Best Businesses in San Antonio, TX

Israel and his team just finished fixing our sprinkler system and we highly recommend them to anyone.  Our issues were numerous from cracked pipes to deficient sprinkler heads and other stuff in between.  I constantly oversee any workers that come into my house and end up asking them a lot of questions. This was no exception and they were professional and friendly the entire time.  As far as price, I really don't have much to compare it to, but it did seem reasonable.  They were honest about their quote and kept pretty close to it.  I am very happy about their service and  would use their services again if needed.

Had a communication problem about an install. As it turns out the hot water heater was not leaking. Kristin was very understanding and we resolved the issue. Thanks, Kristin .    Steve M

I've used Juan once and recommended to a friend. He's very knowledgeable and professional. He is very fast to respond, even on Christmas Eve. Thank you!

We have used George's Plumbing for years and love them.  Their expertise and knowledge of houses in our area is amazing.   They are very ethical and do the job right the first time.

These guys are so incredibly HONEST. I have had them come out to our home 3 times, and each time they have delivered the best service. One time they told me 'no, don't do that.' They make sure you know exactly what you are getting and why. They are timely, sensitive to your emergency needs, and kind. Love the young lady who answers the phone...she takes detailed notes and she squeezed me in for our perceived emergency. Stu and Josh are efficient, timely, thorough, & make dealing with a plumbing issue a breeze. Bomb.com. Recommend them! Trust them. Don't think twice! They are the only plumbers we will use going forward.  #Military Discount #They warranty their work. Thank you

Both Chris and Wally have been to both of my commercial locations and could not be more professional, efficient, knowledgeable and most importantly, honest!! CMC is a very rare bird for sure!!
Wish I knew of them years ago!

A disappointing visit to Home Depot and came here to Hillcountry plumbers. Great customer service very friendly quick service and got the parts they were actually cheaper than I would've needed at any other place

Our water heater was not working, so I called Sears Home Warranty to place a service call. Sears could not make it out that day, so they sent Premier Plumbing Services.  
On Wednesday, December 7, 2022, Ruben from Premier Plumbing Services came out on the service call and determined that we needed a new water heater. Ruben told my husband that we would be responsible of paying an access fee of 335.00. It would cover having them take the new water heater to the second floor, then bring the old water heater down to the first floor and the disposal fee. We understand the disposal fee, which Ruben said was 50.00. We cannot believe we were going to be charged 285.00 to bring the new water heater upstairs so they could install it and bring the old one down!  Ruben was not making any changes to it; he was only installing, it exactly where we had it before, with no modifications.  Ruben advised my husband that he would have to return on Friday because the water heater was not on stock and would have it by Friday. My husband was told if the water heater would have been in the garage we would not have been charged that access fee. We would only have paid the disposal fee.
I tried to switch companies, but Sears did not let me because Premier Plumbing had already started the service call. On Friday, December 9th, they came to install it. I was unsuccessful in getting someone to help me bring the old water heater down and the new one up stairs. Ruben asked me; so you really want to move them yourselves? I replied, yes. Then he replied, I can pick up my equipment and will come back later.  I agreed, then he proceed to say...I will  go do another service, but I can't guarantee that I will return today and we don't work on the weekends. I replied, then you pretty much have my back against the wall because I can not be without hot water for another two days... Just do what you have to do.
The new water heater was installed, but Ruben could not get it to ignite. He said he needed to change a part (ignitor) to see if that was the reason that it was not igniting. He changed the part and was able to ignite the water heater. I should not have allowed him replace the part, I should have asked him to replace the entire water heater considering it was supposedly new... but I didn't.
After he left; I was reviewing the receipt more closely, when I noticed that Ruben changed the disposal fee for 50 to 95.00 and lowered the access fee. The total still came out the same 335.00. Then, I  remembered Ruben commenting that he should be charging more for the disposal fee. I assume that he changed it so Sears Home Warranty could see his disposal charge.
To top it off, Ruben said to me, as he was walking out of the house, I would not be able to take cold showers. I would rather rent a motel room or go  to a friends house to take a hot shower. I replied, unfortunately, we had no choice but to take cold showers.
I believe that we were taken advantage of; due to the fact that our water heater broke during cold weather. I would not recommend this company to anyone. We have reached out to Cinch, who is the company that handles Sears Home Warranty, to put a complaint. If that doesn't work we will look filing a dispute.

Our water heater was leaking, so we called Standard plumbing. We left a message and within minutes, our call was returned. Braulio showed up within 45 minutes as promised.
He was professional and his quote was reasonable.
Within a few hours, we had a new water heater. From the time we called to the time he drove away, it was less than five hours. All this considering our water heater is in the attic.
His work was clean, efficient, and took the time to go over everything, including warranty.
In light of the pandemic and physical distancing, he also ensured he kept his distance, wore gloves and ensured his and our safety.
We highly recommend Standard Plumbing and Braulio if you need a new water heater.

AJ with Greenshire Handyman came by to paint some shutters on my home that I could not reach.  His team did a fantastic job.  The communication was excellent and timely and he was prompt.  He brought the supplies he needed and the shutters look great! Thanks AJ.

We called Abel to change out our bathtub/shower fixtures. He arrived on time as promised, very professional, and wearing a mask & booties. While changing out our fixtures he was able to take care of other last minute requests as well. We are super happy with his work & customer service and will be referring him to our friends & family!

