Best Businesses in Texas

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

This is the best plumbing company we have ever used, they are quick and responsive. I called them and they were at my front door ready to fix my plumbing problem in less than a hour.
 Pair Plumbing  & Septic not only provide great service they also provide great pricing and friendly staff. I have never had such a great experience with a plumbing company.. I will highly recommend this company to anyone that needs plumbing and septic work done. You guys are awesome, thanks again!!

Knowledgable, courteous, honest and not one to scam you.

We had an urgent need and they were responsive and competent.

Only downside is that they typically do not answer the phone but leave a message and they will back with you soon.

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!

Can't recommend A List enough. Communication was smooth and responsive. Attention to detail is exacting. I was very impressed with the level of care & consideration given to my house (left the work area cleaner than found). Danny is a very trustworthy individual and we will be turning to him with all our home improvement needs moving ahead.

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!

Love, love, love this place! As a contractor, I stand in line all over town, trying to find parts for random things. I went to a competitor and stood there for 20 minutes, for them to hem and haw about why they couldn't match it to the broken part in my hand. Yes, I know it's broken, that's why they need a new one....and yes, I am a female GC, so I also got the little lady attitude. No, I don't know the brand. Here is the part. Clearly has nothing written on it. You are a parts house, that's why I came here.

They referred me to Josco. They will be sorry they did, as I will not shop anywhere else for my plumbing supplies. Walked in, showed him the parts, he walked over and grabbed them off the shelf, and I paid - in under five minutes. And he was checking someone else out when I got there.

My only concern about writing this review? That the secret will be out.... Josco is the only place to go for plumbing supplies in Austin.

We asked for help with some stuff that we just couldn't fix on our own.
Came out when he said he would, was right on time.  Professional and courteous gentleman.  Helped us get our water system back on line after some serious freeze damage from URI 2021.  He knows how to fix stuff.  We would use his services again if needed.

Highly recommend! Very friendly, great customer service, and good prices. They do a good job (quick, honest, reliable, and on time). I've been happy with them helping me with my repairs and will continue to use their services.

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 can't recommend this company enough! Fantastic service. We were in a bind and they were able to fit us in a tight schedule that very day. Ruben came out and was extremely fast, friendly, and professional. And it didn't cost us an arm and a leg! Thank you Chambliss!

After having 2 other plumbers tell me that my hot water heater needed to be replaced (one of them did so without even coming to look at it, just assumed that since it was 10 years old the problem would be solved by replacing it). When I called San Marcos Plumbing, I was frustrated and felt like these other plumbers were trying to take advantage of me and explained as much. I immediately trusted them as they explained that my frustration was completely warranted.  The woman I was working with to schedule the appointment called my tenant and was actually able to talk him through the issue over the phone and saved everyone time and money while completely fixing the problem. As I suspected, and had explained to the other plumbers to no avail,  it was a pilot light issue. San Marcos Plumbing was the only company who took the time to follow up and resolve the problem without scamming me out of hundreds of dollars to replace something that didn't need it.  They even followed up with me after to let me know they had spoken with my tenant and between the two of them fixed the pilot light. Great customer service!

Tech came out and diagnosed a bunch of problems and quoted us $9k in repairs but, of course, recommended we replace the entire system for around $19k.  
Thankfully we got a second opinion.  The tech from the second company came out, diagnosed a single point of failure and made the effort to find out that the part was under warranty; $350 total for the repair.  System has been running great since.  The tech said he had no idea what the first tech was talking about when I showed him the first quote for repairs and that we definitely shouldn't replace our entire 7 year old system.
Absolutely shameless.
I can't speak to the quality of their work, but before you find out, I'd recommend getting a second opinion to make sure the work they want to do even needs to be done.

Had Hambone come out to see why we were hearing running water outside when nothing was on in our house. The recommendation was to replace our toilets. When the installer came, I reiterated my concern and said I wanted to make sure the issue was resolved. We found out that whatever we are hearing isn't coming from our house. Which is good! We replaced our toilets anyway since they were 20 years old, and the price was very reasonable for the job. It was done quickly an efficiency. I really appreciate that they went above and beyond to assure me that we did not in fact have a leak coming from our house.

Zero rating if possible. Bought a outside unit 6 years ago and noticed it was making noise,but the a/c was still working,so i decided to be proactive and have it looked at before summer hit so we wouldn't be without a/c. Thinking it was still under warranty i called Jon Wayne. Turns out they tell me a capacitor went out and i only had a 5 year warranty on this Bryant system they put in so it would be $357 to fix. Mind you my a/c was still working,just making noise. The wife said he just took the check and left after repairs. I get home to a 81 degree house after 12 hours work. She doesn't understand the controller so she put up with the heat till i got home. Also she has bad health problems on top of this crap. I called back and they sent the same guy out. When i got home i found the controller left on fan.....for 6 hours till i got home! He got there and said the a/c was working fine when he left. So i told him how is that possible when it was left on fan and my wife said you took the check and left? Never went upstairs to reset the controller? So he came back and said the compressor grounded out. Of course i blew up. Long story short they declined any responsibility and said it would be $4100.
Had a second opinion done. Found panel with the wiring with signs of being shorted. Even cracked the plastic cover. I was standing right there when he removed the cover and saw it. He showed me immediately. He said that would cause my compressor to ground out. He spouts on his commercials being from San Antonio, but rips them off.

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'm so sorry that I forgot his name, but this plumber was my hero. A pipe to my water heater burst and not only did he arrive quickly, he talked me through what went wrong and redid the original set up to decrease the chances of it happening in the future. Thank you so, so much!

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.
