Quincy is an amazing representative for your company. He has great communication skills and work ethic. Kudos Speakes Plumbing. Our go to for all things plumbing

I’ve used Speakes several times and they never disappoint. Timely. Efficient. Friendly. Fair. My go to for plumbing services bar none.

Casey and team did great installing our Tankless Water Heater today, so thankful for great service by Speake's Plumbing over the years since owning my homes since 2010, we always use Speake's Plumbing.

Kitchen drain backup. Could not clear from kitchen drain. Cleared from roof vent. Filled sink and checked the drain several times. Even took the extra step to check that the washer drained properly since the drains tie together.

Repaired a pipe section that corroded, which is hooked up to a gas line for our gas grill.
I always use speaks plumbing. They're honest, efficient, and reasonably priced. They guarantee their work and the Technicians are very professional.

They arrived during the time they were scheduled to unclog the drain. They were fast and efficient. No surprise charges. I would recommend them to anyone again and again.

Arrived for appointment in a timely manner. Lucas diagnosed the problem, fixed the problem and cleaned up in a timely manner. Everyone was very personable. Will definitely add them to my contact list and will definitely recommend them to friends and neighbors.

On point, reasonable pricing, there when they said they would be, all in all a great experience. I was referred by Joe Cook heating and air by Candy also a very wonderful family owned business. So so happy.

They arrived early. Diagnosed the problem. Fixed the problem. Charged me less than I thought it would be. I’m very pleased with the service. Didn’t try to upsell me anything. Will use them again if necessary.

These guys really saved my bacon. I had a water leak from the main to my house that was flooding my yard. They showed up in a hurry and fixed it in about an hour. I really appreciate how fast and courteous they were. I give them 5 stars!

We love Speakes Plumbing! They worked us in to unclog our sewer line on December 23! Everyone on their staff is courteous and professional. Highly recommend!

Always the best experience. Mike and David were great! Love referring Speake’s Plumbing to friends and neighbors.

Speakes plumbers are always friendly, polite, do great work! They take care of the work area in or around your house and do a good job cleaning up once work is completed.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Randy and Jacob from Speaks Plumbing, and I couldn't be more impressed! They replaced my water heater, which was still under warranty, and went above and beyond to ensure the job was done efficiently and professionally.

What struck me most was their exceptional service, despite the challenges they faced. Removing the old water heater from the second floor and installing the new one was no easy task, but Randy and Jacob tackled it with ease. They were attentive to their surroundings, respectful of my home, and maintained their composure even in the sweltering 100+ degree attic.

Their professionalism, work ethic, and dedication to customer satisfaction are truly commendable. I feel fortunate to have had them working in my home, and I highly recommend Speaks Plumbing to anyone seeking reliable and outstanding service."

Service was professional, efficient and on time. Casey, my service provider, was excellent and kept me informed on his progress. I highly recommend Speake’s Plumbing for your plumbing needs!

Been using Speaks Plumbing for 25 years now and they always do an excellent job at a reasonable price. Technician: Daniel, did an excellent job very pleased.

Prompt, friendly, and efficient. They will always be our first call for any plumbing needs!

If you’re price comparing, I put our invoice into ChatGPT and asked it to evaluate the competitiveness of the service pricing in our area. Here’s what it said:

Short version: this looks pretty reasonable for your area, and actually a bit below what a lot of people end up paying for a comparable small plumbing job around Dallas.

⸻

1. What you were charged

From the invoice:
• Labor: $185.00 (listed as “1 Man Labor” – almost certainly their minimum service call / first hour)
• Parts:
• 3/4” FIP boiler drain – $25
• 3/4” x close to 3” brass nipple – $12
• Misc. supplies – $15
• Materials subtotal: $52
• Sales tax: $4.29
• Total job price: $241.29

Work description: they replaced the leaking drain port on the water heater with a brass boiler drain + nipple and checked water flow inside the house.

⸻

2. How that compares to local norms

Labor rate ($185)
Homeowner-facing plumber rates in the Dallas area typically run about $45–$200 per hour (that’s what you pay the company, not what the plumber personally takes home). 
• Your $185 is near the high end, but still within that normal range for a licensed plumber from a company (especially if that includes the trip/diagnostic fee plus the first hour of work).

Parts ($52)
• A comparable 3/4” brass water-heater drain/boiler drain at Home Depot runs about $11 retail. 
• A short brass nipple is usually $3–$8 retail, depending on brand and length.
• Plumbers virtually always mark up parts (often 2–3× retail) to cover sourcing, stocking, warranties, and the fact that they have the part on the truck when you need it.

So $25 + $12 + $15 for all materials and misc. supplies is pretty typical; it’s not an obvious gouge.

Total cost ($241.29)

For similar-scale jobs (hose bib / small valve replacements), national and recent 2025 data show typical all-in homeowner costs around $200–$600, with an average around $300. 
• Your total of $241 sits toward the low end of that range.

⸻

3. Overall judgment

Putting it together:
• Labor: high but normal for Dallas service-call plumbing.
• Parts: reasonable, within normal markup territory.
• Total: on the low side of typical for this kind of small repair.

So I’d call this competitive/fair pricing, not a bargain-basement deal but definitely not a ripoff.

Fantastic job. Quick response time. The guys gave me a run down of potential future issues, how to help prevent problems and an idea of what would take if more work would be needed. Rate seemed reasonable. Very professional guys. For sure would use them again.

Speake’s has always been great, and today was no exception. Had a handle break on our tub and they arrived quickly, faster than anticipated even. Within an hour everything was fixed and ready to go! Perfect plumbing if you are in the garland or richardson area.

Travis scheduled us the day that I called in that we needed a Plumber!
Mike came before scheduled time! He repaired quickly & price was very affordable!

We are very Happy & will use this Vendor again!!!

Fair price, excellent service and quality. I truly trust and appreciate Speaks's plumbing.
Thank you Lucas, Daniel, Rusty and Travis. Great job and thank you.
