Best Businesses in Austin, TX

Brad has always been the most honest, dependable and technically proficient master plumber for all the work in my house for the past 10-12 years. I wouldn't think of hiring anyone else. He recently replaced a water heater (gas) for me on very short notice (called him on a Sunday and he was able to schedule me for the following Mon morning) and after he completed the work, he explained to me how to maintain it properly. He practices very safe social distancing measures and ensures you're comfortable with what he needs to do. He offered me options to save money and went over each of the replacements and adjustments he needed to make to ensure the finished work was up to or exceeded code. His company will always be my first, primary contact for any plumbing work on my property.

Both of our water heaters (connected in parallel) started leaking and the pilot light would not stay on. I reached out to Proven Plumbing for a quote.

The first thing that stuck me about this company is their professional and polite attitude - this is one of the best I have ever experienced. I spoke to Peter and he immediately sent their team members to my house to inspect the current water heater and then they sent me a quote to replace both water heaters. It was very easy to talk to anyone at the company - special kudos to Peter and Louis. What I loved was that they took the time to calmly explain to me what was wrong and what they would be doing. They also answered any questions I had about my quote.

On the day of install, they sent Mr. Richard and Mr. Brian. Both of them were super professional and answered the numerous questions I had :-) It was a true pleasure talking to them. They did an amazing job of installing the new water heaters, expansion tanks and all the insulation (important due to the unpredictable weather in Austin/Round Rock. )

This is a trustworthy company, reliable and knowable with a professional crew. I highly recommend them.

We have used Blue Dragon several times over the years with fantastic results.  Blue Dragon is on time, on budget, with perfect customer service, and excellent results.  Most recently, we called Blue Dragon for a bad water heater.  Again,  they tool care of our problem as true professionals.
We had hot water in no time for a fair price.  I would not trust anyone else for my plumbing needs.

Curtis was awesome! Called Rooter-Man on a Saturday to come out and fix 2 leaking sinks and stabilize a toilet -it wasn't an emergency but I was happy that David picked up the phone on the weekend.  

Curtis communicated to me what was wrong with the sinks, and let me know how he would stabilize the toilet before doing the work. He worked quickly and was reasonable with final price. When he sent the invoice, he included pictures of the repairs which was great to have for records.

He also helped me figure out what to do for a leak causing high water bill, checking the meter to see what might be the cause which he said was from the sprinkler system and not in the house, and since he does not repair sprinkler systems, he advised me to call a leak detection service.

I like that he knew his limits and he did a great job doing what he did. Highly recommend!

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 have to say that this particular plumbing company is amazing!!! they're super reliable, always friendly and these are the best prices i could find. my favorite part of the service is the friendly black lab that joins the plumber!

The kid that was sent out had no idea what he was doing. I hired A&T to clean out my tankless water heater. The guy came out and immediately broke both faucets.  I use both of these regularly to water my garden and the hot water side I use to wash my hands when the other side is in use. The service person tried to say that they were old and stiff. I am a small person and use them everyday. They turned perfectly with ease. I had to argue with him to get him to repair the damage he caused. I argued with him at length and he finally called his boss who authorized the repair. When he was about to leave, I looked at the repair and he didn't replace the brass faucet connectors with the same threaded brass material. He used cheap plastic irrigation connectors that wouldn't have lasted long at all. I then had to argue with him about replacing what I had. It was a nightmare. Thanks for the boss on the phone it was eventually repaired correctly. The photo is the first repair made when they broke my faucets. It has now been replaced with the original brass faucets.

I had a bathtub that went from slow-drain to no-drain, so I decided to unclog it myself. After plunging for hours and using Liquid Plumber the tub was draining. A week later I realized that I hadn't unclogged the bathtub at all. Instead, I had broken a connection between the drain and the p-trap and it was flooding my crawl space every time I showered.

I called Henderson Plumbing and Dave showed up, crawled underneath the house and replaced the old cast iron p-trap. He snaked the line and my bathtub was now draining properly. The job took almost 3 hours, because he had to take a couple trips to get the right parts, but Dave was very professional and did a good job. I plan on using Dave for all of my future plumbing needs and I highly recommend.

We called Abel to change out our bathtub/shower fixtures. He arrived on time as promised, very professional, and wearing a mask & booties. While changing out our fixtures he was able to take care of other last minute requests as well. We are super happy with his work & customer service and will be referring him to our friends & family!

