Best Businesses in Austin, TX

Kevin and Precision Leak Detection are probably the best company you could call on if you are experiencing a water leak and aren't able to locate it or sure where to turn. We had a water leak at our house that was most likely located in our slab (as it was not showing itself anywhere else and we could hear the water running/see meter running). We were unsure who to call or what to do as we knew costs on something like this can easily skyrocket and we wanted to be smart about how we went about handling this. The first plumbers we called out couldn't find anything and recommended we wait to let the leak show itself (not a good idea) and other plumbers we spoke to could only start opening walls and tearing through things to search for it. Another leak detection company was extremely expensive and booked weeks out. Kevin was so knowledgeable and experienced that we were quickly confident we made the right decision. He was able to locate the main leak in our slab pretty quickly and help us talk through some ideas for repair with a plumber. He uses a lot of different tools that help him locate the leak/lines/manifolds with the least amount of invasiveness to your property. Once we made that necessary repair we later discovered we had a second slab leak and Kevin went above and beyond to work with us on coming back out to locate that. He was patient, thorough, never did we feel that he was in a rush to leave and just really cared that we were able to identify the problem and again talk through some ideas for repairs. He gave us some guidance and walked us through some steps over the phone to help us out. We were extremely anxious about the whole process and cost to get to the bottom of our problem, as we've had a lot of other unexpected costs recently, and Kevin and Precision Leak Detection were just the right team we were supposed to cross paths with. We know without a doubt we would not have gotten the same level of service and care from another company. Should we ever need their services again, fingers crossed, we would use them again in a heartbeat and refer our friends/family. Thank you Kevin and Precision Leak Detection. God bless!

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!

I spoke with three plumbers and chose Butch at Marshall Plumbing for his knowledge over the other two highly recommended plumbers.  He was the lowest bid on a job involving 13 individually owned condos.  He was on time, very professional and all of the owners were very satisfied with his work on an older property.  He did such a good job he was asked back the next week to install four additional toilets.  He charged us a lower rate than expected and actually provided some parts and much knowledge at no extra charge.  I will use him again on larger commercial or small residential jobs.

My Water Heater went out 12/27/2021. I called Ross Plumbing as recommended by a friend and the recording asked me to text the number with my information and the issue.  Cody contacted me that evening. I sent him a few pictures and explained the issue. He gave me a fair price and said he would move things around and get to it the next day if i approved of the price. I agreed.
He and a helper were at my house the next morning at around nine with the new Water Heater and were finished in very short order. My wife and I were impressed with his willingness and professionalism to answer any questions we had about the current job and any other questions we had about other issues in the house. I highly recommend Cody and Ross Plumbing.

Would definitely recommend the services of Ruben. He answered all my questions over the phone first and even asked if I could take a picture of the issue, then quoted me over the phone. I knew what to expect and what I was going to pay before he even came out. He worked with my work schedule and met me at my apartment exactly when he said he would, even called/text to confirm.

Very nice gentleman. He retrieved my grandmother's necklace that was gifted to me 19 years ago. I don't know what I would do without him. He gave me some plumbing tips and even cleaned up the area he worked on.

Looking for a family plumbing business? Call Ruben!!

Needed a backflow test done so I texted Lauren and she replied promptly with the price. After checking with a few other businesses, this was the best price so I texted back to move forward with the test. They emailed me an invoice, did the test the same day. They emailed once it was completed, I paid online and received a receipt and copy of the report. The entire process was excellent and convenient!

This was our first time dealing with the Greenshire Handyman service and will definitely use them again. AJ was professional, knowledgeable, and patient with us on ensuring our projects would get completed as we expected. Additionally, he took the time to explain the entire scope of work and absolutely made sure we were happy with the final outcome. He even touched up some items that needed some attention. The customer service was pleasant and attentive to leaving our home as clean as possible. Great to have this business be local to us and will definitely use them again!

My plumber suggested I go down Industrial Blvd and check out the toilet options in the plumbing supply stores.  Based on some reviews, I figured I may be met with some attitude from the staff going in as a mere lady homeowner instead of either being
A) An actual plumber or B) A man.

I went to two places. Joscos and Moore Supply. Both places were places I'd go again. Neither of them gave me attitude for being a lady who had some questions.  If anything, they were quite polite, friendly and even humorous.:)  

I purchased from Joscos because they had the brand I was looking for. However, If I needed a supplier from Moore I'd readily purchase from them as well.

Back to Joscos:
I talked to a few folks in the store, they were welcoming and helpful. Talked me through all the brands/ prices / features that I was looking for in the toilet. (Full disclosure - I did come in having done some research, so I wasn't expecting them to give me a full plumbing 101 class or anything.)

Jonathan helped me select the commodes I wanted, gave me some good pricing (I compared, so I know.) and then even was helpful when I had to call back to double check features such as the rough in dimension.

Danny has been a tremendous help with our new place. I contacted a couple of other handymen before I found him and I had a lot of trouble just getting a call back from others. Danny was very responsive from the beginning and communication was always prompt. His skills as a handyman are also exemplary and we've been very happy with his work. Initially we asked him to do a demo of a wall in our garage and a built-in, but given his very good results, we added a lot more work for him and delivered on everything very well. We had him patch up stucco in several walls, paint, fix a patio wall, install a floorboard, fix loose ceiling light fixtures and probably more which I'm forgetting. He's on our speed dial now.

