From the moment you pick up the phone to make an appointment to the day you receive the bill in the mail the entier process has been super. These guys ooze professionalism and their pricing is the icing on the cake.

I have been slowly rehabbing a 75 year old house with mystery plumbing. Over fifteen years I have had occasion to use at least four different plumbers, none of whom seemed to do a very good job, and who often left me with more problems. This particular problem had been botched by another plumber who, although paid, never completely fixed the leak and left a big muddy mess, including handprints all over the back of the stucco house. I cut my losses and consulted Angie's List, read every review, and chose Wilson Plumbing. They fit me into the schedule that day; the man who came out was very polite and knowledgable and got the job done. I highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: An unused capped backyard faucet was leaking. Water was routed to another nearby faucet. Disconnected and plugged a line. Soldered a copper line in the same area that had been previously damaged.

Response from WILSON PLUMBING CO
Ms. L, thank you for providing your past and present plumbing experiences on Angie's List. There are a couple of items that you referred to that I would like to comment on. The first is your 75 year old home. Wilson Plumbing Company is located in the old 1930's neighborhood grocery store building in North Hyde Park (47th Street), and one of our specialties is older homes. Terry Wilson is a third generation plumber, and is well versed in plumbing systems and homes both old and new. We appreciate the quality of materials and craftsmanship utilized in our beloved older Austin homes. We strive to create a synergy between the existing plumbing systems and the materials and craftsmanship at our disposal today. We have witnessed many incidents of poor repair attempts on older systems utilizing improper materials and techniques. Thank you for the opportunity to shine when others have not. It is always rewarding to restore faith in the plumbing trade. Please feel free to call if you have any questions or plumbing needs. Thanks!

Wilson Plumbing was great. I coordinated with them to fix a toilet issue at the house my son was renting. They were great. Got the job done when they said and the price was reasonable. The best part is they billed me after the fact rather than demanding a credit card. it's nice to know there are companies that still do business the old fashioned way on trust. I would highly recommend them. Thanks Wilson Plumbing.

Mr. M, over the years, I have grown to understand the importance of trust and communication when working with out of town customers, and enjoy being the "eyes" for those customers. I can only imagine the difficulties encountered in selecting and managing the relationship with a trades person from an out of town location. Please let us know if we can be of any help to you in the future. Thanks again!

Went very wellTerry Wilson's diagnoses was dead on
Description of Work: Called Wilson Plumbing on a Friday afternoon to get a leak fixed under the kitchen sink. Terry- the owner - said that they were booked solid till the following Monday. I explained that I had to shut off the water in the kitchen, which meant that I would be unable to use the kitchen all weekend and that I would be out of Austin next week and my daughter would be at work. I tried get him to see if he could fit me in late Friday or even on Saturday - if possible which he couldn't. He was the third plumbing Service Co I had called from the Angies List and they all had the same answer and would not go the extra step to get me over the weekend with a leaky kitchen sink. Terry Wilson was different. Terry listened to details of the problem and diagnosed it over the phone and described in detail as to what could possibly be the cause. He described in great detail as to how I could take different parts apart and what I would see and how to go about being my own plumber to get me over the weekend. In spite of the fact that he could possibly be loosing the business he was very friendly and patient and explained everytrhing over the phone and even gave me the nameof a plumbing parts supply for replacement parts.I am happy to report that his diagnoses was dead on.Thank You Terry. I have given your name and address to my daughter for her to call you without hesitation anytime she has a plumbing problem. I am sure that she cannot go wrong with the service call from a person with your integrity insight and experience.

The Member's Residence, I would like to thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed post on Angie's List, even though we did not provide physical plumbing services to you. I can not count the times that we were able to provide over the phone diagnostics and guidance to empower our customers. We do hope to visit your or your daughter's homes for future plumbing needs should they arise. Thanks again!

I called on a Sunday. I promptly received a call back on Monday morning. The scheduler was very thorough. He told me all of my options on new garbage disposals and we decided which one was best for me. He then said that he could bring one or I could save some money and pick one up from Home Depot. I picked it up on Monday. The installer arrived ON TIME between 8-8:30 on Tuesday and installed it in less than one hour. I was very impressed and will be contacting Wilson Plumbing in the future.

It went fantastically. I was referred to Wilson Plumbing after having 2 bad experiences with previous plumbers. He was here for over 5 hours and did an excellent job. Wilson plumbing was professional from the get go. Their hourly rates are at the top end but they are worth every penny. Later when I noticed the shower water lever went from a direction a didn't prefer they came back immediately and turned it the other way. The new valves under the sink and toilet that turn off the water supply turn off w/ a quarter turn instead of many turns which makes it much easier for my hands when they hurt. I will use only them in the future for all my plumbing needs.

It was a positive experience. They were friendly. The way that I knew to call them was that they had worked on job sites where I had worked as an electrician. They were friendly to me on the job sites. It was good quality work. Their responsiveness was pretty good. I don’t remember if they were punctual or not.

