Best Businesses in Texas

This is my first yelp review.  I've used a lot of plumbers, but Pierre and his team are the best I've ever had the pleasure to work with.  Just as we were sitting down to pie on Thanksgiving (in the evening) are hot water tank expansion tank sprung a leak, shorting out our wifi.  It's a good thing the teens and young adults noticed the lack of wifi immediately (despite it being a family Thanksgiving dinner) or we would have had a flood on our hands.  Pierre answered the phone and came over, on Thanksgiving!  The issue was fixed within one hour of placing the call to A&T Plumbing.  We were so incredibly grateful!
Then, a couple of days later (I couldn't make this stuff up) our grinder pump stopped working resulting in sewage backing up into our house.  Again, Pierre was extremely responsive despite it being after hours.  Our issue was fixed the next morning.  Pierre and his team are extremely responsive, incredibly competent and very reasonably priced.  I will be calling them for all of our plumbing needs and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone.

I found Dave Henderson to be honest, quick, professional, and helpful.  We are picky customers and he was patient with our search for the perfect toilet.  He steered us clear of some sketchy deals and got us good prices on what we needed.

An extra bonus of working with him was the contacts he gave us for the additional work we needed fixing our leak damage.  I now know more honest, hard working men to help me with carpentry, electrical work, painting . . . anything!  I am very happy with my new service relationships in Henderson, and the men he introduced me to.

We've found Abel to be reliable, experienced and very easy to work with. My wife and I initially used him to install a tankless hot water heater and have since hired him for other plumbing projects with great success. He is easy to communicate with and he worked with us to accommodate our schedule. He was even able to squeeze us in after the recent ice storm, when plumbers were hard to come by. He's our go-to guy for plumbing/water projects.

I was in need of relocating my water heater from the house interior to the garage. No small thing considering ending and moving water connections. I called Braulio from a recommendation from a remodeler that uses his services all the time. Braulio came by the house that afternoon, assessed the job and had my estimate by that night.
Braulio's estimate was clear and fully encompassing of things I was needing but hadn't a clue about before (updating to new standards and codes).
His estimate was overwhelming reasonable.  I had thought about for a day, sent him a text and got an instant text back.
Braulio got to my house 1st thing Monday morning and was completed by early afternoon. He answered several questions of water heater maintenance and helpful things.
His work was so meticulous. down to caulking the new outside pressure relief and drain pan lines. Capped off old water line very cleanly and nicely.
I can't say enough good things about his solid work. I'm very thankful I called him. GREAT fully licensed, up to date plumber.
Call Standard Plumbing.

Garbage disposal stopped working and sink was backed up over the Labor Day weekend.  I couldn't cook or run the dishwasher.  Called, left a VM on Sunday and Jaime texted me back within 30 minutes.  He said he could drop by the next day at 10:30-11:00. Mind you, that was the Labor Day Monday!  He showed up on time and got to work replacing the broken disposal with another one I had bought from one of the big box stores.  Unplanned but he was also able to fix an old toilet at the same visit.  All for a reasonable price.  

Very grateful for his responsiveness and professionalism.  I've found my go to plumber now and I know my old house will have something for him come back for another visit...hopefully not soon.

I shopped for weeks to find a good reliable plumber. Jim is very honest and really wants the best for your project. I had many plumbers give me outrageous bids and try to take advantage of me. It's very hard when you're a single woman, and not familiar with the questions to ask or really know what the truth is. Jim will explain everything and you can tell he has a passion for what he does. Not only would you get a good plumber, you'll get a very honest one. Which now a days doesn't happen very often.

These folks IMHO systematically circumvented my warranty and contributed to the death of several system parts.  My house was built by David Weekley in 2003 and Stan's Heating and Air installed the Carrier Puron system.  I signed up diligently for their Gold service which came out TWICE annually for regular cleaning and maintenance.  They found a coolant leak but could not determine the location of the leak.  This happened for years.  Never could find it, but kept charging the coolant (which costs some money by the way).  Finally after about 7 years (yep I was that dumb and simply believed the factory authorized dealer and servicer) they FOUND the leak.  It was in the evaporator coil.  Mercy me, heavens, I am so glad.....however, NOW the warranty was not in place and even though THEY installed it, THEY serviced it, THEY knew there had been a leak the entire time, THEY WOULD NOT WARRANT THE WORK OR EVEN GO TO BAT WITH CARRIER FOR THE PART COST.  They were going to charge me for the WHOLE repair even though they had known it was an issue for the entire time since they installed it.  And by the way, I did talk to an owner of Stan's that basically said he would not do anything for me.....even one of the customer service folks there that had been there for years said that they should have taken care of my unit and only charged labor as it really seemed to be Stan's problem.  She also thought that it was not right that they just blew me off.  

I called Davis and Company to come look at my unit, because Stan's was not getting another cent from me.  They said that any idiot would have known that the Evap Coil was leaking (and it was leaking for years in his opinion due to the accumulation of gunk) and he showed me all the residue in the pan below it that had been collecting for years.  The coolant has something added to in in the coolant lines and if the resudue was below the coil, then it had to leak out of it.  Oh, he also determined the main reason that there was a noise was NOT due to whatever Stan's guy had said...but rather, my blower motor was going out.  So, I replaced the blower motor, had it serviced, replaced the Evap Coil and am still HOPPING MAD.  

I am a Realtor and make recommendations all day long to folks...Stan's will be on my DON'T list.  Awful service.  Awful maintenance.  And they basically suckered me out of my warranty replacement of a coil at least.

Don't use them.

