Best Businesses in Austin, TX

I am so happy to have found West Austin Handyman to tackle our to do list. I appreciated the responsive communication, professionalism, and really quality work for a fair fee. Excited to check off next project.

Call these guys if you have a potential leak in any of your water or sewer lines!  They will save you 1000s of dollars from demolition of slabs and removal of underground pipes.  They use a liner technology.  They are legit!!!  Super professional. Return phone calls quickly. Great customer service.  We have work on a leaking pipes in our old home in south austin last summer... a few weeks ago, our toilet got so clogged that after trying to fix myself i called a plumber who after breaking out his 8 foot auger couldnt get it to unclog... i told this guy about using Accurate last year and he suggested i contact them just in case there was any warranty issues concerning using any chemicals, etc.  I called Josh on Friday night, and on Saturday he returned my call. He immediately wanted to set up a time to come out to check out what was going on. There was no hesitancy!!! I have experienced the opposite many times!!!  Well, he came out... used his camera... helped the problem out a ton BUT also let me know that he would send his crew out with the longer auger to clean out the sewer line thoroughly.  So today, as promised, Curtis and Fabian came out and did the job!!!

So Accurate does good work PLUS stands by their work doing warranty work AFTER the initial job is done!!!

It is refreshing to have a company like this offering this type of service!!! Great job guys!

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.

Jason hunter.. any update..?  You and Robert took the $4600 and did not complete the tasks.

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!

I contacted Eligio on a Saturday after discovering a water leak downstream of the city meter.  He arranged to meet me on Monday afternoon to evaluate the situation and assess another repair inside the home that was needed.  The following day, he and a helper were out there right on time.  I went by the house and Eligio showed me the source of the leak and what he was changing/doing differently to ensure it did not happen again; very professional approach and excellent communicator.  The second repair was inside and required cutting away sheet rock to gain access.  I greatly appreciated that they only removed the minimum amount required to complete the project and were very protective of the new wood floors we installed.  They were very efficient with their time and did a quality job.  I will definitely call Stellar Plumbing again!

Just a quick note about my most recent experience with Greenwave Plumbing. We had a faulty meter that was leaking gas outside my house, and after Texas Gas Service shut off the gas, they said they wouldn't be able to install a new meter until we had a plumber identify a nearby pipe. We called a number of plumbers to see if someone could take a look at it, and within minutes Taylor contacted me to check if any plumbers were in the vicinity. Less than 10 minutes later, Will showed up at my house and he was able to figure out that the pipe was not being used and put a cap on it. All told, this took a few minutes, although Will was thorough, and when he finished he told me there was no charge because it was such a simple operation. I'm impressed by how he and the company look out for their customers.

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.

Had Chris from Decker over to change my water heater. He was great! It all went without a problem, he was able to squeeze a 50 gallon tank into a small closet which was a fabulous upgrade for me. I can't be more pleased. He looked at and fixed a leaky toilet for free! (He probably doesn't want me to tell anyone that, lol) I have had my home for almost 20 years and had my share of services for plumbing from the simple kitchen disposal to the leaky faucet. This company was a pleasure. They have all my future business.

Tale of woe: My hot water heater died on or about October 1. I was still paying off work I had done on my car and I have no major credit cards. On November 12, after paying off the car work, I looked at Home Advisor,  found Excalibur Plumbing, read online reviews, and contacted them. I was able to get financing to have my water heater replaced. I spoke with Bob and after applying for financing, scheduled the work.
Tuesday November 13, Bob called to let me know the team was on the way and would be at my home shortly. Alan and  (sorry, I did not catch the young man's name- Craig, Greg?) showed up about a half an hour later. They were on time.  Big plus!
They replaced my water heater and installed a new Insinkerator. I am so impressed. They did such a good job. The cost was reasonable. I was able to get financing, a  major plus which made it possible for us to have hot water again. The water heater is fabulous! And they insulated the water lines to and from the heater. I wasn't expecting that. Beautiful job. :)
They took such care installing the disposal, making sure there were no leaks and even going to get an additional part. They had to rerun the drain lines and doodle about to get everything to fit and work correctly.
First time I have had a working disposal in 9 or 10 years.
Alan took time and exhibited extreme patience in talking to me,  and explaining everything to my satisfaction, and his.
Long/short:
They responded to my query in a timely manner. They worked with me to be sure I got everything I needed and wanted. They communicate well and the team that came to my house worked well together and did a good job. They do excellent work for a reasonable price.  Five stars!
I will use them again.

Don't use these people. They will try to scam you out of all the money they can. Lie to you about receiving payments. Blame you for anything they can, and threaten to put a lean on your house. They are overpriced and horrible people. Avoid at all costs.

We just had a water heater replaced with these guys. I called them around 9am. They came by 1230 to see what the issue was. They went to get a water heater and had it installed by 5. Everything is working great, and it was a fair price too. I had looked at another company and they were about 800 dollars more. Also, a veteran owned business that shows fellow veterans a little love too. All in all, I am pleased as I can be...considering no one likes buying a new water heater out of the blue! Great job guys! I will be recommending JustUs to all of my friends for there plumbing needs.

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.

My aircondtioning was leaking water.  They sent out a technician who looked at the unite and showed me pictures of a frozen up coil due to no freon in my closed system.  He could not repair it.  He wrote up and estimate from bandaid fix to replacing the coil. All in thousands of dollars.  he was not equipped to repair it and in a couple of days the repairman would come to braise the coil and look for leaks.  No warranty!! He also said a maintenance program was required and they would come service the unit(s) twice a year0 . He asked me to sign a document that said they had completed the repair and it had yet been done. He  collected in the excess of 2000 for the coil repair and maintenace program. This was Logan
The repair crew came, they knew nothing about the coil, they found a leak by the king valves and replaced them.  No coil braising etc.

My second unit, a minisplit , was serviced by the technician for the warranty plan.  he said the fins were dirty and needed to be cleaned but he only was paid 35.00 and was not going to do the work for that amount.

That same technician then performed maintanance on my HVAC unit.  he tells me the coil is frozen over, the freon is gone, the unit is in need of major repair and presents me with three options, one bandaid around 1000 a second repair and the third for near new unit at 3600 plus.  I wrote the company of the above and asked to terminate my maintenance contract on two units which had and inspection and to refund me for 1/2 the contract on both those units and 100% of the unused contract on the other unit.  I also asked them to address the above.  They did not respond and kept my 2000+ dollar.

Truly their maintenance' is a ruse to present thousands of dollars on needed repair. BEWARE, STAY AWAY, REPORT!!!!

AND I am a veteran and this is their service

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.
