Best Businesses in Austin, TX

We started with another company that couldn't get to our water main leak for a full week.  We are now glad they were so busy, as it prompted us to keep searching, and we stumbled onto PLD.  Kevin, the owner, was responsive, prompt, professional, and honest.  Using sound waves he traced the water flow from the water main to the house, to quickly isolate and expose a segment of cracked PVC (2 ft deep), all the while taking time to discuss his methods for locating the leak.  Turns out Kevin is actually an engineer that just really enjoys this business.  Lastly, as for the cost, I'm pretty sure the other leak company would have charged us 20-25% more, plus Kevin recommended an affordable plumber to make the repair, saving us some more money.

Reliable, reasonably priced and solid workmanship. Has done multiple jobs from simple faucet install to complex repair (reconnected bath drain in the slab requiring jack hammering to make a difficult reconnect to fix the leak. Also replaced water heater and replaced copper pipe after a freeze. Highly recommende!

Great service!  Raul was so friendly and responsive.  I had a need water pressure meter installed.  He made sure I was getting strong pressure in all of my faucets and shower heads.

Ross Plumbing is 1000% committed and determined to fix your problem. They are very responsive and always show up on time. They are high-quality plumbers who are amazing people.
Ross Plumbing was recommended to me by the folks at Glass Well and I'm glad they did. Cody and Clint have taken care of several fairly routine plumbing issues for me and have been prompt, courteous, and reasonable.
More recently I've had a water heater problem. They replaced it but there were still issues. Over a couple of weeks they came out several times (no charge) and tired different solutions. When I mentioned I had a high flow rate on my water softener but no one could find a leak, even the plumbers with fancy technology, Clint ruled out other issues and finally discovered that yes, there was a slab leak from the water heater. We had all been stumped for months, but using reason and the process of elimination, plus his plumbing knowledge, Clint nailed it. Although it will be costly to fix this, at least now I know what the problem is and we can work around it till it's fixed. And if this ends up being a job beyond the scope of what Cody Ross Plumbing does, I will use Leroy Ross (Cody's father), who does construction plumbing.
In summary, they're the best around on all fronts. I cannot rate them high enough for what they've done.

Ruben is our friendly neighborhood plumber. Over the years, he has helped us replace toilets, repair toilets, replace entire plumbing lines, install water heaters - you name it! Ruben charges a fair price (and sometimes hasn't charged us at all for repairs) and does excellent work.

Very impressed at the knowledge and corrections made to my irrigation system. Thank you so much

AJ with Greenshire Handyman came by to paint some shutters on my home that I could not reach.  His team did a fantastic job.  The communication was excellent and timely and he was prompt.  He brought the supplies he needed and the shutters look great! Thanks AJ.

BEWARE of this store.  They don't do what they say they will do and they don't even try to resolve a problem even when the mistake was theirs.  Let me explain.  I am remodeling my bathroom and laundry room. I purchased high quality products from Josco at their N. Lamar location totaling $5,100 including two sinks, two faucets, a shower system, a free standing vanity and a toilet.  At the time of purchase I asked if they deliver and the answer was yes.  Not true.   When I called my salesman I found out he had been fired and, no, Josco won't deliver.  But that was minor.  When my project started we found that the salesman had ordered a  retrofit Grohe shower system (total cost of $554) which could only be used if you have an existing Grohe shower (which of course I don't).  When asked how long if would take to swap it out with something I could use, Dustin very bluntly said that there wasn't anything they could do about it.  Even though the mistake was admittedly theirs, I had to eat the cost.  I asked to speak to the owner and, of course, he wasn't there.  When asked for his name, Dustin said that he couldn't (wouldn't) tell me his name.   So I asked Dustin to please have him call me back.  Imagine my surprise when he didn't call.  I will never buy anything else at this store.  Absolutely horrible customer service!!

Licensed Handyman in plumbing, electrical and a problem solver on things to do list around your home!  Danny is  the person to contact.

Danny came round to install a bathroom sink faucet I purchased, easy right - out with the old, in with the new!?  Encountered many problems of minor leaks due to the wear and tear of everything but the new faucet. An old house always has plumbing issues. Danny had the tools, knowledge, parts & his personality = WOW!  

He guarantees his work & with impeccable customer service, glad I found Danny on Yelp! & I just called the number on his site: alisthandyman.com

Without a doubt, will be contacting Danny again in the future!

My pressure control valve outside gave out after 11 years, cutting off the water supply to my house.  Called them based on Yelp reviews and past experience.  Was told 20 minute show time and arrived in 20 minutes.  Got to work right away after I accepted the quote.  Got a temporary repair going to restore my water supply because he didn't have the correct PCV in his vehicle.  Told me he'd be back in 48 hrs to install the correct one.  No biggie I told
I was happy with the emergency response time and his emergency repair and had the luxury of waiting for his return.  He was uniformed and polite.  I have used AAA Auger before several times to replace bibs and internal shower faucets and that sort of thing.  The only reason I didn't give him 5 stars was because he didn't have the part needed and has to return to complete the job.  They got me out of a big jam this time and will continue to use them in the future for my plumbing issues.

