Ellis & Son Plumbing

Ellis & Son Plumbing runs its operation out of Midland, Texas and focuses on plumbing work while also handling heating and cooling jobs for local homeowners. The outfit includes Mr. Ellis along with his crew members such as Billie and Richard who show up for calls on everything from water lines to full system installs. Midland weather and soil conditions often lead to pipe issues or heater failures, and this crew stays ready for those common problems that hit rental properties and houses alike. They keep things straightforward without extra layers, drawing on direct experience in the area to tackle jobs that range from quick fixes to larger replacements that keep homes running.

Richard handles plenty of the plumbing calls and shows up on schedule with estimates that fit the work at hand, while Billie and Mr. Ellis have stepped in on HVAC installs that got completed without dragging out. Homeowners have seen them replace water heaters in rental units and put in new units when the old ones quit, often finishing inside the time frame they laid out upfront. The crew stays polite on site and works through the details like fitting the right parts or checking lines after the main job wraps. Calls in the past brought them out the same week for repeat customers, though some waits stretched longer on later attempts, and they handle both small repairs and bigger heating jobs that tie into the plumbing side.

Customers keep pointing to the crew's steady pace on arrival and finish times plus clear talk about what the job will cost before starting, which lines up with solid marks on speed and communication from many reviews. Quality shows up in the way installs hold up and the crew treats each house with care, even if price feedback splits between those who found the numbers fair and others who felt the totals ran high on heater swaps. The mixed notes on cost pull the overall mark down some, but the consistent reliability in Midland jobs still stands out across the feedback. DIRT Score 3.48 from 36 reviews on Finds.

“Mr. Ellis, Billie and the rest of his crew did an amazing job installing my HVAC Unit. They went above and beyond the call of duty. Very prompt, kind and courteous !! I will definitely be using them again in the future.”

“I’ve used Ellis multiple times in the past I would call and they would come out that week and get the job done. I would be respectful, polite and pay what they’re owed with no problems. I guess they look at the situation differently because I’ve called on two different occasions and never got any response back. Just sitting on the waiting list for WEEKS until I have to go else where. No updates, no calls, no show. I have no clue what I did to that company but to me “now” they’re bias and help who they want to help. If I call they just take my name address and number. That’s the last of it”

“Richard is the nicest! They arrived when they said, gave a reasonable estimate and completed the job in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend Ellis for your plumbing needs! The Dad is just as nice. Very pleasant to do business with.”

“BEWARE - BAD Experience with this company Called the owner to complain about the charge of $1,668.00 to replace a water heater at my rental home in Midland, and then he added another $65 to the bill. I just changed out a water heater at my home, and it was $580 for the water Heater at Home Depot, and it took me 2 hours to install. His reason for charging so much was because other plumbers in town charge this much instead of charging me a reasonable amount for the time spent. I have many rental homes and the usual labor charge to install a 40 gal heater is $500 or less. Charging over $1000 for a couple of hours work is price gouging in my honest opinion. It is getting absolutely ridiculous what people are charging these days for their services. They seem to think there is no limit and people will have to pay whatever they ask.”

“If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Simply put, they get it done and at reasonable prices. Very professional, very courteous. They have taken care of my hot water heater, air conditioner, and various other tasks around the house. Each time they show up in their orange van, I'm relieved that they're here and I know it's going to be fixed right.”
