Best Businesses in Texas

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

The owner of this business is giving himself five star reviews, competitors one star reviews, and threatening lawsuits when he receives reviews he does not like. He's also attempting to circumvent Yelp's block feature by sending me argumentative compliments because I told him I would not be a party to a conversation online with someone threatening frivolous lawsuits. He seems to be a paranoid delusional, or, at the very least, has the constitution and maturity of a seven year-old-boy given his reaction (threatening me with a lawsuit) over a 3-star review. My opinion, of course, but he may be dangerous to others.

All this because I gave him a 3-star review with several concerns about the quality of their customer service and the level of professionalism (or lack of professionalism) one must have to leave one star reviews on all of his competitors pages (search Yelp for A&V Plumbing Bell Plumbing Rubio Septic, etc. Search Google for others.

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.

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 was punctual, effective, efficient and most importantly, extremely knowledgable.  We would recommend Danny to anyone and everyone.  His handyman skills are above and beyond what you would except from your average handyman.  And his pricing is reasonable.  We will be using Danny going forward on all of our properties.

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!

I'm not a plumber, more of a handyman. Had a problem with a tub overflow drain and went into Josco, talked to Matthew, and very soon after left the shop with the parts I needed. It saved me money and time. Good service.

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.

Really phenomenal experience! I've had several SA plumber/repair experiences with my house/appliances and by far Blue Lion plumbing was the BEST! Our water heater was going bad and not only did they give us a fair and fast online quote (which was one of the more affordable options that included a warranty) they followed up a few days later to double check if we had questions. We were actually saving up for the water heater replacement during that time. Then, all of a sudden we came home one evening and the old water heater was leaking water into the carpet. I sent a message around midnight and had a response by 7am the next morning and they FIT us into their schedule the very next day! Heather and Martin are fantastic! Really impressed and will absolutely call them again if we have any plumbing needs! Great customer service, friendly and knowledgeable staff and affordable price. Really can't beat that! :-)

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.

When you know you can make a couple hundred thousand plus dollar purchase decision based on the information that someone provides in verification of another experts input, it's safe to say that you trust their expertise and know how. Such was the position my wife and I were in not long ago. Mr. Kevin Chambliss is someone I feel like I can trust, though we've only met four times. His integrity is something very important to him, and that becomes very clear when you interact with him for even a short amount of time. He also recruits individuals of a similar belief system, if caliber and quality of work are any indications. For me, personally, integrity matters a great deal when I'm dealing with a vendor, and because of that, Chambliss Plumbing now has a life long customer.

Recently, my wife and I were able to seek out Chambliss Plumbing again for some plumbing issues that we wanted addressed immediately following the purchase of our home.  The price was more than reasonable but also commensurate with product and work quality. The best part is, we knew upfront what we'd be paying for, and were able to plan accordingly.  Additionally, because of that, we're able to plan for some 'nice to have's' that we had in mind for the future, as well.

The explanation of the work and products involved exceeded expectations, and the peace of mind that the job was done right is hard to beat. If you're looking for a company that puts as much effort into keeping their word, as well as meeting or exceeding your plumbing need expectations, Chambliss Plumbing can be held up as an example and you'd be well-served in seeking them out for your requirements.

I can't say enough about the customer service I got from the beginning to the end!  All of Texas was going through the unexpected snow storm with busted pipes and no supplies for any companies to fix it.  We know that most people in Texas were going through the samething or worse, but they always made us feel like we were the only people that mattered.

On June 21, I made an appointment for a visit on June 30, between 11 and 1. At 1:30, when noone had arrived or contacted me, I called, and was told that the technician was delayed at another visit, but would be here soon.
At 3:30, I received a text from a service manager, Aaron, saying that a tech was available. I called, and was told that the appointment he saw was for 8-5, which I would not have made for June 30, as I needed to leave home by 4:30. However, I was given the impression the technician would be there within minutes.
At 4:10, however, the technician still had not arrived. I texted Aaron to cancel the visit. The impression Goettl made on me is that they cannot be relied upon.

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.

Bait and switch to hook you on services.  Too expensive abs not returning calls after they got paid.

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.

Same story here, was assigned them by AHS and could not even get in touch with them to make a appointment. Came across these reviews while trying to get a different number for them and then called back AHS and demanded a different plumber and got one.

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.
