Best Businesses in Texas

Very impressed at the knowledge and corrections made to my irrigation system. Thank you so much

Bill and Diane Pair with Pair Plumbing & Septic have provided me with excellent customer service and work.  My farm is located about 20 miles from Cameron and recently all of my pipes froze and and broke due to the freeze.  The guys they sent to asses the damage were very professional and quickly identified the problem. The Pair's  were responsive and sympathetic to my needs and repaired my pipes.  This was not the first time we have had them service the farm, really good people.  Diane is a really sweet lady, more of a peach than a Pair!

This is the second time they have responded after a big freeze.  My water pipes froze and broke.  I'm guessing this happened on Thursday.  Today I noticed water running out from under my house, across my yard and down the alley several hundred yards.  They came within an hour of my calling.  There must be hundreds of broken pipes in Austin now beginning to thaw and leak.

Great communication, on-time service, beyond satisfactory work, fair pricing, left zero mess behind, very efficient and will reach out for any other handyman needs.

From the very beginning, Danny was punctual, professional, reliable, friendly, and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed working with him on our first big home improvement project. We started by talking through all of our ideas and concepts with him to figure out our scope. Our project ultimately involved replacing hardwood and tile flooring with hardwood floors, removing a fireplace and built-in cabinetry, installing new plumbing and electrical fixtures, and painting everything back to normal. This kind of work is more than just handyman work, and Danny being a licensed contractor was more than able to take it on. We are so happy with the end result and the quality of his work.

He was easy to communicate with and responded knowledgeably to all of our questions. He also kept the work area very clean and as compact as possible every day. He had solutions (that work) to every issue that popped up! He went above and beyond in resolving issues during the project and making sure that the end result was perfect.

It was a big project, but Danny's pricing was fair and transparent. Very highly recommend!

Ruben is our friendly neighborhood plumber. Over the years, he has helped us replace toilets, repair toilets, replace entire plumbing lines, install water heaters - you name it! Ruben charges a fair price (and sometimes hasn't charged us at all for repairs) and does excellent work.

Our water heater went out and we needed a replacement fast. Gabe was the first to reach out and offered to replace our unit the same day. His quote was very affordable compared with others that we received. His work is high quality and he made adjustments so if there is a need in the future repairs will be easier to perform. I highly recommend Gabe, and we now have a new plumber!

It's going to happen to you eventually--you're going to have a problem with your plumbing. And guess what? If you're trying to DIY the problem (like me), Lowe's, Home Depot, or any of those other big-box, home improvement stores WON'T always have the part you're looking for.

Josco Plumbing Supply is one of many parts supply shops wedged on to the dusty, and always busy, Industrial Blvd in South Austin. Did I mention they're small? If you're driving by and you blink, you'll miss it.

Don't let that sweat you, though. When I walked in to the store, with only a picture of the part (an American Standard faucet stem) on my cell phone, an employee quickly replied That's American Standard...Yeah, we have that.

All the parts on my list? They had them. Silicone grease? Got it. Extra washers? Done. Everything was competitively priced, too. The entire process only took a couple of minutes and couldn't have been easier.

I hope to never use them again (because that means I'll be fixing something else!), but knowing that I will, it's good to know a place like Josco Plumbing Supply exists.

I highly recommend Highland Lakes Plumbing. Shannon did a great job on a difficult bathroom job. He is very fair priced and is a very hard worker and efficient with his time. I will definitely be hiring him for any other plumbing jobs.

Having recently purchased a home in SA, I was given Blue Lion's contact information by a renovator working next door to my Sister's home.  My primary concern was addressing those plumbing issues which had been documented in the inspection report I had done prior to house purchase.  Heather scheduled an appointment for an estimate shortly after my call.  Martin arrived, reviewed the inspection report and then confirmed required work by checking out the crawl space himself.  I also mentioned to him that I wanted to replace both toilets with new.  He quoted a price for the work and scheduled me for the following week.  He arrived on time, quickly addressed and repaired the crawl space issues and, in so doing, identified additional problems which the inspector had not because the inspector did not access the crawl space under the deck adjacent to the house.  The leak from the kitchen drain/main bath sink drain was leaking badly.  Martin opened the wall under the kitchen sink to discover some nasty do-it-yourself mess which included multiple plastic bags! Martin replaced that mess with new pipe.  He then pulled the first toilet to begin replacement with the new, only to discover serious issues with the lead drainage line.  I saw it.  It was ugly.  He told me what would be required to do the job correctly, but he did not have the necessary parts and would need to schedule another appointment.  What he charged for the work completed that day was LESS than his original quote even though the kitchen sink issue had NOT been part of the inspection report!  To make a long story somewhat shorter, when he returned a couple days later as promised, both toilets had problems which required work WAY beyond pulling and replacing.  I told him I wanted the work done right, not quick.  

