Best Businesses in Houston, TX

I had contacted this plumber for issues I had with a leaky faucet and a hot water heater that had gone out.  My tenant had contacted me about these issues and I had noticed on yelp of the stellar reviews.   I decided to give this plumber a try.  Several days ago, I had a bathroom faucet changed out.  My tenant had noticed that it was leaking afterward.  I figured either the tubing or rubber gasket in the tubing had worn out and needed replacing.  Since I am usually at work and unable to fix this in timely manner,  I hired this company to do the job.  Later, that day my tenant notified me that the plumber had came and left, but had charged her $99.  The faucet itself however was not fixed.  He had only came out for diagnosis only.  I would have to reschedule him later if I wanted him to fix leak.  I was a little annoyed as I would have to make new arrangement for him to return and fix issue on problem I had already deduced.  I didn't need him to tell me solution I had already figured out.  Several days later, I had another plumber assist me with this.  He picked up couple of tubings from Home Depot and had this fixed in less than an hour.  

As regard to the hot water heater, the plumber had recommended that I replaced the fire burning assembly.  Since he had difficulty finding the part, he diagnosed that one solution is to replace the entire hot water heater.  I researched online and came to conclusion that the hot water heater unit does not need replacing, just the thermocouple.  After watching several YouTube videos, I realized that replacing the thermocouple is a simple process.  The part is readily available at Home Depot for ~$12.   I replaced the damaged thermocouple and had the hot water heater up and running in about an hour.  Though this is not the recommended way of fixing my problem and likely voided any warranty per the manufacturer and plumber, I was able to save over $1000.  I was fine with that as the unit is over 9 years old and likely had no more warranty.  If my tinkering didn't fix the problem, I was willing to replace the entire unit.  Luckily, I didn't need to do that.  In the process I was able to gain an understanding of the inner working of a hot water heater.  From a plumbers point of view, I could understand his stance as he was only following manufacturer's recommended process.  

Though this plumber might be excellent at what he does, sometimes a quick research online might save you lots of money for simple DIY projects.

Hot water heater failure. I contacted Acosta and got a thorough inspection and it was determined that  a replacement was needed . I was given fair,  honest pricing and the job was delivered as agreed , on time and very professionally!

These guys were prompt, easy to communicate with and did a great job. polite and respectful of my home environment as well.

An example of great customer service: Called today to see if Gary or one of his coworkers could come by and take a look at our disposal, which had stopped working a few days ago. Never having had to deal with it before, I was unaware how easy the solution was, and rather than take advantage of the situation, Gary talked me through the basic steps over the phone. No charge. My disposal works again and I've found a plumber I can truly trust!

I woke up at 3am and saw that I had a water leak. It turned out to be my Hot water line. I turned off the water and later in the morning I call a different plumbing company and they came out and wanted $1500 and THEN charge more to replace the drywall they cut out. I was referred to Right Choice Plumbing and called them and they took great care of my plumbing. I called him at close to 5pm fully  expecting to be told they can't come out until the next day. When I told him it was the hot water line he came out that night and fixed it within no time. I will not call the big plumbing company that takes full advantage of people, instead I will call Right Choice Plumbing. They absolutely live up to their business name!!!  Thank you so much for your help.

Installed a reverse osmosis filter for me.  Cristian was very professional and even wore booties I'm the house.  He did an excellent job, was professional and I will be using them again.  I recommend them for your plumbing needs.

Very happy with response and service from Kim at Drain Control. He responded quickly with the best price for a camera inspection of my lateral line and came the same day. He showed me the the screen and described the issues along the way. At one point the obstruction prevented the camera from going further so we discussed using the auger and he told me what the additional cost would be before he did it. The auger opened up the line enough for the camera to show the root problem along the line and to show a major obstruction near the sidewalk.  Kim described the water jet process and gave me a price that would include everything.  I felt the price was fair and he wasn't piling on one service after another to jack up the price.  He combined the services and gave me a two year guarantee.

After the water jet process, the camera showed a completely clean drain line all the way into the middle of the street where it connects to the city sewer line.  All the roots and the major obstruction near the sidewalk were completely gone. A great tool and great service!

The final price I paid was only slightly more than most companies quoted me just to run the camera down the line.

