Water heater on-truck inventory enables same-visit replacement: David quoted $450 below competition and installed immediately (rGBQ0pOyJydsZSkoq8sM); tankless water heater and dishwasher install completed in one visit (wpP9oKppVYYLTETPhSOF).

“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.”
“Bought a Dishwasher from Best Buy and their installers could not install due to the valves under our sink. Called Benjamin Franklin Plumbing... Joseph Lopez our technician was fantastic. Came in looked at everything we needed done and worked up a price. Everything went great. From start to finish he was very professional right down to cleaning the workspace when done.”

“Had a plumbing emergency under my kitchen sink involving an under sink water heater. I'd used Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in the past and called same. I specifically asked for their tech Leroy Staggers as he'd been to my home years ago. He responded and went over my issue, quoted me a price and replaced same with a new heater he had on his truck.”

“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 …”
