Everything went well. Brandon evaluated the toilet and confirmed what I had already thought (toilet should be replaced). He also cleaned the shower drain and showed me the chemical I could buy to clean the drain myself and not harm my pipes. Prices were in line with other plumbers I have used. Nice to find a plumber in my area of town who is responsive.

My kitchen sink was backing up.  The pipes needed to be cleaned out and that's what Plumbco did.
They also gave me a price on some other plumbing repairs that I may decide to have done in the future.

I have very mixed feelings in writing this review because I was impressed that the owner, Gary, reached out to me to discuss my concerns regarding a flange to the meter not being replaced (although this was in the scope of the project) and offered a minor discount on the work (and extended the warranty from 90 days to 1 year).     Gary was very professional and after speaking with him I was satisfied that he had addressed my concern about the leak re-occurring.
Subsequent to speaking with Gary I found  find out how little time the repair took (because I wasn't present) and how much I had agreed to pay for it and I feel like we were taken advantage of because we had a leak that had to be repaired.  We had a broken water pipe from the meter at the curb that had a significant leak.  We initially had hired another plumber who dug the hole around the broken pipe area and tried repairing it in the dark at night but was unsuccessful and wasn't able to come back the next day to try again.  So I called Gary the next morning and he sent someone out the same day to look and give us an estimate.
The hole had already  been dug  so the plumber was able to essentially look in to see what needed to be fixed.  I wasn't present when they gave the estimate but I did approve their estimated costs of $1300 so I take full responsibility for agreeing to the price. Since the estimate was so much more than I had expected (there was an Anglie's List review for this provider just a few days earlier with a water line break that was only $500), I simply believed that it was a more difficult and time consuming job than I had initially imagined and this was why the initial plumber probably wasn't successful.  After I approved to the $1300 fee, Gary sent his plumber out the next day and the gentleman arrived on time.  However, the repair took him less than 1 hour.  He let the glue dry and came back an hour later to cover up the hole.    I am at fault for accepting the $1300 proposal and not questioning the high figure,  but it just doesn't feel right knowing how little time the actual repair took to do.
I might use Plumbco again on a time and materials basis because of the professionalism of Gary, the owner, but would never use them again on a project basis without having a very good understanding of the time and effort required.

The Service Tech (ST) was efficient and very informative.  I learned quite a bit about water lines.  He was professional, clean-cut, and confident of his work.  If I have another problem with plumbing, I hope I get this ST again.  Unfortunately, the provider did not have anyone in the Sugar Land area, so response was delayed for an emergency fix.  The ST had to drive from Cypress (about an hour away) to manage this repair.  From arrival to departure, he was great.  Very comfortable in having me watch and take pictures of the repair.  This gave me a good impression of a honest ST.  ST was respectful of my property.  He laid down a plastic tarp to temporarily hold the mud during his digging exercise.  This kept my property clean when it came time to place the mud back in place.  ST used quality parts, such as PEX piping and brass fittings.  The PEX piping is able to handle land movements much better than PVC piping.  Hopefully, the land will never shift again, BUT if the land should shift against this repair portion, it will hold up very well.  The price was a bit steep.  I knew that it would be high for a Sunday repair but it was about $100 more than I would expect .  In the end, I had a great ST, so I am OK with it.

The replacement of the pipe went well. They found an old steel chisel in the pipe that probably had been there since the house was built in 1924. The toilet flushes great now.
While they were here, they repaired the main bathroom toilet that had been leaking around the base. Its flange was broken. They replaced the flange and reset the toilet.
This company and its owner is fantastic. I will call this company back again. I feel like I have a plumber who I can count on now.

Water was not draining properly from the clothes washer - it would back flow from the drainpipe and onto the floor.  A neighbor had recommended Plumbco and I checked Angie's List and saw the company had other good recommendations so decided to seek their help. I called yesterday afternoon and scheduled the repair for today. Gary, the owner, arrived on time, diagnosed the problem and began working immediately.  He was professional, friendly, courteous, and thoughtful (even covering his shoes to avoid tracking dirt into my home). He diagnosed and fixed the problem in a very timely and satisfactory manner.  I will certainly call on Gary and Plumbco again if the need arises and I will recommend Plumbco to anyone in need of plumbing repair.

I'm having my shower re-done, and I decided to update the valves from the old two handle type to a one handle system so that it is up to "code" for Houston. I ordered the trim and valve myself and had Plumbco do the valve installation (at which point I did not have the Trim yet).
The technician came out, installed my valve and also quoted me on a shower pan. Overall, the work was quick, done well, and the price was right. The technician was also very friendly and answered all my questions.
I would definitely use Plumbco again and recommend them.

My negative points below are to explain why they did not receive As across the board:

My first minor complaint is that the website says "No Cost Estimates" and Angie's list says "Free Estimates" however when I called to schedule Plumbco, I was told there is a service charge (I think $45) that is waived if I choose to have the work done. This hardly seems free or no cost; however, I knew the work needed to be done and the price was right so I was OK with it.
My second minor complaint was that I was scheduled for "first thing in the morning" with an 8 am timeslot, but they did not even call to tell me they were on the way until 8:30. I worked from home that day so this wasn't a problem, but if I had a schedule to keep I would have been more upset.
Response from Plumbco

"It was a pleasure to work for you. We schedule our first appointment of the day between 8:30 and 9:00. We are sorry if we didn't inform you of that and will be sure to do so in the future. Since the Memorial Day flood we were finding that we were sending our licensed plumbers out on estimates all day. We just couldn't afford to continue doing that despite wanting to help our neighbors. So, yes, we began charging a $49 diagnostic fee which is waived if we do the work for you. We still give a free phone estimate though. Thank you for choosing Plumbco! We appreciate your business very much!"

Promptly diagnosed the problem, had the necessary equipment in the truck, came in, took care of business and that was that. It went about as smoothly as a service problem can go. I am pleased with Plumbco's service and would use them again.

I bought a toilet at a big box store. Gary Bloch then picked it up, brought it to my house, and installed it. The old toilet was in bad shape underneath, so the job required a new flange be welded on. When they were done there was no trace they had been there except for the new toilet sitting in place of the old one. First class work.

Everything went Really well. I scheduled the appointment on line via Angile's lis web site. Gary confirmed the appointment via angies messaging and showed up on time. He completed the base work quickly and proceed to address some  other minor issues that needed to be fixed. The complete repair was done expeditiously and professionally. The quoted cost was what was expected and with the $15 coupone ended being even less than expected. I have used Plumbco before and each time the work has been done really well. I will continue to use this vendor.
