Best Businesses in Minnesota

What a crappy attitude when I called to ATTEMPT to hire their services. Mike: So, you need it snaked and I SUPPOSE you want it done today, insert shitty tone of voice.  Yes, when one has water coming up in their basement, MIKE, they want it done TODAY, and that's not an unreasonable request, you jerk!

I've known Krinkie's since high school. My family has used them for years. My dad (turning 100 in Sept.) still remembers Paul Nelson by name and always recommends him. Yesterday, with over 100 heat index, a mouse decided to chew through our AC wires. Fortunately, they were able to come out today, fixed it, cleaned it up, lubed, checked it over and the ten-year-old TRANE is working better than ever.

This is a company you can trust. Honest, (he said, this is a great unit, no need to replace it), knowledgeable - Paul has been with Krinkie for over 30 years now), and personable.

Highly recommended. Oh, and I signed up for their twice-a-year Furnace and AC check. Brought the service call price down and helps with future repairs if needed. Oh, and check for a service call with service coupon on their web site.

Alex came out and did a wonderful job. Very professional and knowledgeable  He explained exactly what he was doing and why. The price was very reasonable! I was probably like most people when you see your basement flooded... This is going to break the bank. They quoted me their price and that's the price I paid.. no hassles no hidden up charges. 6 month warranty for the job done too. Definitely will use Marvel in the future.

I had water rushing down the ceiling in my bathroom from the condo unit above. It was 4th of July weekend and the entire mess was getting worse as I made many calls and wasn't able to find a plumber to come out. Weld & Sons had Zack come out right away and diagnosed that the issue wasn't a pipe but back up. Since they don't do drain clean outs I called Roto Rooter to come out and after they cleared the back up I still had water coming out from my ceiling. I called Vick and he had Zack come out right away and found out that Roto Rooter hadn't replaced the toilet in the unit upstairs correctly. In both instances that they came out they were quick and efficient. Vick called me after the service to check and see how things were going which was above and beyond in customer service. I hope to never need plumbing services again but if I do I will call them first.

I used Ouverson to install a new sewer line from my home to the main line per city codes and I was very impressed with Troy and his crew. They were meticulous. They dug a 6x6 hole in my yard and did the installation. When they were done, you could hardly tell. again, very impressed. I can't say enough good about their work.

Stacey visited our home today. He told us what the problem was in terms that we could understand. He was very respectful and knowledgeable. We have some projects that we will definitely have them work on in the near future. We are very pleased with the entire experience!

We had Tony's Plumbing install a water softener, change over some faucets and replace a garbage disposal.   They were very friendly and professional.    I would highly recommend them.

The entire team was very professional and prompt. The technician, Derek (#4349) was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Not only did he fix the issue, but he explained things as he went and made suggestions for self maintenance that will certainly be useful.

They came over and barely looked at my sink and faucet the quoted me $500 to fix it and said it'll take an hour or two. I found a YouTube tutorial on basic faucet fixes and went to Home Depot to get the parts I needed. All in all I spent $80 and 30 minutes to fix the problem. I have zero previous experience fixing plumbing so I was extremely annoyed.

Eric was out to my home for a leak in the basement.  He arrived right on time even though he was sick!  He located the leak which was coming from my attempt to put in a new sink.(He agreed that I should not quit my day job and go into plumbing!)
Eric was wonderful and professional.  He even chauked areas in the bathroom that I had not done and fixed a tile issue.  He was fast, clean and VERY reasonable.  I took about a dozen cards from him to  pass out to friends.  He is now and forever my plumber.

Mike has been the person I call for all my plumbing needs.  He is always here quick and his prices are very fair.  Listed below are the things he has done:
-Replaced my hot water heater
-Installed new faucet on the outside of the house
-Added shutoff valves to the outside lines (winter safety) :)
-Installed a new toilet.
Until he retires or I move away I will be a customer.

Would not recommend this company to even my worst Enemy.   They are nothing more than rip off artist.  Had a technician (used VERY loosely) come out and explain that our a/c unit was going to need some major parts replaced at an exorbitant amount of money $3000 or in his opinion to just replace the whole system for a mere $1000 more.   Happen to get a second opinion on the matter and low and behold for less than the cost of these con-artists to come out and describe all the things wrong with my a/c unit we are up and running cool and comfortable.  I did contact Alex and then also spoke to Greg to allow them to make this right.  They chose not to even attempt to make this right.  I would RUN from this company there are so many more out there that are better and that are actually TRUSTWORTHY.   They will belittle you, talk down to you and this basically explains how they do business.

We have a heat pump and a furnace.  In February we were not getting any heat out of the furnace.  Called Airtech out.  The first guy couldn't figure out the problem, so they sent a different guy the next day.  After about 5 days, and several techs, they finally decided to replace the thermostat.  Thank goodness we have a woodstove for heat back-up.  Unfortunately, they also chose to charge us over $700 for the diagnosis and thermostat.  That fall, when it was time for the heat to come back on, it wasn't working again.  They have a guarantee, so called them back out.  Oops, they never ran some wire they were supposed to run the last time, but if we would like to pay $400 for a different thermostat that is wireless, they wouldn't have to run the wire they should have ran months ago.  
Several months later, the heat pump wouldn't turn on.  Called them out again thinking it had to do something with the guarantee work.  They looked at the heat pump, found a bad wire and taped it up and charged us $300.  When the heat pump quit working again a few weeks later, my husband went out and replaced the repaired wire and got it working again.  
Will NOT call them ever again.

Full disclosure Sabre advertises on our podcast and that's one of the reasons we started using them.  Our previous hvac co couldn't figure out what was wrong with our furnace and kept wanting to put in s new system. Sabre fixed our furnace and we didn't have to install a new system!   They do a great job and come out promptly.     Highly recommend.

Called for service on A/C unit on hottest day of the year. $59 for service call. $185 for diagnostics. $395 to remove and replace a simple capacitor. I told them to leave as that was outrageous. I found a Capacitor on Amazon ($5.95) watched a YouTube video and did it myself in less that 15 minutes. I need to replace my A/C and furnace because of age soon, but Tiger lost a sale and customer for life.

I think it is terrible they don't tell you on the phone they charge to come out and give you an estimate 95.00 dollars. Every plumber I have had in the past gave a free estimate. For that reason I won't use them. They should tell you before they come out not while they are already here!
