Best Businesses in Minnesota

Super down-to-earth and easy to work with. Prompt and friendly. Have used them twice, thumbs up all the way!

I love these guys.  Have had to use them on three occasions.  They handled the same day installation of a water heater on short notice during a snowstorm for us last winter at a fair price.

They came to our home and took a look at a pipe that we thought might have to be moved to facilitate the installation of a new dishwasher.  After taking a look they told us that it wasn't really necessary and didn't charge us for the trip out.

Finally, they installed a new kitchen faucet for us today after calling yesterday afternoon.  We had gotten another quote and they came in significantly under that.  The installer was on time, friendly and professional.  He explained in detail what he was doing as he did it and completed the entire process in about 45 minutes.  And the price quote upfront was what it ended up being on the final bill.  After dealing with other vendors that always seemed to be trying to upsell me, it couldn't have been a better experience.

If you live in their service area I HIGHLY recommend calling them first if you have plumbing problems.  I have a thing for fast, honest, quality service.

We have used Madetzke and Gust three times. We have had a tankless water heater, new sink, new water shutoff, ice maker line, and gas stove. Amazing service. Always on budget. Curious. I would and do recommend to everyone. If you need a plumber look no further.

Lange's Plumbing & Heating have provided us with superior service for years. Jim and his crew have been quick to respond to our needs, efficient in their work and always priced fairly. It would be easy to take advantage when there is no heat in the middle of a cold Minnesota winter or suddenly you find your hot water heater has failed........they simply respond like professionals.

Fast, fair, friendly and with the quality workmanship we need. For us it is Lange's Plumbing and Heating!

A four-generation family business that's reliable, friendly, and quick. We got an appointment right away when others had weeks-long waiting lists. John and Paul are a great team and even course-corrected when a different carpenter messed up. And Mrs. Hovde was gracious when I lost the invoice! I hope we don't need their services again, but they'd be my first call if I did. Thanks, John!

Our sink was clogged and I was unable to clear the drain myself. I called Ron the Sewer Rat late in the day and the were out the next day mid day. Jere was able to complete the job in short order and was a very nice, friendly visitor to our home. He cleaned up well. I highly recommend Ron and Jere's services.

Great team! Kevin came out and helped me clear my main line drain and was great. They also took video which was extremely helpful.

the knob on the bathtub broke, i bought the part and tried to fix it, but there was a bad leak, so I called Neighborhood Plumbing. They come out the next day. As they got out of their truck they said it would cost 250.00 without even looking at the knob, they weren't even in the house. Within in 15 minutes they said they had fix it, but it still was leaking, not as bad, but still leaking. All said and done they said it would cost me a 1000.00 dollars to get it to stop leaking. They were unprofessional, when I tried to ask a question their reply was this is the only way to fix it. They took my money and left. I would not spend the 1000.00 to fix the problem. So it cost me 250.00 for 15 minutes and no parts. I did call the main manager, he is working on the problem but no results as of this time.

Main water valve need to be replaced... Had NO water. They came and fixed it in record time great company

They've helped us out a couple times with leaking, corroded valves. The plumbers and scheduling staff are friendly, efficient, knowledgeable. Well done! Much appreciated!

I called Barnes Plumbing to have them take care of some minor repairs around the house. The office staff was very friendly when I was scheduling the work and Chris the plumber who arrived was also very friendly and professional. He called 20 minutes before arriving, used boot covers the whole time, and was happy to answer many questions and explain various plumbing components throughout my newly purchased home. He also thoroughly tested his repairs and actually caught a small pipe crack that was overlooked at first. Labor rate seems average, but he charged me an extra 15 minutes when he had to run to the hardware store for a basic part. Overall, I am happy with the work and would recommend Chris to others needing plumbing service.