It took much longer than anticipated to complete the replacement of the two toilets, but I have the satisfaction of knowing that the work was done correctly.  And that is precisely what makes Martin and Blue Lion Plumbing a 5 star business:  the work was completed on time, professionally and courteously and I don't have to worry about plumbing problems going forward.  In a previous life I had gutted and renovated three homes and, based on that experience, Blue Lion was INCREDIBLY reasonably priced.  Would I recommend?  Well, this week Martin completed a number of projects at my Sister's house and she has shared his name on a neighborhood review site.  YES!  Thank you Martin, William and Heather!

I needed some my modifications done to my home propane gas lines.  My propane company suggested Ken Dixon.  I called for an appointment and was given a time.  The plumber arrived on time.  He was masked and was careful to maintain social distance.  He was professional and courteous.  I was unsure about the modification I wanted so I asked his opinion and he offered me a simple but effective solution.  He and his helper completed the job in less than 30 minutes and it looked great and worked exactly as I wanted.  The price was about half what I expected to pay.  To be honest, I don't know how a company could have performed any better.

Always get great service and super reasonable prices with Chambliss!  They do not have huge turnover with their employees and that says a lot about the company.  Would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

I have used San Marcos plumbing for several years and have never been over-charged or misled about repairs.  They have installed a water softener and hot water heater for me and made an emergency repair to a broken supply line. They have never talked down to me because I am a woman (my pet peeve, since I am a competent mechanic) or been anything but respectful and friendly. The one time there was a misunderstanding regarding a charge, Victoria made it right. Remember, folks, that being polite and giving people the benefit of the doubt brings the best results.

My heater went out and I have a 2 month old baby in the house.  It's been a bit cold, so I needed it replaced ASAP.  I called Dayton Services and within the same hour I received a very reasonable quote.  They came out to my house within 24-48hrs.   I was given a time when the technicians would arrive.   The day of my appointment I received a text that the technicians were in route (which I thought was pretty neat).  Any other situation you're waiting around for a technician to show up.  I appreciated the heads up!  They arrived on time. My technicians Darron and Willie were very professional, knowledgeable, polite and quick!   They answered all my questions and explained everything that they were going to do.  I've worked with other AC/Heating companies before and it definitely wasn't as pleasant!  They eased my worries.  I highly recommend them!!

Well I got the number through a friend of mine, which is a good way to get a skilled professional when something is beyond me or it's cheaper for me to higher out because I don't have time. This was an instance of both. I had changed out the thermopile assembly, checked the thermal switch, and tested the valves and found the pilot valve not clicking, leading me to believe the gas control needed to be replaced. I called Radiant who could book until November then got these guys number. I called on a Tuesday and I explained everything to the call taker hoping to give enough information for a plumber to either call me or have an idea what the issue was before coming to minimize time for getting parts, because we were already on day 4 of cold showers. She set up an appointment for Thursday. Thursday comes and 2 plumbers show up, I take them upstairs and ask if they had gotten the jnfo I gave. Nope. Nothing was on the ticket. Nothing. This visit was their assessment. Guess what. He concluded the gas control valve and that I needed a new door gasket, which I also knew and had ordered the previous Friday from Morrisons when I bought the thermopile assembly. He said he would need to order the part or see if they had it and he would call me later in the day. Friday morning rolls around (no call Thursday) and I get a call from another employee who says they have my gas control at just over $350 and $200 in labor. I ask him if that includes the door gasket. He asks me, what are you talking about? Briefly explain that the water heater needs that gasket to operate safely. We go back and forth for about a minute and he says he will call me back. So he calls back and says, that part only comes on a burner assembly and that's gonna run $177, plumbers price from Morrisons. I tell him that I already ordered the part, $77 from the same Morrison's, and I'll call about the part. He says, ok, ill put your name on the part and to call him when I was ready for the job to get done. Well guess what- it's now Friday afternoon and it won't be till Monday when these guys will come out again. My issues: 1) my info didn't get passed on, which MAY have mitigated having to find parts on Thursday afternoon. 2) not getting a call back on Thursday about the part 3) a whole different employee calling me and what I perceive as trying to up ahead me a part assembly I may not need and then 4) trying to make my water heater sound like it needed replacing you've already replaced the termipile, now the gas valve and gasket,  well...its your money you might want to get a new water heater. OH and 5) I was so turned off by the experience and wanted to get my kids hot water for showering, that I went upstairs to inspect and get measurements so I could do the work myself (I know stuff, but just don't have time) but my simple inspection found a corroding and sweating hot water pressure pipe coming off the top of the water heater! This was the only reason why I opted not to do the job myself was that pipe. So yeah, were they prompt, sure.  But I was not happy with the rest of the experience.

