Best Businesses in Austin, TX

I have contacted West Austin Handyman twice now for a couple of pool issues related to damage that resulted from the freeze that happened a while ago. He responded quickly and did not waste any time to order the part I needed and have it installed.

The second time I was not in town, but he was willing and able to go to the house and diagnose the issue and again ordered and installed the part quickly.

I am looking to use him as my go to handyman for my rental properties due to his great communication and efficiency. I recommend others use him too.

Clayton and everyone at Accurate Leak & Line are great! We had a somewhat complicated situation due to conflicting opinions between our hydrostatic test and the plumber the sellers of the house hired. A friend going through a similar situation referred us to Clayton and he was quite helpful over the phone, and agreed to be the 3rd opinion. He was awesome at the house: he explained the hydrostatic test to us and a lot of information along the way and even talked to the sellers on the phone. It was really helpful in building our side to the sellers! Additionally, their prices are fair and they don't contract out the excavating or back-filling. Eventually we closed on the house and Clayton and his team were able to get started on re-doing our whole sewer line. It was extremely corroded cast iron. They were fast, professional, nice, informative (and patient) through out the entire process. It only took 6 days! I HIGHLY recommend Accurate Leak & Line.

Highly recommend Legit Plumbing. I had an unusual problem with my toilet, and Sam had to do a lot of research to come up with a solution that worked. I think his pricing is fair, and they did an excellent job. Happy to call him if I need any more plumbing work done.

We worked with South By Plumbing on multiple occasions and always I've got very clear explanations on what happened, what need to be done and what are the options. The quality of work was exceptional and I was happy about the price. On the last occasion I had disposal stuck and the issue was resolved immediately without any attention required from my side

I had a clogged bathroom sink, and none of the DIY solutions I tried (plunging, enzyme-based drain opener, etc.) did any good. I called Fast Plumbing, and Eric and his assistant arrived promptly and did a great job fixing the problem.

They were also very good about observing COVID-19 precautions--very conscientious about maintaining distance, wore masks, communicated with me by phone while I waited outside, etc. I highly recommend them and also their office manager, who was very efficient, helpful, and pleasant to work with.

We had Eligio out in February to replace an outdoor spigot that was leaking. The builder had installed it so that there was no easy access -- the wall had to be opened up. Eligio replaced it in a shorter time than planned and very much under our expected budget. He is thorough and a great guy to work with. We wouldn't hesitate to call him again.

I called Greenwave because of great yelp reviews and Eddie picked up the phone. I moved into a brand new house about 6 months ago and was concerned because we are getting some very cold weather and my kitchen refrigerator is plumbed on an outside wall. I was worried about the water intake pipe that feeds the ice maker/ water dispenser freezing. Eddie spent a good 30 minutes talking through how the plumbing system is likely set up; things I can do to keep water moving through the system so it doesn't freeze (i.e. empty the ice bucket so that the automatic ice dispenser has to work most of the night to make ice which will keep the system dripping.) He explained the advantages of the type of pipe my builder used ('PEX' rather than copper) which is more flexible than copper and less likely to burst even if water does freeze. He also felt that because the home is rated with a very high energy efficiency, they probably put plenty of insulation in the walls. He agreed to come out and look at the insulation and plumbing layout if I was really worried about it, but suggested that I contact my builder first and see if I could get any plumbing layout plans, insulation information etc. I was just very impressed with how much time he spent on the phone with me even though there was no payment for him.  This is clearly a guy that cares a lot about the customer, and if I have a plumbing problem or I am not satisfied with the answers I get from the builder - I am calling Eddie to check things out.

I called last night about a broken pipe in the wall, young man called early this next morning, showed up and fixed it a great rate.

So thankful for the same day appointment Decker Plumbing was able to give me. Most of the companies I called weren't able to come to my house to look at my water heater until the next day or even longer. They quickly repaired my water heater without any problems. They also told me about the warranty process to try and save me some money but I didn't want to wait for the parts to arrive. I was willing to pay whatever the cost to have my water heater fixed that day but what they charged me was fair. Would definitely use them again!

Our water heater was past its replacement date and was getting rusty as well as leaking into our garage. Bob, from Excalibur was flexible and informative and sent Corey on a saturday morning. We were told it would take 3 hours but Corey and another tech took out our old water heater and replaced it with a 50 gallon rheem water heater in under 2 hours. We appreciated the good deal and quick job!

Wow next time you have a plumbing issue call AAA! I have American Home Shield and they dispatched a plumber from a different service who flooded half my bedroom with Drano on a Friday of a 3 day weekend. Long story short Carlos from AAA came to the rescue. He arrived in less than an hour and fixed the clog in about 45 minutes and repaired the damage the other plumber had caused. He was extremely professional and courteous. I highly recommend AAA!

These guys are great - cannot recommend highly enough!  I have had 3 different experiences with them and in each one I feel I was treated well, the prices were fair, the service was timely, and probably best of all - they just seemed focused on doing the right thing and providing old fashioned customer service.  They are one of the best service companies I have worked with.

I wish they would expand beyond plumbing services because I would use them for everything if they did.

They charged me $475 to come and fix my leaks, just to tell me that it was my toilet and left it at that.
(You're telling me my water bill is over $700 and it's just a little toilet leak?)

Once i fixed the toilet issue, they told me that if there was any issues, to contact them within 30 days and they would fix it no cost.

But there was no way to know if my water bill was fixed or not because I receive the water bill every 30 days!!

SO. Guess who has fo pay another $475? To recheck? Wow how convenient right?

This is bs. You KNOW what you're doing, and to guarantee for 30 days KNOWING that we can't get our water bill within that time is sketchy.

I was wondering why they only have 1 star on google and called them beforehand. They assured me it was because of fake reviews.
I decided to use them anyways, well, here's a real review.

This company is garbage. I will make sure i leave this review everywhere i can unless i get my money back.

Don't use them, they aren't honest. The are instructed to use certain nefarious tactics. First they will try to act chummy chummy to gain your trust. Then they will inspect your AC which involves damaging it in some way. Then they will gaslight you into hiring them. Beware!!

Answering service said they didn't service area they show they have an office. Had to call and follow up myself to try to schedule service.

After successfully ci firming they did service my area (and allegedly have an office less than a mile from my house), they also confirmed they could perform the work I was requesting and would have a free service call to evaluate.  They required a 4 hour service call window, so I did a a 2pm-6pm window. After taking off a half-day to accommodate, I finally got a call at 6:30pm. The plumber simply told me they did not offer the service I needed (installation of a studor vent because my older house did not have a p-trap or vent for the washing machine drain). He told me at that time that they do not offer the service and he could quote the price to remove the faulting running trap and install a new one. I informed him I was not certain I even had a running trap, to which he said I probably did. I asked that he still come out to assess the situation just so verify. He fumbled around and said he would have to call his supervisor. He called back 5 minutes later and said it would be $12,850 to replace the running trap (that he didn't even know if I had). I asked that he still come out to look at it, and he said it would be $499 just to run a camera. No thanks, obviously a company that doesn't care about customer or the work.

Got a local small business to come out that next day, ran a camera for $75 to confirm I DID NOT even have a running trap, and they installed a new washing machine box, p-trap, and studor vent for less than $500.

Obviously a company that has grown too big to provide good service - have a 3rd party answering service that doesn't even know their service area, and plumbers that will do anything they can to avoid adhering to the service calls when their day is running long.
