Best Businesses in Texas

Needed a backflow test done so I texted Lauren and she replied promptly with the price. After checking with a few other businesses, this was the best price so I texted back to move forward with the test. They emailed me an invoice, did the test the same day. They emailed once it was completed, I paid online and received a receipt and copy of the report. The entire process was excellent and convenient!

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.

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!

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!

LA can sometimes be a wasteland when it comes to finding a reliable, professional handyman.  Danny is one of the few that I've found delivers as promised:  I asked him to do some painting, patching,  and other work at my place and he MORE than delivered, at a MUCH higher standard than I was expecting...You won't be disappointed in the caliber of his work if you hire him:  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!

I was searching for a replacement part. After calling several places around Austin, including Home Depot, I called Josco and they saved the day. They had a solid selection of leftover parts in the back and the manager was extremely helpful in making sure the parts matched.

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.

Excellent!!!! Highly recommend for any plumbing need.  Contacted via yelp.  Very quick to respond. Affordable.  Was able to come out quickly and install a water softener saving us a lot of money.   Professional and friendly service.

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 cannot say enough good things about this company. After another plumber did I terrible job and told me he would need to come back in a few days (we had no functional toilets at that point) and it would cost $500, I called Chambliss. They came to my house in 30 mins and had the problems fixed and everything cleaned up in under an hour and under $200. Super professional and did an excellent job. So happy I called them.

Did business with this company for the past four years. I had a water heater go out that they installed and they said it was a warranty issue with the company they don't cover the water heater that they installed. Then I was made to feel like they did me a favor over the last four years for doing business with them!  They don't stand behind the products that they install. Apparently I'm rude every single time I call.  Horrible customer service from the office. I'll go ahead and buy my own water heater and install it. You've lost my business and my respect.

If you read my previous review, you know that we were very satisfied at the time with the work that they did for us.  However, we are now selling this house and the inspection showed that there was no combustion air venting for our new system.  We were not only concerned but upset because 1) we had paid for a new system and 2) the inspectors and firemen we spoke with told us how dangerous it could be when the furnace is used over time and that this does not meet code.  Dayton's response to us was less than courteous or professional and quickly deteriorated.  We were told by Dayton that they did not put the combustion air in because the AC closet was too small and that it is nothing to be concerned about.  To make a long story short, we had the problem fixed by a different HVAC company.  While, yes our AC closet is small, the other HVAC company was able to come up with a way to incorporate the correct size combustion air vent and we now feel good that the new family living in our home will be safe.

I broke my leg in 3 places and when I got home from the hospital I realized our standard height toilets were going to present a significant challenge.
    I called Hambone Plumbing and they were out the next morning and installed a new ADA compliant, chair height toilet.
    Wesley and the crew were professional and the cost was very reasonable. I will be calling Hambone Plumbing for all of our future plumbing needs. I high recommend them.

I would not recommend any one else use this company. We finally bit the bullet and replaced our 20 year old system. Nothing but regrets in choosing this company. First, as several other reviewers have stated, they constantly try to upsell you on additional services.  Today I noticed that my system seems to be constantly running at the same temperature all the time. I wasn't able to log-in through the site to check the schedule. When I called customer service I was informed it was because we did not renew our contract with them for service. So on top of the thousands we are paying for the system, these leeches want us to pay hundreds more a year in order to be able to access our own system!? I will be replacing their bottom of the line thermostat with something I own and control ASAP!

The icing on the cake for me was during the winter storms when the power was out for days, every time the power was restored we had to wait 5 minutes for surge protection, we couldn't even get emergency heat (which should be a crime!). So if we only got 5 minutes of power, we got nothing. People are freezing and there is nothing you could do about it.

Do NOT buy from this business!

Is there a star under 1?
Do not use this plumber if you value your home, money or service.
I will not even give the satisfaction to explain how unprofessional and unreliable he is.
If your Home warranty company gives you his name for work, call them immediately and refuse!

I wish they had a rating for below one star To even think a rating of one star is the worst option gives way more credit to BB Lewis plumbing than warranted. Let me first start out by saying I have a warranty through American Home Shield, and BB(BB Lewis), informed them that my tub fixture was leaking out of the hot water side due to a PR valve needing to be installed on the outside of the house because pressure was a little high coming into the house causing the washer/seal to leak. After speaking with a few plumbers, I got the feeling that this diagnosis was off. Why would it only leak out of one area of the house if the pressure was high through out the whole house? I was under the assumption I had to have this valve installed to go further with my Home Shield claim to get this leak fixed, so I hired a different plumbing company to replace this valve and paid them $400. And here is where the fun begins...
I called home shield to have the service call set up to replace the washer or seal on the hot water side of the tub faucet since this is what was BB's diagnostic from the initial service call. Not only did it take 4 phone calls and 5 days later for BB to contact me about the service call, but it took me leaving a threatening message to call home shield about their incompetence in scheduling/calling me about this service. After this message, I was contacted within 30 mins. The appt was scheduled for Friday, so I took a half day off work so I could let them in the house. An hour before the appt, and a week and a half after the initial scheduling of this service, I get a call stating the part was not in stock, and had to be ordered for Monday. Seriously? You knew the part and service you would be performing way in advance, and you didn't have the part ordered already? Sounds like very poor management. Very disappointed, I agreed to take another half day off work on Monday so they could come back out. Surprisingly, they showed up almost 2hrs early on Monday, but what had been my gut feeling as well as the opinions of a few other licensed plumbers, this washer/seal they claimed was leaking due to the pr valve, was apparently misdiagnosed. The tub faucet was still leaking on the hot water side. Now it needs a valve replaced on the hot water side to be fixed. They told me the claim would be called into home shield and I waited until Friday without getting a response from anyone. I called BB and left a message...does anyone work here that answers phones by the way? Within a few hours I get a call from home shield stating the removal of the water heater is not covered under my warranty to replace this valve, and that I would need to pay $600 to BB to have this fixed. So not only was this misdiagnosed, I was going to have to pay money to BB because they were incompetent in their profession on discovering the correct problem from day 1. At this point, I am waiting for a call from the home shield resolution center, which I can't hold them accountable for other than the fact they have chosen this contractor to work with, and I get a call from BB asking if I wanted to continue with the repairs. I inform them of my disservice and wrongly diagnosed plumbing problem, and all they can tell me is you were f@$%ed over by your plumber for replacing that pr valve if they did not think that was the problem. Really? Home shield said I couldn't go further with my claim because that was BB's diagnostic!!!! Quick background, I run a very busy and very reputable automotive shop in Austin, and the plumber I hired I have known him and his cars/trucks for years and before the valve was replaced he told me he did not think that was the problem but I had them do the repairs because according to BB I had to have that done to continue with my claim. I also understand the diagnostic side when it comes to repairs/services. In no way would I ever attempt to charge or take advantage of any of my customers if I improperly misdiagnosed a car. Sorry for the long, wordy review, but BB Lewis just rubbed me the wrong way. I even gave them the opportunity to make this right, and was basically told nothing would be done for me. In closing, the repair needed to fix the leak is very simple, except for the fact my water heater is in the way. I will be going through a 3rd party plumber to upgrade and install a tankless water heater and will have them fix the leaky valve as well. If BB Lewis had taken any customer service initiative, then not only would they be doing this repair, but would be making money on my water heater upgrade as well. Steer clear of BB Lewis. If you have a home shield warranty, ask for a different plumbing contractor if they attempt to send BB Lewis out to your house.

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.