Had a busted pipe in my front yard while I went out of town. It was leaking over 1,000 gallons an hour! Called SAN Marcos plumbing and they showed up faster than I would imagine. Super polite guys too. They fixed the first pipe and found  another break deeper. They fixed the 2nd broken pipe for no cost. Fixed up my enormous leak in less than 3 hours from when I called. I will use these guys for every plumbing problem that may come up in the future. Two thumbs way up!

Bill and Diane Pair with Pair Plumbing & Septic have provided me with excellent customer service and work.  My farm is located about 20 miles from Cameron and recently all of my pipes froze and and broke due to the freeze.  The guys they sent to asses the damage were very professional and quickly identified the problem. The Pair's  were responsive and sympathetic to my needs and repaired my pipes.  This was not the first time we have had them service the farm, really good people.  Diane is a really sweet lady, more of a peach than a Pair!

Been using The Plumber for 4 years in my home.  They've done big jobs (2 major bathroom remodels) and small jobs like unclogging a drain.  He always comes when he says he will and can usually get me on the schedule within 24 hours depending on my urgency.  Straightforward and honest which is hard to come by these days!!

We asked for help with some stuff that we just couldn't fix on our own.
Came out when he said he would, was right on time.  Professional and courteous gentleman.  Helped us get our water system back on line after some serious freeze damage from URI 2021.  He knows how to fix stuff.  We would use his services again if needed.

I'm a new Dayton customer and am very pleased with the service I received.  In particular, Eric was is great!.  He was on time, friendly and knowledgeable.  He found and repaired an issue that could result in a big problem down the road.  Have peace of mind now that is fixed.  I am looking forward to being a long term customer of Dayton.  I gave this a 4 instead of 5-star rating because of a scheduling issue that resulted in my first appointment having to be rescheduled a week later.  I expect that was an isolated case that is not the norm.

Working with JW has been a challenge. It's been two years since I updated our HVAC and I wish I had gone with a more service oriented company.

In the onset, the initial conversations went well. As stated in other reviews, they are not the cheapest, but make persuasive argument. It all sounds great with them claiming nationally recognized name brand units and their own systems broken down by home size and efficiency.

However, my troubles started immediately during install of the outdoor unit. The name brand units they claim are actually their own brand, AMERICA's PRIDE, and not the national brand they pitch with. I raised a concern and they said the unit was actually a national brand and they just replaced the brand logo with their own. That smelled fishy to me (bait and switch) and I called them on it.

To make it right, they gave me a larger unit and said it was better for my home anyway. That's where part of my troubles began. i believe that it was too big for my home. The air in our home used to be über dry year-round. We even had to have humidifiers running at times because of it. Now, the inside humidity is on the opposite end of the spectrum with a 65% year-round average. It's almost 70% inside my home today, with outside humidity at 65%. As a result, mold is becoming an issue in my home, as I'm finding it in dark areas like in the toilet tanks and under my sinks. The expensive task of battling mold inside the home has begun.

The second part of the issue is that every JW service call comes with a hefty charge, even if there's an issue with the unit. They have a subscription fee you can pay for discounts, but it's all expensive, regardless. So, in effect, they put in low-quality systems with extra parts and gadgets like short-lived UV bulbs and  such, then hook you into requiring them to come out annually and pump you for $300-$500 annually. It's a racket.

We called them to come out and look at our system because of high humidity, and regular maintenance. The guy that came out performed maintenance and changed the filter. But, when we brought up the humidity issue, which is why we called them, to begin with, he brushed it off. He said it couldn't be their system, and said it was dirty ducts, even though all the registers were clean. When I pressed with evidence that the system was the problem, he said we'd have to schedule another service call so some could come out and check the system. He said the system could be tweaked to drop the humidity. But, I'd have to pay for another service call. But, he said we should call in the Spring because the outdoor humidity will be lower, and will be better for testing the humidity indoors.

Then, he tried to sell me a subscription for service.

Whoever is using the name The King of Drains on Yelp in Austin appears to be a scammer even though I believe there is a legitimate company by that name in San Antonio. Raymond Jones at 737-600-2552 showed up, took a look at the plumbing, talked about doing thousands of dollars of work, requested $485 for apparently doing nothing about our slow drain, could only be paid by Zelle or CashApp, had the payment rescinded by CashApp to protect me, and hasn't been heard from since. Do not engage with this person or you will regret it!

DO NOT USE THIS PLUMBER!!!!
These guys do not know what he is doing! He attempted to replace a recirculation pump w/ timer at our house. He arrives at the house without a long ladder and has to borrow it. He left the old sump pump sitting in the attic and left a pool of water. He also never turned it on before he left and the timer was not working. We were only able to find out about this matter when we had a different plumber stop by to give us a quote about adding a gas line. He went up to the attic to check on the BTU of the heater only to find out the mess the prior plumber had left. Our system would have burnt out had we not had discovered this in time!
They are unprofessional and terrible plumbers!

I haven't used L&M plumbing but I saw this truck pull up to me a few nights ago in a Whataburger parking lot. I have posted a photo.
Not only did the lady driver park across two spots, she also parked over a disabled bay. There were no disability signs on the vehicle.

She wasn't there for a quick visit either. She was in there for about 30 minutes.
