Best Businesses in San Antonio, TX

I'm giving 2.5 stars bases on Yelp's description of the stars.  I will recommend to folks where cost is not an issue.

Gist: $540 ($490 with Military Discount) to replace a Pressure Reducing Valve.  The job took 1 hr from knock on the door to payment.  So that is 85.00 for the part and $405/hr labor (w/ fuel & prorated business costs).  

Call for quote before replacing PRV if you have the following:  Jack hammer sound when flushing any toilet or running any faucet.  I took the steps to clear a water hammer but the problem continued.  

Cons:
- Cost (Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me)
- Plays word games when doing reputation management
-----------
*Response to Owner comments*:  
Your guy was great, he had the problem diagnosed as I was describing it. I'm guessing because he had the new part in his car that this is a fairly common issue.

Is this the first time you have replaced a PRV valve in the new residential Alamo Ranch Area?  No, probably not.   Valve was 8 inch below the surface and easily accessible.

He knew this was a quick job but I didn't. I asked how long it takes on average and he said I don't know, we have to dig.  I asked him how much that part normally runs and he said he didn't know because you don't buy from Home Depot.

Average cost w/ labor online in 350.  Add the 350 plus the 65.00 you charge for the visit without service, that is 415.  It was worth it, at that point, to spend the 75$ just to have it done now.   Again, I didn't know the cause before you came out, otherwise I would have compared quotes.

I would prefer that in the future you ask a fair price for jobs you have a good understanding of, not the I don't know, maybe it could cost 1 to 3 hour price.   That is the difference between 2.5 (ok) and 5 stars (great).

Fun fact:  Brain Surgeons make $175/hr. on average.

- Very Fast response
- Professional Staff
- Same day appointment without fee
- Good Work
- (edit) Will work in 100 degree heat

Hired them again to scope out a broken pipe. This plumbing company will forever have my business. They are honest, hard-working and reasonably priced. They always treat me very well as a customer and show up whenever I need help.

PlumbIt ran a new gas line in our home to operate a gas range during a kitchen remodel.

Out of several quotes received, PlumbIt was the easy choice. The quote was one of the more reasonable ones, but most importantly Henry took the time to answer ALL of my questions. He helped me truly understand all of the options.

They were super responsive from getting the estimate, scheduling the work, arriving for the appointment, and every time in between.

You have found your plumber!

Fast friendly and affordable service! Thank you for your help Heather and Martin, I found my plumber I can put my trust in! I will definitely will be using you guys again!

Brad is the nicest guy, but more importantly a great plumbing professional.  He showed up when he said he would, and he got the job done.  (I had called two other plumbers, one missed his appointment (no phone call) and then blew me off the second time).

He was here a couple of hours working on two different projects (installing new laundry lines) and repairing a leaky bathroom faucet (one of those funky one's that come out of the back splash).  For what he did and how long he was here, I thought his rate was reasonable.  He even suggested using Pex instead of copper which would be less expensive).

Thanks!  Definitely recommend him.

I recently moved to San Antonio and have a water softener and water filtration system that I was unfamiliar with their operation along with a hot water/low pressure issue. Co-owner Cody called me back and FaceTimed me going over the workings of the water softener and helped me fix over the phone! Then came himself about an hour and a half after my initial call and explained my water filtration system in detail and troubleshot  my hot water/ low pressure. Gave me an estimate on repair and replacement of hot water heating system. Spent over an hour and a half no charge! Who does this?? I was floored. I decided to go with his suggestion and his crew was there the next day in the freezing cold. They were professional and efficient.
Needless to say I found my plumbers and consider Cody a friend.
THANKS

Update.....Had Tsanko out again to look at shower that stopped working.  He was able to guide me in purchasing parts and came out to fix the problem.  When I purchased a part that did not fit properly to cover the holes in the wall, I trusted him to go out to purchase and install a comparable part.  He did and I am very happy.  It was my style and works great!!

Based on all of the positive reviews, called 1/7/2017 after discovering a leak at our water meter. Never received a call back so called a second time several hours later. After describing leak & texting pictures, was informed that services are $180/hour plus $120 diagnostic fee...so $300 right out of the gate. Luckily, I was able to fix the problem myself for less than $10 after locating the necessary part at speciality plumbing store.

We purchased our water softener several months ago and we have been very happy with the quality of the product and the customer service. During the installation, our technician bent over backwards to make our install go as smoothly as possible. We had an that came up shortly after having to do with the wireless connectivity on the unit, but that too was resolved without any hassles. Would highly recommend and you will love the reliable unit. 5 stars all the way.