Hugo was on time, knowledgeable and very neat.  Had a door that would not lock due to an older home on a crawl space, Hugo knew exactly what to do! He was quick and verbally told me everything he was going to do. This is a handyman that I will definitely keep the number of!  Can't go wrong with this guy!

I sent a message via Yelp at 11 PM on Friday night for large leak in my kitchen they responded within 30 minutes and came out the next morning! They were very easy to get a hold of and communicate with,they did not charge extra for coming on the weekend, and their price for fixing was extremely fair. I would highly recommend them they are very honest and very reasonable. Thank you again for all of your help!

Honest. Great service. Love companies like this because they can do it all. I needed a new seal around my toilet but once they were at my house I kept asking about other services that I had been procrastinating. Before it was all over my house was as good as new. And those were all things that I inquired about, not things that I was told that I needed to do. Big difference. And some of the projects I asked about  I was told I could do myself and was even given specific directions how to do the job like a pro. This is my new go to service company.

If there is something around the house that needs repair, chances are City and Beyond can get it done.A+

No hot water to the guest room tub. Called Texas Plumbing and a serviceman came out the next day. James correctly identified the problem and fixed it, in time for our guests to take a hot bath. We were quite satisfied with his work.

Contacted them to provide quote on exterior gas connection. Arrived several hours late to appointment for quote. Upon inspection of job they provided quote over phone. I called back later to request written quote and said I was interested in proceeding with work. I was then told the owner was no longer interested in the job with no further explanation. This was quite frustrating as I had explained what I wanted before they came out to provide quote in first place. I guess the job wasn't big enough for them (though it certainly isn't cheap to do anything with your gas lines).

My sink had sprung a leak! I called First Aid and they responded within minutes and came out first thing in the morning. They were quick, efficient and made excellent recommendations. They were respectful, super clean and friendly. Best plumbing experience I've had. They even did a little extra! I highly recommend.

Requested a quote and sent pictures on installing a toilet. Cairo came out and did an awesome job installing it on a hard tile floor after removing the old flange that broke off. They did a wonderful job and highly recommend them and will use them again.

This guy was the only one who responded to my Yelp request for water heater repair. The others never responded or said they only work on what they install. Even though the issue hasn't been fixed, I like to acknowledge this guys responsiveness and eagerness to win your business.

So glad Yelp was here to point the way to JD Precision Plumbing Services! We had a plugged toilet that was backing up into the stall shower next to it. The more we plunged, the more it backed into the shower. Then we realized our other toilet in another part of the house was barely flushing too and a bit of water was coming out of the tub next to that. Because of the stellar reviews on Yelp, we made our first call to JD Precision at 8:30 PM on Friday night and our information was taken immediately by a real receptionist who was kind and very helpful. After agreeing to a $100 emergency fee for someone to come out that night, she transferred me to an actual JD plumber (Dustin) who was at our home less than an hour later. To my surprise, he didn't even need to come inside. He fixed everything from an outside access pipe to our house plumbing system. He was able to auger out a root ball that had been blocking everything. Pretty reasonably priced after all was done. Dustin was extremely professional and able. If you have a plumbing need or emergency, this is the company to call.

They first and foremost keep petitioning to delete my review. They botched a sink repair that I ended up having another company actually finish the work. They then did not want to refund me or reimburse me.
Jean is rude and not very transparent. Neither is Kelly, they both don't truly care about the work they do, just how much extra they can upcharge you for mediocre to moderate service. I will never use someone who charges $400.00 to install a sink that I bought, only to mess it up and I have to then get another company to do so. If you see these trucks, run for the hills.

Leaves tools behind on jobs and fails to hook up drain lines. We had to call up another company to finish their job. Poor service.

I assume that in the other websites where Abacus is getting good reviews and five stars, they must be paying the website in order to filter the bad reviews.

These are not repair people, they are sales people. Literally, five minutes after arriving at our house, the guy was already offering to change the whole unit for $18K and dead set on having us apply for a credit. Nothing was repairable according to him. In reality, it was a simple $100 repair.

If you want a salesman and feel like spending a fortune, call Abacus. If you need a real AC tech, you need to call someone else.
