All reviews for Howard's Plumbing Co

This company has truly become my top choice for any plumbing concerns I encounter. As someone who has faced overcharging on home repairs in the past, I really value how these guys are always ready to diagnose the issue. They’re great at reassuring me when it turns out to be something minor, like the time I worried about frozen pipes, but it was just a sink faucet acting up at an inconvenient time. They are honest, respond promptly, and always show courtesy. I happily recommend them to friends and family. I recently had them move my washer and dryer’s water, drain, and gas lines as part of a kitchen and storage room remodel. They did an outstanding job again! Then, when the P-trap under my kitchen sink came loose and I couldn’t reach it, my son attempted to fix it but struggled to get the pieces back together. Jeffrey came out, took a quick look, and immediately noticed we had the washer installed incorrectly. He fixed it in just a couple of minutes, tightened everything up, and didn’t try to push any unnecessary repairs or charges. It took less than 10 minutes, and there was no fee. They really are honest about their work and pricing. You can’t beat that from a company you might need for an emergency repair someday.

We accidentally dropped a toy car down the main shower drain, which caused it to back up. Another plumber told us they couldn’t help unless we broke up the shower slab and did major repairs, which would have been really expensive. I called Howard's Plumbing Co. for another look, and Jeffrey arrived in less than 30 minutes. He got the car out quickly and the water is running perfectly now! I even had him replace an outdoor hose bibb the same day. They saved us a lot of money and were friendly, quick, and really efficient. Highly recommend for any plumbing issues!

Fantastic service and will definitely call again for any plumbing needs. We first reached out to get our water heater fixed and were given a price that really worked for us, and the repair was done quickly and correctly. A while after that, we had another plumbing issue come up. This time, we needed another fix and got a great price along with expert advice from Ralph. The difference in both knowledge and price was impressive. The person who answers the phone is always friendly and helpful. I’ll be sticking with this plumber for all future jobs.

While my husband and I were away on vacation, we received a call letting us know that our basement drain had backed up and caused flooding. We were in a panic trying to find a plumber who could come out quickly, and Ralph was able to make it to our home in Brenham in under an hour. He worked hard on the drain for several hours and even returned the next morning to make sure everything was properly fixed. Ralph’s quick response made a huge difference, preventing water from sitting and causing more problems. He also kept us in the loop with updates throughout the process, which we really appreciated. The work was done very professionally, and he left the area clean and tidy. We're extremely thankful for how fast and efficiently Ralph handled the plumbing issue.

I needed help with some basic plumbing tasks around my house because I wasn't sure how to handle them myself. Tucker, the plumber who came out, was fantastic. He quickly turned off the water line to my refrigerator for me and took a look at a toilet repair I had tried to do earlier, making sure everything was working properly. Tucker also took the time to show me the correct way to turn on my shower, which I didn’t know before—he explained it all without making me feel silly. Even though these were pretty simple plumbing fixes, it was great to see that they handle small jobs just as well as big ones. Their communication was clear, and their service was top-notch. The plumbers here really know their stuff and are super helpful!

my water heater started leaking a ton of water all over my basement floor. i called for plumbing help and they sent tucker out that same morning. he was really friendly and got right to work. by lunchtime, i had a brand new water heater installed and most of the mess was cleaned up. as someone dealing with serious health issues and living alone, tucker really made this stressful situation much easier. i always call these plumbers when i need help and they never let me down. highly recommend their service!

Everyone I spoke with was respectful and helpful, and I really liked that I could get a plumber out to my place in Brenham the same day I called. I had another company check my plumbing problem earlier, and they told me the pipes couldn't be fixed and that plumbing systems only last for ten years, so since mine was older, I needed all new pipes. Ralph came out and had everything working again in just a few minutes, but also took extra time to inspect the whole system for any other leaks or issues. He explained exactly what was wrong, showed me the part that was causing the trouble, told me how it worked, and what he did to fix it. He even let me know about a common issue with my type of system so I could watch out for it in the future. Ralph was super polite and friendly. Even without my earlier experience with the other company, I feel like this plumbing team is honest and does really good work. I’m definitely saving their number for any future plumbing repairs. Update: I still call them whenever I have a plumbing problem, and the service is always great. My water heater started leaking and they made sure to fit me in quickly for an emergency water heater replacement. The old heater was in much worse shape than I thought, and it turned into a tricky job, but Tucker handled it perfectly and kept things from getting worse. I really appreciate all their help and still recommend them to anyone needing a plumber!