If I could give Braulio six stars, I would. Our water heater started leaking badly this week; it was a nightmare scenario, especially since I don't know anything about plumbing and leaking water kinda freaks me out.

He asked me to text him some pics and quickly diagnosed the issue (we needed a new water heater).

He was out here the next morning, had it replaced in a few hours for a fair price, and did some extra work on our pipes at no additional charge.

Can't recommend him highly enough. THANK YOU.

Came across a small water leak on the main line coming into the house...I was happy to see that Jamie lives in my neighborhood, I mean...how much more local can you get...He showed up in about 30 minutes, gave me what I thought was a very fair quote and got to work...job was wrapped up in about 4-5 hours and was please with the whole process...Looks like we have a new Plumber that I wouldnt hesitate to call for my needs.

I had to call Jim one evening at a little before 7 pm because a pipe had broken and it was going to get below freezing that night AND we needed water.  Jim came right away was  very professional and obviously well versed in his knowledge.  He did an emergency repair in order for us to get the water turned back on.  
He came back a few days later to complete the repair, he applied the money I paid for the emergency call to the final repair (which was great).  Again, Jim was incredibly  professional and very personable.   I will call him again and I highly recommend him to any one who needs a plumber.

I came home from vacation yesterday afternoon to no AC in my house.  A phone call to Stan's at 2:00pm and they had a technician to my house by 3:30.  He (John) was very courteous, knowledgable, and had the parts he needed on his truck.  I appreciate their prompt and professional service!

I had an interesting plumber come out. I called because my tankless water heater is not heating and the technician who came out, clearly didn't know how to work on tankless heaters. He then said in order to simply troubleshoot it, he'll charge $450 because he has to call tech support to do whatever they tell him to do. I called a plumber so that I wouldn't have to call tech support for the water heater and troubleshoot. To make things better, he offered to simply replace the tankless water heater at a price tag of $8,000. Keep in mind the new tankless water heater only costs $1,300, so he wants to charge $6,700 for labor to replace the water heater. Never have I ever heard of such craziness. Consider this a warning, since the technician did absolutely nothing, and still charged me $89 to come out.

We own ToddPilates & Barre Fitness studio and we need quick service when our toilets are out of order. We had a leak in the tank, that forced us to turn the water off and wait for it to be serviced. Megan with Plumb & Order put me on the schedule immediately and said we would be the last job of the day. She said they would call when they were on the way. Guess what, they actually called me and then texted me a link to track the plumber so we could see exactly where he was and when he would arrive. They fixed the problem for a fair price and recommended we quit using Clorox toilet tank tabs because they eat away at the seal. Great experience, highly recommend!

Jeff is the best plumber in Austin!!  He's nice, helpful, knowledgeable and affordable.  Don't waste your time looking for any other plumber!

Mark is awesome! He came out quickly to take a look at my leaky shower head.

I originally called another company to take a look at the problem and was told that it would cost 1,200$ to fix the problem. Long story short, Mark fixed my leaky shower head by just replacing a part for 300$ he also offered to take a look around and noticed that my some of my values had been closed which was causing my pipes to rattle. So happy that I found Mark. He's honest & reliable! I'll be using him for any future plumbing issues. Thank you Mark!

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 is very professional and responsive. I got the quote from Yelp within 20mins, scheduled the appointment the next day. It took him 20mins to fix the broken pipe from the ice storm, also he insulated the pipe because they are exposed outdoor. Really nicely done.

The problem with a lot of skilled labor contractors are that they're like flaky dates - most of them don't show up or don't even call you back (which has never happened to me, *cough*). I don't think is an Austin-only problem, but it's pretty bad here.

This is where Union Jack is different. Nick shows up (and in Austin that alone will probably get you three stars). Sure, he only did one job at my house and it didn't flood, so as far as I can tell he's not terrible. Once he called me back to tell me that he couldn't do a job, and he recommended other people instead.

One caveat is that he doesn't do big jobs, so if you want to replace all the pipes in your house and pay him with a big sack of cash, he won't do it. He's up front about this because he wants to be on call for emergencies.

So:
+1 point for a very friendly personality.
+1 point for reliability and honesty.
+1 point for a giant British flag on his van.
+1 point for The British are plumbing! The British are plumbing! meaning he's in touch with his feelings about the Revolutionary War.
+1 point for him describing how he drives through 12th and Chicon and waves back at the prostitutes on the street corner.