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.

Horrible service. Terrible customer service. Their representative was rude and did not help at all. I would never recommend them as a professional plumbing company.

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!

I have used this company for over 30 years.  They are reliable and friendly and do great work!  Allison is very fun to talk with and gets the job set up easily.  The work is good and I trust them to come in my house when I'm out on an errand.  They may seem a bit high, but I figure so is everyone else.  Quality is worth paying for.  All in all, they rock!

I highly recommend Highland Lakes Plumbing. Shannon did a great job on a difficult bathroom job. He is very fair priced and is a very hard worker and efficient with his time. I will definitely be hiring him for any other plumbing jobs.

Jared Stogner is the best! Very smart and funny!

We had to have a water line rerouted. They had to go crawling around in both of our attic spaces and cut multiple holes in sheetrock to do this. They were so good at explaining everything they did, and they kept the holes to the minimum they could get by with. They were very professional and neat with their work. I would highly recommend Jon Wayne!

Horrible service! This man left in the middle of doing the job supposedly to go get a part he needed and never came back. I do not recommend this company or this person.

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!

For starters, Doing one job at a time like their website claims, is absolute crap.  I lost count of how many times Lucy & Tom (master plumber & proj mgr) actually told us they had too many jobs to keep up with & were so busy; I really need to get over to this one in Westlake Hills, so yours HAS to be finished tomorrow even though there were SO MANY problems left unaddressed! We chose L&M based on the reviews & photos on their site & regret it. To be told straight to her face that this is not a job we want to take photos of for our website by Lucy herself blew my roommate away & proved their true work ethic. She wasn't talking about design, colors, etc. the work is so poor & shoddy she didn't want to take credit for it! Fortunately, I work in Facilities & have had many opportunities to share the experience with other coworkers & industry professionals and refer them elsewhere. I will be the first to say my roommate's house has a lot of problems, its run down, but this bathroom was remodeled by people who didn't care about their workmanship & its abundantly clear in the photos taken the day Tom left after arguing this was as good as anyone would do. 3 times my roommate had to demand the painters come back because they did such a crappy job. If you saw it yourself (contact me, I'll be happy to share pictures & offer better referrals), you would think my friends painted it & say, man, yall should have hired some professionals! On the tub, there were two different colors of caulk used. It's messy & my roommate confronted Tom about it several times-he told her it was the best they could do & anyone who does this would have the same results. You can barely push on the shower wall but hear it cave in, stick to the hardy plank behind it & pop back up. She pointed that out too & Tom actually told her don't worry it's glued down real good around the edges. I'm not takin' it off now! Seriously?! I will give credit that they came up w/some solutions to the walls being uneven around the vanity & chose good quality parts, but the actual work they did is just embarrassing. We feel like we were ripped off in the worst way & taken advantage of since we did complain repeatedly, send photos of our concerns to Lucy & were basically bullied into backing down because they were just too busy to deal with our small project! When Lucy came & did the initial quote my roommate told her she didn't want it painted or tiled and that money was an issue. Lucy pushed & insisted on including the costs in the quote anyway-we asked for a breakdown & couldn't get one; Lucy guaranteed we'd be happier having them do it. We both really wish we'd not backed down to her bullying & done it ourselves! Tom again said after the 3rd time the painters came back that nobody would cut a line straighter than this! There's paint on shower walls (he says, well, just scrape it off  Um, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have to scrape it off!), paint running over the line where the tile meets the wall, door frame/ceiling look horrendous. But L&M will no doubt be quick to tell you they use contractors for that & can't control them...Lucy had to come out herself to fix some plumbing issues because they were so busy (doing one job at a time HA!) that she couldn't get her go-to guy to come do it for her. He had to come anyway the next day. Nobody who visits sees that work though, they see the tacky paint lines, the messy caked on caulk that's different colors, the gaping openings where the side panels of the shower should meet. You can't convince me water's not getting in there like Tom claimed. There are huge gaps where two of the walls meet that weren't caulked at all, much less in different colors! L&M overcharges for the quality, doesn't care about their actual customers wants/requests & steamrollers you into paying for what L&M will get the most money for, adding on extra things you specifically said you didn't want while talking down to you like you're a complete moron until you give in & agree stupidly thinking that, as professionals, they must know best. They rush through jobs without taking care of the things that are most noticeable cosmetically.My roommate actually asked Tom point blank: Tom! If this were in your home, would you leave it like this? he sheepishly said, Well, no I wouldn't so she said, ok, then don't expect me to accept it in mine! She complained & let him know she was not happy, she'd already emailed Lucy several times about concerns, including photos (we still have the emails too) & everytime it was just pushed off. They made her feel so inferior that it just became easier to get them out!Having the messes & carelessness fixed doesn't even matter anymore but we are both making absolutely sure to share this with everyone we meet & let them know this is not the place they want to take their business to. I'm glad I've had the opportunity to keep at least 4 people from taking business here simply by showing them the photos.