Amazing experience all around.  Fast, knowledgeable, and did it the right way.  We had an urgent issue and Sam was out within hours.  He did a perfect job and went above and beyond to do the job right.  He also helped flush the pipes after his work.  I would highly recommend this company and Sam our plumber.

I had a wonderful experience with Plumb and Order.

Wyatt and Thomas came out, I had a issue with a valve on my tub that was stripped and he quoted me $240 bucks for the work.

It took longer then he thought and twice as long 3 hrs!

I thought to myself he is going to charge me for 3 hrs.

Well Wyatt is a MAN of his word, he said $240!

That is a man of his word,  I will be calling Plumb and Order  from now on!
Great job!

I called Thunderbird to see whether they could rescue me from a rapidly devolving situation with another plumber. (I'll call them plumber AAA.) Long story short, we had a sewer line clog and old fiber conduit pipes (aka Orangeburg) that had to be replaced.

Ted from Thunderbird fought rush hour traffic on MOPAC to come over and assess the problem, and quickly stepped up with an estimate nearly 30% less than what plumber AAA wanted. This was based on replacing up to 35 feet of Orangeburg with modern PVC.

When it turned out that AAA had underestimated the scope of the job by almost 50% (We needed closer to 60 feet replaced) Thunderbird only charged me for the extra work that the dig crew had to do. In the end, after my 10% Yelp discount, Thunderbird was still 20% cheaper than the original estimate from AAA.

I should've gone with Thunderbird from the outset, but I thought the larger company would get to my place faster and have more clearly defined rates. I was wrong, I never should've doubted Yelp, and I will be using Thunderbird Plumbing from now on.

Edit/update: I just have to respond to the zip code upcharge conspiracy review, which would be laughable if it weren't so insulting. First, I live in a pretty nice central Austin neighborhood called Crestview, and Thunderbird gave me a far better price than any other plumber offered. Second, I write my own reviews and no one from Thunderbird pressured, finessed, or even suggested that I give them a positive review here.

Mark is an excellent plumber.  He was professional in diagnosing my issue then methodical in approaching the installation of the new part.

Fantastic company. They do great work at a more than fair price. They respond to messages quickly. They clean up their mess. They work quickly and instead of using epoxy to repair the tiles, the replace the whole tiles. Amazing! Olvin will take care of you. Do not let the tile stores try to talk you into letting them handle the install. Buy your stuff and call Fuentes! You will NOT regret it.

We discovered a leak after coming back from vacation. I contacted Scott from Spot-On Plumbing after the water mitigation company found the source and he came the same day, diagnosed the problem, and fixed it promptly. He was knowledgable, upfront, and was able to identify other major and minor issues that were the cause of the leak. I'd highly recommend Scott to anyone who needs repairs done efficiently!

Great service.

Left Nick a message in the morning, he responded that afternoon, and he came out the next day and fixed my bathtub leak. The entire process took less than 28 hours.

He was very knowledgeable and entertaining throughout the repair, and the price was reasonable. Would definitely recommend him to others.

Best Plumbing Services overall in my service area based on price, skill and quality of customer service. Many other reputable companies quoted double (or in one case triple) for the exact same work. Did I mention they were quick and cleaned up after themselves too?  

How did I determine that they are the best?
I had all of my plumbing inspected by a home inspector/contractor I trust, with estimates on cost and time. So I contacted every reputable plumber I could find on yelp for estimates including Aloha Plumbing, Good Flow, Blue Dragon, Plumb-Quick, the Plumbinator, Local Plumbing and EZ Flow to see what they would quote.

O&M was the first ones out, their prices were in line with my cheat sheet (that I did not tell any of the estimators about), Drew was head and shoulders above the other estimators in terms of knowledge and - here is the most important thing - NO UNNECESSARY UPSELL!!!!! All other estimators save 1 tried to sell me on a rebuild of a shower that only needed a handle fixed.

All other estimators warned me that most of the undersink cabinet space would be used up in the remodel but O&M actually ended up using less space than before. So now I have even more storage room.

I don't usually use CAPS in reviews but the best service and best knowledge (given they improved the situation under the sink unlike every other company would have done), while coming in a few dollars below my cheat sheet estimates and being the 2nd cheapest quote out of 6.

I won't even try another company and I want to make sure everyone I care about is using these guys. Too many others out there gouge you. I have 4 emails in my inbox that prove it.

I was totally blown away by the responsiveness of Austin Plumbing! I found them on Yelp and I had a few questions in advance of setting up an appointment and they responded quickly and setup an appointment to service my two tankless water heaters as well as replace a new kitchen faucet. The team was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Thanks so much for helping us out, Geronimo!  We hired Geronimo to replace our bathroom fixtures in two bathrooms. He arrived quickly after our Yelp conversation only to let us know that we bought the wrong fixtures for our plumbing configuration.  He told us what to buy, and we agreed that he would come back two days later.  Two days later, Geronimo arrived again as planned and beautifully installed our new shower and bath fixtures.  

Also, we tacked on two toilet repairs, which he also tackled.  

Hopefully Geronimo won't hear from us for a while, but I've got his card should we have any other plumbing needs

We just had Diego here today to install a wall mount doggy door for us. I started asking around for estimates last week and Diego was the most responsive, could come do the job the soonest and had the fairest price. Diego worked meticulously to make sure the job was done right. He even touched up the paint around the dog door when he was done just to make sure it was perfect. I have been looking for a good handyman for a long time and am so happy we found Diego.
I will definitely keep him in my contacts for further jobs!

Our urinal was really clogged and left a gross odor in the bathroom at my office. Emilio and Grace were really helpful and they came and fixed it promptly the next day after our call.

Super fast service which I value.

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!