Set up an appointment with Mr. Rooter plumbing after emailing Aaron back and forth a few times. Previous estimates for my bathroom problem were in the 2-3k range and Aaron was the only person to recommend other options. Tony was our technician and was nice and professional. He was able to fix our problem and it only cost us a fraction of the previous estimates. Would definitely be going through Mr. Rooter in the future.

We had what we thought was a leaky pipe under the kitchen sink, and I've been having a hard time finding anyone who would give me a personal recommendation for a plumber.  So I resorted to yelp. Based on the Yelp reviews, Mike's Plumbing was my number one choice.  

Mike's Plumbing Service has the Responsible Plumber Endorsement from the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners.  I looked him up by his license number, and it shows License Status: Current.  Expiry Date: 04/30/2016.  It also shows Certification of Insurance: Yes. Insurance Expiry Date: 10/01/2015.

I happened to call on Friday morning before a long holiday weekend. Unfortunately for me, Mike was out of town visiting relatives and didn't respond until Tuesday.  That was my bad luck, because in the meantime, since I didn't hear back from Mike, I called my second choice (based on yelp), Mr. Plumber.  Mr. Plumber said they could send someone out right away on Friday, but I ended up (due to my schedule) arranging the appointment with Mr. Plumber on Tuesday morning.

When Mr. Plumber came out Tuesday morning, the guy said we did not have a leaky pipe.  Instead we had a leaky faucet that needed to be replaced.  Mr. Plumber said he would charge me $575.00 to replace the faucet.  YOWSERS!!!!  More than $500?  I couldn't believe it.  I felt Mr. Plumber was over-charging me, so I decided not to do business with them. For this bit of knowledge, I had to pay the $65.00 site visit fee to Mr. Plumber.  (If I had gone with their recommended repair, the $65.00 would have been absorbed into the $575.00 cost.)

I checked around and found out I could buy a nice faucet for about $200 from Lowe's or a cheap faucet for $99 + tax (about $108).  If you go into the store and sign a contract, the Lowe's on Callaghan Rd will arrange for a plumber to install the faucet for $100.  That would have been the cheapest thing, but when you go that route, you don't know the quality of the plumber you will get.

As luck would have it, after Mr. Plumber's visit and right after I got off the phone with Lowe's on Callaghan, Mike's Plumbing called me back.  Boy, was I glad to hear from him.  He said he could come over and replace the faucet for $165, as long as I could get the faucet and have it ready at the house.  Yes, this was more expensive than the $100 installation quote from Lowe's, but I had a good feeling about going with Mike, and what's more, he said he could come out and install the faucet the very next morning.  I'm guessing there would have been a lot more wait time if I had gone through some contractor through Lowe's.  So I paid an extra $65 to go with Mike.

Mike was very professional and came out the next morning to install the faucet as promised.  He did a great job.  As I'm out of town, he even sent me photos of the old and new faucet, as well as a photo of his invoice.  

Price quoted from Mr. Plumber: $575.00
Price I paid:
$65 for Mr. Plumber visit (charged because I refused their services)
+ $165 for Mike's Plumbing Faucet Installation
+ $108 for new (cheapo) faucet
---------
$338.00

Cost savings by going with Mike's Plumbing: $237.00.

To be fair, if we compare apples to apples and replace with exact same quality of faucet, the price would have been an additional $80 + tax.  So if I had gotten the nicer faucet, my cost savings would have been only $150.00, but that's still a good chunk of change.

(I went with the cheaper faucet at Lowe's because I was reeling from the $338.00 total figure.  With $80 + tax more, it would have been $425.00! Goodness gracious. The cheaper faucet is fine for now, as it kept the total cost closer to $300.)

Although this was an expensive setback, the silver lining is that now I've found a good plumber.  If I ever need a plumber in San Antonio, I know who to call.  Mike's Plumbing.

I'm so glad I found Mike.

One The only plumbers in the entire 5 county residence.He's fair and honest. A  plumber who made us feel as if we were life long friends... Dependable good  plumber with  experience I have come to rely on!!!

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

A slow leak behind upstairs bathroom tiled shower wall, and also a/c drain clog diagnosed, quickly and skillfully repaired, and a/c inspected/serviced all in the same morning!  
Great pre-service communications, prompt arrival, helpful and polite by fully explaining issues and needed services.  All employees were very tidy and thorough with both issues - went above and beyond, far exceeding my expectations!
Highly recommended!

Had a leak and rattle.  My system is 2 years old.  Tech was very disrespectful  and also misdiagnosed  issue.  Told me I  needed new unit.  Then told me I should  contact company who installed it charged me $89 and left.  I called installer, they took care of the leak unclogging drain and the rattle...no new ac needed.  I've waited a couple  months to review to make sure things were good and everything  is in working order.  Will never call these guys again.

I have to share that Aramendia Plumbing in San Antonio, TX is an awesome company.  Over the past dozen or more years, I've needed to use their services on several occasions & the jobs have all been completed to my complete satisfaction (not that anyone is ever thrilled when they need to have plumbing work done)!  Aramendia is a company that puts 110% effort into making sure their customers are totally satisfied & for this reason, I fully recommend them when you need a plumber.  I've not used their other services but no doubt, they put the same outstanding efforts into those.
