Best Toilet Installation in San Antonio TX

My hot water heater quit working. The came out, looked at the unit. Did not check the unit to see what the problem might be, just looked at it and proceeded to give a quote of $1900 for replacement. My unit is now working thanks to someone else who actually took the time to inspect it for the actual problem. Very disappointed in this company after reading all the great ratings they had.

Our appointment this morning (which I had thought was another day, but Mr. Rusev graciously came anyway) was indeed a pleasurable experience. He arrived promptly, quickly assessed the problem, and made the necessary adjustments. The price was reasonable, and certainly worth it. We have already asked him back, for another job. I give him my highest recommendation.

I got a quote from this company for re-plumbing my property. He said all the right things and appeared to really want the work. He took the time to put a quote together and send it to us. I called and tried to schedule the work, he said next week (Monday or Wednesday). He said he would let me know. We called him back on that Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday along with texting him. No answers. I really figured he was injured or something. I actually held out on finding someone else to do the work. We tried calling again from our phone and then from a friends, On the friends we got a call back immediately. The receptionist tried to say she did not get any of our messages or text from several of our phones. Apparently they did not really want the work. It would have been nice if they could have not wasted my time and just been honest from the get go.

Great at responding fast I. Giving quote and arrived early and good and notifying they would be early

Blue Lion Plumbing was recommended to me through Next Door app when I asked for plumbing recommendations. They did not disappoint. They are price competitive, genuine, reliable company. The plumber who came out both times actually did little tweaks that weren't part of the original job. He fixed my faucet so it wasn't spraying all crazy even though he was there to replace the bath and shower fixtures. I will definitely be using them here on out for all my plumbing needs!

Probably the least helpful person I called to help diagnose a leak in my yard. Was extremely short and borderline rude at times. The number of instances where I heard I can't answer that, I can't help you, I don't know was absurd. The only reason this is two stars and not one is because his prices seem decent, $115 an hour. Also like that he has appointments early starting at 8am.

Carlos did a fantastic job with the installation of our new toilet!  Very happy with this business' professionalism and friendly service.

Man - Alamo Water Softeners sure is racking up the 5-star reviews. Glad I can help.

A few months ago, we made a decision my mom's house (which my parents built new and were never told a water softener might be a good idea, but I digress) definitely needed a water softener. Years of hard water buildup around faucets, shower-heads, etc.

Made several phone calls (asked questions and received bids) and ultimately decided to go with Alamo Water Softeners. It was easy: I called, told them the situation, laid out the information, and based on what I said - they gave me their honest opinion as to what Mom needed.

There was none of this, Well, sounds like you need OUR special, 9-stage, intergalactic, award winning 12 pear shaped osmosis chambered water softener and filtration system at the BARGAIN price of $4,000.00! some companies try to sell you (I may have exaggerated a bit, but not much).

They simply said, This is what is sounds like your mom needs, and these are the price ranges.

Then, we scheduled a meeting and a technician (David) came to the house, explained the exact system they'd be installing, and answered all the questions we had. David was AWESOME! He was able to find us some additional discounts on a price that was already unmatched...

Day of installation (since I couldn't be there) the technician was gracious enough to call me before he started and after he finished to let me know all the work was done at Mom's. Talk about caring...

I highly recommend Alamo Water Softeners!!!

Spoke to Gilbert on the phone at 10a, by 1030 Matt was at my house and ready to get shit done. Knew exactly how to fix the clog in my AC line, and then also replaced some wrong parts installed on my ptrap under the sink. Previous AC guy out the day before had cut the drain line and Matt located that, and fixed it without me having to show him or tell him. Matt was pretty knowledgeable of AC units being that he's a plumber. Gilbert, keep him brotha!

$210 is what Gilbert guesstimated over the phone and that's what it ended up being so all in all, I'm pretty good with that if that's what it took to solve the pesky issue.

These guys are awesome! Came over with no issues to inspect my system and pointed out CO2 problem & were able to fix the system same day! Great service, great customer service, and great value! Noel & Jesse were professional, quick, and clean. Answered all my questions and were very knowledgeable about the HVAC system and explained why there was a problem & what it took to fix it. Very transparent about what they were suggesting and why. Recommend services!

Josh from Mr. Rooter came out promptly when I had a busted shower valve that forced the water to stay on and prompted me to shut off water to the entire house. He was thorough and efficient in providing an analysis of the problem and conveying it in an understandable manner.

I was back up and running quickly and the valve works better than I ever remember it working.

It's worth noting that although Josh operates as Mr. Rooter, he's still a local business that is 100% Veteran owned and a native of the area. This is the only guy I'll ever call for my plumbing needs in the future.

