Best Businesses in San Antonio, TX

I was VERY happy with George, he was very conscious of keeping the cost down. He told me what my options were, asked me what I wanted to do, and he fixed a major leak I had in my sprinkler system. George was gracious, loves dogs (BONUS), and very knowledgeable. George is a hidden secret in Austin that I am sure will not remain that way. THANK YOU, GEORGE!

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.

I've dealt with a lot of contractors during my 71 years but never any contractors better than Randy and Daniel with ET's Plumbing & Rooter. They installed a toilet for us and were very polite, clean and professional. Ron & Shirley C.

Highly recommend Mr. Jose Chavez (210) 815-3693. He does awesome work, is very professional and doesn't price gouge. He took the time to explain what he was doing. Definitely recommending him for plumbing needs.

I have to give Austex 1 star for a few reasons.  First, their person who came out to gave me a quote was not very knowledgeable.  I asked a question about underground drip line as opposed to above ground sprinklers.  She said that she didn't recommend it because of some problems they've hard from other clients.  I asked what kinds of problems and she didn't know.  She said she had heard of problems with that kind of system even though her quote to me was to include underground drip lines as part of the install.

I was also promised a quote within 48 hours that never came.  Please don't waste my time spending 20-30 minutes giving me the sales pitch only to never send me a quote.  What's worse is when I called to Austex to give them the opportunity to fix their customer service issues they failed again.  The sales person didn't have a supervisor but the business manager promised to give my contact information to the owner to have them call me with a day or two.  This of course never happened.  

Austex lost the opportunity for my business because their sales staff wasn't knowledgeable, never sent me a quote and their management does not prioritize customer service.  I cannot reccommend Austex.

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!!!

We purchased a new home that had some of the hardest water I have ever experienced.  My hands were cracked and bleeding, my hair was getting dry and brittle and we were going through our soaps and shampoos like crazy with little to no lather.  We were also concerned about how dry our babies skin was getting from their regular baths.  A friend of mine recommended Atlas Plumbing so I called and had a great conversation about our options.  They came over to the house immediately and took the time to look over everything and explain how the whole process would work.  They were very up front about the costs and potential risks of installing a water softener on an older home which I appreciated.  They also gave me best and worst case scenarios regarding how much we would spend so that there wouldn't be any surprises.  I was grateful that they recommended spending more on a better unit rather than buying a cheap system that wouldn't last as long.  You really do get what you pay for.  They started work quickly and it was so nice having them around for the couple days they were here working.  Such lovely personable people who were fun to chat with.  They were so kind to my two 18 month old twins who just adored them.  While they were installing the water Softener I also had them replace our kitchen sink with a nice deep basin and new faucet.  They did such a beautiful job.  They were so quiet, respectful, and clean while they were working.

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.

Great service. Very professional. They replaced my bathroom faucet, just as I wanted them to. Definitely recommend.

The toilet in our apartment wasn't working right. The complex wouldn't fix it so we had Franco's plumbing come in and do it. He figured out right away what was wrong and fixed it. He was very professional, came on time and did it all for a good price. It's a family owned company and you can tell he knows what he's doing. I would recommend them!

Very happy with this company.  The two guys were fast, friendly, and competent.  Their prices were very reasonable. I will use them in the future.

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.

0 stars! The owner Steve is rude and was yelling at me lying about a quote he gave me even when he did not! They charged me $426, they were here less than 30 min and did not send me a receipt. I called the office to ask for my receipt because I want to know why exactly I was charged that much and that's when the owner, Steve, starts yelling at me telling me because they did a job and that no one ever request a receipt! Do NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE THIEVES! Rude, and way over priced. The plumber was nice but not nice enough to be worth $426, and he had his young apprentice doing the actual work! DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY, horrible business practice. And they didn't even honor the 10% military discount
