Review and analyze now for company Big City Plumbing and provide the analysis in the discussed format for the following reviews: '''Walked into garage to find out the water softener was pouring water from the top. Called out favorite plumber, Big City Plumbing.
All field plumbers were tied up on Long jobs, so she sent the master plumber who just happened to be in the office. He came right out and shut the water off to it.
They will replace it next week. Thank you!!! Big problems call for Big City Plumbing! I had a leaking pipe that I needed taken care of ASAP! It was flooding the basement, and help was required stat! I searched up here on Yelp, and found these guys.
Trinity, the receptionist was empathetic to my concerns and promised a speedy repair! Not long afterwords, Gilbert and Craig were headed out to my place, and got the problem taken care of fast, fast, fast. They made some recommendations on other potential problems that they saw, and gave fair prices to make some other repairs that I'd been considering.
They were full of great information. I was happy to see the pipe stop leaking, and was happy about the fair prices that they charged for such little notice.
The plumbers were clean around the house and didn't make a mess, and they showed up in uniform with a marked van. Things went well- I'll hire them again! Thanks, Big City Plumbing! Ask for Cris the Plumber.
Big City Plumbing is the best, period, end of discussion . I recommend this company to everyone that owns a home.
They are fair priced, skilled and fix all issues with a detailed report and photos that's emailed to you. I appreciate all of the professional support, customer service and exceptional service from Rafaela ( Admin) and Cris (Plumber).
I had a recent issue that another plumber quoted me $500+ dollars for and it wasn't even a guaranteed fix. The contractor who work for my property Magee said they would probably need to do major work and it would be $500 if they temp fix didn't work.
I called Big City Plumbing and not only did they permanently fix the same issue, they found the same issue in another bathroom and fixed it all for $175. I attached the invoice as proof.
You seriously can't trust other plumbers, but you can trust Big City Plumbing! I needed my water softener installed so made an appointment to have this done. it was a replacement of an old one.
Chris and Tim were professional and friendly and did a great job on the install. They installed and programmed my new unit and also installed a whole home sediment filter.
This is the second time I have used Big City Plumbing and I highly recommend them. 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.
My experience with Big City was great from the beginning. The technicians, Gerald and Timothy, were top notch.
Neat and efficient. I was a new customer and in a bit of a pickle.
I called and spoke with Amber and she was very helpful and understood my urgency. I was quickly booked for an assessment and serviced promptly after.
It was a pleasant experience. We purchased our old home and had several issues to take care of.
Big City was the most responsive, affordable, and upfront of the 4 plumbers I contacted. I'm very happy with their workmanship and I have already used them for several issues, including water softener and filtration system.
I'm a new homeowner and it can be scary to deal with big and expensive issues but I am SO glad I found Big City. Family-owned (husband and wife team) that does an excellent job with complex plumbing issues! They helped out my Mom after the major snow storm earlier this year (2021).
The plumbing team they sent to her rental was knowledgeable, timely and highly communicative! Definitely recommend for personal or commercial jobs. (The plumbers are all also randomly very handsome, which totally helps haha!) There are no words that I can say that would express the gratitude I have for this company and their crew! After being screwed over by a number of other companies that left wholes in my wall and holes in out pockets.
Rafaela, Patty, Amber, Travis and my friendly neighborhood plumbers that my son Bus Driver fell in love with, Luis and Tim has worked with us over the past year to help us fix all the issues with our plumbing. They even came back to do courtesy inspection to make sure everything was running good! They are extremely reasonably priced and will get the root of the issue quickly! Extremely grateful for finding this company and the wonderful Team! Thank you so for being patient with us and working with us! I cannot say enough good things about my experience.
i left a message very early in the morning and Travis called me back on his way to the office. When the nice lady who scheduled the appointment ( I wish I could remember her name, she was delightful!), talked with me, she gave me wonderful suggestions on how to deal with the situation in the short term that helped me get through until Luis and Donald arrived.
They were awesome. Very polite and got right to work.
