Best Businesses in Texas
Very impressed at the knowledge and corrections made to my irrigation system. Thank you so much
Austin, TX
Pair Plumbing and Septic came out and identified both of my plumbing problems that no one else could find. Their service and expertise was A+. They also cleaned out my septic at a reasonable price in a timely manner. Thank you Pair Plumbing for your customer care and professional service. I will use you again and refer you friends and family. I think the bad review they got sounds more personal than the actual service they provide.

So I just called based on a recommendation from a website. The woman answered the phone and I told her I needed an estimate. She said she would have to put me on a brief hold. I waited but the hold was NOT brief. Seven minutes later I disconnected.

I moved to the area recently and was happy to find Greenshire Handyman. AJ was very responsive, arrived on time and installed my front storm door quickly. I'm very happy with the results and will definitely reach out to for assistance with other home projects I need completed!

Danny is a great all around home repair and electrical handyman. I had several problems with my condo, including lighting, door lock, and window repair issues that he was able to fix. I was very impressed with the dedication and thoroughness of his work. With one repair in particular, a broken window crank, he went above and beyond to find the right parts and fix the problem, including going through a lot of back and forth from the manufacturer. Everything was explained to me clearly, and he always made sure that I was satisfied with each job. I plan to use Danny as the go to person for any future issues in my unit, and definitely recommend him to someone who needs to find a reliable person to take care of any home repairs.

Would definitely recommend the services of Ruben. He answered all my questions over the phone first and even asked if I could take a picture of the issue, then quoted me over the phone. I knew what to expect and what I was going to pay before he even came out. He worked with my work schedule and met me at my apartment exactly when he said he would, even called/text to confirm.
Very nice gentleman. He retrieved my grandmother's necklace that was gifted to me 19 years ago. I don't know what I would do without him. He gave me some plumbing tips and even cleaned up the area he worked on.
Looking for a family plumbing business? Call Ruben!!

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!
New Braunfels, TX 78130
My plumber suggested I go down Industrial Blvd and check out the toilet options in the plumbing supply stores. Based on some reviews, I figured I may be met with some attitude from the staff going in as a mere lady homeowner instead of either being
A) An actual plumber or B) A man.
I went to two places. Joscos and Moore Supply. Both places were places I'd go again. Neither of them gave me attitude for being a lady who had some questions. If anything, they were quite polite, friendly and even humorous.:)
I purchased from Joscos because they had the brand I was looking for. However, If I needed a supplier from Moore I'd readily purchase from them as well.
Back to Joscos:
I talked to a few folks in the store, they were welcoming and helpful. Talked me through all the brands/ prices / features that I was looking for in the toilet. (Full disclosure - I did come in having done some research, so I wasn't expecting them to give me a full plumbing 101 class or anything.)
Jonathan helped me select the commodes I wanted, gave me some good pricing (I compared, so I know.) and then even was helpful when I had to call back to double check features such as the rough in dimension.

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.
103 County Rd 114, Burnet, TX 78611
Our master bathroom sink drain was backing up and leaking. Got multiple quotes from different plumbers, but ultimately decided on Blue Lion and we are SO happy we did. John was super prompt, professional, friendly, explained everything he did, and most importantly he did a wonderful job. Plus, the pricing is honestly super competitive for the quality! Will definitely call them for any future plumbing needs!
Austin, TX
This company was great. Fast, honest, and resonable. I had to have my water turned off as water was coming out the over flow valve,, yesterday. Another company told me it was the high pressure valve.. 650. This company did it all for 168. I will feel confident calling them out again. Thank you for not hearing a female voice on the other end of the phone and trying to rip me off. I appreciate your professional company.
Jarrell, TX 76537
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.
1875 E Borgfeld Dr, San Antonio, TX 78260
Terrible! I had something serviced and the guy showed up huffing and puffing and cussing! They need to come out TWO times to give me a bid. Horrible customer service!! Don't use them
202 S CM Allen Pkwy, Ste 108, San Marcos, TX 78666
Jackson from Goettl did my Spring check up. He was very through. I had been unable to use my thermostat and he found several reasons for it malfunctioning and fixed them all. I appreciate his work ethic.
Austin, TX
Very responsive to an appointment request and quickly got us an appointment for a replacement hot water heater. Will definitely use their office for any future plumbing needs.
10 County Road 108, Unit 10, Hutto, TX 78634
Just wanted a tuneup on my ac, took 2.5 hours to complete. 15 minutes after technician leaves ac isn't shutting off and house is freezing. Call Jon Wayne to get someone back to fix it. After 2 hours of back and forth operator says she can't get anybody tonight. So I have the option to run my ac all night or no ac until tomorrow morning. Never will use them again.
Austin, TX
On his website he states he started his own business because he got tired of seeing people overcharged. That is funny considering he charged us $100 for a hot water heater drip pan and would not use the identical one that I had just bought at Home Depot for $22. He also charged us $150 for an expansion tank that was only $68 for the most expensive one at Home Depot. $90 worth if parts that he charged us $250 for. As soon as he left I saw the unit was leaking, I called him back not even 30 minutes after he left. He said he was in S. Austin and would be back around 5. He never showed and I could not get an on his cell until after 8pm. He then said to just turn off the water to the hot water heater and he will be back the next day. We will see, that day is today. Not happy and not impressed.

First, let me say that all of these reviews really worried me. I called American Home Shield for some plumbing problems. The first company referred to me, I asked them to change because of their reviews. Then they assigned this company. Yes, again skeptical but decided to give them a chance. I received a call from Jason Lewis the next morning after my request. We set up the appt. for him to come to my house. He gave me a 2 hr. window and arrived within the first hour. Good. I showed him the leak under my kitchen sink, leak in the bathtub and 2 toilets that were leaking slowly. (It happens, stoppers wear out). He fixed the sink, the toilets but needed a part for the bathtub. After a few days, I checked the kitchen sink and discovered there was still a small leak. I contacted Jason, left message and he returned my call the next day. He had the bathtub part and set up the 2 hr window appt. Again, he showed up within the first hour. Regarding the kitchen sink, there was another leak that he missed, because the first leak was so strong. He found the gasket broken, fixed that leak and repaired the bathtub with the new part. I have no complaints. I just find it very hard to understand how this company can have so many bad reviews and only a few good ones. Maybe people just complain more when things go wrong. Nobody is perfect. When looking through my records, I realize this company came out to my house a few years ago and I don't remember any problems. Jason was prompt, professional, friendly, clean and pleasant. Let me suggest that when you review a business, especially a bad review, please be careful and don't exaggerate, don't be mean and spiteful just to be mean and spiteful. Some people attack for no reason, looking for things to fail. Treat kindness with kindness. It's possible some of these reviews came from poor attitude toward the contractor, who knows? It isn't an excuse, but I never had any reason to complain about the service.

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.
