Best Businesses in Texas

Update 3: They reached out to explain it was an invoicing issue and refunded the difference. Thank you.

Update 2: @Pierre: we were told that is your standard flat rate for the job. Nothing out of the ordinary for the job that was done.

Update 1: Had them over twice. They do a good job. However, felt that this time around they were a bit pricey - charged 240$ for a one hour faucet replacement job (I was expecting around 165$).

Also I feel we did not do a good job with our quote request - learning for me for next time. Partly because we had a good experience with pricing the first time we thought it will be fair this time around too.

While I will keep them in mind for future jobs I will also make sure to shop around for other options.

Dave is fast, efficient and conscientious in his work. He replaced my shower faucet, and when it turned out that the manufacturer's valve was defective, he came back to my house and worked with me to finish the job at no extra charge, even though it wasn't his fault. He had to go get a new part and return the old one, and then came back to my place once again to do it right.

This is somebody you can trust - he not only knows what he is doing, but also stands behind his work. Thanks, Dave!

If you're like me and had some water coming up in your tub / shower drains, look no further than Abel to Plumb!

I called 7+ plumbers looking for same day or at least next day service.  Most were booked a week out but I needed service ASAP!  I called Abel to Plumb based on other Yelp reviews and was promptly greeted by Kayla on the phone.  She informed me that they could send someone right away and I should be expecting a call from the plumber shortly.  Sure enough I received a call from Alex asking what time WE would like him to arrive, talk about a pleasant surprise.  Even the plumbers that were a week out were giving me a 3-5 hour window of when they would show up.  Plus as a native Austinite I would much rather support local business given the opportunity!

Alex showed up for our same day appointment right on schedule!  He quickly diagnosed the clog and remedied it like a pro!  He hit a few snags along the way with a part that broke during removal and even had to make a quick run to Home Depot!  He did it all with a smile on his face!  The culprit was nothing out of the ordinary and he gave us a healthy overall report of our pipes!

I will use Abel to Plumb next time I need service and will most certainly recommend them to friends, family and anyone else needing a plumber!

Great service!  I had tried to DIY my clogged sink.  I was unsuccessful in unclogging and was unable to tighten the slip nuts.  Now I had a waterfall under my sink!  Braulio answered my phone call while he was on a job site.  He was able to make an for the following day.  The day of the repair, he sent a text message with a time of arrival.   I left my office to meet him at my home and he was already there!  After I told him my story, he knew exactly what to do.  I appreciate him being on time, quick repair and great price!  I have found a new plumber and highly recommend his company!

I woke up to both of my bathrooms flooded and Santana plumbing company squeezed me in and within an hour found and fixed the problem. Prices arent bad, he finished in a timely manner,  and he even gave me info to help in the future. I'm so glad that I called them and they're local. They were great.

I cannot brag enough about how amazing Jim was in a moment of crisis! I called another company and they came out and gave me a ridiculously inflated estimate, while they attempted to re-work the pricing, I got a hold of Jim and he gave me a fair price and came out to fix my hot water heater that day. Jim stayed late to make sure that I would be taken care of and didn't have to take another cold shower! Jim is very knowledgeable, kind and clearly puts a lot of hard work and care into what he does. If you are looking for an honest plumber, you can't go wrong with Republic Pipeworks!!

Very impressed by Stan's prompt and efficient service.. Our AC issue was handled in one visit.. and we go a discount because we signed up for regular service on Heater and AC.. all good..

I just had Julio & Juan here from Plumb Doctors.  I did not know why our toilet was leaking between the floor & toilet.   Julio quickly figured it out.  They handled it efficiently & well.   Both young men were so patient, kind & helpful.  I'm blown away by how such professionalism can make your whole day....or week!  The bathroom looks better than before.  They even got me a new toilet that covered the stains (rust looking) that had appeared on the tile around the toilet.

I know who to call if I ever have a plumbing issue!  Thanks guys!

Very pleased with the service and their pricing was fair. Would highly recommend!

We had a problem with our hot water (we have tankless) in our home we just moved into called a cold water sandwich, the water in the shower would start cold (which is normal), then get hot (which is normal), then go ice cold again (NOT normal), then maybe in a while would get hot again.

We hired a DIFFERENT plumber (not Thunderbird Plumbing) to come by, and after poking around for 40 minutes that idiot said I don't see any issues.  It takes a while for hot water to travel through the house, you need a hot water recirculator to fix this, which will involve us tearing up drywall throughout your house and cost thousands of dollars - we'll send you a quote.  

Before spending those thousands of dollars, we found Thunderbird Plumbing on Yelp looking for at least a second opinion.  Their voice mail said they were too busy right now, but we got a call back right away and they agreed to swing by the VERY NEXT DAY to take a look.  Jeff walks into our house, listens to my description, goes to the tankless hot water heater AND IN 3 MINUTES says Yeah, that's not right at all, I'm reproducing the issue, and it is displaying an error code.  Let me call tech support for this particular unit and we'll work through it.  

I sometimes get chills up my spine when the person in front of me fills me with confidence and I realize this is the right guy, right here, right now.  

About two hours later, Jeff says ok, I fixed several thing and I think you're good, but call me if it isn't fixed, I guarantee this work.  Jeff then explains in great detail, The air intake/exhaust wasn't hooked up right, maybe the wind knocked it at some point, maybe it was never hooked up right, but I fixed that and the error code stopped. Also, you are supposed to replace the water filter into the unit every few years and it really didn't seem like it had ever been replaced and the unit is 7 years old - so I replaced that.  Also, I descaled/decalcified the water heater, it was pretty bad, I don't think anybody had ever done that either so I descaled it.  I also went around to all your showers and cleaned out the sediment from all the shower heads.  It's working great now.  Oh yeah, somebody had turned the hot water heater temperature up too high probably to try to fix this incorrectly, I turned it down to the recommended setting.  It's not great to have it cranked that high, bad for the unit.

