Best Businesses in Austin, TX

Called Brad to fix my toilet. An hour later he was at my door and replaced the broken part in less than 30 minutes. Fantastic service. Only person I'm calling from now on.

Was responsive to my request and was able to come by the next day. I liked that they quoted everything before the work was done but I was charged $25 over the quoted price out of nowhere.

The repairman that came to my home was very friendly and I thought did a good job of explaining things to me.  I was not thrilled that he made a mess of my bathroom.  My bathroom trash can was used as a bucket and left with nasty stuff in it.  There was also significant splatter on my bathroom cabinet doors after the work that was performed.  

Not bad but could improve.

Our previous plumber went down in quality and service drastically, so I had to find a new one. I noticed Blue Dragon had amazing reviews on Yelp and elsewhere, so I called a few months ago for a Shower problem. Gilbert was booked weeks out, so he gave me his best backup plumber's information.

Yes, he gave me a competitor's information! That shows me that he is more concerned about getting my issue fixed than just making money for himself. The plumber he referred me to did an amazing job and I was satisfied.

Fast forward to today, I have two sinks that are not draining. I couldn't reach the plumber he referred me to last time, so I called Gilbert again. Sadly, he was booked, but again he gave me the hookup to two businesses he trusts to do a good job. I called the first and have an appt. today without any hassle.

This is the first time I have ever given someone a max review for NOT being able to help me! I am simply amazed that Gilbert and Blue Dragon would rather help someone than just make money. Not once, but twice! I don't want to wish another plumbing issue on myself, but if it happens, I will be calling Gilbert and Blue Dragon first.

So I work out of town for two weeks at a time and I was gearing up for my next hitch when I received a rather exorbitant gas bill. We had previously called Ferrell Gas to come out and investigate for a leak due to the smell of natural gas permeating our back patio area. They came out and tested for leaks to no avail, not once but twice in a one month span. They informed me that my leak may possibly be within the walls of the home and that it was not their territory. Their suggestion was to contact a plumber to come out and conduct yet another leak test.

Thus came my main man Curtis. I contacted Rooterman and they sent out Curtis the next day. Curtis was kind and informative. I am an engineer by profession so I was very curious as to how we were going to detect a leak. Curtis allowed me to join him throughout the process and taught me about the natural gas distribution system in my home. We isolated several valves and finally found that the valve at the service loop leading to the stove had a small leak. Ferrell gas had missed this twice. On top of that the stove that we had was also leaking on the rear burner. While the system was pressured with air we found that the burner would actually ignite when a flame was presented due to residual gas being pushed out by the air.

Once we found the leak Curtis had another appointment he had to make so he went to fulfill his obligation and returned at a later time to complete the work on the leaking gas line. Once the line was repaired I ordered a replacement stove but the smell of gas still lingered outside. I turned on the furnace investigate and Curtis showed me how there was black ash on the burner area and also that there was too much smoke being released from the flue on the roof. He recommended I contact the company that had just recently installed the unit as it may have been set up for natural gas rather than propane. The difference in orifice size could cause the fuel source to burn inefficiently. This actually posed a danger to my family and I.

I contacted the company and had them send out a tech thanks to a helpful tip from Curtis. When the tech arrived and opened up the unit he said he had never seen anything like that in all his years of working in the industry. He condemned the unit and called his supervisor. The company did what was necessary and replaced the unit rather than just washing the damaged coils.

Once I received my stove I even had Curtis come back and perform the conversion from natural gas to propane with the kit provided by the Home Depot. I was not at home for this, but from my wife's testimony, Curtis once again did an amazing job.

Rooterman, I have worked in customer service for many years prior to my current career and I have never come across a gentleman like Curtis. Because of this man you have earned yourself another customer as long as we are in Austin. Give that man, Curtis, a raise!

BTW this review is long overdue and I apologize for that. This work was done back at the beginning of the year. The recognition is well deserved as there was a lot learned through this experience thanks to someone who was willing to explain and teach. I appreciate you Curtis!

