Best Businesses in Minneapolis, MN

Everything you could ask for in a great service company. John gave specific detailed feedback, weighed the costs and benefits of what actions to take, showed commitment to customer satisfaction and feasibility in price and functionality, and I got to learn plenty of baseline information about the specific problems that were occurring on my unit so I know why decisions are made.

Excellent plumbers and drain cleaners at a reasonable price. I highly recommend Ted!

Derrick from Purple Drains responded quickly when I requested plumbers on Yelp.  I compared his quote to the other company's and he was the cheapest. He showed up on time, and explained everything that he was doing.  I liked the fact that he is the owner, so he makes sure your 100% satisfied.  Finally his drain clean out was guaranteed for 30 days, or else he would come out for free.

This plumbing service came to my rescue and they fixed the problem with absolutely no problem. The plumber was extremely professional. The best part extremely affordable. I strongly recommend this plumbing service.

Good company.  Always do a good job.  Employees well trained. Wife really appreciates the way they consult her and respect our home.

This company is awesome!  In the past they have fixed my leaking kitchen faucet and my garbage disposal.  Today they fixed my faucet in my tub shower.  Sam was very knowledgeable and told me everything I needed to know about the repair.  He was efficient and fast!  They have helped me so many times and I would recommend this company to anyone!

This company is one of the best companies I have ever dealt with!  What I like best is his honesty, you don't have to be worried he's trying to scam you.  Not to mention he is actually excellent at his job.  I would recommend Mission Plumbing to everyone!

These guys are a joke.  The bank I bought my house from sub-contracted them to do plumbing repairs on my house, probably picked them at random. I would never have chosen them.

Their guy sat in my basement smoking cigarettes, doing nothing, charging by the hour while he waited for the city water utility to turn on the water main.  I never asked him to wait in my basement. If I had been there, I'd have told him to do his job or get lost.  Instead, because he hung around doing nothing under the pretense of working, they got to charge me for three times the amount of labor they actually performed. The truth is, he was unable to do any work until the water main was turned on.  Very, very shady. They also charged me an enormous truck fee (around $70) just for getting off their duffs and driving a mile and a half to my house.

In spite of how skeezy this all was, I never disputed the fees or how they were calculated even though I knew I was getting screwed.  I didn't want to wade into the quagmire of smalls claims court as I was trying to get my house into livable condition.

The bank stupidly paid in advance for the work, cut them a huge check and told them to remit the remaining balance to me after they took their cut for their labor. Even with all of their hidden fees and questionable charges,there was still a sizable sum left over.

Well, you can guess how that turned out.  I had to threaten to sue them, file complaints with the BBB, and repeatedly call one of the plumbers at his other job before they finally cut me a check for the outstanding balance.  It took weeks to get my money back.  That money wasn't a gift from the bank.  It was slated for other repairs that needed to be done as part of our signed contract.  Everyone deserves to be able to move into a house that has a functioning toilet and running water.

It sure seemed like they were trying to rip me off in any way they could.  The bank made it easy for them, and they took every advantage they could of my situation.  

My advice: steer clear.  And if you are ever in a position where the bank you are buying your home from is paying for repairs to be performed, if those repairs are going to be performed after you move in, make sure you're the one choosing contractors and subcontractors.  And don't allow anyone to make bids who has bad reviews.  I don't know if Tschida Brothers did before, but they do now.

If I could give this review a 0 star rating, unfortunately I would. I utilize a home warranty service and they designated Boevaag as the service provider. When I called the number provided, it was clear that this number was a cell phone, which again, is fine but the individual answered with a hello?!. I was worried I had called the wrong number so I explained the above connection and then I received a pause.

I waited it out and he finally said WELL I haven't received anything! I mentioned the provider sent the claim this morning and asked if a claim number would help. He gruffly replied that NO, it wouldn't.

Regardless of a service provider not being sent the appropriate information, my expectation is that the interaction is still positive.  So that when the plumbing/HVAC/etc company gets the information, I feel comfortable having them in my home.

I then had to follow up and request next steps from him instead of giving me, the customer, some sort of summary. Oftentimes when you reach out to a plumbing organization, it is because of a 911 or stressful need. I can't imagine dealing with this gentleman in one of those scenarios. Will NOT be using.

Seems like maybe like many other service companies these days they are having trouble hiring the right people.  They have always been very responsive to service issues until this fall.  Have called multiple times to have them return to finish their fall inspections.  Can't be too busy to even call to say they will be back at a later date.  Cannot recommend this company anymore.

Hot water heater went out-called Bob at 4:30 PM and by 9:00 I had a new hot water heater installed-at day time pricing. Thanks, Bob!

Great service! They came out quickly to fix a backed up sewer drain. Randy answered all of my questions and did a great job fixing the problem. The price also came in well under what I was quoted by another company. I definitely recommend this company.

I thank the stars for Erik, who is to plumbing what Yoda is to the Jedi. He's a wizard with plumbing problems large and small. I've hired him twice now, and besides his real skill I sincerely appreciate his cheerful Zen demeanor even when he's getting doused with raw sewage. If you've read Matt Crawford's book Shop Class as Soulcraft; An Inquiry Into the Value of Work you might recognize Erik as one of those men who take pride in a job well done, and who won't screw you over. That's pretty rare.

My only gripe is that he's increasingly busy, with good reason.

We bought a dishwasher and installation at Best Buy and they contracted MN Plumbing and Heating. After paying the $150 installation fee at the store, the MN Plumbing and Heating team that did the installation demanded that we pay them an additional $150 for 2 parts that were supposedly needed. We felt trapped and a little taken advantage of. Very disappointed that Best Buy would hire such a firm that would treat its customers like this.

I called because I had my house for sale, accepted an offer, had the inspection and inspector said I had low water pressure. B & B came to my house and told me It was the screens and shower head, so it was not a big job. Brian (the owner) said he ordered parts and would fix it. Closing came quick and he quit responding. I ended up having to take $6200 less because it was too small of a job and he strung me along until it was TOO  LATE! TERRIBLE BUISNESS AND I WILL TELL EVERYONE I KNOW!!!

kitchen sink clogged. clog was in line approximately 25 feet from main line. repairman used snake to clear, took about 45 minutes. the charge was $435.
repairman professional but this cost was so excessive I'll not use these people again and will definitely not recommend them to anyone for any plumbing work.

We called for a toilet repair yesterday and they set up an appointment for today 1-3:30.  Immediate e-mail twice confirming the appt time for today.  We received a call in the morning today to again confirm that we would be home today between 1-3:30.  At 1:15 today we received a call that said they could NOT come out today, but could we be home tomorrow.  Really??  We made sure we would be home and stayed in all day to wait for the plumber.  We cancelled plans.  Their website said 24/7 service, but when asked whether they could still make it tonight they could not.  Very displeased with this lack of consideration for the potential customer.

First searched Google for a Minneapolis plumber and came across Hiawatha Plumbing, who I found out later subcontracts to Ken's Sewer Drain & Plumbing (not stated anywhere on Hiawatha's website). Hiawatha's website claims they do free quotes, but after exchanging a couple emails with Ken's, was told that they do not provide free quotes. So I gave a detailed description of the work to be done (swapping a faucet on a utility sink w/ drop down water lines; pretty standard) and was told just did one yesterday for a lady and I bet it'll be under $350. So you did the work yesterday but don't know the cost today? Should've been my first clue to look elsewhere...

Not sure if Hiawatha sub-contracts everything to Ken's, so I'll leave it at that since I wrote a separate review for their poor service.
