Best Businesses in San Antonio, TX

Several times now we have been so grateful for each of the Rutkowski plumbers as they are each very capable, kind, thorough, wise, clean and they explain everything especially if there are options. It is such a relief to have a trustworthy service to count on.

We had a simple job: install a new gas range. We had planned to install it ourselves but the gas turn off valve wouldn't budge for us, and I was scared of the boom factor of gas.

I called them on a Wednesday afternoon, and Jeff promptly showed up at 8 AM and completed the installation by 8:30 AM, all the while allaying my fears of natural gas and explaining what he was doing.

And, I got a yelp discount!!!

I called this morning to see if I could get a quote for a leaky hot water valve to my washing machine. He gave me a good ball park figure but assured me that if the work needed more than this, they would stop and let me decide what I wanted to do.  He asked me if I was available today and I was taken aback...I was expecting a few days before the technician could come...he arrived within 40 minutes to me calling for the quote. I showed him my issue and he had it fixed within 10 minutes and charged me HALF of what was quoted...HALF! I would use this company over and over again!

Give them a call! You will not be dissatisfied with them!

I never write reviews,  but with service like this, I had to!  After attempting to repair a leak myself, I had to call in the professionals.   I call several places and a couple came out to look.   Their estimates on the phone were no where near accurate and the price the quoted in person was ridiculous.   I was almost ready to give up when I called this team.   Not only were they able to get here faster than the others, they stuck to their price.  I am definitely going to keep this number and go to them first when I have a problem.  Amazing and respectable service.

I love these guys. Boss man is a big ole teddy bear. They saved my bacon more than once, always at 4 in the afternoon on Friday. I have sold my home and am definitely recommending Shamrock to the new home owners. They ROCK.

This company is honest, dependable and reasonable.  They have worked at my houses several times.  They always show up and get the job done.  They were especially great after this last terrible ice storm.  I highly recommend them.

This is a father & son business.  They are quite knowledgeable and have a friendly, business-like demeanor.  They have been to my house 3-4 times since 2007 to fix a problem and charges have been very reasonable.  I recommend them highly.

Absolutely the best experience I could have hoped for.  Noel, the technician that came out, quickly found the source of the leak.  Then, he went well beyond the scope of his job expectations in explaining exactly how to rectify the issue so we understood what to look for when the licensed contract plumber conducted the repairs.  He even got his hands dirty... something that goes well beyond what American Leak Detection is supposed to do when only trying to FIND the leak.  Extreme professionalism, immense knowledge, fast detection, and absolute care for the customer.  I would use these guys again in a heartbeat, and I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants the best for the job.

Tietze Plumbing Inc really came to our rescue! The dispatchers were quick and efficient. We had our hot water heater go out! Walker and Travis brought pure professionalism, knowledge, skill and excellent communication to help get our water heater replaced as it had already had the temp controls replaced previously and was 14 yrs old so was ready to be replaced. All of my questions were answered and different options were fully explained! Extreme respect was shown such as always wearing their facemasks and cleaning up thoroughly afterward. I highly recommend this family owned and operated business, which we like to support. Great service and we had hot water same day. We will definitely utilize them for any future plumbing needs!!

These people are out and out CROOKS. They employ untrained workers and managers Who all give you the ran around.  After dealing with these thieves, I spoke to a small family owned company.  Right there on the phone, the guy told me that the rats had become trap-shy,  and that was the issue.  I called another expensive place, and they said the same thing.  Once they are afraid of traps they will never go near them again.  Why did't ABC Pest Control not know this very  basic info?  Because the dont KNOW what they are doing.

If I could give these idiots zero stars, I would.  I have a mice and rat problem.  When I called them, I had heard occasional scratching in one corner of my kitchen and the adjacent bedroom, hence they were inside a wall. These idiots came and set traps, caught a few, and that was it.  I kept hearing noises and they kept coming back.  There waas never ANYTHING in the traps, but they had no clue what to do.  So I have the manager sent out.  I was told he knows everything, he's been in the business for 13 years.  So, at last I think I have a competent person who can get them out of the interior wall.  Guess what the expert says: Set more traps.  Change the bait. He was here an gone in 5 minutes. Still no results, and the rat population is increasing by leaps and bounds.  