They fixed everything very quickly, cleaned the area and made sure that I understood exactly what had happened and what we needed to do. All told, I went from panicked and unable to flush at 7am to totally fixed and chill by 11am! Best part - SUPER reasonable cost! Love this company!! Solid performance to repair our spigots.
Great upfront communication, arrived on time, and professional work . Highly recommend.
Gerald and his helper Tim just finished replacing my water heater and they were great! This is the second time they've been here already this year (different issues) and both times, they've been professional, extremely friendly, diligent and thorough! I also want to say thank you to Rafaela for guiding me through the estimate for services. I had received a quote from another company that seemed high so when I called Big City, Rafaela talked me through what the price would be through them and it ended up being almost half the other quote! Thank you to everyone at Big City Plumbing!! Called this company to repair my 3 compartment sink.
Told them that 2 out of the 3 is leaking. They only fixed one and said it was functioning.
Come to find out they repaired one and the other is still leaking and they are trying to charge me for the second one after I expressed that 2 is leaking. I would not recommend this place at all as they just tried to get more money out of me.
All he did was replace a T and charged me $225 for parts and labor probably not even worth $150. The absolute best plumbing company in SA! Chris and Joseph were amazing!! Very professional, nice, polite and knowledgeable! Will definitely call them again!! We had water damage in the room next to the shower room and Big City came out to inspect the cause.
Luckily it was a minor fix on my end and they were honest about the problem without trying to up-sell anything. I've always gone with Big City because they are very honest and upfront.
We have been using big city now for at least 2 years.. and have always had a great experience!! The owner has even called me to make sure I was happy with everything.
I can always call them and they get the problem fixed! No matter what it is! Contacted Big City Plumbing through Yelp's messaging system on January 14, 2020 at 9:31 A.M. Travis C.
replied five minutes later with a list of availability dates and times. He also provided a preliminary quote.
When I explained to Travis C. that I could not schedule an appointment by phone, he scheduled the appointment for me.
At 12:47 P.M., Travis C. confirmed my appointment for Monday, January 20, 2020 between 12:00 P.M.
and 2:00 P.M. On Monday, January 20, 2020 at 12:57 P.M., Tony and Josh arrived at my home.
Prior to beginning work, they wore disposable shoe covers. They also provided upfront pricing.
$295 for the following: (1) Haul away water heater. (2) Remove corrugated copper pipes and solder on male adapters for easy unthreading in the future.
(3) Remove cold-water supply shut off valve and solder on new lead-free copper-alloy ball valve (KITZ No. 858 600 WOG).
(4) Install stainless-steel connector (3/4 in. FIP x 3/4 in.
FIP x 24 in.). (5) Provide an extra stainless-steel connector for hot-water outlet.
(6) 90-day warranty that covers service and labor; however, "parts installed as part of the work by Big City Plumbing, LLC is covered by the manufactures warranty only. Customer shall have no recourse against Big City Plumbing, LLC for the defects in parts utilized." At 2:11 P.M., work and billing were done.
It has been three days since Tony and Josh were at my home; no defect in workmanship has been detected so far. I look forward to hiring Big City Plumbing again.
Homer and Josh were excellent! They were professional, knowledgeable and personable. I was told they'd arrive between 12 and 4.
They arrived at 12:35 and were finished installing a new toilet (and all cleaned up!) by 1:30. I purchased the toilet on my own and they quoted me an installation price of $165, including haul away.
That's exactly what I paid! They also took away the large box that my new toilet came in. I was very appreciative.
I would highly recommend Josh and Homer and Big City Plumbing. I will be using their services again! Another job well done! I've used Big City plumbing for years.
Toby did a great job today on my broken pipe. Their plumbers are always polite, courtesy, informative and prompt.
Owner, Travis is a wonderful and picks great employees for his company. Anytime someone needs a plumber, I always recommend Big City Plumbing! Thank you again, for always being there for my family.
Our water heater broke on a Sunday evening. My husband searched Yelp for plumbers and saw the great reviews for Big City Plumbing.
He sent them an email that night with our problem. At 9am the next morning, they called to schedule an appointment for 10:30am the same day.
