Best Businesses in Austin, TX

Worked 40 years in sales, I always wondered why a highly reviewed plumber charges less than industrial standard. Now I get it.

We hired 3 different plumbers to install 3 brand new toilets. Our neighbor found all 3 off Yelp for us. Brad has the lowest rating (4.5 out of 5, the other 2 both have 5), but since his hourly rate is also the lowest (about 2/3 of the other 2), we chose him. Turned out his invoice is the most expensive. What an irony. The strategy is to long haul hours and charge high markups on materials. It's not a bad marketing tactic, just not what we like.

After all, 4.5 star is not 5 star. Go with one of the 5 star plumbers and enjoy honesty. Quality wise, all 3 toilets survived the 3 month warranty period.

Cody came out to take a look at our slab leak. He knew his stuff right off the bat! Very efficient, knowledgeable, punctual, very honest. I would no doubt highly recommend Proven Plumbing no doubt! Thank you Cody and Proven Plumbing!

It's not often that someone will recommend his competitors and then go the extra step of checking back with you to make sure you got hold of them and got the help you needed. That's what Gilbert did. I called Blue Dragon first but they were booked solid for the next ten days. Gilbert recommended Armadillo Plumbing and E.T. Plumbing and sent me their contact info. Both were also busy, but Armadillo managed to squeeze us in within a couple of hours. Thank you Gilbert for the referral, Tony was awesome and so are you!

Eddie came out and fixed a very tenacious kitchen drain line clog. On time, efficient and friendly.  Verified all was well post clog removal via auger and jetting with camera inspection all the way to main drain line.

Knowledgeable and nice! They were able to answer all the questions I had and completed my faucet installation without any issues.

I just found myself a new plumber!  These guys are awesome.  They gave me a call to let me know they would be there in 10 min, pretty cool.  They showed up on time, were professional, and honest.  I respect honesty and integrity more than anything!

Great experience! Colin came to fix a broken toilet and was able to do it in a timely manner and has followed up to make sure I haven't had any other problems. Very friendly and professional. I highly recommend for anyone, but especially for folks who feel helpless when it comes to plumbing and need someone reliable to call.

Dave shows up on time as promised and does very professional work. He is not out to nickle and dime you, but out to earn you as a customer. He gives honest advise on whether something can be repaired or needs to be replaced. It was better to replace my old faucets than to try to repair and throw money down the drain. Pun intended! The next time that I have a plumbing issue, I will know who to call.

I contacted Abel through Yelp for help with a leaky kitchen sink. He responded right away and came out the next day. He's a super nice guy and very knowledgeable. I'd definitely recommend him and will use him again!

I highly recommend working with Braulio and Standard Plumbing. I found him through another site where he responded to my project. His quote was slightly higher than the lowest one I received but I had a good gut feeling about working with him. And sure enough I'm glad I did. His care and attention to detail impressed me tremendously. He had to connect a new gas line to a heater and the original plan had been to run a new pipe by the side of the house but he came up with a way to run it through the wall, hiding the pipes. He did a great job putting back the siding where he had to cut in as well. Finally he stayed and helped me make sure the gas heat kicked in and was working. He's a friendly and personable guy and just was a pleasure to work with on the project. I'd hire him for any future project I have to get done.

I woke up to both of my bathrooms flooded and Santana plumbing company squeezed me in and within an hour found and fixed the problem. Prices arent bad, he finished in a timely manner,  and he even gave me info to help in the future. I'm so glad that I called them and they're local. They were great.

Jim at Republic has handled several plumbing repairs and installations around my house.  I always felt as though I was their most important client, every time he came to my house.  Prices were reasonable, work was super.  

He even fixed things that were not strictly necessary to the repair in question, but that the plumber before had done incorrectly.  He asked me first and explained the consequences of leaving it as it was.  I felt like he was doing things the way hewould want them done at his own house.  All this and still at a very fair price.

After using this company for our home and several rental homes for over 10 years for annual maintenance, when our AC stopped cooling they sent a technician that charged us $89 just to tell us that the freon was leaking out. He never went upstairs in the attic to check the AC system to see what was going on there, he just checked the outside unit. He quoted  a $700 charge to come back to locate the leak, which  included another $89 service charge, $270 to use some special equipment to locate the leak, and the labor to check it. This would have been aside from any parts or labor to fix it, and none of that $700 would be applied to the repair and labor to fix it. We had used Stan's to install the AC and heating unit just 4 years ago. A second company charged us a $49 service charge to come out and check, went up and checked the system in the attic and located the leak right away and stated exactly what part was needed  That part is still under  warranty.  We won't be using Stan's to replace it. In fact we won't be using Stan's for anything at all again.

They came out quickly and diagnosed the problem and took the time to give me recommendations on how to control the roots growing in the pipes. They also gave me a quote on having everything dug up and re-piped. They were very knowledgeable and professional.

I've tried A LOT of plumbers in Austin, and by and large, my experiences have not been very positive. Some radically overcharged ($450 to reset a toilet???). Some were tremendously flakey (no show, no call). And some misdiagnosed the problem with my pipes multiple times (wracking up HUGE bills in the process).

Kirk from Plumb and Order is, without a doubt, the best plumber I've worked with, out of the 5-6 that I've tried. Showed up when he said, could schedule me in within a reasonable time frame, replied to messages, fixed the problem (even problems caused by other plumbers), and charged a totally fair rate. Even the woman who does the scheduling was great to work with. From top to bottom, a positive experience.

Seriously, this is the real deal.

Ted came out to assess our nonfunctional water heater. Communication was great. Quick service and explained everything as work progressed. A few hours later and hot water has returned. Highly recommended.

We had a problem with the sewer lift pump and called Mark Reilly.  He promptly responded to look at the situation, formulated a plan of action and carried it out within one working day.  He was professional, well equipped and extremely knowledgeable about the problem and solution.  The price he originally quoted was within a few dollars of the final bill.  If you have plumbing problem he is a master plumber and can take care of you with courtesy and professionally.

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!!!

Broke my spigot on the side of my house. Spot-on was out here quickly and very communicative about prices and the prices to complete the project correctly.

Nick is terrific, reasonable and about the nicest person I've ever met.  He came when he said he would and it was much less than I was expecting.  We will definitely call him again.
