Best Plumbing Services in Austin, TX

They are professional and do decent work. However, their fees are too high. Ask anyone in Smithville.
I had them do a couple of repairs. Afterwards, someone at the office called to check to see if I was satisfied. I said that one of the issues didn't appear to be fixed. They sent someone to follow up and that person spent a few minutes checking it out before determining there was no problem. Then they charged me an additional $60 for that. Their office is literally 5 blocks from my house and I spent a good chunk of change for the work already. Oh, and the problem they double checked persists.

Erick is an honest, hard working and reliable master plumber that offers fair prices for quality work.  He has helped me with several plumbing projects and he is the only plumber I would call for any issue big or small.

This guy knows his business!  And his prices for emergency service are more than reasonable.

I had a stopped up drain. He snaked it out in less than 30 minutes packed up and was gone down the road. Simple job, he didn't make a big thing out of it

Me. Plumber did an outstanding job today for an extremely reasonable price.  I am very satisfied with the quality of their work and the care they took with my house.  Very highly recommend these guys.  Formerly Steve's Plumbing!  Rosendo and his helper are awesome for sure.

My summary of my review is:  Texas A/C Specialist goes the extra mile for the customer.

This is my 2nd review for Texas A/C Specialist.  My original review was rated low, and I have come back to document my 2nd experience with them.  (service call for minor repair)

First of all, I received a phone call from the new Service Manager, Martin,  prior to the technician arriving.  He knew that I was not the happiest of customers, and wanted to introduce himself, and inform me about the new processes that are in place, to ensure customer satisfaction.   Martin was extremely professional,  listened to my concerns, and updated the technician before the service call.   This level of customer service was a complete 180, from my previous experience.  

The technician (Robert) arrived on time, and promptly introduced himself.   It took him about 20 minutes to diagnose and fix the problem.  Robert then took the time to walk me through basic maintenance, that the owner can do to keep their unit running smoothly.   I thought this customer service was above and beyond, and I really appreciated it.  

In summary, if you have had a previously bad experience with TX AC Specialist,  I urge you to give then another chance.  Martin will ensure that you get taken care of.

Mike has been my plumber for years except for a period when I lost his phone number and tried the number posted on Yelp.  His business is NOT closed.  It was just my good luck that I ran into him one day and got his number again.  As great a plumber as he is, he simply does not advertise beyond having a business card.  His phone number is 512-626-8036.  Do yourself a favor and hang onto that number.

Anthony from Affordable Plus Plumbing has replaced the garbage disposal & the kitchen sink faucet on 2 separate visits. On both visits he has been very professional & the service has been quick & efficient. He is a good communicator who shares info & provides recommendations. Definitely will use this company for future plumbing needs as they arise!

Jimmy showed up right on time and answered all questions I had.  Quality workmanship on our plumbing needs.

German gets the work done nicely! I'm glad to recommend Mill Hill construction to everyone on the home improvement projects / construction projects.

Olen & Tovar were very professional during the repair for my sewer system. I highly recommend 1st Home & Commercial Services.

Caleb and Doug are always so helpful and professional.  They have done several jobs at my home and they go the extra mile every time.  When I have questions they both don't hesitate to reach out and help.  A+ customer service.  I highly recommend Alamo Water Softeners.

They over charged for the repair and did poor quality work.  They also burned PVC pipes next to the copper pipes they sweated.  Stay away from this company.

Buyer Beware: Price Gouging at a laughable rate. Honestly they seem to be looking for first time home buyers, Californians who they think will pay exuberant prices, etc.

I had them give me an estimate, for a small but professional project of removing a 8ft long quarter wall and replacing it with railing. I would also be providing the materials. Their quote $13,500.00.  These guys have to be high.

I called just to make sure that wasn't a typo. After they confirmed that was the correct price and that they are indeed high (joking, I don't think they were actually high, who knows though). I decided to go with another company.

Tip for GSI:
- you gotta at least be competitive in your market. If I have 4 companies send in quotes and 3 are around 3k-4K range and you guys come in at around 14k with material provided that looks bad.

-With Yelp and Google, each companies work and reviews are visible to the public. It is hard to justify why your work would be 10k more when we can see the quality of past projects

-give these guys some sales training, honestly. It's a bit insulting to a customers intelligence listening to someone try to convince you why the repaint is what justify the 10k difference and sets you apart from competitors.

- if you guys don't have the bandwidth for the project, just simply say you can't help at this time.  It will most likely pan out better then saying I'm too busy, F it - I'll give 'em a crazy price and if they agree we'll do it

Hope these tips help!

Our water heater sprung a leak and needed replaced. Josh came out same day (much to my surprise!) and got us fixed up with a new one. The price was 25% higher than I was quoted elsewhere. They didn't push at all, and offered to leave me with the quote to shop around. They were the first to get to my house though and we needed a fix asap. I'm glad we did, the install was done in just a couple hours and looks great.

One odd note, I originally called Blue Dragon and was automatically forwarded to Plumb Doctors. After some confusion they informed me that they're taking on Blue Dragon's work since he's on a leave of absence. To further confusion, the guys that show up had Plumb Masters shirts on! Turns out they're all the same company. Might consider having a little messaging on the phone line or on yelp or something that these different companies are all under the same banner/owner.

Prompt courteous service. I've used Lanier both in an emergency situation and also for some regular repair work and have found them to be very professional and reliable.

Immediately after purchasing a home built in 1955 with original pipes, a pipe leak began.  I was referred to Claude at C&K for the repair work, and I was very impressed with his diagnosis of the problem and approach to repairing it.  Claude showed up right on time and was able to replace and re-run the piping in a very efficient and clean manner.  Claude has since re-piped our laundry room, replacing a majority of the old galvanized steel piping in the house.  I would definitely recommend C&K and will be using them for future plumbing work.

While. I think Cody did a good job replacing plumbing in my hallway bathroom after demolition, he connected the drain hose on the dishwasher to the air vent which meant the drain was open and dumped lots of water behind cabinets.  We didn't notice the leak for about 6 dishwasher loads and by then mold had set in.  It cost over $2,000 to remove and replace damaged wood in cabinets and floor and Cody would not take responsibility.  I am in the process of filing a complaint with the plumbing licensing board.  He was responsive and timely in the beginning of the work but got defensive and blamed his big error on me, the homeowner, who is not licensed or trained on how to make sure a water drain is connected.

Seriously! I have found my plumber for the rest of the time I live in Elgin (although I hope to never need him again). So it turns out I did not have a slab leak, instead the builder put the water line UNDER the driveway! It is about 1 1/2 feet in. My roommate dug and dug until he found the leak and cleaned the area all around it. I called Mike and let him know what was going on. He went staright out to my house, fixed the leak and called me to tell me it was $100 even and he would just leave me a bill. He also said if I leave him the paperwork from the city to try to recoup some of my super high bill, he would sign it and leave it on the front door.
After speaking to so many plumbers in the past few weeks it is refreshing to know I have a good, honest plumber I can count on from now on!
