Best Businesses in Austin, TX

When I initially meant this father and son team, I was so excited. They were friendly, and seemed professional and responsive. I hired them to do several jobs in a rental unit. From the beginning of work there began to be many glitches in our agreements and in the quality of the jobs. One included replace the plumbing in a shower tub combo and I noticed immediately that they had chipped the enamel of the iron tub while doing the job. I had to haggle with them to get them to refinish the tub to cover the chip. I started noticing that the quality of work was not the best and had to repeatedly ask for things that should have been part of the work such as a faulty tub spout that they wanted me to have to go and replace, even though they bought the part new from Home Depot. Then, white putting in a new door and frame on an outside storage room, they nicked a wire in the wall causing an entire circuit of lights and plugs to stop working. They refused to repair the issue and I ended up having to spend several hundred dollars with an electrician to get it fixed. I explained all of this to both the father and son, including pictures of the damaged wire, and they made it very clear that they would have nothing to do with it. The cost ended up not being worth going to small claims court, but I considered it given the bad workmanship. I recommend moving on and finding someone who has references. I learned my lesson.

Found myself in a pinch and needed a plumber right away.

Kyle responded to my message right away. He was very kind to speak to and treated my house in the utmost respect. He was very open and honest about what needed to be done to fix my garbage disposal and had it up and running in no time! He was also reasonably priced!

10/10 would recommend :)

HIGHLY RECOMMEND:

Had a kitchen faucet replaced (I suppled the faucet- he was cool with that). Plumber also replaced two cutoff valves-one that needed to be replaced right now and one the plumber recommended since it was old. ( He gave me a choice about whether to do second valve ) . Price was fair, comparable to other quotes. Gave me a discount on installing the new valves since it was an add-on.

Very fast next day morning service, prompt arrival at appt. time. Worked neatly (minimal spillage ) and cleaned and dried under the sink thoroughly after the job was finished.

Great job all the way around.

If you have plumbing needs, call David. He is responsive and talks through the work that needs to be done. He knows what he's doing and his charges are very reasonable.

He recently came out and changed a busted water pressure reducer (buried in the yard by the curb) and a couple of expansion tanks on our water heaters. Both were old and one had started to leak, so I asked him to replace both.

He answered my calls and talked me through the work and was very good about communicating schedule and when he would come. He came when he said and did exactly what was needed for a fair price.

Great customer service! On time, professional and fixed our issue quickly. Wilcoxen has helped us out a few times -- great to have a service team you can count on!

I've used Wimberley Plumbing for the past ten years, and have never been disappointed.  They're responsive (typically the same day), and have always diagnosed the problem and were able to fix it!

Ramon is the owner operator of this business.  He knows his stuff.  I have had him over to do several different repairs and he always did the work timely, with no hidden costs.   His rates are reasonable especially  when you KNOW the job was done well.  If you live in the greater Elgin/Bastrop/McDade area and need plumbing, electrical, or general home repairs,  give him a shout.

Review update: they made it right! We called and discussed our inability to get a rebate, plus the amount of time spent, and Mr. Wilson heard us out, talked to the plumber who did the work, and discounted the cost of the job with the exorbitant bill. Add it to the list of pros: these people are indeed professional. I will call them again for major plumbing work.

I thought I was a pessimist, but even *I* was able to seriously underestimate the exorbitant cost of some recent gas work I had done by Wilson Plumbing. I have had similar work done in the past - running a gas line in a home from floor to attic- and it did not take 6 hours or cost nearly as much. Upon opening the bill: ouch.

First, the pros: whoever picks up the phone does his best to get a handle on your needs and understand the situation. I also used these guys for a repair on a rental property and for understanding my billing needs and tenant contact info, bravo. And the work is done well - you're paying for a licensed plumber. It ain't cheap.

Cons: I was told the installation of a gas line for my dryer would take about 2-3 hours. I guesstimated that would be about $500 in labor. We added on another small repair when we made the appointment. The whole ordeal took 6 hours, mostly because of the inability to poke through attic insulation. My husband ended up having to hand them a golf club from the garage to get it done. Shortly after they departed, we discovered a gas leak in the laundry room, caused by a cracked fitting on the dryer, which necessitated another visit the following morning. (Fixed at no charge.)

