Best Businesses in San Antonio, TX

Cannot recommend these guys more highly.  They came out two days after I called, on a weekend, figured out what was wrong and got the job done in a half hour, and charged me a really good price.  They didn't try to upsell me, they didn't destroy my grass, they were perfect.  I will use them every time from now on.

H&S Backflow is incredibly responsive and efficient. Mike came out diagnosed the problem and was able to repair my pool backflow issue the very next day. Will definitely be using them again for any of my future needs!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND:

Had a kitchen faucet replaced (I suppled the faucet- he was cool with that). Plumber also replaced two cutoff valves-one that needed to be replaced right now and one the plumber recommended since it was old. ( He gave me a choice about whether to do second valve ) . Price was fair, comparable to other quotes. Gave me a discount on installing the new valves since it was an add-on.

Very fast next day morning service, prompt arrival at appt. time. Worked neatly (minimal spillage ) and cleaned and dried under the sink thoroughly after the job was finished.

Great job all the way around.

We contracted for this company through Lowe's for a toilet installation.  They did a superb job, removing the old toilet and installing the new toilet in record time.  They were very careful to ensure that no mess was made and they hauled off the old toilet as well as the box from the new toilet.  This is a first class operation.  They are not happy until the customer is happy.

I called this company once before, and cancelled due to timing. What a regret. Not only were they professional. He was informative and honest. Honored a miss quote in pricing. Did a walk through. And gave me free advice. Was never pressured. Can't say enough. If you want your plumbing done right call Premire Works!

We have used Austex in the past for fixing some sprinkler issues and they were great. This review is about an outdoor lighting project they did for us recently.

We have a 15 year old outdoor low voltage lighting system that has over 50 lights consisting of up lights, path lights and fountain lights etc. The system was completely out and no lights were working. We got multiple bids to fix it from some of the highly rated outdoor lighting companies on yelp. We were told by all the others that to fix the system would cost the same as installing a new system and all their bids were for new installations.

Austex came up with a bid to fix the system and their bid utilized our existing system and included trouble shooting and fixing/replacing the broken components which was exactly what we were looking for. It was a very comprehensive bid for a very reasonable cost. The quote process, setting appointment times, actual appointments, all were all handled in an extremely professional manner. Because of the freezing rain we had recently they had to reschedule once and we were notified by both email and telephone call. Josh was our main technician and he did an excellent job. For one stretch, he had to run new wiring through our lawn to install 5 path lights and did such a good job that the grass looks totally undisturbed. We are very pleased with the end results and highly recommend Austex Sprinklers for your outdoor lighting needs.

Very honest, respectful, diligent and kept us in the loop of status on where they were to reaching my parents house. Despite the weather ordeal and weather they made it out in a timely fashion and fixed it on the spot!!!

Atlas Plumbing replaced a water heater within 5 days of their diagnosis. They were timely, courteous, and made sure the job was properly done and up to code. A couple days after the water heater was installed, one of the toilets coincidentally clogged. We called another plumber who couldn't unclog it and told us that it would require taking the entire toilet out at a charge of $400. We called Atlas right after that plumber came out, and they were kind enough to squeeze in a last minute look. They easily spotted the problem, got it unclogged within 5 minutes, and the most impressive thing of all was that they didn't charge a dime for the trip out nor the unclogging!! Louis said he just wanted to do the right thing, instead of trying to squeeze more money out of me. That alone just speaks volumes to their character. We definitely recommend their crew!

We are doing a re-model of a home in Canyon Lake and hired Clint DIxon as our plumber.  For the first few months, he was relatively reliable, and we paid him as per his fee schedule.  In early November, he informed us that we needed a sump pump for our septic to function properly.  He asked us to pay him in advance $600 for the cost of the pump and $160 for installation of the pump.  Within 15 minutes of leaving our home he cashed our check and has been ignoring our phone calls ever since.
When we called him from another phone number (so he did not know it was us) he informed us that he had spent the money and could not purchase the pump but that he would buy it with money that his father gave him at Christmas, and would install it on Dec. 27th.  Needless to say, he did not, and continued to ignore our phone calls until we threatened him with legal action.  He then purchased the pump (according to the store, the cost of the pump is $400, not $600) and left it in our yard.  He now owes us $200 for the pump, and $160 for advance payment on his labor.
We are now in the process of hiring another plumber to install the pump.  Clint has once again disappeared and is not accepting any of our phone calls.  I would NOT recommend him as a plumber to anyone, any time.

