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 we've used The Plumber. The first experience was excellent. We needed to have a shower re-piped for a remodel, they were quick to respond, provided a VERY competitive quote and showed up when they said they would. The workmanship was excellent. When our next plumbing need came up, this was our first call.  Again, they provided a quick and competitive quote, we got the work scheduled and they showed up exactly when they said they would and did another excellent job.  I highly recommend The Plumber, from a cost perspective, they have some of the most competitive rates I've seen, they do what they say they will do and the quality of work has been great. Always a positive experience working with these folks!

This was our first time dealing with the Greenshire Handyman service and will definitely use them again. AJ was professional, knowledgeable, and patient with us on ensuring our projects would get completed as we expected. Additionally, he took the time to explain the entire scope of work and absolutely made sure we were happy with the final outcome. He even touched up some items that needed some attention. The customer service was pleasant and attentive to leaving our home as clean as possible. Great to have this business be local to us and will definitely use them again!

Danny is the best handyman I've ever had the privilege of working with. He takes pride in his work, and will never settle for anything less than the best job done and a very satisfied customer. He's always able to help with whatever odd job or broken thing around the house we throw his way. Danny has helped us out twice now, and he'll definitely be back next time we need a handyman.

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.

Excellent service and detailed work.  Shannon was ready and willing to help us with our clogged system on a Saturday morning, which we appreciated very much!

Very experienced and attentive to all details at our brand new house.

Highly recommended for all plumbing services!  Six Stars

Reasonably priced for services, Martin arrived on time & was knowledgeable, personable and friendly. Would highly recommend  and would definitely use again.

No-call, no-show the night before Thanksgiving.
My appointment window was 3-5pm. I had some turkey prepping to do, and I needed my faucet to work.
I called the office at 4:45 because I sought an update on my plumber's ETA. The recorded message said that their offices closed at 4:30 and won't re-open until Monday (or was it Tuesday?) Now, I don't hold a nice long holiday weekend against anyone. But who am I supposed to call when my appointment window goes beyond your office hours? Your assigned plumber who had my work order could have at least called me. I do hope he is safe out there.

I gave two stars because your team may be truly wonderful, but I will never know.

I had Chambliss swap my PRV and add a water cutoff valve. They did a very professional job and were priced reasonably. They showed up when they said they would be and the tech was very courteous and professional. I will definitely be calling them for future needs.

CROOKS. Being a landlord in need for repair on my property, while not present in TX, i looked these guys up online a first time. They claimed my garbage disposal could not be repaired and thus replaced it, forgetting to leave the removed piece in the property, as instructed. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, i called them for a second repair, this time on a faucet,  to which they again claimed could not be repaired. The replacement would be $350.(?!) An honest plumber from Austin charged $150 for changing a faulty sealing package.

Had this company come out to give me an estimate of replacing hvac unit. Young man went up in the attic and came back with lots of pictures.  Some were mine and not sure about the others. Told it was covered in mold. At least that's what his pictures showed. So anyway after a long time talking and back and forth with him on his phone to the office I was told they have a 5 star tier. 119,ooo.+ -530,ooo.+   I almost fell for this scam. I just couldn't wrap my mind around the cost no matter how I tried. I was told that ac units had increased considerably but REALLY?? Anyway I called and told them no thhanks, just WAY too expensive.  Anyway I received a phone call from Mark (I think that was his name) and he said that could drop it yo 15,000.!!?? We politely declined. We are having a new unit installed today at a much reasonable cost and not abit shady on their sales tactics. Watch out for this company. Read ALL YELP REVIEWS AND BBB!

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.

They did not hit the window of time that they designated. When called no consolation was given as a result of the missed schedule.

Update:  After seeing post I was promptly followed up and offered consolation because of the time I waited.

I was a little skeptical when I saw this company and all the poor reviews it got on Yelp.  I was put in contact with them through my home warranty company like many others.  The plumber, Eddie, contacted us in a pretty timely manner and set up the appointment.  He called me the day of the appt. and showed up about when he said he would.  He went to the master bathroom where our cold water faucet was not working.  He quickly found the problem, which was a pain to fix because a screw and a washer had come off the stem down in the pipe.  He fished them out, unblocked the pipe, put new parts on the stem, and cleaned up the water that had come out on the floor.  He was very persistent and knowledgeable.  There were no extra fees or problems found, and it was just the $75 deductible.  He also gave us some advice on how to keep this happening in the future and why it happened.  I was pleased with the service we received.  Much better than the Country Boys Plumbing that HWA sent out the first time.

I moved in to my condo and both my toilets stopped working the same morning. I put in a request with AHS and Jason came that day. He was super friendly and fixed both toilets within 15 minutes. Literally could not ask for more!

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.