They were on time, polite, courteous, and fixed the problem quickly. We highly recommend Big City Plumbing! Had a sewage backup and put a request for repair through our warranty company but soonest anyone was willing to come out was 4 days away.
Canceled the request and called Big City Plumbing from the time I called to getting someone to come out it was done all in one day and very professional. Will be using Big City Plumbing for all my plumbing needs.
I had to call your company back for the second time when my commode was not flushing again. I bothered Rafaela several times, and I really want to compliment her on her courtesy and her interest in my problem.
I really felt like I was talking to a good friend. The two plumbers who came out each time were also very polite, professional, and friendly.
The first time back in January Cris Shelton came with Tim. Yesterday, Cris came again, this time with Joseph.
I appreciated all the work they did to clear out my line outside in the rain. I even suggested that they come back another time when it was dry outside.
They said they were fine with finishing the job they started. i will happily recommend Big City Plumbing to any of my friends or relatives who need a plumber.
Thanks!!! They replaced our upstairs bathroom sink faucets. Homer was extremely friendly and very professional.
Great service. Highly recommend.
The employees that were sent out to our home were Knowledgeable and professional. Excellent customer service! Big City Plumbing is my go to vendor for all plumbing needs.
This most recently was made clear when we remodeled our bathroom and kitchen and the first contractor's plumber was a disaster. Calling BCP was the first really good move I mad on the projects.
Their team was responsive to all my needs even when the job was clearly extensive (we moved from an initial small shower to a monster walk in and relocated it to the other end of the bathroom). It was a massive project and they handled it with a grace and level of expertise that I have not found in any other plumber in San Antonio.
A definite 5 star effort! Fabulous service. Reliable.
Thorough. Plumbers had a great attitude when they were here doing a kind of nasty job.
These guys really came through! It was late in the day, and still made it to install a water heater! Pretty badass job they did, and I have hot water for days now! Joey and James arrived wearing masks and foot coverings on their shoes. They worked on a couple issues in my restroom - a busted toilet flange and leaking shower plumbing that needed replacing.
They worked quickly and efficiently. Joey explained what needed to be done and showed me the repairs once completed.
They didn't go over their initial estimate and charged me exactly what was quoted initially. I definitely plan to call Big City Plumbing in the future and will refer them to family and friends.
Chris, John, and Rafaela were wonderful! Chris and John came quickly and fixed the problem for a reasonable price. They were very professional and friendly! And they were wearing masks.
I just cannot say enough good things about this company and its employees! You will not regret calling them. We discovered a leak in our front yard on Sunday.
We called and left a message and were contacted first thing Monday morning. The technician came out that same day in the afternoon and fixed it within 2 hours or less.
They let us know they were on their way 30 minutes prior to arriving and their price was reasonable. Wonderful company! We were concerned about a potential gas leak by our hot water heater and called Big City to come check.
They arrived on time and did a thorough job checking the gasline for leaks. They found the problem and gave me an estimate to fix it right then.
I appreciated the fact that they didn't try to "up sell" the job. They just worked on fixing the issue with the leak.
This is the second time we've used this company and will definitely call them for any future plumbing issues. We had an unexpected recent water leak from a pipe to our hot water tank and needed quick remediation as we were due to leave town the next few days.
The staff at the office could not have been more accommodating, understanding and kind to send Travis out within two hours of my call and finding this active leak. Travis professionally found the issue and offered an immediate repair and arranged his day to do this.
We so appreciate the timelines, great price and peace of mind that this was solved and back in order! We always use their services for the last 8 years or so and we can't be more pleased with this friendly, trusting company! Thank you!! Big City Plumbing will always be our plumbing company. They saved us during the big freeze.
Our back yard spicket and pool fill valve blew and was shooting out water. We called 14-15 plumbing companies (one of which we used all the time) and none could come within three weeks.
We called Big City Plumbing. They had a crew working in our neighborhood and said they would be right over as soon as they finished the job they were on.
An hour later they arrived and fixed/insulated the spicket and fill valve. Then they didn't gouge us on the cost like all of the other plumbing companies were doing.
