Best Businesses in Austin, TX

Brad did a great job at replacing a faucet that had broke! I would recommended his services to everyone!

Arrived within minutes of placing my call and replaced a warrantied part on my water heater.
Tech was informative and helpful.
Knowledgeable about quick install of the WH part.
Thank you Proven. You have proven yourselves time and time again.

I called Gilbert because our office disposal was on the fritz and we thought was completely broken.  Gilbert answered my call quickly and was transparent about pricing between us buying our own disposal versus using one that he provides.  I appreciated that he was up-front about that.  He came to our office quickly and checked out the problem-- turns out there was just a rogue piece of plastic in there.  Our disposal was not broken, and he didn't even charge me for the service call, even though he has a busy day ahead.  I really appreciate his service, kindness, and straight-forward business practices.  We'll definitely call Gilbert for any future plumbing needs!

Emilio came to my home for a clogged drain and he was such a pleasure.  He was professional, quick, and detailed.  It was a great experience.  He fixed the clogged sink and changed out the garbage disposal.  I would most definitely recommend Rooter Man for your plumbing needs.  Emilio was a pleasure to have in my home.  Thanks for coming early and being SUPER PROFESSIONAL!!!!

Hey, y'all! Let me quickly set the scene:

We're currently waist-deep into a complete bathroom renovation (so not fun), and the hubby and I got a gorgeous and big, new, two-person tub for the reno! It's been ongoing dust for weeks, and yesterday was FINALLY the day that our contracting team was officially going to finish installing and decking in said tub. Hallelujah!

Alas, at about 7:30pm, they discovered that their plumbing work had a leak that they couldn't fix.
*insert some choice words here*

I quickly took to Yelp in despair and searched for 24/7 Plumbers. Enter Capital City Plumbing.

I got an immediate response from Gabe, the owner, that he could be over in 30 minutes! At freakin' 8pm on a Wednesday, y'all! Talk about awesome sauce!

He and Nick came hurrying over like a pair of plumbing superheroes, immediately assessed the situation, and got straight to work! By 10pm, they had it fixed (thank Baby Jesus that they carry just about every possible plumbing part conceivable in their van), and they even left the bathtub full and waited for 30 more minutes outside in their van, just to be 100% sure that their work was perfect and that the leak was solved!

Well, their work WAS perfect, and the leak WAS, indeed, solved!

I cannot recommend Capital City Plumbing enough! It may seem strange for me to get so worked up about a plumbing company, but, when you need one, you REALLY need one, and they really did knock it out of the park! It's too awesome to now have an official, excellent go-to plumber!

Oh, and please don't let the small number of Yelp reviews chase you away, either! I almost did that, Yelp snob that I am, but I'm so glad that I didn't! It turns out that they're new on Yelp, but they've been in business for 15 plus years! Their experience and professionalism is obvious!

Book them, y'all, and I bloody guarantee that you'll join the rest of us who have unequivocally given them 5 glowy stars!

I would give 6 stars if I could. There's a reason why they have only 5 star reviews after 100+ reviews.

I hired EZ plumbing's services for a leaky shower head. The root cause of the leak turned out to be more complex than what we initially thought. Nick walked me through the issue and provided a recommendation. He was thorough, professional and very friendly. I know who I am going to call for all my future plumbing needs.

Outstanding company and crew - fantastic owners running the company with integrity, honesty and reasonable pricing - hard combination to find these days, but you don't need to look any further.  Give them a chance, I know you will be glad you did.

Dave dealt with replacing our fussy German fixtures which included several communications with the representative from Rohl...which turned out Dave knew more than they did! He replaced 3 sets of #!%$ German (but pretty to look at!) bathroom fixtures and flushed our Rinnai on demand system in a eco-friendly and economical way.
Excellent communication! I don't think you'll find a better person who will tell you what time they will show up, what they are going to do and what it will take to get the job completed. I would call Henderson again and again and again! Thanks Dave!

Abel is a fantastic plumber.  He was very responsive when I had a plumbing emergency and has been my go to plumber ever since.  (Old house, what can I say?)

Braulio came out when he said he would and got my kitchen sink repaired and bathroom toilet.  All is working well again!  I would definitely recommend.  He's a nice and professional plumber!  And he's not far away from my house as I understand it.  We had a nice conversation about how loud the trains are in downtown Buda.

We first met Jaime about 8 years ago when he was hired by our contractor to do the plumbing for a new addition on our central Austin home.  He did all the work for a new master bath, added a tankless water heater and removed old cast iron plumbing from our 1940s home.  Two years later he came back to reroute the plumbing in our guest bath.  He did great work with both jobs and we never had any issues while we lived there.

In 2019, I referred him to a friend who was experiencing a plumbing emergency at his rental.  My friend was super impressed with Jaime's responsiveness and work and was incredibly thankful to have found an honest, trustworthy plumber to help out during an incredibly stressful time.

And in February 2021, we had a pipe break in our new home after the major freeze.  We were panicked that we wouldn't be able to get it fixed timely since it seemed like everyone else in Austin was dealing with the same issue, but Jaime came to the rescue the next day and fixed the busted pipe.

In the 8 years we have called on Jaime, every single experience was top notch. I don't know what I appreciate the most about him: his professionalism, the prompt communication, the excellent work or how wonderfully nice and pleasant he is. The fact that we have been able to call on him to work on every single home we have owned in Austin really speaks volumes about the quality of his business and his work.  Thank you, Jaime, for always being there for us when we need you. You are the best!!!

I called Republic Pipeworks because I needed a new hot water heater. Jim came to my house checked everything out and had it replaced with a brand new one for a GREAT price.  I would recommend Republic Pipeworks to anyone!