Ralph was the plumber who came out to fix our leaking kitchen sink at our home. He replaced the basket strainers and all the pipes under the sink. Since he only had two different kinds of basket strainers on his truck, he used both so the job could be done right away, rather than making us wait for a return trip. While working, I asked about adding a whole house water filter, and he explained the options. He even did a free water test and found out our water had a higher iron level and some bacteria, likely because there’s no chlorine in the water. Ralph showed me which water system would work best for us and gave a clear estimate. After Ralph finished, I realized I wanted both basket strainers to match in our newer sink. I called back and they were happy to put me on the schedule for the next day. Ralph returned and quickly swapped one of the basket strainers so they matched. He was very friendly and patient throughout the whole process. I was impressed by the team’s professionalism, plumbing know-how, and how they always called ahead before coming out. I highly recommend Howard's Plumbing Co. if you need a reliable plumber!

We had a plumber come out to help with a tricky problem—a rock was stuck in our main sprinkler shut-off pipe and causing a leak. Caden worked hard using all his plumbing know-how to try and get the rock out without having to dig up the area, and he was very careful and thorough during the process. Even though the rock was tough to remove, Caden’s efforts showed he really knows his stuff. On another visit, he also checked our furnace, cleaned out the vent, and gave us helpful tips to keep everything running smoothly. We’re really happy with Caden’s dedication and plumbing skills. We’ll definitely call on him for any plumbing or HVAC needs in the future!

I recently had a problem with my hot water heater leaking, even though it was still under warranty. I reached out to a local plumbing company in Brenham for help. After a couple of visits, they managed to fix the issue completely and made sure everything was working perfectly. The team was very patient and professional throughout the whole process. Big thanks to Ralph, Jeffrey, and Caden for their hard work. I’m really pleased with the service and will definitely call them again for any plumbing needs. The staff and the service were excellent!

We had a leak coming from our downstairs toilet that needed fixing. I used the online chat on the plumber’s website, which made it really easy to set up an appointment. Tucker and Jeffrey showed up the very next day, right on time. They explained all the different options, from just repairing the toilet tank to installing a brand new toilet and fixing the wax ring. I chose to have a new toilet put in, and they were able to handle everything during the same visit—no need to book another appointment, which saved me a lot of time. The price was fair for the quality of work and quick service. Tucker and Jeffrey were both friendly, professional, and did a great job explaining everything. I’m really happy with how quickly they got my plumbing issue sorted out, especially in this Texas heat when you don’t want to wait around for repairs. I highly recommend this plumbing service and will definitely call them again for any plumbing needs.

when i found water pooling in my basement from an old hot water heater, i was stressed out and worried. after calling, the person who answered was really calm and professional, which made me feel better right away. tucker and ralph showed up that afternoon to check everything out, and figured out i needed a new water heater. they got one and came back later the same day to put it in. they explained the whole process step by step and made sure to clean up all their tools and mess before leaving. i would definitely recommend this plumbing company to anyone needing help with their pipes or water heater.

eli responded quickly to a plumbing emergency at our community center and took care of every detail, from finding the leak to making sure the cleanup was spotless. even though it was late, he stayed friendly, helpful, and professional the whole time. his great attitude and hard work really stood out, and i'd recommend him again and again. the team made sure everything was fixed so we could open for our guests the next morning. eli is truly a superstar plumber and does top-notch work!

we got excellent service from the plumbing team. from my first phone call to the end of the job, everyone was friendly and professional. our main sewer line was clogged and started backing up water into our basement, but they handled it quickly and carefully. tucker and his helper showed up at our place in brenham within a couple of hours and had everything fixed in under an hour. the prices were fair and they explained everything before starting. both plumbers were neat, polite, and made sure to clean up after the job. i’ll definitely use them again for any plumbing problems and will let my friends and family know about their great work.

Caden arrived right on schedule and acted very professionally, getting the plumbing work done quickly and efficiently. He also made sure to leave the area spotless before finishing up. I highly recommend their plumbing services. A short time later, we had another plumbing issue—this time with a main drain clog that wasn't related to the earlier repair. Caden came back, figured out that the main sewer line was blocked, and explained there was no clean-out access close by. He found exactly where the problem was, replaced the damaged section of the sewer pipe, and even added new clean-out access points for future maintenance. Caden was always quick to respond and kept us informed the whole time. The whole experience was smooth and stress-free.

the team was fast and really showed they care about their customers, not just the job. when our apartment complex in brenham had trouble with the water heater again, they remembered us from before, which was impressive. this time, eli came out, fixed the water heater quickly, and explained what could be causing the issue so we can keep an eye on it. they go the extra mile and make sure you understand what's going on with your plumbing. i highly recommend howard's plumbing co. for any plumbing problems or appliance fixes. we’ll definitely keep calling them whenever we need a reliable plumber!

