Best Businesses in Dallas, TX

Delighted with CTC professionals. The electrician arrived prepared to quote and do the installation of a circuit needed to recharge my Tesla efficiently. He examined the panel, is certified for work on Tesla power solutions,  and gave me a detailed quote for the work parts and labor. I approved the reasonable quote and the paperwork was all done on his iPad and sent to me for signature. He was fastidious in keeping his wall cuts aesthetically pleasing and appropriate for the task. He finished the work in short order. We tested the charging station and it has been running smoothly ever since. I look forward to my next project with CTX!

Numerous calls, voicemails and text messages were left, all of which went unanswered. It's been a few weeks and still no response. The only reason I gave two stars and not one, is two separate people recommend this company (that is if you can reach them). Don't waist your time by calling, only for your messages to land on deaf ears.

Great experience with NTX Plumbing.  Fast response scheduling an appointment, prompt arrival and very professional/courteous service by Brian.  When you have to call a plumber these folks have top notch service.

Jr's is absolutely the best plumber in town! They were very nice, personable, and knowledgable about all things plumbing. I was so worried when we had a leak from our upstairs bathroom draining into our downstairs laundry room, but Jr's was able to diagnose and fix the issue promptly. They did such a great job for an honest price that I had them fix my kitchen disposal as well. They are honest, reliable, and I trusted them in my home. Without a doubt, Jr's will be getting a call if I (or my family) have any future plumbing issues.

So about a month ago, one afternoon I walked out into my garage and saw a rather sizable puddle of water in the middle of the floor.  Huh??  I looked around (why, I don't know).  Then I looked up.  Oh f@#k!  I ran upstairs and opened the door to the attic space where the water heaters and one of the hvac systems is located and there it was - water coming out of a small hole in a pipe by one of the water heaters.  Water was shooting out horizontally, hitting a wall, and running downward - through the ceiling of my garage.  I tried to turn off the water supply to the water heater, but nothing happened.  Panic!

Anyway, I didn't have a plumber that I liked (I deal with almost all the tradespeople who have to come to our house - poor things - and I decide who will come back).  I'd tried about three since we moved here, but none of them screamed 'I want to be your regular plumber'.  So I called my regular HVAC company and asked them to recommend someone and they gave me the number for Arty's Plumbing.  I called Arty's and explained my problem to the person who answered and guess what?  He actually sounded concerned about my emergency and said someone would be there within an hour.  In less than an hour, Frank arrived, assessed the problem, turned off the water to the water heaters and to the house and proceeded to repair the leak.  From the time I found the puddle in the garage to the time the problem was fixed was less than three hours, and that included Frank having to make a trip for a piece of hardware.

AND, the cost was very reasonable (I thought).  When he handed me the bill, I couldn't believe it was so low.  And Frank was very nice.  He also either didn't make a mess or he cleaned up after he was done.  Either way, there was no mess for me to deal with.

AND after all this, the worst thing we have is a water stain on the garage ceiling.  My car (that was just washed that morning for the first time in a couple months) didn't even get dripped on.  Now how lucky is that?!

Anyway, they don't know it yet, but Arty's Plumbing is now my regular plumber.  I sure hope they don't scare easily...

Nathaniel is by far the best plumber I have ever worked with, he is very professional and reasonably priced.  We have had a few random things go wrong recently and he is very responsive, shows up on time and gets the job done.  I would highly recommended him!

Great service. Honest and very dependable. Would definitely use again and I highly recommend. Mark was honest about what needed to be done and I value that very much. Thank you

Came to my rescue at 1030pm on a Friday night and cleaned out my clogged line in under an hour.  Wonderful service, very professional and skilled.  So glad I was referred to them.

I spoke with Roger and even though I didn't use their company I appreciate his honesty and willingness to help.

I was delighted this morning to hear a strong rainstorm with water pouring on my kitchen window. BUT it was not rain. It was a busted water spigot.

Yelp is not just for food reviews. I immediately found Speake's Plumbing and read the outstanding reviews, so I called Speake's.