Chad was the worst plumber I have ever used. He called and said I'll be there at 9:30am. showed up at 8:30am because he had nothing to do. He replaced a shower cartridge - in all of 10 min. I called another plumber and they said it should take longer than that. There was no indication that he even replaced the cartridge. No water in the tub, no dirt, nothing except a NICK on my chrome ring above the handle. He handed me a dirty part that he pulled out of his dirty bucket and asked me if I wanted it - very UNPROFESSIONAL. He had turned the water off in order to replace the cartridge. After the supposed installation, he went downstairs and turned the water back on. Never went back into the bathroom to check his work. If he had, he would have seen that a lot of the water was now flowing into the tub from the faucet below. I called to speak to the mgr - Jenny is always in meetings or going to meetings. She finally called me back and told me that when a new part is installed, another one may be affected. She said she would have Chad call me with an estimate on replacing that part. I never got a call (6 days later) Jenny was in another meeting when I called so I spoke to her husband Dick. The first thing he said was that the call was being recorded. Like I care? He didn't listen and had a hard time understanding anything. I told him the handle was lose when you turn it - he said it shouldn't be I told him it was probably never replaced or it was the cheap part that they put in there (they buy in bulk - JUNK parts). I also told him about water pouring out of the faucet in the tub as well. He said on your water heater? I had no idea what he was talking about, as I told him the TUB. Dick said he had a hard time believing Chad didn't check his work. I told him there was no water in the tub, and you can't check when the water is off. Since they charge $180 an hour, I told him about other things that needed to be done. He told me if I went over the hour, I would have to pay him overtime - to talk to him about other projects? He is their only plumber for residential work. CALL ANOTHER PLUMBING COMPANY...You should expect someone more professional at this hourly rate!!!!

My husband and I have called on the Cities1 guys sev times.  Once for plumbing (a water heater) and most recently furnace/AC.  They stand by their work and I especially appreciate that they explain (in regular people terms) what's happening and what options we have so we could make an educated decision.  Love those guys - hard working.

After calling another local plumber and leaving an email and them not getting back to me, I called Dad's plumbing and talked to a real person who said they would have the plumber call me back soon, he called within thirty minutes, told me where he was and about how long to get to my place, and got right to work. Friendly, easy to talk to, and good at explaining what he was doing and why.  He and his comrade fixed the drainage issue and got my kitchen back to working order for the upcoming holiday.  I would highly recommend them, even if he would not have been able to come to quickly, he called back right away and let me know his situation in conjunction with mine, that is good business, and he cares about customer service!

Had two techs come out to look at some electrical work and see if they could give us a quote. It was going to be a big job and probably make them quite a bit of money. I didn't get a call with a quote from them for over a month, so I called and checked in. They told me the head electrician would call me within the week. A month after that call...still nothing. Called a second time and they said they have no recollection of techs being out at our house or my first phone call. Horrendous customer service and I would avoid them at all costs.

No idea of the quality of this service as they never showed up for my scheduled tune up appointment. I waited over 2 weeks for an appointment and when the person didn't show up I called them.  First I was told I had the wrong date. I did not have the wrong date.  They called me back and said they had to reschedule my appointment but had FORGOTTEN TO CALL ME.  We had cleaned out the furnace room and were awaiting the results of the inspection to determine if we could do another home improvement or if we'd need a new furnace in the near future.  They REALLY caused problems for us by doing this!  I wouldn't waste my time with this company as they are obviously unreliable and have little concern for anyone's schedule other than their own. There are better providers out there who will put their customers first.

Made an appointment with this company the said they  were booked out for 11 days.  Jim Anderson  called way past his appointment time of 8 AM at 10:30 am saying he was having trouble with his truck and he would be here in a hour. Jim arrived around noon and he says he needed a longer hose and a permit from the city and that he would be back this afternoon. Jim never came back or called .So I Called the city and he hadn't got the permit or every been there. I left a message for him after 4 pm and he never called back. Jim finally calls the next day and says  his pump is broke and he would call when it was fixed. I told him no thanks and we would find someone else. We called a different  sewer Co. and they came out the day same.