I have used them for all plumbing issues since then and they do good work at a fair price. I highly recommend them.
It was a pleasure working with Big City Plumbing. I am an out-of-town landlord so it's always difficult finding a business you can trust.
Kristin made the process easy and informative the entire way, from getting a quote to scheduling the repair to paying the invoice. Toby was on site exactly when scheduled, performed the work expertly and the final invoice matched what was quoted.
I will definitely use them again. I called on Friday afternoon as my sewer line was clogged and water was backing up into my bath tub.
They worked me in and at about 5:45 pm they showed up and quickly fixed me up by cleaning the line out all the way to where it connects to the sewer line in the alley. Office staff called me before she left the office for the day to confirm that they would be at my property within about 30 minutes.
Price was very reasonable. Thanks BCP! The service that Big City provides is first class.
Starting from my initial call, the customer experience is positive as the plumber arrived on time was very professional and explained the issue and process to resolve it. I would definitely recommend to anyone that asks for an amazing plumbing company.
Peter was awesome, patient and is overall good people!! I'm a happy repeat customer and will continue to be!! I highly recommend Big City Plumbing! The owner himself came over on Christmas Eve to fix our dishwasher. Christmas magic! Why aren't there more stars!! Big City Plumbing is simply the Best!! (Queue song).
I found them via Nextdoor recommendation and they have co e out twice to fix plumbing issues. This last time they out did any repair service I have ever had or imagined.
The men were professional and personable. I had a number of things I needed addressed and they took care of every single one on a timely manner.
In other words-they didn't milk the clock so they could charge me for more hours than needed. They explained what the issues were and how they were going to fix them-and verified with me that things were fixed before they left.
The customer support staff is on point as well. When you call you get a professional, pleasant person on the other end.
Not someone who seems annoyed that you called. They are willing to answer what you might think are dumb or annoying questions- and totally work with you to schedule a time that works with your schedule.
Obviously I don't wish for any future plumbing problems, but when they inevitably arise- there is. NO question who I am callin! I have used this company twice and both times I've been happy with the service.
Most recently this week I had them clear a sink and install a new faucet for me. I asked for pricing for each service and received a estimate.
When the crew was done I can say the price matched what I was told by phone. What was most impressive is that they adaptive to our new normal and upon making the appointment I was asked COVID questions to make sure their workers were safe and when they showed they had a mask and gloves and kept a good distance which was much appreciated.
It's stressful enough to have a stopped drain but to have it during COVID is double stress. Thank you all for easing that for me.
Appreciate the work they did unclogging bathroom sinks. It was an easy issue to fix but Luis and his partner( I can't recall his name) were efficient as well as professional.
This has happened before and other companies never offered an explanation I even think Big City charged less. Small but growing honest company.
Unprofessional, incorrect information given by operator on initial call. Didn't fix the issue with the first visit, had to come out again and wanted to charge an additional amount for something that was still broken.
Peter and his helper that came out today didn't even want to stay to try and help the issue while I was on the line with the operator trying to understand the wrong quote given on the phone. During which, the guys outside were in a hurry to leave and didn't want to wait while we sorted out the price details.
When Travis, the owner, called after the fact he said that the operator doesn't have the correct information because she isn't the technician. Hmm, but she is the front line of your company right? He wanted to argue and be unprofessional.
I understand it's Christmas Eve, people want to be home with their families but do not give out incorrect information to begin with, don't schedule your workers to work when the don't want to and don't argue with customers *after* the fact. I am well aware that "services aren't free" as Travis so *professionally* stated, but if the issue is still not working after they've attempted to fix the drain with a snake (even though we told them we already did that), a little ownership and good business ownership should at least be felt and offered try to help the situation and understand where the customer is coming from instead of arguing to try and keep their pride.
We recently had BCP come out to scope our lines during the inspection of our home and our realtor requested a quote on our behalf for the items found during the inspection as well as what was notated on our inspection report. We scheduled the appointment based off this correspondence and the assumption BCP had an understanding of the work that needed to be completed.
