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.

Because of Josh and Clay at Accurate Leak and Line, I was able to close on the sale of my house on time!!!!!  Three days before closing, they diagnosed two leaks in my drain lines, allowed me the option of how I wanted it addressed (slab crack or dig under), repaired and replaced concrete in 2 days!!!  High quality work, very professional and thorough.  Not my typical experience with plumbing contractors.  Best in the business if you ask me.

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.

South By plumbing showed up to give an estimate on a hot water heater gas leak, they gave me a reasonable estimate and broke down expenses with their reasons for actions on the repair. They were able to find the control valve and have it shipped promptly to get the work done ASAP. Once the control valve was in their hands, they called and did their work the same day it arrived. The installation of the valve, draining of hot water tank, and a new supply line fitting took less than an hour and was really impressed. Thanks Robert!

My landscaper had taken some pressure readings and he had told me that we had low water pressure on our property.  We called Fast Plumbing to come and take some readings and adjust the pressure upwards if necessary.  Initially the person on the phone tried to quote me $350.  When I told them I was going to call some other places, they immediately reduced the price to $125.

Two plumbers arrived pretty quickly.  If nothing else, these guys are fast. I'll give them that.  A minute or two later they informed me that the water pressure was 60, which was normal.  When I walked up to look at his pressure gauge, he quickly disconnected it from the tap before I could get a look at the reading.  I had him reconnect it and magically the pressure was now more like 40.  I had my landscaper measure the pressure at the same spot and my landscaper's reading was even lower.  Of course, the plumber said that the landscaper's tool was broken and the landscaper said the plumber's tool was broken. [Spoiler Alert - I later bought 2 pressure readers on Amazon and both of the brand new gauges matched the landscapers measurements exactly. So this plumber has a faulty gauge]

At this point we told the plumbers that this pressure is too low and we need it to be higher.  He informed us that there were likely other people on the street showering and using the water, and that this was the maximum pressure that we could get from the city.  My landscaper, who has been doing this for years, knew that the plumber was full of BS.  We told him we might as well try to adjust the pressure valve.  It was very clear the plumbers just wanted to just leave with their $150 after about 5 minutes, so they were NOT happy about doing this.

The plumber told me that rotating the valve counter-clockwise is what would increase the pressure.  The landscaper said that the correct direction for increasing pressure is clockwise.  The plumber turned it counter-clockwise and the pressure dropped down to 30.  He again made up some excuse about the city not supplying high pressure to this area.

The entire time, they were rude, angered easily, and were just plain wrong about everything they said.  By the time they left, we had far LESS pressure than we had originally.  So we literally paid money to have two guys from Fast Plumbing tell us falsehoods with bad attitudes.

We ended up hiring another plumber who easily increased the pressure for us.  The pressure from the city was about 80, so there was more than enough pressure available.

If you're looking for plumbers who arrive FAST and are utterly incompetent, then Fast Plumbers is for you!

Great guy. Went beyond the scope of work to get the job done. Made sure everything was done as promised

Highly recommended

Mike is super knowledgeable and professional.  We had a pretty complex set up with a free-standing bathtub, and a couple other guys turned down the job.  I was really happy to find Greenwave to accept the job.  Mike showed up with a positive can-do attitude, and even though it took a couple of return trips and a few different parts, I am happy to report everything is now working perfectly.
Taylor is also friendly and courteous and makes scheduling a breeze.
I look forward to recommending Greenwave to my friends and family and using Greenwave again should the occasion arise.