And from that point onward we had no more issues, everything worked the way it is supposed to, it even gets hot first thing in the morning in half the time.  No thousands of dollars on a recirculator that would not have solved the problem anyway.  No drywall work.  One visit by the right guy.

I'm never calling anybody else ever again.  Jeff is the plumbing whisperer.  He's the right guy.  And he doesn't charge NEARLY enough, not even close.

So I don't know about this customer service other reviewers speak of.  I called this company for bath fixture installation on Tuesday, nobody answered so I left a detailed message in the voice mail with the job description and my contact information. I heard nothing back so Wednesday evening i went to the company website and completed the contact request form, again with a detailed message and my contact information, still no response.  I tend to give the benefit of the doubt more than i should and decided to try one more time using the yelp request quote which touts 2 hour response time at 100%, still no reply.  So after 3 tries in 3 days I am finally giving up.  I understand it may have been a small job and not worth their time, i get the weather was bad and they may have been busy but it doesn't take a whole lot of time to just make a quick call or respond to an email or quote request to say hey we are swamped and can't get to you.

Olvin did such an amazing job on our bathroom!! He paid attention to all of the details, and even when I asked for a slight change he was super quick to do it and make us happy.

I couldn't recommend him more!! He is an incredible tiler, extremely clean (not just where he was working but even walking up the stairs he would set down a cover cloth every day!!). Amazing job-- thank you Fuentes tile!!!

We've had hot water leaks in the past and I was afraid we had another one since we didn't have much hot water. Spot-On sent people out the same day as my inquiry. Turns out we needed a new hot water heater, which they came back and installed the next day. Fast, reliable and seemed cost effective too

I agree with all of the other 5-star reviews here. Nick returned my call immediately. He was able to diagnose the problem with my shower over the phone. He set up an appointment that worked with my schedule. He showed up right when he said he would. He fixed the problem quickly and explained what he was doing and why it was broken. And he charged me a very reasonable amount for the repair. These seem like such simple things, but added together they are unfortunately rare when dealing with in-home repairs.

They do it once again!!! Exceptional service and knowledge!! Joseph came out to my home yesterday to replace a couple water valves behind my washer/dryer - Not only was he timely and respectful, Joseph also answered all my questions and made me feel like a home owning pro! Never choosing another plumbing service! Thank you O&M Plumbing!!

Great response, service, and quality work!  In a demanding time for services- they came through!!  Great experience for me and my family

Geronimo and Sons should be your first call when you need plumbing repair. Allow me to explain why.
Take a minute and ask yourself what you really want in a plumber. If you're like me, you're looking for someone who is:
1. Available -- Usually when your home's plumbing goes south, you need it fixed quickly.
2. Reasonably priced -- Someone who charges a fair price commensurate with the work performed instead of gouging you with flat rate pricing.
3. Experienced -- Someone who will take a direct approach to solving your problem and has the skills and the know-how to do the job right.
4. Conscientious -- Someone who focuses more on doing your job correctly than on getting to the next job.
Does it seem impossible to find a plumber with all 4 of these qualities these days? I thought so too, until I met Geronimo.
I had a slow leak from a rusty pipe on the cold water side of my bathroom sink. Of all the plumbers that I called, only Geronimo consistently had availability within a day or so (#1 above). He was also the only one willing to give me a quote before coming to my house.
When I met Geronimo in person, he impressed me immediately. He quickly identified the problem and, more importantly, he foresaw the potential complications and gave me firm estimates for both situations. His price was roughly 1/3 as much as the other quote I got from a business that uses flat rates (#2 above). He isn't financing a fleet of vans or TV advertising. He's just one honest workman supporting his family.
He asked me if I also wanted him to do the same repair on the hot water side while he was here. I know what you're thinking: Here comes the upsell. Wrong. He said that the only additional charge would be for the parts involved -- no extra labor! And boy, am I glad that he did it. That side was in even worse condition than the side I brought him to fix.
You don't normally consider plumbing to be an art form, but the practiced and skilled way Geronimo wrapped pipe threads and handled tools was a thing of beauty. He worked deftly and carefully, his actions reflecting years of experience and practice (#3 above).
When he was finished and everything was working perfectly, he hung around for a while just to make sure that there were no tiny leaks (#4 above). He was somewhat puzzled when I insisted on doing the cleanup myself. He couldn't imagine not doing it himself.
Geronimo is a super nice guy who checks all the necessary boxes personally and professionally. Yes, he deserves your business, but moreover if you hire him you will get prompt, top-quality service for far less than anyone else will charge you. For the foreseeable future, he will always be my first call, and he should be yours as well.

Fixed the drywall and towel holder in about 15 min. Super responsive, fast working, and kind. Will definitely work with him in the future on other projects

Tried to replace my toilet and found the flange broken. Everest responded first to my yelp request and offered free onsite inspection and estimate.  They arrived on time, quote was very fair, and immediately completed a high quality job (welded a new brass flange and re-installed the toilet).  Cleaned everything up, too.  I'll be using Everest again for all our plumbing needs.

They were able to make room in their schedule for me very quickly and were even kind enough to call and see if I wanted them to come sooner (I did) when someone else cancelled. They quickly identified that the leak was actually a backed up drain pipe from me A/C. They cleared the pipe for me, helped me fix it so that it wouldn't happen again, kindly pointed out that I needed to clean out my dryer vent soon, and vacuumed out all the water that had accumulated. They were very punctual and professional. They're one of a very few businesses that I have saved into my phone to contact again in the future if I have problems. I highly recommend them!