Upon their arrival, he seemed completed confused about what was supposed to be done and that his scope stated nothing about going under the home (which was called out in the report we provided). He stated taht he called the office and they claimed to have never received this information (our emails contradict this).
After wasting an hour I finally told the guy to leave since he had no idea what to do. When we notified them about the issues, Kristin responded stating that it was our fault and took no ownership of their deficiencies and inability to perform other than to offer us a 10% discount...This quote was used as part of our negotiations and now that it seems to have been inadequate we will end up paying more to have the required repairs completed.
*Update for Todd's response* Not sure if you read my review or not, but I already tried reaching out and this was your response. You are more than welcome to contact me with an amicable solution, but don't post on here as though you are trying to resolve the issue when no steps are being made on your part Had a communication problem about an install.
As it turns out the hot water heater was not leaking. Kristin was very understanding and we resolved the issue.
Thanks, Kristin . Steve M This has been a tough year for us plumbing wise! I've had to enlist the services of Big City several times for some major plumbing issues each time they have been prompt to help us and their work is very professional.
Each time they've come out when they promised and finished when they promised. My Plumbing Co for life! Charlie & Louis were great! Just remember, plumbing service is expensive regardless.
If I could do the work myself I would but I cannot. That being said, I began using Big City Plumbing this last year at my residence and now, I am using them at my rental.
I like Homer, the best. He is friendly and answers all my important and silly questions.
He tells me what to expect and what work he finalizes. He gives me advice and directs me regarding future plumbing work.
I have always had the staff answer my phone calls quickly and respectfully and book an appointment according to my needs. I am very satisfied with Big City plumbing and feel I can trust their promises, work and pricing.
I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of this service. This company was referred to me by a neighbor, and I'm so grateful because they were excellent.
We had an emergency, and they showed up the same day. They quoted me a price that beat out 2 other quotes that I received.
They were professional, honest, and fast. Can't get much better.
I will definitely call them again should I need plumbing services in the future. These guys rocked! After the big freeze we needed a new water heater and help with a clogged toilet, nothing emergency, so they told us they would put us on the list and get to us after the emergencies were taken care of.
It only took a few days. I wasn't expecting to hear from them for a couple of weeks so I was really pleased.
Peter Smith and Joey came out and replaced our OLD water heater, fixed our clogged toilet, answered all of our stupid questions and gave us recommendations. Totally professional all around.
Really pleased with the service. Will be my go-to plumbers going forward.
So nice to deal with a company like this, even including Rafaela on the phone. Thanks! TWO VISITS.
I had a leaky shower faucet because the hot water knob wasn't sealed right. They replaced it and it worked fine for a bit, but the same thing happened.
They gave me about $100 discount for the previous work, applied it to the new work, and replaced the two knob system with a single knob. Works great thus far.
Small complaints. I think they could improve their service if they left itemized receipts of any parts they bought as well as the services provided.
Speaking of parts, if parts are required and they know that ahead of time, they should have let me know so I can go out and find a set I like so they can install it. When installing the single shower knob, they left dust everywhere from the tile drilling.
Obviously, I don't expect them to clean my whole bathroom, but at least the tub area where they were working. They also kept leaving and coming back because they "didn't have the right equipment".
I understand there are different models, but surely there are general tools you should expect to have especially when the issue was explained before setting the appointment, ie "oh, I'm working on installing [item], so I usually need these tools". It's just little things that added up.
In conclusion, good work, could be better executed. Thank you Today I had Homer and TY from Big City Plumbing come to my home.
Both were extremely polite and professional. Having the same trouble arise several times after other plumbing companies had come I decided to give Big City a try.
I couldn't be more impressed Homer was thorough and was determined to find the issue versus finding a quick fix. Homer and Ty took great care in my home making sure to wear booties on themselves and there equipment even though I told them it wasn't necessary but they insisted.
I was also very surprised how reasonable the price was compared to the other prior companies had been. If you ever need a good honest company I recommend Big City.
Thank you Big City for sending Homer to my home today! Great response time, courteous office staff and very knowledgeable technicians. Great, reliable company with reasonable prices! We have been using them since the company started and have never had a bad experience.