I had a fantastic experience with this plumbing company in Brenham. Late one Friday night, a pipe burst in my house, and I was really worried about having to wait until Monday to get it fixed. I found their number online and called their emergency line around 11pm. I was surprised and relieved to actually talk to someone right away. They sent Tucker out to my home the very next morning, even though it was a Saturday. Tucker was great at explaining what needed to be done and walked me through each step of the plumbing repair. He worked quickly and got everything fixed in no time. After finishing the job, he showed me the damaged pipe and explained exactly what had happened. I really appreciated the honesty and professionalism. I will definitely call them again if I need a plumber. Highly recommended!

we had our house built a long time ago and never had any water problems in the basement until recently. after some heavy rainstorms this year, water started seeping into a back corner of our basement. a friend who knows a lot about home repairs told us to call a plumbing company instead of doing something drastic right away. they sent out caden, who showed up right on time, even though it was one of those typical texas days—hot, muggy, and humid. i walked caden around the yard, showed him the drains, culverts, and the basement. within minutes, he explained what could be causing the issue and pointed out a few things i hadn't noticed. caden got right to work. he grabbed his tools and started clearing out the culverts and yard drain tiles, using a water jet to blast away all the dirt and blockages. he also took care of the downspout and sump pump discharge lines, making sure everything flowed like new again. then he moved inside and used his equipment to clean out the sump pit and basement drain tiles, making sure water could flow freely in both directions. after caden finished, we had another big storm with heavy rain, and this time the yard drainage worked perfectly—no water in the basement at all. we’re really happy with the service and feel much better knowing our plumbing and drainage are working as they should. great job!

After dealing with a different plumbing company that charged way too much and didn’t finish the job, I reached out to another plumbing service on a friend’s recommendation. I’m so glad I did! The owner personally came out to look at my leaking pipes and gave me a reasonable estimate. Soon after, Jeffrey and Logan arrived and spent hours repairing everything. They were very professional, worked quickly, and made sure all the plumbing issues were fixed. The office team kept in touch, answered my questions fast, and sent my receipt right away. I’ll definitely call this company first for any plumbing problems in the future.

We recently hired a local plumber in Brenham to handle a full re-pipe of our home, switching out the old copper pipes for new PVC after we noticed some leaks. From the first phone call, I felt confident we were making a good choice. We had about five different plumbing companies give us quotes—while this plumber wasn’t the cheapest, they also weren’t the most expensive, and their solid reputation and organized approach to re-piping stood out. Ralph was our project manager, and he was very professional and straightforward from the estimate all the way through to the end of the project. The team showed up early on a Friday, started at 7:30 AM, and wrapped up the entire re-pipe by 2:30 PM—which was impressive for such a big job! There were a couple of small bumps along the way, but the crew handled everything quickly and made sure we were taken care of without any hassle. It's clear they stand by their work, which isn't always the case with every contractor. After the plumbing was done, we left the access holes open over the weekend, and the drywall crew came in first thing Monday morning. They finished patching everything up by the afternoon and did an excellent job. The only thing to note is that painting wasn’t included, but I’ve learned that’s pretty standard. We have a painter lined up to finish the touch-ups. Overall, we’re extremely satisfied with the whole experience. Re-piping is a big project and a significant investment, so it was important to us to hire the right people. I can confidently recommend this plumber to anyone in Brenham considering a similar job. Their drywall crew also did fantastic work, making the process simple and smooth from start to finish.

We recently had two complete water heater systems replaced in our home and had some questions about the hot water and antifreeze mixture connected to the plumbing. Eli came out and clearly explained how the antifreeze in the pipes should be measured. He showed us how to use the test strips to check both the freeze temperature and the acid concentration in the water, making sure to keep the acid levels low to prevent any corrosion in the pipes. Eli did an outstanding job of explaining everything in a way that was easy to understand and showed us how to take proper measurements ourselves. We feel confident that our plumbing system will work great and safely, even during those hotter Texas days. Very satisfied with the service!