Meanwhile 2 mos have gone by.  This entire time they have promised me that they would catch them, not to worry. The have continued to keep setting traps and catching nothing.   The mice and rats are so much worse.  I hear them fighting and squeaking in my kitchen.  They run through all the cabinets., and I here them all the time, not longer just at night, but also in the daytime.  My dogs were barking, and I actually saw a rat frozen on my dining room table!  Horror!  Last night I left the light on in the kitchen, and I saw a rat and a mouse run along the kitchnen counter!  I have not been able to cook for 2 mos, and now it is Christmas.  I am losing my sanity, and rodents are doing $50,000  of damage to my kitchen.

To add insult to injury the guys who sealed the house did so horribly.  One one gable facing the street, I had some little chewed edges of siding.  Instead of caulking under it, or providing mesh screen, he attached 8x8 squares of heavy metal flashing.

Before they came, I paid a lot of money to thourougly disinfect my kitchen, so these guy came to a completely clean kitchen. He even pulled out the appliances and cleaned under them.

My cabinets need to be replaced due to rat urine and feces.  They have also gotten into my dishwasher and stove.. EW. so THOSE need to be replaced.  I think we are looking at $40,000 of damage here, not to mention the untold cost to my health.  Rats spread fatal diseases to humans.  Also my 7 lb terrier caught a rat in the hallway in the middle of the night.  He was screaming, and I was terrified.  Turns out he had caught a rat and they fought until he killed the rat.  Bear in mind, my dog is about the size of a rat.   My dog's neck was covered in blood, so of course, I panicked.  After washing it off, I could see that teh rat had clawed all the fur off his neck!  And there were teeth marks.  My poor little dog had been bitten by this horrible rat.  $200 vet bill and he waas fine.  I hope.  He keeps coughing.   The ridiculous part is that the rat he killed was stuck to a glueboard... that means the rat had somehow drug himself into the hallway while stuck to a glue trap.

My precious dog could have died a painful death from the  rat fight.  I am personally losing my sanity with the constant sounds of vermin in my kitchen.

Do not waste one phone call on these people.  They are clearly running a racket with completely untrained techs and supervisors.  They give you a low ball price and then give up , saying the can't help me, and it's my fault I have rats.  The situation got tremendously worse after they sealed the house the first visit.  That did not make sense to me. Don' you want to get the rats OUT before you seal their entry way?  Once it's sealed they are stuck in there.  

One other problem is that I have having respiratory issues, and so is my dog.  I am terrified that we have the plague  from breathing rat pee, poop, and nesting material. (yes, they do carry the plague, leptospirosis and a host of other diseases.

I cannot recommend, as I do not think they work up to my expectations and professional standards. Overpriced & inadequate customer service.

They are great! Fixed a broken bed frame, replaced a ceiling fan,  balanced another ceiling fan, and fixed a blocked lightbulb socket in our oven hood!!! I will definitely call them again!!!

They will screw your house up, make a mess and leave it a mess. They tech that came to my House was apparently in the need of life lessons as a child. You make a mess, you clean it up. You break something then fix it. If you can't fix it then bring it to my attention and find someone that can. When coming to a scheduled call knowing the issue, bring the proper equipment so you don't have to schedule another day and inconvenience the home owner with your incompetence. This company gives the stupidity of a plumber stereotype truth. I will be fighting with the builder so that they lose their contract bc I don't need another tech like that in my house.

Had Fred Wrights come out (Preferred vendor from our home warranty company) to fix a leaky sink, leaky faucet and septic drain issue in May 2012. As of October 2012, I still have 2 out of the three issues unresolved and the guy from Freds quoted $9,000 (!!) to dig under my slab and fix the roots that had gotten into the drainage pipe. I called a second company to come out and paid them $227 to fix without digging under anything. Dishonest and incompetent company.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Some female said they'd be able to service our home the next day... the next day comes & she says they'd have to reschedule for the next day.... well that day comes & this dumb braud has the nerve to say they don't service our area (5 miles away).... my 3 kids went w/out water way longer than need be thanks to this company who asked for our address the day we set the apt up & never said they didn't service our area but proceeded to make an apt
