Best Businesses in Texas

Had them replace a garbage disposer last month after mine died. Fast and courteous. I would use them again.

OUTSTANDING!!!!!  The man knows his trade and craft and if need be, will research the project (he called the state housing board to get information on my issue) to ensure everything is done properly.  He even answers his own phone (unless involved in a project)!!  A true gentleman.....extremely personable. Is honest......and listens to you (now there's a rarity among many professionals).  I almost wish for more plumbing issues so he could return and continue a business and friendly relationship.

This company is 5 star! They are professional,  and willing to go above and beyond. We called them out  about our hot water not turning off in the spare bathroom shower. After he took it apart he was able to clean out the calcium buildup  and saved us a TON of money! We will be a lifetime customer!

NTX left me hanging with a half-finished job. I won't be using them again.  I was referred to them by a contractor that I respect so I thought I'd give them a try. Long story short they came out, gave me an estimate and we scheduled a date to do the work.  One week prior to the job I provided them with the manufacturers installation instructions because every water filtration system is a bit different.  NTX didn't bother to view the information.  Half way through the job I realized that the installation was going all wrong.  The plumber said he's order the part and finish the job ASAP.  One week passed and I got no updates so I followed up and the message I got was sorry we can't finish your job.

Service professionals at its finest...

We had a clogged shower drain that needed some professional attention. Called Speakes in the morning and they stated they would fit us in after lunch... They completely delivered on their commitment.

The gentlemen were here for 25-30 mins and had the problem fixed right away. Asked if there was anything else that we needed. Presented us with the bill and said thanks for the business (not too many service companies understand how that part works).

I would recommend this company to anyone that needs plumbing help!!!

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.

Quick response. Thank you!  The plumber appeared in less than an hour and fixed the problem. Polite and efficient. We recommend this company.

This is by far the worst company i worked with. the receptionist is rude. they charged me without my authorization and I will take them to the licensing body in the state of Texas due to their unethical work

Great and quick service! DJ responded to my request quickly and fixed my kitchen's broken pipe within an hour! He is very nice and friendly!

We had multiple plumbers out to our house to fix a toilet and they all recommended a very expensive double cleanout installed in the front of our house where the assumed the sewer pipe ran out to the street. Randy came, ran the camera, and discovered we already had a double cleanout on the side of the house through which he could access any point in the house. He saved us $7500, and getting our front yard dug up for no reason.  All the guys that came out from RWD were very polite and professional, and great to work with. And they were fair on price too. 100% recommend.

Very professional. Had a few issues. One toilet stopped working after it was pulled out but a was able to repair myself (they were unaware of the issue). I recommend getting the quote on paper as there was an issue with what was quoted and what was charged but we were able to come to a compromise in just a few minutes of talking it through.
Al in all very good experience. I would use this group again

Our kitchen floor had felt warm for several weeks, then one Saturday we came home and found water slowly coming up around the cabinets.  We called another plumbing company but they couldn't come out until that next Tuesday.  That company, however, gave us The Plumber's info, and Curt (the owner) himself was out at our house within a couple hours. He thoroughly investigated and found that we had a hot water Slab Leak...  He was very personable and professional, took the time to explain everything to us, gave us a flat price to fix it (which was better than we had feared), and started to work right then.  He fixed our leaking pipe, (buried four feet below), and only had to break  ONE 17 Travertine tile to fix it!  Amazing!!!  He protected our property with plastic sheeting while he worked, and did a great job cleaning up as well.  He was Fast, Fair, and a very good plumber.  Highly Recommended!

At 1:30 pm I placed a call to Lex's plumbing about replacing a garbage disposal in our rental house. Our renters said that it was leaking out of the bottom of the disposal. I spoke to Selena at Lex's about pricing if I were to purchase the garbage disposal myself and if they were to put one of theirs in. I decided to pick one up to make it an easier install. Surprisingly, she told me that someone could be out the same day in between 4pm and 6pm. I also, called her back with a question about different horsepowers of garbage disposals while I was at Lowe's and she was extremely helpful in assisting me with the purchase of the best one. At 4:30pm my tenant and I received a follow up call from Selena when the  technician was 45 minutes out. The technician was very professional and polite when he arrived while he put on his boot covers at the front porch. He completed the install and gave us some tips on how to care for the new disposal. He cleaned up underneath the sink and all around where he was working. He asked us if there was anything else that needed to be done before he left. I wish that I could remember his name but I will make sure that I use Lex for any other plumbing needs that may arise for my own house or our rental in the future!!

Thanks Lex!

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.

Good Fellas responded to my text, made it to my house the same day and replaced my outdoor faucet at a reasonable price with professional. Don't hesitate to call these Good Fellas for your plumbing needs.

Cody and his assistant arrived within the hour, as promised.  They were courteous and professional.  
The team cleaned up and had the clog removed in less than an hour.  
Will use them again, if needed.

5pm. Friday afternoon. Frantic phone call from child. Flooded bathrooms, more water coming if ANY water is used elsewhere in the house.
7pm. Roger arrives. Takes a look and tells me it's not as bad as what I thought (I thought slab leak).
9pm. Problem solved.  Washing machine running, toilets flushing, nothing backing up in the tub or the front porch.  
Friendly, professional, fast, courteous, and didn't gouge my pocket book for a HOT August Friday night fixing my problem.  I will never EVER call anyone else.  If only he was an electrician also!

I hate to be negative to a family man, but... he's good, nice, and competitively priced.  However, if you need a plumber for a specific time/day, he can't always deliver.  Since he's a one-man-band, he can't please the next customer waiting which isnt good if you're the one waiting... and waiting...and waiting... for a day or two.

About that Lifetime Warranty:  Our local franchise went out of business before we noticed problems.  I called the headquarters several times. No one ever answered my calls or returned them. I emailed them multiple times without ever getting a response. I called the franchises closest to my house which told me they couldn´t help (in their defense, each of them are 4 hours away and not responsible for the original work).

I saw on Olshan´s website that they advertised a 4+ star rating from a company I had never heard of.  I went there and told my story... and my review was pulled because Olshan disputed it! After not answering/returning my calls and emails, they had the NERVE to dispute my review. After a back and forth with that rating company where I had to provide multiple pieces of evidence that I was a real customer with a real issue, my review got restored to that site.

The whole experience left me thinking that they are not honorable.  I would advise others to seek help elsewhere.

I hate to leave  bad reviews  but when large sums of money are involved I feel I should put it out there  in order to protect those who might be more naive.

Our heating went out and we called out this company. The technician was friendly , polite and on time. He checked out our heating. Within minutes it was diagnosed and he needed this part and that part and it was going to be $1900.

He was given his call out fee and his services were no longer required.

You see while I may have paid that amount because I knew no better,  my husband is way more technical and already knew all the prices for  factory new parts. While he could not figure out exactly what was wrong with the heating, he certainly knew what it wasn't and the technician was way off.

Needless to say we called in another company . The defect did not  require any expensive parts and it was a quick, cheap and easy job.

Incompetent or greedy/ unethical?

Not sure it matters  because all are equally as bad.

I beleive the owners when they say they want to provide great customer service. They want to succeed after all but gouging customers might present a short term yield through  those who know no better  and go ahead and  pay up but its not good long term business.

If the technicians  are working on a commission basis that might need a rethink.
