      I am elderly and need to re-light the pilot on my hot water heater. I had trouble bending down hat low. It took five minutes fir the service guy and he charged $200!!! What a way to s**** your customers! While he was there I asked him to unclog a slow shower drain. He said that running a snake down the drain would cost $300. I am not making this up ! These are the highest most ridiculous prices for such simple work that I have ever seen or can remember. I encourage everyone in ***** to avoid these gangsters.

      Warning! Warning!Deceptive and unethical practices ahead!Plumber came out to replace 2 water supply valves for a washing machine that were leaking, and that were corroded, and I could not remove myself for fear of snapping them off and on a Sunday that would not have gone over well. ******* showed up on time as promised, and I am thankful for that, note the one star. Explained over the phone to me he might have to cut wall, cut water supply line and replace valves $600. Instead, I got two wrenches, some twisting and 2 -$16 valves, which were not any different than the 2 new ones I had on hand that he told me he couldn't use. The whole job maybe an hour, ************************ the truck, . *******************************************************************. Watch video of what was done and judge for yourself. Then I tried to avoid posting this by contacting the only point of contact I had via texting just to see if there was any wiggle, and there's not. Actually no one can help at all, once you agreed to the price, apparently you have sold your soul. This is what happens when you live in an area where the jobs are plentiful and ads on WBAP are expensive. Yes, I called them. Yes, I agreed to the price which again sounded like it was going to be more labor intensive and involve more, or at least different parts. But I know all people / companies make mistakes and I judge on how you address these mistakes. Honestly $25-$50 bucks would have been all it taken. So, whoever is reading this for BFP if you can say without a doubt what you seen in the video and know that's exactly what was done seems fair, then I guess we are done.I will try to find a plumbing board of ethics if there is one or reach out to corporate entity if there is one.

      NOT recommended, 3x overprice charge. Got estimate for Aquasana Whole House water conditioner and filter install. the technician came and take picture of the setup and send back to office for estimate. they charge $79 or trip fee and another $80 for Minor Diagnostic fee. and they quoted $2659 for just the installation fee. before them I got quote from Aquasana Authorized installer, quoted for $800 and no charge for estimate. then I get another free estimate from another Aquasana Authorized installer for $600. so out of the 3 quote, Benjamin Frankling charge $160 for just come out and give estimate and their estimate is 3x-4x more then the other estimate. Look like they dont know what it take to install the simple system so they quote for 3x higher. either way is win-win for them. with or without service they still got paid $160 for come out and take couple picture. Stay away from them as far as you can.
