Austin Gas Line Installation

This is the plumber you want to call in the Bryan /College Station area. During the remodeling of my house I have used, or had contact with, three different plumbing companies and John Gause is by far the best. I used the Angie's list site to schedule an appointment and was contacted shortly afterwards to discuss the work needed and confirm the time. The plumbers arrived as promised and went to work . The quality of their work , and their knowledge of their profession, was better than the other two companies combined and their pricing was very reasonable. You cannot afford sloppy work when dealing with a gas line and this company did a top notch job. I would not even consider using anyone else after this experience.

He was a bit grumpy to begin with, but, in the end was quite helpful and competent. He did not maximize his profits on the job.

Designed and renovated kitchen; replaced all doors and windows, replaced siding, painted outside of house, replaced roof, upgraded lighting in living room, replaced all kitchen appliances, taped, floated and repainted rooms, repaired door hinges, custom built cabinets, installed granite counter tops, installed gas line for kitchen cooktop, installed tile floors replaced outside light fixtures, and many associated tasks.

While Bob Lemmons and his crew arrived on time they jumped into the work so fast that they did not take time to listen to me, the client. Bob seemed to have forgotten much of what we had discussed about the work when he gave me the estimate. The work was sloppy, rushed and they tried to cut every corner possible. When I tried to express my concerns about the work, they argued and told me I didn't know what I was talking about. I hired another company to send out a Master Plumber for a diagnostic call ($57). ABC Home and Commercial Services was timely, honest and considerate. With the diagnostic list they provided my husband was able to knowledgably request that Bob Lemmons and his crew finish the job as needed and within International Code standards. Among the many things he cut, he did not install a condensate loop in the tankless water heater vent--this VIOLATES the WARRANTY of the heater. And now our roof is leaking where the supposedly experienced roofer that works for Bob Lemmons punched the vent. The gas line in the kitchen for the stove will need to be rerouted and we don't trust any of the work this guy and his crew did. I would never hire him again and I would never ever recommend him. If you are considering installing a tankless water heater, contact the manufacturer for a list of qualified service providers. I got this guy's name off of the Rinnai website only to discover later that they do not screen the dealers listed on their site. DO NOT HIRE THIS GUY UNLESS YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED. He cuts corners to save himself--not you--money. He did stick to the price on the estimate and he was fast. Too fast.

I used them about five years ago. Then they got very busy and we had to wait a couple of weeks. We started using another company. They did very good work, but they charge a little more.

This turned out to be an extensive job. A walk-through exists between house and garage so pipes had to be run across this open area and insulated and hidden, then around two walls in garage to location where washer and dryer would be placed. Gas line too had to be run from house through the open area walk-through (hidden again) and then across two walls. Pipes outside had meet a certain code because sunlight hit them. This job took many more days than estimated and we were not charged one extra penny. Many trips had to be made to bring this/that/the other that turned out to be necessary and which couldn't be known ahead of time. Inspection passed all city codes. Excellent job! Excellent responsiveness.

We had a report of a gas leak when we were away from the house. Found All-State on Angie's list, called them and they came out that day. Very responsive and very professional.

I can't say enough how Ruben at Alice Plumbing did such a great job in fixing my problem very quickly and professionally. He was very prompt and kept me informed on what to expect in troubleshooting the issue and what costs would look like depending on what the problem could be. He did a great job and completed it in good time. This is my second time using Alice Plumbing and I will continue to use them as my first choice for my plumbing needs.

I called on a Monday and asked them to come to house to give me estimate on job (installing gas pipes on existing property). They committed to Wed morning. I called late morning to check status and they rescheduled from morning to afternoon. They came, said they would email estimate. Nothing. Called left message on Saturday. No return call. Same on Monday. No contact. Left multiple messages Tuesday and they said they would decline the job. Why would it take them so long to communicate?

Dave is a local plumber who does a great job. He must know more than just plumbing because he also repaired the gas line from my municipal gas line. One time over the phone he walked me through a water problem I had and I fixed it. He charges a reasonable hourly charge.
