Best Businesses in Austin, TX

Talk about responsive, fast, reliable and precise...just as the name implies!  Kevin is a true professional who knows how to find those hidden leaks.  Without him, we would have never found the broken pvc outside.  Another leak company in the area quoted me $800 as well as not being able to come out for three (3!!!) weeks.  Kevin was out the next day, found the leak and even dug to expose it (in limestone and gravel I might add!).  Charge?  $450, almost half of what the other guys wanted.  I cannot recommend him enough.  Also, he gave me a recommendation for a plumber...Bluebonnet Plumbing out of SA.  Again, an outstanding, family owned small business.  I am going to leave my 5 star for them next.

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.

I'm a new client of Ross Plumbing.  Clint replaced a damaged copper line with PEX - supporting a recirculating hot water pump attached to my water heater.  Ross Plumbing scheduled me quickly, and the repair is awesome.  Clint was knowledgable, super friendly and the price was fair.  Ross Plumbing is my go-to plumber moving forward.  Thank you again Clint!

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!!

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

I moved to the area recently and was happy to find Greenshire Handyman. AJ was very responsive, arrived on time and installed my front storm door quickly.  I'm very happy with the results and will definitely reach out to for assistance with other home projects I need completed!

So this is the place that plumbers will go to find solutions to fixing things as opposed to throwing away and buying a new one.  I had to do some work on an rv's water system, these gentlemen sold me the filter I needed, that no one else is town had.  Great can do people!!!

Danny is fantastic!  You can give him your list and just not have to worry about it.  I started a handyman business myself and from time to time we get really busy and I know I can call Danny and he will take really great care of my clients.  I cannot say enough about the level of professionalism Danny brings to the table.  He can do almost anything and he's very creative when it comes to solving problems.  He's my go to guy and my clients all love him.

Thanks for all your help Danny.  I'll be in touch.

If I could give Kent and his team at AAA 10 stars, I would! What started as a horrible experience turned into amazing! Kent called me and we talked and they came out and fixed what needed fixed.
I was very impressed with the level of customer service that was shown to us. I spent 5 years working in HVAC and so I am always happy to see this level of service in the trades.
Kent, if I need anything else done, your company will definitely be the first call that I make (after my home warranty, of course)

Our kitchen sink went from draining slowly to not draining at all. Since the bathroom sink was also slow to empty, we knew it was time for some help. Called San Marcos Plumbing and explained what was happening. The friendly woman said their techs were out on jobs, but she'd check to see if they could come by. She called me within 5 minutes and let me know plumbers could be at my home in about an hour. And they were! They cleaned the trap, and when that didn't work, they augured the line. Within a few minutes, they let me know that water now drained. When they checked the bathroom sink, it was draining as well, apparently cleared when they augured the kitchen line. Bottom line, they were done within an hour. And the charge was very reasonable. Hope we won't soon need plumbers again, but if we do, the first call will go to San Marcos Plumbing!

Pair Plumbing and Septic came out and identified both of my plumbing problems that no one else could find. Their service and expertise was A+. They also cleaned out my septic at a reasonable price in a timely manner. Thank you Pair Plumbing for your customer care and professional service. I will use you again and refer you friends and family. I think the bad review they got sounds more personal than the actual service they provide.

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.

Quick response and plumber was very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend these guys and would use again if I had another issue.

We called because our AC was constantly running and not cooling.  They arrived in time, found all kinds of things wrong with our system and recommended replacement.   The techs arrived in schedule (5-6 techs) and spent the whole day sealing the lines, replaced both furnace and AC unit and other minor things all for $16k.  The new system works great and we keep it set to 80 because 79 is too cold.  After reading the reviews I wonder if we did the right thing.

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!

