Plumbing services by Lamar Plumbing Inc in Corpus Christi, Texas

Had a drain back up & when another plumber was unable to fix the issue and was extremely rude, I called Lamar Plumbing. Paul came out and had the issue fixed in a short amount of time. Recently had Paul and Clayton out to fix a separate issue. Again the issue was resolved timely. Both were extremely friendly & Paul is an amazing plumber. The prices are fair. Paul and Clayton worked fast and efficiently to resolve the issue in as little time possible. The staff who answer the phone are extremely friendly and helpful. All around they are a pleasure to do business with.

I have used Lamar plumbing for years, and they are outstanding in every aspect. They have installed sinks, shower heads, grab bars, upgraded commodes, and did some reroute work. All excellent

In regards to quality of work, I would say they are good. Average. They did a hydrostatic test on a home we are purchasing. However, they did not inform me that they start charging the moment they leave their office for travel time if you “live a ways away” we live in calallen - that's 15 minutes according to GPS....that's still in town and they charged for 2 hours of work at 95 per hour for one guy, and 50 For a half hour for another guy They called me at 8:08 saying they were leaving now. They arrived between 8:25 and 8:30. They were in the home working for 55 minutes 8:30-9:25...I arrived back to my current home at 9:41 as that's when my realtor text me so I had a time stamp, yet I was still charged for 2 hours of work. At Max it should be 1 hour of work and 15-20 minutes of travel time. The travel time should not be an additional hour, nor have a rate based off of the labor rate. Especially when they do not inform you of it. And then when questioned say “well that's the usual if you live a ways out”. No it's not the usual. Other companies I got quotes from did not have travel charge because we still live in corpus. And if they did, they'd be forthcoming about it and not tell you after the fact. Go with McCain plumbing. It's a flat 95 for a hydrostatic test and 35 if they need to find your cleanout. The only reason we couldn't go with McCain was because the earliest they could get out was the date we needed to come to an agreement on the contract, and wouldn't leave time for any further negotiations.
