Best Businesses in San Antonio, TX

George was cool.  When first contacting him, he actually tried to walk me through how I might be able to fix the issue on my own, and save myself some money. But after explaining to him my full problem he agreed to come by that same afternoon and took care of the issue quickly and efficiently.  

Previously, I had gotten a quote from another company and a fairly young employee, who -- in retrospect -- couldn't have had a lot of experience... had given me a quote that was (no joke) over $4k to essentially replace a large number of valves. crazy.

George arrived, had the problem worked out within a half hour; fixed within 2 hours; and all for a couple of hundred bucks.  1/20th of the original quote.

I intend to keep calling George for all my future sprinkler needs... he's shown himself to be a fair, hard working and honest.

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.

I called and he was here in 15 minutes he was professional job he did excellent job, reasonable prices  too. I was freaking out thinking it was seriously going to cost me.

0 stars for workmanship and threat to void warranty that I paid for:  We saved up for years and just spent over $7000 (paid in full) to have Austex Sprinklers install a system on our small lot and install sod in Dec. 2019.  Not only did they not pull a variance from the City (for watering to establish the sod), but they programmed the system against the City's allowances - Resulting in an $800 water bill (from the previous $30 I was used to paying).  The ground was not properly prepared for the sod.  We met with the City water auditor on site and they made Austex Sprinklers program it to City standards and during the City water hearing I attended, they noted their programming error again.  The sod was placed and had divots of 1 and 1/2 in causing us to trip multiple times.  When we asked them to roll it, they said they did, even though we never saw them do it and were here at all times.   I had another company come in and correct the issues.  They charged a lot of money but they brought in a lot of soil to fill all of the divots Austex should have done - plus this other company rolled it.  The compay noted serious issues with Austex's work - in the receipt for the corrective work.  Phil and Austex Sprinklers threatened to void the warranty if I disclosed the programming and variance issue plus poor workmanship.  They also billed me for 2 meetings to try to resolve this issue.  These issues should be covered by the warranty I paid for - and should have been resolved by them but were not.  They are threatening to sue me for disclosing our situation and providing receipts to correct their errors.

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.

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!

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!

This company is a nightmare!!!
RUN!!! Do not use them!!!

When my AC went out I was refereed to them by my warranty company and it has been Hell ever since.
1. They took one month to submit the report to my warranty company. I had to contact the warranty company request the report... Then an additional two-three weeks to replace my AC after the parts were received.
2. It has been impossible to get a  hold of anyone via phone, the manager responded one time via email - nothing helpful.
3. The technician ruined the power source of my water heater ( even though they were there to replace my AC)
4. The technician puncture a hole on a pipe in my attic causing a leak into my ceiling. And left a huge mess in my attic!!!!!!!!!!!!! ** still cannot get a hold of anyone..
5. Once they received payment from both the insurance and I, they have disappeared and are not to be heard from.

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.

My neighbor had used Roto-Rooter years ago for the exact plumbing problem I was having, and she didnt have problems. So I scheduled service online. I was very detailed from the start, explaining that I live in a Manufactured Home that is 20+yrs old. That I have a waste water line clogged and its causing waste water to back up into the shower and toilet etc. I put in the wrong area code for my contact number, and did not realize this until no one showed during the scheduled time. I called the company and the woman said they had been trying to reach me, and that they could still make it that day. They would be here within 2 hours. They never showed. Since I initially screwed up, I decided to reschedule the appointment. The techs arrived on time and were very friendly and informative. The price I was quoted was $450 to unclogged my line. Ouch! I agreed and they went to work. After about n hour and a half of what sounded like the flooring in my home was being ripped apart, they informed me that I would need to have a Clean Out installed because my line makes a left turn to head to the main line and the Snake could not make that same turn. All homes have them normally. I asked what that would cost and they called their supervisor and they quoted me a price of $1300-$1500. I decided to shop around. They explained that once I got the Clean Out installed I could just give them a call back and they would come clear my line. They did not charge me for their time and effort, which I thought was cool.

I got the Clean Out installed for $500, and my friend who installed it informed me that I had a new leak. He said it was where 2 pvc pipes are joined. The leak was not there prior to Roto-Rooter. I made a note to point it out to the techs when they arrived. On Tuesday I scheduled service for Wednesday mid-day.

In my request I stated I had gotten the Clean Out installed and needed them to come back and unclog my line.
The tech that arrived was not one that had been to my home on the first service call. After getting him up to date on what had transpired with my clogged line, he informed me that Roto-Rooter does not service mobile homes. I told him they did a few days ago. He said he couldn't assist me and left. I called the company and was told by the female on the other end that Roto-Rooter does not make service calls to mobile homes. I told her that her techs were not a figment of my imagination. She basically hung up on me.

I was upfront from the beginning about this being a mobile home. How did they come up with the $450 they were gonna charge me to clear my line? Did I really need the Clean Out put in? Or was that a scam to try and get me to fork over that kind of money? What about the leak they caused?

My advice based on my experience is this, dont call or use this company.

Did they get the job done? Yes. Was the pricing fair? NOT AT ALL. I would have said no to them doing the work if I didn't need the repair to turn my water back on and had time to get anyone else. $105 per hour and the time starts from the moment they leave their office to get to you. It's 7 miles from my house and it took them 40 minutes to get there (no traffic). Instead of the repair I needed, I opted for them to just put a cap on the PVC pipe so I can reopen the water without it spilling in my yard. He was quoting me some 3 to 5 hours worth of work for something I know takes less than an hour. I have done the repair myself before but could not do it this time because my dogs broke the pipe to where the repair had to be done under the crawl space in the house. I live alone with a special needs child I cannot leave alone in the house, otherwise, I would have done it myself. The total cost to do it myself would have been maybe $30, with all materials and tools needed for what he did. He charged me $31.50 for a PVC cap that is worth less than $1, and for using PVC glue and primer that he clearly already had open from doing normal jobs. Charged me 2 full hours when he was only there 1 1/2 (of which 40 minutes were spent driving from the office to my house). Total $240 to install a cap on my PVC pipe so I can turn my water back on.  

Don't get me wrong, they did the job right, the plumber was very nice and professional, but being they were local, I thought their pricing would be better. There is no value in the service they provided. Way too expensive. Even Roto-rooter was gonna charge me less, but they could not make it until the next day and I needed to turn on the water. Very disappointed with the pricing.
