Benjamin Franklin Plumbing review: $1200 quote to switch out a $100 disposal is highway robbery! avoid
benjamin plumbing came to my tempe, az home to give me a quote on switching out my badger ,1 1/4 hp kitchen garbage disposal. He said 1 1/4 is not necessary for a house & he uses 1/3hp, badger (same brand) . These sell for around $100-125.00 at home depot or leows. The quote was an astounding $1200! i asked how long it takes to switch out the old one, he says about 30 minutes! because my "bracket" was still good. I was shocked, 2 other plumbers came and i got estimates of from a low of $400-$625 highest. Never was there any discussion about having me buy the unit and he would just install it for a lower price. I asked him if people really fall for that price of $1200 (!) for this install and he said " oh yes! i am on my way to mesa after this to install one" then he said "that's why we have over 5000 positive reviews! " i never saw evidence of this btw. This is exactly what happened! this company texted me and recited an entirely different story about what happened. I never would be writing this review, except for the fact that the company tried to lie to me about what took place when they visited my house 11/01/26. I have no reason to lie. This was my experience.
Recommendation: TRY ANOTHER PLUMBER. MOST WILL DO THIS FOR APPROX $400-$500. OR DO IT YOURSELF ITS EASY .YOUTUBE VIDOES ARE GREAT!