Couldn't be more disappointed in their product and do NOT recommend. 6 days ago I paid them over 26K for a complete overhaul of my AC system. The workers were great and very courteous, however, here we are 6 days out and the system is not working. All day our upstairs has been 76° (feels warmer, honestly). I set it to 72°, no change. I set it to 68°, no change. I went outside to check the unit and it is not running at all. I'll be calling them in the morning to voice my anger and displeasure. I told them that my number 1 priority is having something that works and that I don't have to worry about, they guaranteed me 20 years and can't even give me a week. Go somewhere else and save the trouble.

I have a contract with a homeowners warranty co. for my rental property.  Therefore,when I have an issue with repairs, I contact the warranty co. and they send me the repairman,with no input from me as to whom they are sending.  I had not heard of  Big Jon Plumbing,and I am in the Austin area.
First of all they got my call for service around 10am,and they promised to be there around noon. They showed up around 12:15 and got to work.

They were courteous,timely and efficient,and took care of the problem quickly,and I can rest easy knowing everything was done professionally.

I think they said they were based in Kyle,but service the Austin area also.

This plumber is the worst. He is a crook. I had a leaky T&P valve and he refused to replace it. Despite there being water in the drain. He said he would have to physically see water to replace. He is contracted with American Home Shield and rips people off and does no work. Avoid him at all costs.

After dealing with Lucy Moreno and her business I think I have a pretty good idea of what it is like to go through a terrible divorce: I trusted the wrong person who repeatedly broke their promises to me and ultimately I spent a lot of money and needed legal counsel to make an awful person leave my life while praying they don't destroy my house in the process.
I contracted with this business to remodel my kitchen. In the beginning the initial project manager (Tom Estes) warned me that I would have to get tough with Lucy and basically kiss her butt if I was going to get her to perform all the stuff she promised to do. That was insane to me, I was baffled that her own sub was undermining his boss, and I shouldn't have to get tough with anyone who I was paying to provide services they enthusiastically agreed to do.  Tom also said that the comment Lucy hears most often from her clients is You lied to me! Lucy assured me that there would be no cost overruns, they wouldn't do anything we didn't agree to do in writing, I'd be happy with their quality work, etc.  
It turns out this business wrote the book on dirty contractor tricks. Every other day I was getting messages that work was cancelled and they'd have to start up another day. My favorite excuse was that when work couldn't start on a Monday for whatever reason, she claimed that it was easier to work a full five day week then to get started mid-week and only work a couple of days in a row so progress was pushed off until the following Monday. Sure, her crew totally isn't sitting around not making any money on another smaller project she didn't want to turn down in favor of my project because working a 3 or 4 day week is so complicated.
Even though our contract was fixed-price Lucy constantly hit me up for the cost of items she either forgot to include in the price or she didn't want to pay for.  Seemed like it was always a pushy, high-pressure sell to get me to agree to something now now now, the guy is here he can do it or he'll have to come back later type of thing. I always said no, and when I'd ask her why she doesn't think the contract means she has to cover it she'd throw up her hands and say hey, I won't  fight you on this one. I didn't want to fight either, I just wanted my contractor to do what they said they would do!
When I found substandard work in progress and complained I was told to relax and stop bringing these things to her attention because they're not finished and there's nothing to worry about. When I called her attention to inferior work upon completion I was blamed for not catching the poor quality work in progress and directing the sub to fix it (which under agreement I could not even do, the homeowner cannot direct subs). Everything was blame the homeowner, including the fact that I was trying to turn an old carport into a kitchen, something that was abundantly clear to this business when they bid on the project.
The previous reviewer totally nailed it: Lucy is a bully, and with a volatile combination of arrogance and stubbornness to the point of being surreal.  While standing in my kitchen as her subs ripped up parts of my new wood floor to redo it for the second time (and only after bitter complaining on my part) she refused to acknowledge that there had been any problems on my job and that we do quality work, we get nothing but compliments. Say what?!?  I had to hear that's the best that can be done until I argued, and argued, and argued, and argued to get things fixed. The project suffered from lack of oversight and management, with Lucy and much of her subs apparently incapable of applying logic or common sense to the work.  I spent more than one evening surveying what was supposed to be my fabulous new kitchen completely in tears trying to comprehend the insane mind that could think this kind of work was acceptable.  I must admit that a couple of her subs were honest, hardworking guys who obviously cared more about quality and customer service than Lucy did.
When the project failed to pass the electrical inspection Lucy doubled-down and refused to do any more work until I gave her the final payment, which clearly is not due by contract until all the work is done and the liabilities are cleared.  Lucy literally stated she did not care about the terms of our contract, she just wanted to be paid (greatest email ever, got it in writing, thank you!). Never mind the fact that it didn't pass the city inspection or that a sub (who had been fired early in the project before demo even started) had attempted to file an invalid lien on my property. She makes up the rules as she goes along and I don't think she ever even actually read the contract that we signed.  Her work ethic reminds me of a drug-addict: lie and do whatever it takes to get the money and always deny any problems exist.