Just had A&A Plumbing out to the house for a clogged main sewer line. They were fast in coming over (withing 45 minutes) on a weekend. Ryan Huff was the plumber that was sent out along with his helper Matt. They were very professional and quickly assessed the problem.  They discussed what options there were to deal with the issue and provided an estimate right away. The price was very reasonable considering it was after hours on a weekend. They resolved the issue quickly. This was the first time ever using A&A Plumbing and I am very satisfied with their work!  Great prices and very professional and honest plumbers! I highly recommend them and will definitely call them again for any other plumbing needs. Thank you Ryan and Matt! You two are awesome!!!

Jaime Santana did an excellent job with broken water pipes repair at St. Mary Magdalene Episcopal Church in Manor, where I am the pastor. After the winter storm of February 2021, the water pipes of all of our buildings were damaged. Mr. Santana assessed the situation, explained what was required, and finished the repairs in a timely manner. He also ensured that all faucets/toilets/water outlets were properly working, and did the appropriate repairs when needed. I highly recommend Santana Plumbing Company LLC.

We called 4 other plumbers who couldn't come out right away-some not until next week. EZ Flow answered the call immediately, and sent 2 plumbers over within the hour. Emilio was polite, explained everything in advance and gave a quote before doing anything. We were so impressed and will be a forever customer!! Thank you!

Thanks Gilbert for your quick and thorough repair of our toilet.  You only fixed what needed to be fixed and you explained everything to me before, during and after the process.  I was very impressed with your work ethic and demeanor and I will be sure to call you again and I will recommend you highly to others.

These guys are awesome! Came over with no issues to inspect my system and pointed out CO2 problem & were able to fix the system same day! Great service, great customer service, and great value! Noel & Jesse were professional, quick, and clean. Answered all my questions and were very knowledgeable about the HVAC system and explained why there was a problem & what it took to fix it. Very transparent about what they were suggesting and why. Recommend services!

Very professional service. They responded quickly to my request and completed it with great craftsmanship.  I will use them for all of my plumbing needs going forward.

We had a non-emergency issue in the kitchen we're remodeling, and Guarantee Plumbing responded within ten minutes of my inquiry. The message was clear on how to reach someone for scheduling even though it was after 8:30PM. The dispatcher was friendly, clear on the fact that there is a visit fee that gets waived if we use them for the task.

Our plumber called ahead to make sure we were ready for him, asked for permission to cut further into drywall. He was friendly, laid back, and quick with the repair. He even gave me information to pass along to my drywall guy on what was done.

I did find it a rather high price for what I considered a low difficulty, non-urgent request, and the invoice didn't have a breakdown to show that the fee had indeed been waived, which is why they're only at four stars. At least they take checks!

I'll be keeping these guys in mind for the next repair!

I have to say, this was the most pleasant home repair experience I've ever had. From the beginning phone call I made at 3 am (emergency leak the day after Christmas) to the completion of the job, everything was handled with such professionalism and courtesy. JJ was timely, friendly, knowledgable, personable and never wasted a minute! My repair was somewhat complex but he went above & beyond to get it done as quickly as possible & as economical. He even went out of his way to reassure me (as he traveled up & down the stairs) that everything would be fine. I'm sure you can imagine my worry of the total, being it was the day after Christmas. But even that was a pleasant surprise. I would recommend this company to anyone, and ask for JJ! He's a giant of a guy, but has a giant heart as well. Thanks again for your honesty, friendliness & professionalism. You saved our holidays, Happy New Year!

Wonderful service! Showed up early to my home and had my sink unclogged in no time. From start to finish they were professional and even cleaned up after. Highly recommend!

The people were nice and professional. If you have a lot of money and want to waste it then this is the company for you. I got quoted way to high compared to two different companies. It crazy how big the difference was! On there contract it even states something about there company being more pricey...

I called roto rooter this afternoon for a clean out and I was told someone will contact me between 16:00-20:00 to confirm. I missed a call at 15:30 while I was on my way home. I called back as soon as I arrived at home like 15:50. They told me a dispatcher would call me back.  No one ever called me.  I called back at 1800 to see if someone is still making my service call. I was on hold for a long time again for a dispatcher to talk to me only to get the service rep come back saying they made several attempts to contact me and there was no answer.  I've been home since 15:50! I just canceled and went with someone else.  Don't waste your time with roto rooter! They keep you on hold and they don't adhere to schedule time of appointment and they lie cus no one there really wants to work!