Highly recommended! not what i wantes to deal with with hidays approaching. They came in were very profesaiinal and were reasonably prices.
I will call them again. Call BCP due to a clogged toilet.
They came out the same day and advised me that the toilet was clogged and one of two things needed to be done. The plumber called back to tell me he was unsuccessful but an invoice amount of $249 needed to be collected.
I have never had a company charge me more than a set trip fee when the problem wasn't resolved. I won't be using this company again.
Super pleased with this company. First review- showed up on time and was quick to respond with an answer to our problem.
Broken water line. Done within 20 minutes, since I dug the hole day prior.
Cris was courteous and answered my questions as to how to assess the problem in the future. Customer service was great and very thorough about pricing.
I give them 5 stars. Big City Plumbing is the easiest and most reasonably priced plumbers! Travis the owner really takes pride in his business and making sure all our plumbing needs were meet! They are very flexible and walk you through the entire process.
Audra the phone receptionist is one of the sweetest and most helpful people ever. They put customer satisfaction first.
We are a Bakery and will for sure be using them in the future for all our plumbing needs! It would be wrong for you not to book them! Needed service on an electric water heater. I've used Big City Plumbing several times in the past, and they're always done a great job at a very fair price.
Today was no different. Charlie did a Fantastic job, came within an hour of my call, and the cost was much less than I was expecting.
I'll always use them in the future for my plumbing needs. We renewed water softener with them.
I got quotes from some companies but Big City Plumbing had the best offer. Technicians are friendly, their representative Patricia is always polite and helpful.
Great service and very reasonable prices. I had them come and install a water heater and the gentleman Robert was a pleasure to work with.
He was very through and explained everything very well. I highly recommend them! Came in from out of town to help a friend to watch their house.
Found that the 1/2 bath was still not working and that the 18 yr old disposal was leaking. I called and Peter answered, set up an appt for next day.
Jeff came out and with in an hour did both jobs and left. Great work and very reasonable.
Peter answered my calls and appt times and was real patient in answering all my concerns. Thanks! Charlie came out and did a very good job, working in the attic during 90+ degree temps.
He noted that there was trap missing on the pipes, which I would never had known, and he returned to install that on the next business day. Very happy.
I compared prices, and they were much more competitive compared to other companies. One company gave me 3 different prices for the same job.
I also got a 10% discount for installing a water heater and water softener. Great service! Definitely recommend.
They came, they diagnosed, and they fixed it better than it was before. Recently purchased a home with a sewer leak, bathroom issues, and hot water problems.
They fixed them all and upgraded as needed. Their technicians were knowledgeable and patient with their explanations, and Travis (the owner) is easy to work with.
I highly recommend Big City Plumbing. Big City Plumbing totally came to the rescue for my family.
After a full year of dealing with several plumbing companies, we finally found one we can count on. We bought a very old home and with that comes issues here and there.
Most of the time when we had other plumbing companies come by to service our home it felt like saving me money was not their priority. They felt like salesman more than service technicians.
A friend of ours recommended Big City, which is how you hear about them because they don't spend a bunch of money on advertising. My wife was immediately impressed with the professionalism of Travis (owner).
He was able to get James over to our home the next morning. As soon as I met James I could tell right away that he loves his job and he enjoys helping people.
He accessed the situation and got the job done no problem - all while keeping us laughing with his great sense of humor. When he told us the price of the job we were amazed.
The job would only cost us an amazingly fair price. This is after we had some other plumbing company come by and THE OWNER came into our house - heard what we had to say, somehow knew exactly what the problem was, somehow knew he would have to excavate, and somehow came up with a $6,000 estimate!!! I know, insane.
Big City Plumbing is the REAL DEAL, and if you go anywhere else, good luck. Called them this morning and they were there within 2 hours.
Did a great professional job and even texted me a pic of the plumber and his history coming. Thank u! I called Big City Plumbing after dealing with other companies.
