Jim is an upstanding business man. I was in a jam and needed some water heater work in a emergency. I called around and compared the standard service calls fees but also to see who could get to my home fastest. Jim not only beat the other companies in my immediate area in time but beat the call fee by a comfortable margin. Jim exhausted every possibility of the problem before doing any costly work that I didn't need and willingly showed myself and my wife each step of the way, which I appreciate because I have changed a couple heaters when a was able. No wool over the eyes he gets the call on any possible plumbing needs in the future. read more

Moved 2 shower heads and valves. Did a great job but was a bit slow in completing project though I attributed that for being meticulous.

Called for a complete sewage blockage. He immediately figured it the root cause based on the information - it was a city issue - and helped get this resolved the same day. read more

I called Jim when another plumber flaked out on me after Thanksgiving, 2023.

I have now called on him multiple times in the last six months, as I have been readying a family house for sale after it was mostly vacant for the past year. Jim has provided valuable and cost saving counsel. You can do no better for plumbing, than Jim! read more

We needed a new water heater (our old one was ancient and on its last legs). Jim was super responsive (same-day), and came out and gave us a very reasonable quote the following day. Our job was certainly not "run of the mill," as the previous owners of our home definitely made shortcuts versus keeping things up to code. Despite the project taking much longer than he anticipated, the cost did not change. We feel super confident that the work Jim did will last for years to come. Also, he is a very friendly and affable guy - full of fun facts and interesting stories! He runs his business with honesty and integrity. Thanks again Jim! read more

I shopped for weeks to find a good reliable plumber. Jim is very honest and really wants the best for your project. I had many plumbers give me outrageous bids and try to take advantage of me.

Not only would you get a good plumber, you'll get a very honest one. Which now a days doesn't happen very often. read more

At every step he explained what he was doing and why it was necessary. You won't go wrong if you call Jim. read more

I cannot brag enough about how amazing Jim was in a moment of crisis! I called another company and they came out and gave me a ridiculously inflated estimate, while they attempted to re-work the pricing, I got a hold of Jim and he gave me a fair price and came out to fix my hot water heater that day. Jim stayed late to make sure that I would be taken care of and didn't have to take another cold shower! Jim is very knowledgeable, kind and clearly puts a lot of hard work and care into what he does.

My husband and I just moved to Austin and Jim is the second plumber we've tried. Needless to say, we won't be using anyone else.

Excellent service...highly recommended!! read more

I used Jim at Republic Pipeworks to handle the gas line plumbing for my restaurant. I can't say enough good things about Jim and his work. He is a Master Plumber in every sense. He was prompt, reliable and extremely knowledgeable. His pricing was very fair and his pride in his work in evident in the results. Jim also took the time to explain what he was planning prior to starting, answering all my questions to MY satisfaction every step of the way. Further, instead of plumbing everything simply as he saw as best, He took the time to present me with my options and advised me as to what he thought was the best course of action. I truly felt as a customer, I was a priority to him and he has earned my respect both as a customer and as a fellow businessman. From now on, Republic Pipeworks will be the only company I trust to handle my commercial plumbing, as well as, the plumbing in my own home. read more

I had to call Jim one evening at a little before 7 pm because a pipe had broken and it was going to get below freezing that night AND we needed water. Jim came right away was very professional and obviously well versed in his knowledge. He did an emergency repair in order for us to get the water turned back on. He came back a few days later to complete the repair, he applied the money I paid for the emergency call to the final repair (which was great). Again, Jim was incredibly professional and very personable. I will call him again and I highly recommend him to any one who needs a plumber. read more

Jim at Republic has handled several plumbing repairs and installations around my house. I always felt as though I was their most important client, every time he came to my house. Prices were reasonable, work was super. He even fixed things that were not strictly necessary to the repair in question, but that the plumber before had done incorrectly. He asked me first and explained the consequences of leaving it as it was. I felt like he was doing things the way hewould want them done at his own house. All this and still at a very fair price. read more

Honest, on-time, thorough and reasonably priced. I will definitely call Jim again when I need plumbing/gas line work done right!

Jim is amazing. I've used him on numerous occasions and he has always been fair, courteous and quickly gets the job done. We originally used another plumber to install our tub, but he did a terrible job, so we contacted Jim who was able to fix the previous plumber's work. Then we got a flood in our kitchen and Jim was able to come quickly to turn off the water and then returned later to fix the complicated leak issue. We only trust him for all our plumbing needs. I highly recommend him!! read more
