I had them install a new sink. After pulling the old one out I realized that work as going to have to be done to the new sink to make it work. They went to another job and told me to call when I had the sink ready. After 30 mins I called back and they returned and finished the sink. Great job. Cleaned up after themselves. Highly, highly recommend.

Excellent in every way. I had them install a toilet I bought and had shipped to my home. They were smart enough to inspect the new toilet before removing the old, and it had been broken by the shippers. They did not charge me anything and when they came back to install the next one I got, they hit all the marks with an A+.

Please BEWARE! I had these guys out on the Fall and got slapped with a $356 dollar we cant figure it out? Bill. I had them out a second time today ( on a second try) and the plumber they sent out was beyond unqualified. He installed the kitchen faucet in the wrong direction and got aggravated when I asked for him to correct it. He kept trying to install the incorrect flange and drain cover because he was too lazy to find a clamp that was not on his truck for the custom one that i ordered from Mountain Plumbing ( a company that he said he had never heard of). I asked them to leave

We've used Sidney Cox Plumbing several times to fix incorrect plumbing done by our original contractor as well as for clogged pipes. They are EXCELLENT!! Not only do they always try to fit you in right away if it's an emergency, but they're professional, good at their trade and charge a fair price. We feel so fortunate to have found them.

Great service again. Although as most Excellent plumbers, they were booked the day I called but Sid talked me how to keep my issue controlled till the next day. They also had to go to Austin to get a part to complete the work correctly and still finished that same afternoon. Good honest people.

I spoke to Patrick over the phone and he was so nice & helpful. They were booked that day and I needed service asap, so I ended up using another company with a mediocre experience. Next time I will use Sidney Cox Plumbing.