Robert came out and explained what we need to do, estimated how long it would take, and provided me with a quote. He even suggested to call and ask for a discount after purchasing a part from them.
Everyone I spoke with at Big City Plumbing were courteous and willing to listen to me. Great customer service!! From now on I will always call on Big City Plumbing for any plumbing work I need! Prompt and courteous and professional...everyone I dealt with were awesome! They quoted me a great price and they stayed with the price even when they had a few obstacles to overcome.
Totally satisfied!! These guys are awesome! I needed to have a water softener we had bought installed so I requested several quotes. Travis responded immediately and was very reasonably priced.
He sent Peter and Homer within a week to do the job and billed me as quoted. They were very friendly, cleaned up after themselves and even removed my bathtub drain cover which was encrusted with hard water deposit.
I highly recommend them! Big City plumbing did a fantastic job. My water heater was about 10 years old and needed replacing.
I called 3 of the top 5 plumbers in the San Antonio area according to yelp and all gave me quotes over the phone for replacing a 40 gallon gas heater in the attic. Big City plumbing was $500 less than the number one rated plumber on Yelp (BG Plumbing) for the same brand heater.
In addition, they were extremely responsive on both email and the phone. The morning of the service call I received a text with a photo and resume of the plumber who would be doing the install as a well as a call letting me know he was on the way.
All the work was done extremely well and for exactly the amount quoted (even though it probably required a little more work than expected due to some issues with the original heater installation). Highly recommended! Travis provides great customer service and has a great team.
He was willing to help me address a water heater issue and at reasonable price. James Bridges completed the service work and kept me updated.
Great customer service from them both. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED I am always skeptical of services like this but I must say that in my time of being a home owner this has been, hands down the best plumbing services I have ever used.
Before the plumber showed up I got a text with a picture and all the information I needed as well as some personal info on the plumber. Nice touch.
Tony came by and was very professional and within 30-40 mins was done with his job and called me to see it and verify that it was done. Well done Big City Plumbing.
You train your staff very well and customer service seems to big #1 for you guys. A++ rating from me.
Toby and Tye came by today to fix a leaking faucet in my backyard. They came promptly and on time, and got the job done efficiently and well.
Thank you, Big City! Big City Plumbing were friendly and efficient. Toby and his partner arrived on time and quickly worked out the problem with our toilet.
They had it repaired in no time. I will definitely be using them again.
Today was an eventful day in the crazy sense!! After watching what looked like a river running from my front lawn and having to learn from circumstance how to shut off my water main I was able to identify the issue was "our" problem. I reached for my phone and yelp! Guess what? I found Big City Plumbing! They are beyond what you would or could expect! PLEASE KNOW THIS IS MY HONEST OPINION! They called back within 3 minutes of my request for a quote! They promised to be here within 2 hours.
They sent their supervisor because he was closest and available. I can't tell you how satisfied I am!!! Fair pricing!! Beyond fair! They came and assessed the problem and had to run for parts..
after running and competing the repair (with smiles) they cleaned up my area with integrity and respect for the area. Did I mention fairly priced?! CALL THEM! You'll be amazed and I'm so impressed they are in my contacts list I have used Big City Plumbing on three separate occasions and have had a positive experience each time.
Phone calls have been answered promptly, a plumber has been dispatched quickly (same day I called for my 3 requests), and I have been pleased with the work. If you're looking for a trustworthy plumber like I was, I highly recommend Big City.
A week ago, one side of a rental duplex property had a water leak. I had asked some friends I know for names and numbers of plumbers.
Got responses, called and no answer. Then I remembered about Big City Plumbing.
I knew the wife of the owner and had referred people to them before, but I had never personally used their service. So I called to see if the could come for an estimate.
They were booked solid for the day, but they said yes, they would fit me in. I called back 2 hours later and changed my call from an estimate to repair.
They said no problem. On a bay they are booked solid.
A hour goes by and I get a text from a number I am not familiar with. I open the text, it is a photo of Homer, from Big City Plumbing, he will be the plumber that will be coming to my address and will be there shortly.
That is amazing. especially since I have not used this company before, I am now aware of who the plumber is, what he looks like and a time frame.