Capital City Plumbing provided us with one of the best professional experiences we've ever had.  Our hot water went out in the early morning, and we could not find any company willing or able to come out the same day to address the issue.  Cap City got back to us in less than 2 minutes, gave us same-day service, and could not have been more pleasant or informative of every step of their work.  My wife and I cannot recommend them enough!

EZ Flow Plumbing is extremely reliable and trustworthy. They respond quickly to calls and work fast too. We've called them several times over the years and have always gotten the same great service. We wouldn't use any other plumbing company.

We had a rusted expansion tank with our water heater. While not an emergency, A&T Service Plumbing was able to come out within hours on the same day. Prompt, friendly, reasonable and efficient service. If there was one recommendation I could make, it would be that I wish they would have removed the water that was in the drip pan before they left. Not a hard task for me, but I would have preferred to not have to do it myself.

We have used Dave Henderson for a variety of plumbing needs over the past several years and have always been very happy! Dave arrives promptly, dressed in a clean polo shirt and nice jeans, with a big smile on his face. He works quickly and efficiently, even on our rusty old pipes, because he has many years of experience and can handle the tough jobs with ease. If he encounters a problem that is going to entail a lot more work than originally planned. He discusses the options with us and then tells us what HE would do if it were his home.  He can generally give us a ballpark estimate over the phone for small jobs, and the actual cost is usually very close to that figure, if not lower. He also gives us a little education about the problem so that we can take care of routine things ourselves.

I called Abel after noticing water damage on my kitchen ceiling. It turns out my master bath shower valve was leaking, causing water to run down to the lower lever ceiling.

Abel was quick to take a look, and explained everything to me in great detail. His prices were also extremely reasonable and he had the issue solved in a few hours.

He's the only person I trust with my plumbing issues, highly recommended!

We needed to get our outside hose spigot fixed from a leak. Braulio was the best priced and responded very promptly. He replaced it and made everything really quick and easy. I will be keeping this businesses information close for the next time I need any plumbing work!

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!

Stan's installed our system several years ago. We have always had excellent responsive service ever since. Jeremy was our service tech this morning and he was efficient, personable and knowledgeable. We always know we will get expert service and advice from a Stan's representative.

Had a plumbing emergency at 10pm, they responded 7am the next day and were fixing the problem by 8am that day. Reasonably priced and knowledgeable.

Showed up on time and wore masks which was greatly appreciated! Thought we had a major problem with our garbage disposal only to find out it just needed reset. They reset it and everything worked great. Just charged us the $75 service fee. They were easy to get a hold of and were able to come out next day. Would gladly use them again.

Hire these guys. Jeff did an amazing job, was responsive, knowledgeable, courteous, clean, and helped me obtain parts through warranty to get the job done. Awesome plumber will absolutely use Jeff again for all my plumbing needs. Thanks for bumping up our water /shower pressure!

Mark is an excellent plumber.  He was professional in diagnosing my issue then methodical in approaching the installation of the new part.

Olvin did such an amazing job on our bathroom!! He paid attention to all of the details, and even when I asked for a slight change he was super quick to do it and make us happy.

I couldn't recommend him more!! He is an incredible tiler, extremely clean (not just where he was working but even walking up the stairs he would set down a cover cloth every day!!). Amazing job-- thank you Fuentes tile!!!

Scott was great! So helpful, friendly, and fast. Our bathtub hadn't been draining properly for months he fixed it quickly! He cleaned the bathtub, explained future maintenance suggestions, and was extremely polite!

I often use Yelp for ideas about who to call or where to go.  I'm only now joining to post review a review because my experience was just that good.  

I called Nick on a Friday about a low pressure situation at my house.  He asked a few questions, diagnosed the problem and quoted me a price within a minute or so...all over the phone.  He was out to my house on Monday and fixed the issue within the time estimate.  I was very happy with the care he took to fix my problem and improve the access points for future work.  The water pressure has gone from a trickle to drilling holes in your skin.  I had him do some additional work inside, on clogged faucets/drains, and he was just as thorough and effective there as well.  I've used a lot of service technicians and rarely do you find someone as friendly, thorough, prompt and honest as Nick.  Now if I could find his equivalent in an electrician and AC technician I would be all set!
