Best Plumbing Services in Austin, TX

I simply needed my outdated shower and tub fixtures replaced. The plumber pulled some random parts off of his truck and Frankenstiened it becuz the valve needed to be replaced and I guess he didn't want to do that. The handle he put on the existing worked but did not fit (see pic). The handle was wobbley and stuck out 3-4
From the plate. He charged me over $650 for this. When asked to come fix it they wanted to charge me an additional $1500. This was a young company I wanted to give an opportunity for business. I called my usual established company and they came out and made it right  for $220.

I got bids from 5 plumbing companies to replace my water heater.  The Plumbinator not only had the best price, but they used better quality equipment and were able to do the work quickly and cleanly.  The guy who came out and gave the estimate and did the work was very knowledgeable and caught some things that the much older guys from the other companies missed.  He also didn't talk down to me like some of the other guys did.  We just had the city come out to do the inspection and they said everything looks great!  I would definitely use The Plumbinator again.

David went above and beyond when my landlord had neglected to repair and update an early 90s hot water heater in our home and we were without hot water for nearly a week. He was speedy, clear, and layed out all the options in professional and understandable terminology. He made sure we were safe when installing gas and refused to let our landlord cut corners to save a dime and threaten our safety. He walked into our nightmare of repairs made by home handymen and weekend warriors years before us and checked every nook and cranny to identify the problem. I highly recommend David for all of your plumbing needs.

I was really happy with Kimco Plumbing. They answered their phone, showed up to the job on time, they offered me 2 solutions to my problem and had the correct parts stocked on the truck and finished the job in a timely manor. Plus their price was fair. David was the plumber that helped us, he was knowledgeable professional and skilled. I would highly recommend this company!

I am so impressed with the quality of work and attention to detail on the installation of my storm door. Extremely professional and bar none the best phone call I've made for service in MANY years. I will always recommend this company and will continue to use them for years! Polite, reliable, professional - can't beat that.

Called this past week for a backed up main drain in our basement. The person who answered our call gave us an accurate estimate for when the plumber would arrive. He called us when he was about 20-30 minutes out. When he arrived he looked at the issue, explained all the services he'd recommend along with the associated prices. He was very thorough, professional, and knowledgeable. He took care of the backup and made appropriate recommendations for follow up. Very impressed with our emergency after hours care! Definitely recommend and would use them again!

UPDATE:
The Monday after Fairway walked out on the job I paid for,  I called Lowe's to discuss the situation.

After speaking with Lowe's, it is my opinion that Fairway is dishonest. They lied to Lowe's about what actually occurred in my home.

I see 2 young kids here who did not want to finish a job on a Friday night and were unprofessional. They failed to set any expectations whatsoever when they made the appointment about time windows. They failed to communicate much at all - before the appointment or while they were here. They do not appear to understand the meaning of integrity. They completely walked off the job without doing anything that I had scheduled and paid for. They clearly do not value the customer (just their $$). They apparently do not give a (insert curse word here).

Fairway provided Lowe's with a new estimate, just for the oven, and it is OUTRAGEOUS!
- They upped the basic installation of $139 that I paid Lowe's to $200.
- They want $105 to remove/replace platform. That is the plywood under the oven that keeps the oven level. There is nothing wrong with the existing platform.
- They want $75 to cut the wood.
- They want $245 to relocate the gas location to the next cabinet.
- They want $139 to remove & reinstall my existing cooktop over the oven. I guess this is so they can be comfortable while moving the gas line instead of working from a very roomy cabinet entrance.
- So for the bargain price of $764 they will install my oven, but not until after Thanksgiving, since they appear to be too busy with other appointments.
I THINK NOT! Let's not forget the microwave at $140. - so $904 was what they wanted.

Company MISREPRESENTS their values. This is from their website: Fairway is a company that was put together with the consumer in mind. We actually named our company with the term Fair Way after being witness to far too many consumers falling victim to unfair business practices. We deliver a service and product that we believe to be unmatched by anyone in the industry. We protect the consumer by doing the job with quality parts, knowledgeable & licensed professionals and following all the state law's and codes.... We do it the FairWay. We do the customer right. We offer better services at a lower price than our competitors...Most of our competitors talk the talk but don't walk the walk. We under promise and over achieve on every job we do. We have dedicated Employees..... It's the FairWay or no way ....

Are you kidding me???? I would have to say, they have no idea what the word FAIR means! They should rename themselves to UntrustworthyWay and get some orange jumpsuits to match!

--------------------------------------
Side Note - I had my oven and microwave installed today by an appliance installation company that contracts with other Lowe's locations (not the Brodie store) and other appliance retailers. No new platform was needed, they did not need to remove and replace my cook top, and were able to recess the Gas valve. Cost for everything (installation of microwave, oven and recessing the gas line) was $315. Talk about price disparity!

Contacted Ray to replace my kitchen faucet since the original one was still in there.  The house was built in the 60s.  It took a lot of work since original valves were pretty rusted.  Ray did an awesome job replacing the faucet and the garbage disposal. I definitely recommend him.   He's professional and was wonderful work with.  He's my new plumber!!

I typically avoid writing bad reviews. But I just have to throw this out there...If you have any sort of problem that requires immediate attention, or attention that you scheduled, find another provider. I took two days off work waiting for these people to show up. Figured we'd be safe going with a national chain, I was sorely mistaken. Back to Thumbtack we go!

I've never really dealt with major plumbing issues and after a recommendation from a friend I went with Steve and his crew to do tunneling work and replacement of our old cast iron pipes. These guys did a great job and were super helpful and communicative during the entire process. I'd reccomend Steve's Plumbing to anyone who needs plumbing work and wants the job done right and fast. Highly recommended!

Had a great experience with Paul from Confidence Plumbing when purchasing and installing our water heater. I ran across them elsewhere online and filled out a form with no expectation of a prompt response. I got a call a half hour later asking if I was available for them to stop in, see what I needed, and put in a bid. I ended up accepting their bid and Paul was able to come back the next day (today) and do the full install for a competitive price.
He was friendly and thorough, making sure I understood what they needed to do to make up for the previous water heater's poor installation, as well as detailing how the new model worked, and all they had done to bring it up to code - allowing me to check the workmanship, which I was very satisfied with. He's even coming back in a few days once the gas company's been by and turned the gas on to make sure all's well.
I would highly recommend Paul from Confidence Plumbing.

None of the workers are licensed and very very rude. Never get things done in timely matter and leave their trash everywhere. A young girl that is employed chain smoked cigarettes the whole time and was very rude to me.