In this day in age, that is above and beyond! Then he shows up, my father explains the situation, voices all his concerns and everything he wants looked at, fixed and checked. Homer does everything my father asked, was very professional, did not talk down to my father nor did he assume my father knew what he meant to say.
Homer took his time, did an amazing job. Was so professional.
My father was pleased. Today, the other side of the duplex had an emergency.
I called Big City Plumbing, they were open today, Audra is so sweet and professional. Sets up an appointment for me and less than an hour later, I get a text message from Big City Plumbing with a picture of Charlie who will arrive shortly! Charlie gets here, fixes the problem, is so nice, professional, patient, courteous and did an impeccable job.
I have never had this type of professionalism and courteousness from a company. From the moment you call for assistance till the moment they drive away.
We will now only use Big City Plumbing! I will never do business with this company. Did not get job done correctly first time and left huge mess to be cleaned up both visits.
Professional companies clean up after themselves and do the job right because the ultimate goal is repeat business. Trust me this isn't the company.
This company is the best Plumbing company I have ever used. Quick, efficient, and so nice to work with, as well as reasonably priced.
I have had Peter and Homer for the last water problem, today, when water was pouring from an broken outside pipe, Travis sent James Bridges and Mark to the rescue. These people are the best you can find! I have to give this company 5 stars.
Professional from the immediate call back, to the patience in answering my questions, to prompt scheduling, called 30 minutes out, arrived on time, efficiently and expertly installed my RO system, answered all my annoying questions, lived up to the quoted price, no problem, cleaned up when done, made sure I was happy and no more questions etc etc. This was just for the RO system, which I had already purchased from Amazon.
Secondly, I had double the amount of questions regarding a future water heater replacement project. Travis patiently answered my questions, researched other models for me, etc etc.
They forwarded me spec sheets on two heaters for me to see the difference. When Peter arrived for the RO system install, he stopped and asked me to make sure I had received the emailed spec sheets on the heater.
I had interaction with 3 folks - Travis, Peter the installer, and the nice lady on the phone (Kristen? sorry I didn't write your name down...). All top notch professional, and did everything one could want from a customer-service oriented business.
Good job, and thank you very much. We had a slab leak, and Big City Plumbing was recommended to us by another plumber who couldn't do such a big job.
The guys who came out were friendly and professional. They found the problem and stopped the leak very quickly.
They couldn't repair it until the next day, but they shut off the leaking pipe so we could still use most of our water over night. They fixed the problem today by rerouting through the attic.
The price was very reasonable, and it's guaranteed for a year. I will definitely be calling Big City Plumbing next time we have a plumbing issue (hopefully in the distant future!).
I had a leak in my front yard. The first plumber I called gave me the runaround for a week.
I then called Big City Plumbing. The plumber, Milo, arrived on time & even though he had to leave to get some additional tools, he came back & finished the job within a couple of hours.
All repairs seem to be holding up fine. I would recommend Big City Plumbing I requested an estimate and was told somebody would come out the next day.
They were supposed to call me, but that never happened. Travis called me the day after and apologized.
He scheduled someone to come out that day to meet me. Half an hour later no one showed up, I called Travis back and he said the guy would be there in a few minutes.
Half an hour later the guy finally showed up, an hour late. The guy, James, was extremely nice and knowledgably.
He said he would have a quote emailed to me on Monday. Never received a quote so I called James.
I was told to call the office and they would have it for me. I called the office and they said the quote was not ready and I would have it tomorrow.
Two days later and still no quote. Extremely disappointed.
I have had Big City Plumbing out several times. Travis has always sent someone out ASAP.
We live in a 1915 house which needs updating. Recently we were losing water pressure along with brown water.
Travis sent James out. James has totally improved our quality of life.
He checked all of our clogged faucet, repairing them. We finally have water pressure in our shower.
My dishwasher has never been as quiet. I couldn't be happier.
I have had both Peter and Jeff out with Homer, but it was James attention to the details, that has solved so many under addressed issues. ThanK you James! Your the best!!!