Guarantee Plumbing arrived an hour late to the appointment my wife scheduled days in advance.  The plumber did not apologize or acknowledge he was late.  I showed him the drain that was clogged, it was a simple clog and the only reason we hired a plumber was to save us a trip to home depot to buy a $26.91 pipe snake router (already ruined by Guarantee Plumbing being an hour late).  This appointment was originally supposed to be a Free Estimate.  After Guarantee's employee went to the laundry room to the clogged drain, he asked, Do you want the free estimate, or do you want me to just take care of it?  This is where I made my mistake, I said, I would like for you to just take care of it, knowing all the steps he had to take to unclog this drain.  Expectedly, he finished the job within 15 minutes using his pipe snake router attachment to his power drill.  I said Thank you for the help.  He then went off to take care of the invoice.  When he got back he gave me the invoice for $218.00.  This was simply ridiculous.  There was a $25 trip fee that didn't make much sense since it as a free estimation to begin with but, whatever, he did service the drain, that's fine.  Then, there was the $193 drain clog removal fee.  For 15 minutes of work and after being unapologetically late I paid Guarantee Plumbing $772 an hour.  I understand that it was my mistake to ask him to Go ahead and take care of it, but an honest company would see that their invoice was WAY off base, and in order to keep their clientele, change the invoice to something a little more reasonable.  In the end they did refund $50 making my payment $573.00 an hour, which is still outrageous.  I guarantee I will never use this company again, and I would not recommend them to anyone.   After all this they called me and accused me of not paying my bill, I read them my receipt and explained to them that this was a clerical error on their part.  This has been a nightmare.

My housemate came up with another plan, but Pete got back to me right away and gave a very reasonable quote. I would highly recommend Elite Plumbing based on that alone. I have a feeling I'm going to be telling my housemate I told you so.

Only had to wait two days for an appointment. They called the day of to confirm and again 30 minutes before they were to arrive. They also sent a picture and bio of the plumber that would be coming...David. He arrived in uniform with name tag and shoe covers. He was very polite, knowledgeable, capable and professional. Got the work done quickly and I didn't feel that the price was too bad especially after the military discount! Would recommend this company/David, and will use them again.

We first met Jaime about 8 years ago when he was hired by our contractor to do the plumbing for a new addition on our central Austin home.  He did all the work for a new master bath, added a tankless water heater and removed old cast iron plumbing from our 1940s home.  Two years later he came back to reroute the plumbing in our guest bath.  He did great work with both jobs and we never had any issues while we lived there.

In 2019, I referred him to a friend who was experiencing a plumbing emergency at his rental.  My friend was super impressed with Jaime's responsiveness and work and was incredibly thankful to have found an honest, trustworthy plumber to help out during an incredibly stressful time.

And in February 2021, we had a pipe break in our new home after the major freeze.  We were panicked that we wouldn't be able to get it fixed timely since it seemed like everyone else in Austin was dealing with the same issue, but Jaime came to the rescue the next day and fixed the busted pipe.

In the 8 years we have called on Jaime, every single experience was top notch. I don't know what I appreciate the most about him: his professionalism, the prompt communication, the excellent work or how wonderfully nice and pleasant he is. The fact that we have been able to call on him to work on every single home we have owned in Austin really speaks volumes about the quality of his business and his work.  Thank you, Jaime, for always being there for us when we need you. You are the best!!!

We had an excellent, and funny, experience with this company. They were on time, kind, polite, and fixed my issue within an hour. They even cleaned up everything and put my used towels in the washing machine for me! I will definitely use them again for my future plumbing needs!

Update: during the January chilly weather, my water heater tank stayed very quiet (perfect!). Installing the SmartJacket is very straightforward/DIY. But if your water heater tank is powered by natural gas it would be wise to have Big City Plumbing do the installation, because there are a couple of (safety related) things that need to be done that you may not be aware of.

Chris (Journeyman Plumber) and James (working towards becoming a Journeyman Plumber) did a great job prepping my home for wintry weather.

During last February's freeze my gas water heater had to run overtime, out in my frigid garage. Today Chris flushed the tank, spotted and fixed its dripping leak, and installed a SmartJacket Water Heater Blanket (I bought mine on Amazon) which is sure to pay for itself in reduced utility bills.

Also last February, despite slow-dripping  I had several frozen water pipes. James wrapped my outside faucets, and the interior lines that froze last year. I feel so much better prepared for if/when there's another cold spell in San Antonio.

I highly recommend Big City Plumbing. They have a very positive reputation, and they treat their employees well.

I scheduled a simple consult with AAA Auger. 3 DAYS IN A ROW they didn't show up, calling in the late afternoon to cancel. Never again.

Immediately after posting my review I was contacted by Jonny at Jon Wayne A/C. He was very helpful with resolving all my issues. I was very impressed with his customer service. They obviously take reviews very seriously. I was impressed with the quick response and resolution to my issues. Based on this new experience I have upgraded my review to 4 stars. I'm a fan now.

During the snow storm of 2021 a water pipe busted in my home. I called Roto-Rooter on a Monday and pleasantly found they were scheduling me for the next day.  Winter conditions continued and no show.  I called them at the end of the day and was told all scheduled appointments were moved to next day.  Next day no show, no call.  It's Friday and still no show, but what disturbs me most is no notice this whole time.  I only heard from them once and that's bc I called them.  Luckily my neighbor called A.L. Plumbing and after talking to their plumber he squeezed me in right there on the spot and fixed my problem.  A.L. Plumbing, 210-269-6346.  

I can't speak to R-Rs quality of service, but I can speak to their disregard for customer notification, time, and general courtesy.