Technician was early. Very professional.  Took care of my hot house, and had my A/C running again in 45 minutes.  I had to have a new motor and he had it on his truck and did a superb job.  I was afraid I was facing a huge bill.  It was only $524.  He did warn me that the compressor was very old and that I might want to start saving for a new HVAC system.  I was happy to get the heads up on that.

I'm very confused about my experience today.

The issue is my water heater won't turn on. The water heater is fine, with no leaks and no gas smell; it's the electric control box that won't work. We did make sure our breaker in the house works, and the electricity everywhere else works. Water heaters aren't like phones or computers, and you can't just plug them in somewhere else to test them.

I went to yelp! I had seen the yelp reviews were good; I went to the website and put in a web request. I didn't want the emergency plumbing appointment, and I did not call. But it was early in the morning when I put the web request in.

First positive, I got a great response back in an email. It was cheerful, had great information, gave me a number to call, and said, 'we only do onsite quotes' and 'let's schedule you for a quote. Perfect! This is great!

So I called. I was on hold for a long time. Then a woman answered, and I told her what was going on, I explained I put in a web request, and I got an email response to schedule for it, and I needed the quote and what was wrong with the water heater.

Now, it's very possible, and I'll contend this, that I said that quickly and she didn't understand me. That's why I'm giving this rating 3 stars and not 1 for the situation. This could be my fault for not speaking more carefully initially. Yet, whatever it was, I didn't get any probing questions, or What's your name, ma'am or anything to see if I put in a request.

Her response was, Ummmm, hmmm, let me see if we even do that, I was on hold a long time again. When she returned, she sounded more confused than I felt as I wrote this.

Well, we only go out to the property, and we would have to look at it, and then we would determine if we could even fix it or if it has to be replaced.

I know that. At the beginning of the call, I told her I had gotten the email. I was calling to schedule as the email said. Why is she confused? Why doesn't she know how it works if she works there?

I said, Yeah, I figured that's what you would do.

She says, again sounding completely confused, Well, um, let's schedule you, but um, I have to tell you something to make sure you understand.

Okay.

We can only come out during the emergency hours, so it's going to be more money.

I did explain that I didn't want the emergency hours; that's why I put in the request. She told me they might be able to maybe see me sometime next week.  She did it with the tone of someone about to tell you, no, we can't, the next second. Are they that busy, or is it me?

I don't get it. The reviews are great, the email was great, and the owner looks great, but if the person taking the orders isn't sure how to do an order or how the order works, how do I know it will be booked correctly?

I told her I'd call back, but I'm unsure if I will. I was left confused and unsure after that call. I thought I'd leave this review, at least. Maybe it's a weird day. Anyway, that's my experience.

They responded rapidly, knew what they were doing and did it quickly and efficiently, and, for a reasonable price.

10 years ago someone removed all the gas appliances from our house.  The gas lines had corroded and weren't where we needed them.  The gas company had removed their meter from the house and we needed all new everything to hook up our new Gas Furnace.  We needed new gas lines run in the house.  Most of the plumbers I called wouldn't even return my call or they just weren't willing to do the job.  The few that came out gave me outrageous quotes to run a couple of gas lines under a house with a pier and beam foundation.  Tad with Thunderbird came out and was extremely professional.  We talked about our requirements and he gave me some options that would cut down on the complexity and price of the job.  They got me a proposal that was very reasonable.  They got the job done in a day and we passed the city inspection without an issue.  Today, the gas company installed their meter and we finally have gas service.  I couldn't be happier with the service I got from the folks at Thunderbird Plumbing.

To echo what everyone else has said, Mark is awesome! We spent over $500 with another plumbing company who fixed nothing, broke a filter, and then told us we needed to spend another $1000+ on a flushing system for our hot water heater.
When the hot water completely stopped a month later we called Pure Plumbing. He came 2 days later (not as fast as one without hot water would like, but he had other people to rescue) and said he thought it was the igniter, but couldn't tell until he fixed that. I appreciated his honesty and warning that we COULD need a new unit if this didn't work. Unfortunately it took another 6 days for the part to arrive, but luckily the new igniter worked!!! No more warming bath water on the stove!
He also told us it wouldn't really be worth the $ on the flushing system since the unit is already 10 yrs old. He totally could have sold us on that, but didn't. If only all home repair companies were so honest!! We'll definitely call Pure Plumbing first next time!!

Olvin did an amazing job helping us remodel our 2 bathrooms. The two (Olvin & Hiram) were professional, had great attention to detail, and super responsive to our questions! I can not recommend Fuentes Tile enough, my wife and I have had multiple contractors do sub par work, so we were hesitant to just go with anybody. Olvin made us feel very good about his quality of work, comfortable with the working hours, and continued to keep the remodel clean throughout the progress of the job. We are very happy with the finished product, 100% recommended with 5 stars!!!

Scott did an amazing job with my leaking pipe in my garage. I messaged him at 11pm on Friday night and he responded in real-time and was able to come out the next day. He also helped me with trying to get me maximum coverage with my insurance and even gave me a discount when they didn't cover the repairs. 5/5 would recommend Scott again!

I've never met a plumber, or any repair guy, as good as this guy.  First, he can fix frickin' ANYTHING.  Second, he does it fast, and has the parts with him.  Third, his prices are usually lower than other estimates.  He responds to service requests right away, even if he can't do it (a rarity), and he gives you a one-hour arrival window (not two, not four), and then arrives on time, every time.  The first time he came, he took less than an hour to fix the problem, but since I was paying for an hour, he spent the rest of the time going around the house fixing other little plumbing issues until his time was up.  He's polite and explains what he's doing quickly and clearly, and why you might or might not choose to do some repair.  I've never had a better plumber, I can't recommend him highly enough.
