enough!