Mega cons: 6 weeks later we got a bill that's about the house payment, billed for 6 hours of labor. $140/hour to poke holes in insulation. What's more annoying, I then found out Texas Gas Service offers a $300 rebate for dryer gas valve installation, but our install won't qualify because the plumber did not get a permit. Again, ouch.

Bill's awesome! He took my sewage issue call on a Saturday...on a Saturday, people! I had a sewage ejector/grinder pump failure and every other plumber told me I'd be paying major $$$ to replace it. Bill took a better path...he was friendly, super knowledgeable, and very solution-focused to suggest just doing a quick cleaning of our sewage pump pit to help get my family functioning again, and then later figure out if we really needed to do a pump replacement or not. Guess what...he cleaned my pit with his beast of a truck, and got my pump working again, without needing to replace it! It was just a simple circuit breaker failure that all the other plumbers conveniently missed. He saved me thousands of dollars by focusing on my needs first! And in the process, he was so polite, and so eager to help my family get back to septic safety as fast as possible. I will always call Bill again for repeat plumbing issues...he earned my business for life! Thanks Bill....I will definitely send my friends your way. I hope Bill the Third keeps your business alive and thriving with your integrity and work ethic.

How have I not reviewed Tony? We first worked with him a few years ago because our bathroom plumbing kept backing up. It was disgusting, stressful and we were snaking the pipes every time this occurred as a temporary fix all the while hoping that it would work itself out. Well, it didn't and one day we had a real emergency because our temporary solution failed so I called Blue Dragon Plumbing based on their stellar reviews. I spoke with Gilbert who was booked out for awhile so he recommended Tony Vallejo. Tony was able to come to our house that evening (and it was late...like 10 or 11pm) and fixed the problem. He's been out a few times for random things and every time we see him, it's like seeing a friend because he is so easy to talk with, non-judgemental, and really respects our time. We have recommended him to everyone we know because we are so pleased with Armadillo Plumbing.

Wonderful experience with this company! Will be using them again in the future. Very polite, responsive, and skilled.

Fast friendly service!  He is very personable, professional and friendly. We had a water leak and he came out quickly give us an estimate which was more than reasonable, performed the work in a timely matter with excellent quality. I would recommend them to all of my family and friends

I originally had contacted Woods Comfort Systems in San Marcos when my 10 year old Trane air conditioner stopped working.  Their technician charged me $50 to tell me my condensor motor was bad, and needed to be replaced for $1,800.  Then their comfort advisor  advised me not to replace the motor but that I would better off replacing the entire inside and outside unit, thousands of dollars!!  

Then I contacted Legacy A/C in New Braunfels.  Raymond, a BRILLIANT technician came out today and checked my entire system and found the source of my problem. My drain line had become clogged and my top of the line Trane system has an automatic shut-off that shuts off the system to prevent an overflow, he cleaned out the line, and for only $129 my air conditioning system if running great.  

Thank goodness there are still companies out there like Legacy who were able to correctly diagnose the problem and who send out qaulity techicians.

We had a water softner in oct installed. Angle was amazing he was very patient in answering all our questions and concerns before we purchased the softner. He did an amazing job installing the softner and his price was fair. He even came back out a week later to retest our water to make sure the softner was working properly free of charge. I would recommend ROD plumbing to anyone. Thanks for your great customer service.

Contacted them on Yelp with a detailed description.  They emailed me with a phone number to discuss.
Called number, got voicemail, left message, they never called back.

I have to commend Kalub and Damon and Brandenburg Plumbing.
I was without water for three days...called on Monday...they arrived before noon and repaired my problems. The men were pleasant and professional...fixed my problem in steamy hot conditions...and I would recommend them every time.

Do your homework BEFORE they do any work.  The markup was 900% for some straightforward lighting that was done recently.  I believe the technician took advantage of the fact that I was on phone meetings while the deal was being set up.

If you want electrical work done go elsewhere!

Owner of company (Eusebio) hardly returns calls. He is not personable and is completely hands off. Jorge, his brother on the other hand is the profesional one. He picks up calls, he is resourceful and helpful and does the work on a timely manner.
All you want is for Jorge to be in charge of your project.