I was a little skeptical when I saw this company and all the poor reviews it got on Yelp.  I was put in contact with them through my home warranty company like many others.  The plumber, Eddie, contacted us in a pretty timely manner and set up the appointment.  He called me the day of the appt. and showed up about when he said he would.  He went to the master bathroom where our cold water faucet was not working.  He quickly found the problem, which was a pain to fix because a screw and a washer had come off the stem down in the pipe.  He fished them out, unblocked the pipe, put new parts on the stem, and cleaned up the water that had come out on the floor.  He was very persistent and knowledgeable.  There were no extra fees or problems found, and it was just the $75 deductible.  He also gave us some advice on how to keep this happening in the future and why it happened.  I was pleased with the service we received.  Much better than the Country Boys Plumbing that HWA sent out the first time.

avoid l&m at all costs and tell everyone to do the same. i can say, without a doubt, that was one of the most horrible experiences of my life. never in my life have i worked with a team so completely unprofessional, no consideration for the customer, constantly shifting blame to the customer and the worst work ethic (or lack thereof rather) ever.

* lucy lies #1 and 2: work would take 2-3 weeks and that her workers would be sensitive to the fact that someone was living in the house while work was being done.
* lucy lie #3: saying i don't get the final check until you are satisfied twice to which we nodded and replied, okay.
* lucy lie #4: she listed the projects spread out over 3 phases showing work to be completed in 2 weeks (we BOTH have this written out).
* painting needed to be completed BEFORE carpet was put in, so the carpet installation had to be pushed back due to painting taking longer than expected.
* the day of carpet installation was a state holiday, so we were home. the painters arrived at 9am to finish up painting before carpet installer arrived at 10am. we pointed out all area of concern re: paint. they agreed that work needed to be done and seem to be rushing to complete it before carpet installation.
* although carpet was installed, we continued to see areas of concern re: the painting.
* on a DAILY basis, we marked areas of concern with blue painter's tape per lucy's instruction. this continued until the beginning of week 3 at which time lucy asked us to stop placing tape on the walls because it was taking off the paint. i then texted her photos of the areas of concern instead. that day, our blue painter's tape disappeared.
* areas of concern continued to be ignored, so i chose to work from home to PHYSICALLY point out areas of concern.
* lucy lie #5: she said the painters said they had been working at our house every day. i told her i worked from home 2 days and they in fact had not worked at all one of those days. her reply was, oh.
* horrible work ethic example: i'd estimate around 40-50% of the painter's time was spent on the phone; working 2.5 hours was considered a full day; the painter sent his WIFE and DAUGHTER to finish other painting tasks.
* i have photos of an exacto blade on the kitchen table; fast food cups left around the house; nails all over the floor of the garage (which we have to enter multiple times daily since it's been serving as our storage area and we've had to live out of boxes this entire time while they work); photos showing work areas ignore time and time again; the instance in which they placed 50-60 pounds of wooden and metal bunk bed parts against 2 pieces of art worth over $200,00 (this was another horrible story).
* in our countless walk-throughs, lucy never took notes. her replies would be verbal affirmations of uh huh. okay. yes. right. etc.
* lucy lie #6: when it came to painting the doors, the painters only painted the outside panel of the door; not the inside. i confirmed with lucy that they were in fact supposed to paint both sides of every door. she confirmed yes stating she'd let them know. when i asked the painter if lucy had told them they were to paint both sides of the doors, they replied no. we were just supposed to paint the outside. for confirmation i asked again. the painter replied that lucy had not told him to paint both sides. i told him what lucy had told us, to which he replied okay.
* after the first day of painting, i witnessed the painter's son place the shower curtain rod back on the wall that had been primed that day. i assumed there was some painting-professional reason for this and i didn't not question it as it's not my area of expertise. the next day, i saw that the curtain rod remained on the wall and they painted around it. i then removed the rod so that they could paint the entire area.
* lucy lie #7: she said they would remove switch plates and tape over hinges before painting. switch plates were not removed, but instead, being painted on around the edges. i then decided to remove the switch plates.
* lucy lie #8: she said window treatment hardware would be removed from the walls before painting began. i saw they were not removed before painting began, so we removed them from the entire house
* at one point they filled our trash and recycle bins completely leaving no room for us to dispose of our trash and recyclables.