This could have been a very complex and expensive repair that would have involved immense damage to my siding. But plumbing genius Garlan made a replacement with a special kit he had in his truck.

The whole issue was resolved in less than 20 minutes after his arrival and it only cost $189. God answered my prayers with Speake's plumbing.

In addition to the comfort and trust Speake's provided, Garlan was personable, professional and knew his trade. $189 is a bargain what could have been catastrophic flooding and damage.

I would recommend Speake's over any plumbing company in the Metroplex.

Abe of Strittmatter Plumbing, Heating, and AC repaired the water main line to my home and I could not be happier with everything about his work and his demeanor! Abe was very professional, always on time, extremely knowledgable, and very clearly FAIR and HONEST (which is So, SO important to me!). Abe did excellent work on what was a fairly complicated job. I felt like I was in such good hands from start to finish. And that's exactly how I like to feel when somebody's working on my home. For me, that feeling of confidence and trust is worth everything! The support staff at Strittmatter was also completely above and beyond -- they were EXCEPTIONAL -- in regards to their personal approach, their kindness, professionalism, timeliness, helpfulness, you name it. They were really, really great! Thanks so much, Abe and Outstanding Staff, for being so competent, professional, knowledgable, and HONEST! You really warmed my heart. Truly.

Elsewhere (not on Yelp) I saw a few favorable reviews for Benton Plumbing of Benbrook, so I took a chance and called them about a leaky faucet (not an emergency).

The receptionist told me that they had an opening for the next Tuesday (I had requested a Monday or Tuesday appointment). She said the plumber would arrive between 11 and noon.

Tuesday, 10:45 a.m., Benton's called, saying the plumber was on his way. He (Paul) arrived at 11 sharp. He fixed my two bad faucets quickly (he did have to go to a nearby hardware store to get the proper fittings for my particular faucets).

Very reasonable charge ($85 per hour, plus parts).

I was very pleased! I asked for extra cards so I could spread them around the house (I tend to lose such cards).

Highly recommended!

Updated May 15, 2014: I have had occasion to use Benton's two more times since my original review. The review stands. Excellent service indeed!

My water heater was leaking so I called hole in one based on my friends recommendation. They were able to come to my house and install a new water heater that very same day. Jeffrey was prompt courteous and answered all my questions. I now refer hole in one to all my friends

We had a plugged laundry drain. He was the only one who would give a direct estimate for repair and see us the same day. 20 minutes later, drain was unplugged same day and we were able to use it. Would recommend him wholeheartedly.

I've worked with Mark and had a great experience.  So yesterday when I noticed a hissing sound in my wall I called him immediately.  He had Austin and Eli come out that same day.  They diagnosed the issue and worked on a resolution.  They were able to make the repair yesterday before the end of the day.  They were both so knowledgeable and polite!  I also felt the pricing was very fair.  I would recommend RWD to anyone with plumbing or slab leak issues! Great job!

True Plumbing is AWESOME! From start to finish, the service was seamless. Sheila was friendly and was able to schedule us immediately. Cameron was on time, professional, and friendly. With no success, we've had two other plumbers come by within the last two years. Cameron found issues that other plumbers were not able to find. He thoroughly explained the problems and the cost. True Plumbing provided excellent customer service, a fair price, and quality work. We will definitely use True Plumbing for any future needs!

You can tell they know what they are doing. Did a great job. I will use them again next time I need a plumber for anything.

I'm not sure where we came up with their card, probably from a neighbor, but when we needed a cartridge replaced inside the knob for our tub, we gave them a call. First thing to rub me the wrong way was that he 30 minutes late for our 9am-12pm window. I took off a morning of work for this and I understand you drove from wherever and there was traffic, but give me some notice so I can give my office some notice.

I told him where the water shut-off was for our building, and he disappeared outside for 20 minutes. Once he gets back upstairs he starts going over the costs with me, before he starts the work.  I definitely appreciated that because the cost BLEW ME AWAY.  He wanted $582 to replace a $25 cartridge and a $35 knob. He wanted approximately $330 for the actual repair, $175 for what he described as the labor for walking from [my] unit on the 2nd floor, to the water-shut-off valve on the 1st floor. Which, coincidentally, was less than 50 feet from where he had parked his truck.

