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.

Excellent service!! Very happy with his service, very professional... had been having issues with toilets and bathtubs backing up. Other plumbers would just temporarily fix the issue and it kept reoccurring... called Acosta plumbing at 11:00 Am, said he was busy couldn't get to me till the next day. To my surprise, he called me at 3 :00 pm saying he got a cancelation and was on his way! Not only did he fix the issue but after hearing what issues I was having he said and I quote now, I want to know why this keeps happening to you ! Got a cámara and sent it in the pipes, now I know what my issue is!! And he didn't charge me extra!! Because of that, I am working with him to go underground to fix the main issue... very happy with his service!!

John was fast and friendly. He is definitely a drain specialist. He fixed a drain that another plumber couldn't

Renovating my old townhouse, I've had my share of plumbing issues, and encountered more than my share of expensive, incompetent plumbers. But I really like doing business with this company!

Gary and his crew are skilled at what they do. And I think their competence allows them to do good work quickly, so they don't have to charge an arm and a leg.
I've hired them to repair existing plumbing, and to install fixtures and appliances, and I always felt the pricing was fair.
Response time is as good as it gets, especially for emergencies.

This is just a well run business.

Audits fixed 3-4 burst pipes in a single afternoon. Highly recommend. Arrived early to the property and is knowledgeable on plumbing.

Hector did an excellent job trouble shooting my problem, and he was able to fix the noise coming from my pipes. I will definitely use him and his company in the future.

Needed a leaking pipe fixed on a Sunday afternoon in my attic for one of my rental properties. Was skeptical of having someone come out to fix it on a Sunday! Made several yelp inquiries and Kim answered in 10 minutes. Described my dilemma and urgency. He requested pictures and gave me a price. He came out within 30 minutes and within couple hours the pipe was replaced at the exact price he quoted me. This plumber is the real deal and honest! Thanks Kim I'll be using you for future jobs!

We are EXTREMELY happy with the work that Hugo did for us. He installed an outdoor awning and overhead garage storage for us in one afternoon. He made sure to involve us in all the set up specifications (how deep for the storage, what angle for the awning, etc.)

All of a sudden are hot water wasn't working at all. Have never had any issues with something like this before, so I had no idea what to do. I reached out on yelp and got a quick response, then I spoke to them over text. They were very responsive and helpful. Ultimately they just helped me perform a DIY fix at home at no cost to me. Which of course saved me money, but also allowed me to get the fix done faster. Really great folks who are looking to save you money. Would recommend.

My tub wasn't draining and my toilet was leaking from the sides, I found them on yelp and sent a message, they responded within 30 min, I called and got a quote they showed up within 2 hours from the call ( on a Saturday afternoon) they were very friendly and very knowledgeable they explained everything, and exactly what was happening, they showed me every step of their work.
I paid exactly what I was quoted over the phone.
The price was very good and they guaranteed they job also they explain how to do have this problem again.

I will recommend to friend and family !

Extremely disappointed with the communication and professionalism from the owner Nathan. I had Texas plumbing come do a remodel project for my house, moved drains and gas pipes. His men did the work, they were great until I started having issues with the city inspection and a gas leak that seemed to be inconvenient for the owner. I called and texted the owner about the gas leak, but he never reached back out to me. I ended up having to pay someone else to fix his work and was left without hot water for two weeks!!!! I would not hire this company again due to the lack of communication, and complete egocentric attitude he has. I was so sad to find the gas leak when in fact this was his job to check after moving gas lines. communicating with the owner on this project, he was demeaning, over talked me and down right awful. If you hire this company as a woman be prepared to be ignored, not spoken to properly and over talked. Don't use them.

Within a few hours, I had a quote and my job completed. I understand most projects won't be done in this manner, but I had a great experience with them, 10/10 would recommend

Able to respond on time, did great work, very professional and know the code well. Able to repair work just completed by another company that didn't install by codes.

I'll call them the next time I have plumbing work.

Job was done properly and on time (on weekend, but it was not an emergency, so I could have waited). Plumber showed up 5 minutes earlier that scheduled, made recommendations on how to perform the task the right way. Very nice guy, gave me another end elbow for free, just in case. The business owner contacted me in a few days to follow up, very honest, friendly and customer service oriented guy. Will definitely use them again in the future

$480 quote from pictures sent; 30-minute service - main water valve repair. I had to call to schedule an appointment (even after using their chat feature). Guys walked up stating $480 repair without actually looking at the valve.
Also had to call to get a receipt 5 days later. The receipt had no breakdown of parts/services. Just quantity of 1 - $480
Work van said Senior and Vet Discounts... nothing listed on website.
I will shop around next time... my advice is you should do the same.

Family owned company,  not pushy with an amazing response.  Pricing is great and they provide a full service and follow up.  It's nice to see a local company with great customer service.

I have used Alliance Plumbing in the past for a re-route and re-pipe so they were the FIRST people to call when I awoke to noises I determined were coming from my attic. I called Jean and she lined up Augustin Villa to come and diagnose the situation. Lucky for me it was only air that had somehow entered my line and was making one of my lines bang on the beams and framework! And he even showed me how to remedy myself if this was ever to happen again. While he was here I asked him some questions about my water heater purchased in 2008. He gave me a quote, and was able to install a new one right away and educated me on the unit. I am super pleased. They were able to get this delivered to Augustin while he did some prep work and he was fast, courteous and I didn't have to clean up a thing. I cannot say enough good things about Alliance! They take the STRESS and worry AWAY! Thanks team and thank you Augustin!! My new last water heater

We had leak outside the house. Cedric was the technician that showed up to the house. He was very professional and courteous. I showed him where the leak was and he said he would get right on it. He fixed the leak and answered all the questions that I had about it. He even explained a few other details. Over all a very satisfying experience.

We have used Abacus in the past and been mostly satisfied. Our most recent visit was dishonest and felt shady. After being in our home for 20 minutes, a very simple diagnosis and a push of a button, we were charged over $400. But don't worry, he gave us a coupon to bring the price to $350. Oh please.  After reaching out to customer service 3 times, I finally heard back. I was told at the end of the day, I have to pay my guys and this is taking money away from Luis. Not everyone can do electrical work, that's why you pay for someone, even if they only pushA button.    He read me the diagnosis that our technician recorded and 3 of the things were not true and did not happen. So basically the tech can document whatever diagnosis he wants to get the price where he wants. The not so understanding manager gave us a small refund.