Glenn was awesome!!!  We had a shower that wouldn't turn off on a property that we have in Spicewood and he worked me in at the last minute to help.  I didn't even have to be there and since it is a one hour drive for me, I was so relieved.  He ended up having to cap it off because the parts to fix it were not common.  I was thinking I would be in for a long repair process and have to search for the parts.  When Glenn called to keep me posted on the job, he had already called to find the parts!  They were expensive so he checked with me about options and we decided that was our best for the price so he ordered them for me and told me to pay when we got it fixed.  THEN, the same week, our air conditioner pan overflowed sending water down through a ceiling and walls onto a bedroom floor.  It was so maddening!!  Again, Glenn came right out and stopped the leaks until I could get the AC guys out there.  I can't compare his prices because I didn't get any estimates...but it was definitely worth what I paid considering the water would have cost so much more damage if it hadn't been stopped AND Glenn makes sure he does a thorough job and you can trust him to do it right.  I don't know how to put a price on trust...it's almost priceless but that is what you have with Glenn.

I just have to say that Mac and his crew were great!!! When Mac came to give me a free quote to replace some pipes - I told him I was having a problem with my toilet, he took one look and told me what the problem was, what to buy and how to fix it myself. It was simple and the best part there was no charge. I had gotten quotes from other plumbing companies, they were all about the same, but I liked Mac the best. He is honest and knowledgeable. He knew exactly what was wrong with the toilet - other plumbers told me it was something else wrong with the toilet and gave higher quotes. I highly recommend Mac and the guys from Decker Plumbing -  these guys are the real deal. I will use him again to replace my hot water heater in the spring. Thanks Mac and crew!!!!

Bought a plumbing service on Angie's list from Excaliber Plumbing and was completely satisfied with the service and professionalism Thomas gave us.  I would recommend Excaliber to all who need a plumber.

I called AAA and they sent Harold W. came to fix the leak under the kitchen sink and garbage disposer was making horrible noises.  He came on time and gave us 45 minute phone call beforehand.  He was very cordial and wore shoe coverings. I've called 2 plumbers in the past years for same leaking problem.  Spent ton of money fixing the leak, but problem was never resolved.  Within 15 minutes of his arrival, he figured out the problem and fixed it.  He was so nice and gave us a service discount.  It's been 2 weeks and finally no problems, truly AMAZING!  Call AAA Auger for your plumbing needs, they're on top of their game and provide great service!

Used Just Us plumbing to replace and install a new water softener (I purchased a Rheem unit)

I personally called and received prices from six different businesses;
Just Us Plumbing was the most reasonable....by over $300!!

Plumbing specialist Eric Barney was on time, took time to explain all aspects of the job, and installed the new unit in less than an hour!

I commend Eric for great service, and I highly recommend Just Us Plumbing if you need to replace a water softener.

Had a very bad experience with this company. They are supposed to fix leak of my jacuzzi within 1.5 hrs.. since urgent they quoted 475$. However when the person showed up.. spent may be 20 min including trips to his truck to tell us about leak.. which we already showed photo. Did not want to fix , mentioning that they only detect leaks.. after 3 min discussion he charged us 375$ and has not provided any report yet.. when we tried to call they gave excuses of upcoming holiday, after holiday busy and are yet give us a report that we already paid 4.5 days ago with showing more pictures of where leak is happening .. I guess.
In our last ring they even hung up the phone. Be wary of them.. we have been most patient and accommodating knowing we are being stripped for nothing .. yet there behavior before paying and after is different.

I would strongly advise to beaware of this provider when ordering a service from them

I wish I had read these reviews before I believe the hype on the radio ads.  Elmer's does not care about customer service and way overpriced.  Had an appointment on Saturday to have a mini split installed.  The guy did not show up on time, and then said he can just do an estimate and install wouldn't be till Tuesday.  Tuesday, half the crew shows up (the helper) who had to wait a couple hours for his leader to arrive.  They spent all afternoon installing 8 short pieces of 2x4 and left by 4pm saying they would be back at 9am the next morning to install.  It's almost noon on Wednesday and 3 calls to the office asking for a manager to call have yet to be returned by anyone.  They clearly have enough other customers to fleece that they really don't care about servicing customers.  Their maintenance plan is a joke.  I don't like this gave me any priority service.  It just feels like a bait and switch tactic.

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.
