Best Businesses in Minneapolis, MN

We've had Mike out for random plumbing needs over the past 4 years, including a water main issue, new water heater, clogged drains, and toilet installs. He's always honest about the problem, even when he could easily fix something that doesn't need fixing. He's up-front with his pricing and sticks to it. He's always been courteous with getting things scheduled and when he's at our home. He's on our plumbing speed-dial.

Everyone at Krinkie's was helpful and friendly! Dan came over quickly and with in a hour figured out my furnace problem! He explained each test he preformed and part he looked at on my furnace.  He even apologized for all I had been through with Ryan's Plumbing & Heating (awful company!!) to fix it. Dan was super knowledgeable and competent in his work! The pricing was all up front and parts and labor are guaranteed for a year!! Plus the next day someone from their office called to make sure all went well and I was satisfied! I would definitely recommend this company to anyone and would use them in the future! Krinkie's will now be my go to company for Plumbing and heating! Thanks guys!

Ben came to fix a clogged drain in my basement and was friendly and helpful. I had no idea about the problem as this is the first time I've dealt with something like this, and he explained what the problem was and how it would be remedied in a way I understood. I will use his company again, and recommend him.

They were able to put us on a waitlist and came out the same day to fix our toilet. It got done fast and efficiently. Very friendly service.

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.

These guys came to fix my clogged kitchen sink. Very prompt service,  though the technician could have been a bit nicer. Overall pleased though, sink had been a problem for a while. They were recommended to me by a friend.

Our first discount plumbing experience was absolutely wonderful! Of course, it would be great to meet them under different circumstances, but that's the joy of home ownership!

Two nights ago, I walked into the main floor bathroom and noticed the tub full of dirty, black water. Ugh. We plumed it enough to get it to drain, snaked and dumped whatever drain chemicals down. Problem... not solved.

After showering this morning, the tub was filled with orange, rusty looking water. At least it smelled like my shampoo, if that's a silver lining.

Called Discount Plumbing right away and they showed up within a few hours. Even as an emergency response, they were reasonably priced! The tech was quick to fix it, and talked through some options to prevent clogs like this in the future.

All in all, I strongly recommend!

Had paid him $500.00 over a week and after he changed out a part in the toilet it started making a loud and annoying sound.  He lives 2 miles from me and has to travel on a street a block from my house frequently.  He was going to charge me $145+ $20.00 trip charge to drive 1 block.  I can't believe that he wouldn't be willing to stop and look at the toilet that until he worked on it didn't make this loud sound.  Not very smart on his part as he has proven to not be customer focused and a true gouger.

Mike installed our disposal that we bought from Costco. He ran the disposal numerous times before leaving our house.

Thought he was concerned about something but he said everything is good. Lifted at that.

Next day ran the disposal and it has a sharp noise when switch is turned on. And sometimes a flash comes from switches.

Called Mike and his response was- fetter call the manufacturer. I didn't do anything wrong.

Well Mike. Nice customer service.

great guy. had a sewer back up. needed a new line. Richard had used a camera and you could see it was shot. he gave me a price and I decided to do the work. I have used them for years on my electric, heat and a/c so I trusted them. they started to dig and the water just poured in. Richard, Ryan, Axel and sam worked like dogs on a bone to get this job done. it was really bad. they kept me up to date on things but I could see how hard it was going for them. the frustration was visible to me. they got it done. best part was not a penny more and now it all works. thanks guys and sorry it was so hard. Mother Nature can be a fickle thing. I will keep using them.

$600 for a garbage disposal!!!

I purchased a new garbage disposal and didn't feel comfortable installing it myself, so I used Service Now to do it. After inspecting my home and trying to up-sell me, the plumber finally got around to doing the installation. It took him maybe 20 minutes to do, then charged me $600!!!

This was only for the labor, I provided the parts!! Everywhere else I checked said they would do it for a 3rd of the price. Horrifying!!

Yeah, not a good company to do business with. Called to get some heating work done. Bad customer service. System stopped working immediately. Called back and didn't hear back for two weeks. Still haven't received a refund for the shoddy work.

These guys certainly know what they are doing - without a doubt. I was happy with the analysis, and the work that was performed. I think my problem is fixed. The issue I have: I was overcharged. I paid $495 to have a capacitor installed ($10 at Home Depot), and a heat sensor installed (another $10 at Home Depot). I understand they had to run some tests, etc., and that a person has to make a living, but what I paid for these materials and services was extremely steep for an analysis and 2-1/2 hours of work (we can debate whether the job needed to take 2-1/2 hours). Even still, $235 an hour after subtracting $20 for parts and a simple installation is borderline ridiculous. Will I call them again? No. I will, however, do my homework before hiring anyone to do work at my home. Lesson learned: Don't trust anyone. Even nice people hired for repair work.  It's the world we live in...

Two stars: only because they knew what they were doing and were able to come to my house, same day. Otherwise, I'm disappointed.

Update: I see Tiger issued a response to my post.  Tiger seems to suggest premium parts were used, therefore, the cost is reasonable.  Really?  Come on, we are talking about $10 parts!  A condnser is a condenser is a condenser, and a sensor is a sensor is a sensor.  I'm thinking the public is much more savvy and can spot a fluff response from a service provider a mile away.

The only thing that came at a premium was the bill!  Bottom line: Tiger is good, but charges way too much . . .

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!
