Yeah, its a lot work going on that time and I feel like the entire house emergency all happened at the same time. I think the highlight of that was that the entire team of the project was great. They are very professional. The bid was great. He explained everything thoroughly and very knowledgeable. He took off his shoes when he came in so I was extremely impress. The scheduling, the timing and everything was laid out with the paperwork. Everything was taken care off from the beginning till end. The rebate are taken cared off and the bid was extremely competitive. These people, the whole team work past 5 o'clock and work till 7 PM. It means they take extra time and dedication to their job. Basically the grass-roots was I really impress with their work ethics and this is the reason why I choose them again to do the plumbing job.

ABC Home & Commercial Services plumber was great. Everything was resolved. The biggest thing that I was very happy about was very clean. I was very concerned when he fix the leak and clean the sewage line of the bathroom which I am concerned about the mess. The plumber even manage to clean the entire line not through the toilet but the usual way of doing it and through the vent line which essentially I had no dirty equipment through my house at all and that was impressive. The highlight is that the staff is very professional. He did a great job. He explained everything in layman's term , very knowledgeable. He respect the owner of the house i.e. he took off the shoes when he came in so I am extremely impress. The schedule and timing is right as well as the paperwork. Everything was taken care off from the beginning till end. Also the bid was extremely competitive.

Noticed a smell emanating from the fireplace and couldn't find the source. Called up ABC and they had someone there within two hours. Technician found the rodent had squeezed it's way between the chimney and protective cover, which is a highly inaccessible place.
He tried removing it but, due to the inaccessible location and state of the rodent, was unable to. Since we didn't want to tear apart the walls to get access, option 2 was to mask the smell and live with it for a week. A small amount of masking agent was provided. He also added an additional screen to the chimney so no more rodents could get in the area.

They are great. We have used them for probably 15 years. They do a good job. They also do home repair type of services. They are always polite. They are clean. They answer any questions you have. They really are very courteous. When they come insides the house, they usually wear little booties over the shoes. I am satisfied with them and I would recommend them. Their prices are very reasonable.

Response from ABC Home & Commercial Services - Austin

"Dear Customer, ABC appreciates you taking the time to review ABC on behalf of other Angie’s List members. Management has gone back and listened to the entire phone call between you and our customer service representative. Based on your description during the telephone interaction, we thought we could help with your particular plumbing issue. As it turned out, we could not, but we were able to refer you to a reputable, specialized leak detection company AND did not charge for the time our licensed Plumber spent analyzing the nature of your leak. While we regret the inconvenience any customer suffers anytime they have home service issues, there are unfortunately going to be times that the nature of having to describe a problem over the telephone, results in temporary missteps in finding the ultimate solution. ABC regrets your inconvenience."

All services were completed promptly and professionally.  ABC also offered a very good price on the replacement compressor.  Personnel from ABC also made several follow-up contracts to insure that everything was working properly, and that we were satisfied with the equipment and service.  We would highly recommend this company for A/C service, and would recommend them for consideration for other service that they provide.  We also use them for pest control, and we are quite satisfied with those services.

the inspector did notice droppings that the home inspector didn't see.   the inspector did put alot of fear in the conducive environments for termites/pests but no actual pests were seen.   The estimates where quite expensive and built around having to pay them monthly with them guaranteeing their work.   Which their first spraying will probably do the trick and but you will end up paying periodically forever.
Response from ABC Home & Commercial Services - Austin

"Thank you for taking the time to comment on our services, please allow us to address your comments. There were two different issues concerning the customer's home. ABC was called out for a no charge termite inspection. Our inspector did examine the premises and found no evidence of active termites. However, as a standard part of our pest control practices, the inspector priced termite service which is preventative in nature and provides the homeowner with the peace of mind that their home is protected from termites for 12 months. That price was $648 and is very much in-line with our standard Termite pricing for a house that’s the size and construction of the customer's home. We routinely offer termite service & protection on all pest control inspections and bids. Additionally, during the termite inspection, our inspector noted signs of rodent activity (droppings in the residence). Because it would be poor customer service to ignore (even though we were there on a termite inspection) signs of rodents in the home, we priced rodent removal (trapping) and then, the sealing of the rodent access points. Simply eliminating rodents without sealing the access and egress points is not usually in the best interest of homeowners. This pricing includes a one year warranty, was quoted at $642 and it too, is very much in-line with standard pricing. While it’s always unfortunate that a homeowner incurs costs and is inconvenienced by insects and or rodents, ABC’s practices are always in keeping with homeowners best interests. In this case, the inspector detailed what they felt like were necessary optional offerings and, as in all cases, the homeowner made what they felt to be the best decision for their home."

I was very pleased with the work.  The person doing the estimate was very courteous, and explained what was included for the price.  The team arrived on time, did a very thorough job, and cleaned up completely when done. They were a little on the high side based on other estimates I got for the job, but not significantly.  They did a better job than other tree services I have used in the past that charged less, so the extra was worth it.

We've had ABC for pest services for about 6 years now.  For the ENTIRE time we have requested to receive only Saturday appointments and for 6 years we have had to reschedule EVERY SINGLE APPOINTMENT they have every made for us. 
Given that it was only 4 times a year, I just let it go.  For 5 years that was my only real complaint.  
Recently we got a new technician who for starters found it amusing to make insulting comments at 8am because I answered
the door in my PJs.  Yeah, it?s Saturday at 8am.  I?ve got clothes on.  I am paying you, not the other way around.  Deal with it. 
The technician then SOAKED my house in pesticides.  I know you think I must be exaggerating, but I can assure you I am not.  It was literally dripping off the blinds and pooling on our wood floor.  After cleaning up what I could I had to leave the house because of the smell.
The subsequent quarter a technician came on Saturday morning, after calling to request such, and never knocked on the
door to do the indoor portion of our treatment.  How do I know this? Because I was awake, and fully dressed to avoid any further
judgment, and saw the truck parked outside. When I called the main office to complain, they told me that the technician knocked and we didn?t answer.  It?s a tough thing to call someone a liar, but well?I was there.
They came back the subsequent Saturday and again put out so much bug spray that I again spent my Saturday cleaning up
after them.  This time I took pictures so there would be no debate.  I will try to attach them to this review if possible.  Thank goodness we don't have any pets or children because it was all over the house.
I called to cancel and they assured me a Manager would call me back regarding my complaint.  I haven't heard a peep.

The service was nothing special and it didn’t make much of a difference. I thought I could have done what they did. Their long term care really didn’t make an impact.

They were very professional while at my home and good at determining what the problem was.  Although, I thought I could have gotten a better deal on the estimate and I also waited on them all afternoon to show up.

I've been using them for 18 years. They let me know when they are coming and they are always courteous. It seems to work. The price is probably comparable but I haven’t looked into it. I will certainly continue to use them.