Finally, he wanted $79 for some kind of warranty service plan that gave me a discount on any future visits. I told him to remove the warranty; I didn't need it. But, without the discount the warranty provided, the cost of the repair went up to $400 and the labor went up to $190. With the discount plus the cost of warranty it would have only saved me $10 total. What a scam! Not to mention he had quite an attitude that I would question his pricing methods. I sent him on his way. He might have done a stellar job, but it wouldn't have been worth that price. I was willing to pay a little extra to not have to go to the trouble myself, but $582.00 for a plumber versus $60.00 at Home Depot is a no-brainer.

AWFUL. Dealing with Olshan was the most horrible customer service experience of my life. Everyone was polite on the surface, but they strung me along for MONTHS before they finally stopped responding to my emails and phone calls altogether. Olshan wanted my neighbors to sign a ridiculous form allowing Olshan workers to access their property, but saying that no matter what the workers did, my neighbors could not hold Olshan accountable. Obviously no one is going to sign a form like that. I pointed this out to my Olshan contacts. As I said above, they then strung me along for months with promises that they would take care of the problem, and I could rest assured that my repair job - now months overdue - would be prioritized as soon as everything was cleared up. Needless to say, they never fixed anything with their contract. Eventually they simply stopped responding to my queries for the status of the contract and my repair job in general. Now I've wasted months. They're awful.

Do not use this company. Our upstairs unit stopped cooling. We had a guy come out and he didn't have the right tool for our valve caps to check Freon and after sending a picture to several other companies who also didn't have the tool, I was recommended to call this company because they are a big outfit and we're likely to have the tool.

Sam and I believe Michael came to my home and also didn't have the tool. They said they could change the fittings to something more universal which was great. They then came into my home and Michael walked right into my laundry room and did not leave after I asked him to get out and use a different sink because I didn't know what my wife had laying around drying in there.

Sam went up and looked at our units and basically told us everything was wrong and immediately started talking about a replacement unit. We had to press to get a repair option and he gave us a total of 10k to repair without any explanation of parts or a breakdown of costs all while saying replacement is the better option and kept saying our units are builders grade so they are basically garbage. Basically everything was wrong. I'm okay with an option to replace since the units are 9 years old,but they worked great until a couple days ago, but we all know the type of person that's trying to sell you rather than take care of you and that was Sam's approach.

At the end of the interaction I asked him to put it all back how it was and he was reluctant to power the unit outside but kept changing his story as to why. We put 2 lbs of refrigerant in there's no refrigerant in the unit well it will be gone within a couple hours. I just wanted it how it was before. Maybe a leak in the coil but it was blowing coolish air even if the temp wasn't dropping. Also while a replacement unit could be installed the next day, they would wait a week after getting parts to repair. So transparent.

Outside of the sleazy sales process to the service call, there were several aspects that made me uncomfortable to include bringing up the recent shooting as a form of small talk which was poor tact. What if I had known someone that was hurt? Either way, that's not a topic I want to discuss with a stranger. I mentioned getting a second opinion and while he was like oh yeah, that's definitely smart. He was visibly uncomfortable, and I learned why the next day. I declined getting a replacement quote because I was not comfortable with their team.

I called another company the next day that had come out before and didn't have the right tool and he came out to look. We walked up to the unit and discovered a#1 had broken off the service port from the king valve! This wasn't disclosed to me after they had been out and no other person had touched the unit in between. After calling to talk to the service manager, I was argued with, dismissed, and they refused to accept responsibility regardless of my photos because they had on the paperwork that sam filled out that there was a leak outside. Sam did not fill out paperwork of findings until after he would have broken the valve so it's now obvious to me why he pushed so hard to replace the unit. He at no point showed me anything with the units or outside to see for myself and tried to take advantage me and my family. Sometimes people make mistakes, but you have to do the right thing.

Take your business elsewhere. This company is not trustworthy.