I recently had my water heater break and it was on a Sunday. Mr Plumber was the only company who had a plumber available and ready.  Jason was the plumber who came out to my house and he was extremely professional and knowledgeable! I highly recommend Mr. Plumber Plumbing!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. We used Franco on a recommendation and the entire process has been a joke.  We had a leak in the shower faucet he said he fixed it for $500 only to be told that the entire shower and bath tub area needed to be ripped out because the leak was in the shower wall. No credit for the $500 already paid. The walls and bath tub were ripped out and we were left for 4 days with an exposed moldy wet mess, he had a church retreat to go to, that should have been our first clue that the project was going to go sour. Then, after asking and asking for a written estimate, 2 weeks later,  he wrote one because we refused to give him any money. Now, 2 months later we are still trying to get Mr. Franco to complete the project. We are not paying him the balance of $3362 until the project is complete. He blames every problem or delay on someone else. This is his business. Days go by with no work done only empty excuses. Now, he tells us that he is retired, retired? then why start the project??? As of tomorrow he is going on vacation and sending his Pastor to complete the project. That says a lot right there. If you read a positive review on this company it was probably written by him or one of his family members.

If I could give zero stars, I would. Through Fidelity, my home warranty company, this company has been dispatched to my house on three separate occasions. Twice was for AC issues and once for a water heater, every single occasion was a DISASTER. The men that came out were accommodating but were always late, left huge messes and did not have adequate/correct equipment. This last experience was the absolute worse. My AC went out in triple digit heat, they were scheduled to come out on July 1st, 2020 to look at the unit and make their recommendation. Of course they were late not showing till nine that evening. We need a whole new unit, they gave their word the recommendation would be in to Fidelity the next MORNING to assure the process (Fidelity approving the recommendation, ordering the parts and replacing the unit) would happen in a timely manner. The next day (Thursday the 2nd) I waited till two in the afternoon to check with Fidelity, the recommendation had not been submitted as promised. They called Champion and Trophy AC three way with me on the phone, they told assured both Fidelity rep and myself that the recommendation would be done by the end of the day. Already frustrated because they did not do what they said they would and cost me an entire day int he process of fixing my AC in TRIPLE DIGIT HEAT. I took them at their word for the second time and did not bother following up the next day, Friday, because they had assured both Fidelity and I that it would happen... guess what DID NOT HAPPEN!! Monday I followed up to see where in the process we were, Fidelity STILL had not received the recommendation!!! The short version..recommendation was received Tuesday the 7th, almost an entire WEEK after promised. Wrong part was sent by Fidelity (between these two companies, ugh! DUMB and DUMBER!) by the time the correct part was ordered, Tuesday the 14th, Champion told me they could be there SATURDAY the 18th, that was the best they could do. ZERO sense of urgency even though their negligence  had cost my family to suffer with NO AC in TRIPLE DIGIT heat. For weeks UNNECESSARILY!! I told their scheduling person secretary that was unacceptable and I needed to speak with someone else, someone who cared about the reputation of this company and could make thing happen. She retorted that was the best they could do and her boss was already gone she would have them call me the following day (Never happened) I will admit that I went Karen on her at the same time assuring her it was not a personal attack but the amount of frustration at this point was EPIC and the fact that this company showed NO urgency or accountability was mind blowing!!! Instead of a call from anyone with any culpability in the Champion and Trophy AC and Plumbing or its reputation, they called Fidelity and cancelled the contract stating we were unhinged. Again....MIND BLOWN!! I have no idea, looking at other reviews, how this company is still in business. If we ran our business like this we would not be. WORST costumer service EVER!! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!

This guy had his assistant work a total of 1 hour 10 minutes and charged me for 2.5 hours at $87.50 per hour ONLY for the labor.  When I asked about the charges he said that he is master plumber not a handyman that is why he charged that much. He said that even though they didn't work the full 2.5 hours he was charging for driving from his office which is 10 minutes from my house.  So according to him it took them 2.5 hours just to change the washers and seats from the shower handles.  You want to hire this guy?  go ahead, his number is up there.

Called at 10:30 AM for a clogged main. Was exciting hear a tech would be here in 30-45 minutes.
90 minutes pass & no one showed up so I had to call & follow up. I was told this time 2 more hours because someone had truck problems.
No one shows up after two more hours so I call again.
This time I was told 90 minutes because the tech was just finished with another job & is headed my way.
3rd time calling after not being contacted that the timeline they gave me was still running late.
I call exactly 60 minutes later for the 4th time to see when a tech would be arriving. I was told another hour.
After another hour passed I called to cancel & was told a tech will be here in 45 minutes.
I kindly declined because no one had show up the previous 5 times I was told, why would this be different?

I waisted my entire Sunday waiting for no one to show up.
Unreliable & unapologetic. Not once did they apologize for all the screw ups.

The rep that came out to look at the job charged $400.00+ just to tell us that he could not do it like we wanted. Then he came in with an outrageous price to do a simple job of hooking up a washer and dryer. The guy definitely needs some people/sales skills. He took me for $400.00 but that will be the last dollar he ever sees. I hope this stops someone else from being raped across the coals. He was proud to tell me there are only so many plumbers licensed to do work in Texas, well the others will get a chance to make money.