Great. See details above.
Description of Work: I contacted Wilson Plumbing to provide a bid for replumbing my house. They sent a master plumber over who walked through, examined systems, and provided a detailed reasonable bid. The plumber obviously understood the systems in place and how to modify and replace with newer piping. I do intend to use them to do the replumbing work, however we decided that it would be best to do in the cooler months.

I think Wilson Plumbing is probably the best plumbing contractor in the Austin area. Of all the problems they had to fix (and there were a lot of them) there was not a single problem for which they didn't know exactly what they needed to do. Terry Wilson is the 3rd generation owner and master plumber. He oversaw the work. The two men that he had on the job were punctual and professional. This is a 6,000 sqft, $2 million home and Wilson Plumbing did a job that was done correctly and has taken care of all the plumbing problems that I otherwise would have had.
Description of Work: I built a new house. The builder I hired went bankrupt and I had to finish the construction. The builder's plumber that did the rough plumbing had left a lot of problems. I needed a plumber that I could count on to correct the plumbing problems and finish the job correctly. Wilson had done some work for me before, so I hired them.

I requested estimates from three different plumbers on Angie's list for work on two slow drains - kitchen and bathtub - and a toilet that didn't fill properly after flushing. Two estimates, including Wilson Plumbing, were about the same, and one was quite a bit higher. I discarded the high estimate, and chose Wilson for three main reasons: their plumbers all have several years of experience, the company isn't part of a chain, nor does it boast a huge staff (I've discovered with the chains and large-scale businesses, accountability and attention to detail seems to get lost along the way), and I was impressed by Terry's professionalism and courtesy when we discussed my problems and set up the appointment. Chris was assigned to do the work for me. He arrived promptly, took care to keep my floors and the work areas clean, and was efficient and knowledgeable. He had everything with him he needed to do all the work, and didn't need to make a trip to the plumbing store (on my dime!) as my previous plumber did. I thought I would need to have both drains cleared, but Chris diagnosed the problem in my kitchen sink as related to my garbage disposal, and showed my how to avoid problems in the future by regularly running the disposal. The plumber who worked on the problem previously didn't understand the cause of my problem, and provided only a temporary fix at a price tag of over $100. I applaud Chris' expertise in diagnosing and fixing the problem. While Chris was working on the sink, he also noticed a problem with the drain assembly and repaired it immediately, even though it wasn't on my original list of concerns. He was familiar with the toilet problem and fixed it by replacing some key parts. My experience with Wilson Plumbing was excellent. Their employees outstanding in service and skill - and they're friendly, to boot! - their service was timely and their prices are fair and reasonable.

Very well. The schedule unfortunately was adversely affected by a severe freeze just before our job was to start, and then Terry's crew was temporarily unavailable as a flu ravaged his staff for a few days, but they communicated with us very well about the delays, and it was clear they gave their best effort to complete the job as soon as possible.
Description of Work: We bought a house in an older neighborhood that turned out to be very near Wilson Plumbing's office. The 70 year-old plumbing needed to be replaced. Terry was impressively familiar with the neighborhood and construction of the house and its plumbing, diagnosed what needed to be done, worked with us on a very tight fit for a new water heater, was sensitive to budget considerations, and completed the work in a highly professional manner.

The result was probably the most amazing experience we have had with such a procedure. The service man arrived about 30 minutes after our call and went straight to his work. And within slightly less than an hour he had solved out problem. Beyond being prompt and efficient, he was very respectful of our premises, being careful to don slipcovers on his muddy shoes before he entered our house. Needless to say we would call the company again and would recommend them highly to others.

I cannot say enough nice things about Wilson Plumbing! They are fantastic. We had a *very* large plumbing job on our house built in 1960. The house had originally been built with cast iron waste pipes, which had begun to rust and crumble. We needed all new waste water pipes (about 80 feet). Plus, we needed some inside work done also. All told, this was about a $12K project. Terri Wilson and his staff were extremely courteous and friendly in our interactions. They always answer the office phone, and almost always someone was immediately available to discuss questions and concerns. Terri Wilson was extremely knowledgeable and really took the time to explain the project and its issues in detail. He was able to break things down into layperson terms that I could understand. This was a tremendous help, because this was a complicated project. Additionally, he was able to tell me what parts of the job didn?t need to be done right away. In several instances he encouraged me to not do some unnecessary work. The work was completed on time, and the plumbers always showed up when they said they would. Terri Wilson was very punctual to all our appointments. Wilson Plumbing is not the cheapest company, but you get what you pay for in this instance. They were not the most expensive estimate, either. Wilson Plumbing was the only company (among 4 interviewed) to break down all costs and let me know exactly what I would be paying for each part of the job. I highly recommend Wilson Plumbing.
Description of Work: 1. Replace all waste water pipes under slab. 2. Install new AC condensate drain 3. Replace existing tub drain from tub to under slab 4. Remove and replace hot and/or cold water stub outs (with new cut-off valves) on various fixtures including the hot water heater 5. Install new washer box and drain outlet in laundry room
