Best Businesses in Minnesota

This place came highly recommended from a co-worker after I told him we were having some plumbing issues with our kitchen sink and basement utility sink. Basically, the drain shared by the kitchen and utility sink was backed up somewhere below the basement floor, causing water to fill up and pour over the utility sink as well as back up into the kitchen. Subscribing to the view that if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy, I tried drano, snaking the drain myself, plunging, etc. Nothing worked...

Well, this back and forth (me vs. the drain) had been going on for about a week. After realizing I was outmatched I eventually called Midway Sewer on Saturday when our Friday night meal cleanup turned into Noah's Ark style flooding in the basement laundry room. Luckily my wife is smart about these things and had me ask if there's a weekend rate and a weekday rate (there was, on the order of $20-30 difference), so, since our's was a non-emergency we had them come out on Monday.

The plumber (Ron) was polite, punctual, and fixed the problem completely. Additionally, the price was really reasonable (less than $125!). The plumber even scrubbed down the entire utility sink basin and laundry room floor since it had been covered with the backed up water. By the time he was finished the place was cleaner than before the flood! I kind of wanted to take credit for the cleaning myself when my wife asked, but I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Anyway, I don't write a lot of Yelp reviews, but I thought these people deserve some recognition. I understand why my coworker had such high praise for this business.

They responded quickly, fixed my complicated problem and didn't overcharge. Professional, quick and reasonable!

Just got our fall furnace tune up for $39. Watch their ads for sale prices.  They have done many projects for us with great results and reasonable prices.  All the technicians we have worked with have been excellent but Rick is always the best.

Best plumbers ever. Extremely squared away on booking appointments (you can do it online with quick confirm) and showing up ON TIME AS PROMISED.  This alone is huge.  But that's not all.  The quality of the work performed on multiple jobs has been first rate, and the charges were very fair.  Highly recommended.

If you live in The Twin Cities and need a plumber, these guys are great. They don't do weekends and emergencies, but they are family owned, they are kind, and they work hard to solve problems. We bought a 20 year old home. I met one of the plumbers as he came to bid on our kitchen remodel. He plumbed the house originally. I saw the company sticker on our hot water heater and gave them a call. They replaced our sump pump and added a generator, not any more than what we needed. We had a leak in our tub and the owner's son was down the street and came over, took care of it. Then we had some mystery water sound that two of their folks came to figure out. They have been really there for us, fairly priced and kind. They don't open clogged drains, but for everything else, I would give them a call. (Just not on the weekend!)

We had Legend Services do all of the plumbing and heating work with finishing our basement and it came out great. They were on time, very friendly. Left no mess behind, professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone I know.

Contacted ACI after seeing a truck parked on my street. After a couple different bids ACI was most fair and consistent to what I was expecting. They did a lot of work in my remodeled kitchen and couldn't have been happier with Dave who did all the work. Friendly, fast and overall would recommend and use again in the future.

Fast and Efficient! I had a water heater go out. He was their in a flash. Replaced the old one. I was pleasantly surprised with low low cost, especially since it was a Saturday.

I contacted Gene's Water & Sewer to obtain a bid to repair cracks in our sewer lateral which were revealed during a sewer line scope.  Craig returned my inquiry in less than a day, and returned an estimate to me within an hour of our discussion.  Because of the large scope of our repair needs and high cost, Craig walked me through another option for repairing our line - work that could be performed only by a competitor company.  He provided over 30 minutes of thorough and helpful guidance, including explaining an alternative solution that could only be performed by his competitor.  Gene's is clearly exemplary in its professionalism, knowledge and customer service.  Hire Gene's!

Wow! They have not been out to do the service yet, but I am completely wowed by their customer service so far. Within 10 minutes of requesting a quote, they provided a fair, upfront total cost. On top of that, they are sending a plumber right away this afternoon. I'm very, very impressed.
Update: awesome, fast service for the price quoted. The technician was super friendly. I highly recommend!

Prompt arrival, professional service.  A little pricey but after 4.5 hours of trying to fix it myself, I had to thrown in the towel and get a professional.

Great work at a very reasonable price!

Fast friendly and clean service I will use them again.

I recommend them to anyone!

The high satisfaction I have in this vendor should be obvious from the fact that this is the very first review I've EVER posted on Yelp, for any company of any kind. Prompt, clean, candid & thorough. I've just found our go-to pro for our household plumbing & HVAC needs.

Bob was prompt and inexpensive.  Most importantly, though, Bob got the job done.  Our bathroom sink was clogged and after many hours trying to snake it ourselves, we decided to call in a professional.  The last plumber we called charge $135 an hour (minimum).  When I called Bob, he told me he could be over in 20 minutes (it was a Saturday).  Since I'd just left my house, we set something up for Tuesday morning.  When I asked Bob how much he charged, he told me $75.  An hour? I asked.  No, just $75.  Bob promptly arrived on Tuesday morning and used some machine to drill through our clog.  I'll call Bob EVERY time we have a sewer/clog issue--definitely worth the money!

I was looking for someone to put in a new air conditioner, water heater and water softener.  I ended up choosing Air Mechanical as they were up front with everything.  Installation for all too a few hours in one day and all the components are working great.  I would recommend these guys.

Very good and honest. Issues with customer service. He waited until I texted to find out why he wasn't here on time, then told me he was on an emergency job. Ended up 1.5hrs late. He did not over charge. Even explained why he couldn't do the secondary job.

Highly recommend this company over the larger ones.   I feel like I either got scammed or the other company had poor equipment to get rid of tree roots growing through the main line.  Never will I call Roto rooters. Their hours might not be 24 hours but as the owner said to me it'll be worth the wait.  And it was.    Thanks for taking care of our root problem and your honest with work.  We need more small family owned companies like you that know what you are doing and do a good job at honest fair rate.

Our plumbing issue left us without a kitchen sink on a Saturday. After having a general contractor over we realized that the clog was in the pipe down in the basement and it was beyond his ability to fix it.  He suggested we call Roto-Rooter and we are glad we did. The technician came an hour after our call and cleared our drain.  We have a six month warranty on the work he did. For a Saturday 8:30 pm service call I'd say the price was very fair. The tech also left us with an enzyme to pour down our drains once a month in order to prevent this type of build up.  We are very happy with this plumber. I hope we don't need a plumber again but if/when we do we will call you back.

I had my furnace replaced several months ago, under Home Warranty, by All Climate Mechanical, and I have to say, I was not happy with the result.  The only redeeming quality was that the two kids who came to install it were fairly nice, and seemed to care.

On the down side, they installed the furnace without replacing any of the out-of-code parts attached to it (illegal), didn't have it inspected afterward, and left me with several code violations and a potentially dangerous in-line vent contraption that every mechanical contractor since then has told me I need to get rid of, and they should not have left.  On top of that, they couldn't figure out how to get it hooked back up to my Ecobee Thermostat, and while they were trying to get it figured out, the office called and told me they had to leave because they had another job to get to... so I was left to figure out how to get my furnace back on by myself.  Also they used foil tape for pretty much everything, which seemed a little shoddy (some of it came off a couple weeks later).

Fortunately, most of this was paid for by the home warranty, but it's not what I'd call 5-star service.

Incidentally, the bill also didn't make a lot of sense:
Total - $860.00
HO pay - $325.00
CCHW to pay - $760.00

...Maybe that extra $225 was supposed to be for the inspection? ;)
