Getting a plumber, or any type of contractor, to actually show up at your house for a small job, is next to impossible these days. I called Ben, and he was very receptive to squeezing us in for a minor plumbing issue.
When Ben showed up (on time, I might add) he said, "I tell ya' what- I'm going to show you how to do this yourself, so you can save some money." He gave me a brief tutorial, called his plumbing supplier, and ordered the part for me, and said to call him if I had any issues.
A few hours later, I picked up the part, and after about 20 minutes of amateur plumbing, the issue was completely resolved. We paid Ben $95 for his trip out to our house, and for the tutorial. This probably saved us about $200 from what other plumbers would've charged.
Ben, of Ben's Plumbing, is a class act, and he is definitely who I'll call with any future plumbing concerns. read more
