Best Businesses in Saint Paul, MN

I previously used them a few years back by the recommendation of my neighbor, who is a also a plumber but doesn't work the type of job that I needed done to my drain. My pipes are old and needs to be clean every so often. So when I saw a little water backing up again on my basement floor drain, I completely forgot who I used. Went online and saw a familiar name and figured that was the company I used before. It turned be a franchise company that is extremely expensive and tried to scam me by saying my line might be broken and that another tech will need look at it to confirm that I'll need new pipes. I should have listened to my intuition from the very first call I made to this company, even the call was a complete different experience from what I remembered.

So I dig into to my records from years before and saw that it was Midway Sewer I used last time. Ron came to look at my drain and was awesome. He was warm and personable, completely different from the dude who tried to rip me off. Ron ran the line no problem ALL THE WAY through the pipe whereas the other guy said the line couldn't move any further than a few feet due to a block caused by the broken pipe. The job with Midway Sewer costed SIGNIFICANTLY lower. So SO much less!!! And they got the job.

As of today, this locally owned company does not have a lot of reviews on here (but those that are, are all rated 5 stars), so if quantity is what you're looking for and you decide to go with another company, here's an advice, if they won't disclose the price of the job, go with Midway Sewer Service Company of St Paul. If not Midway Sewer Service Company of St Paul, avoid the franchise and go with the locally owned companies who knows that reputation for honest work matters in our community.

Genuinely some of the best people we have had the pleasure of hiring to work on our house. Youngcastle Bathrooms are super responsive and great communicators.

Also, Dimitri is the best. He went above and beyond and is extremely knowledgeable without trying to get you spend extra money. He was always on time too and is extremely thorough. I'd hire him again in a heartbeat.

Our project took three weeks to complete, and it was incredible how non-invasive and clean Dimitri was, even through snowstorms. Plus, he was great/considerate with pets.

Fabulous! We had issues with a broken sprinkler line, valves leaking, valves stuck open and valves that would close all the way. They fixed them all and in a very timely manner all while explaining everything as they went. This is the type of company you almost want something to break just so you can have them come out to fix it. Just kidding, but seriously they are that good! They are also very reasonably priced and always came in under the estimate.

Mark has come out to my house to install a new water softener and a new toilet over the last few years. He responded quickly, was very professional, took the time to explain what the issues were, and always left the work area really clean. I would definitely hire Mark again for any plumbing issues. I hope he doesn't retire or quit the plumbing business anytime soon!

Outstanding work from Rescue Sewer & Drain. My home was built in 1947 and Roman repaired a leaking pipe + brought everything else up to code in a day and half. Outstanding work, great service, can't recommend this business enough.

The best in the business! We've used them a few times now and they never fail to exceed our expectations. Fast, friendly, and professional service. We will definitely be calling Legend the next time we need heating, ac, or plumbing work done. Thank you, Erik, for getting our ac fixed so quick!

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.

No one likes when crap goes wrong with your plumbing.  No one.  So, when you're having problems with your pipes, you can't mess around and call some clown to get things done.  No.  No.

You need to call Keith Nelson.

I won't get into what happened, but let's just say I tried to fix it myself and ended up $&%^ing the bed.  A quick call to Keith (on Saturday afternoon!) and he was there within a couple hours.

Great guy, friendly, and didn't make me feel like a toolbag for gumming up the works.  He worked fast and did a kick-ass job.

For laughs, he even checked my garbage disposal and made an adjustment there, too.  Jesus.  I couldn't even do THAT right.

But if you want the best and just an all-around good guy taking care of your plumbing needs, dial up Keith.

Don't F around.

We had some bad plumbing underneath our kitchen sink. Called up Rose Plumbing as my sister-in-law had used them in the past. They came out the next morning (earlier than they said they would!) and got everything torn out, replaced and working just fine in about an hour. Denny and his son were polite, answered questions, and wore masks to protect themselves and us. I always appreciate a good plumbing company and they were a very no frills get the job done kind of crew. Thank you!

These guys came out and fixed a burst pipe in my garage. They made a stressful situation Very easy to deal with. These guys are super nice and honest. I would highly recommend them.

The team came in and tackled the job - all without a drip.

Very diligent and friendly, very capable.  

Had to coordinate around a granite install; no problem.  

Price was reasonable for how long they were here.  

Need more skilled trades like these guys!

I'm generally handy around the house so I tried many things including attempting to flush out the clog by dumping boiling water down the drain, using baking soda and vinegar mix and dismantling the drain and snaking the pipe myself... One trip to Menards, three hours and a sore back later finally I gave in and decided to contact a plumber.

I called several plumbers including one plumber that was highly referred by friend. I was told by that company they would charge me double-time due to the weekend and suggested I call back Monday. I called back 8:30 am on Monday and they told me they were fully booked for the next two days and they would call me back if they could fit me in.

The last place I called was Affordable Sewer and Water for the St. Paul area (I live in Maplewood) the operator was professional and gave me and quote which was aproimately $70 cheaper than all the quotes I received that morning plus they were able to schedule me right away so I set an appointment for that afternoon.

My Drain is now free of clogs after the plumber used his 60-foot power snake to clear it out. After all of this I still haven't heard back from the two companies who said they would call back. The plumber was conscious and respectful of my house and put on boot coverings and didn't leave any mess whatsoever. I'm completely satisfied with the service Affordable Sewer and Water has provided, they communicated their fees clearly and efficiently performed the job. I will contact Affordable Sewer and Water first next time I have plumbing needs.

Pros: Clear pricing, overall friendly and professional service, on time

I has 3 separate plumbers bid on a laundry room replumb: remove old concrete sink and get rid of unused old lines and vents, new sink, new gas lines, new waste and fresh lines. Move dryer vent and bring floor drain up to code. These guys did great work, left the area neat with nice details like securing my ac hose and running it out of site. And all this for a great price and frankly it was done...DONE before the other two even submitted their bids. Will call first next time

It's pretty impressive how they messed up everything and then screwed us over. We had a bathroom remodel done and Dean's did the tub, toilet, and shower install. They screwed up each part: For the shower they installed the valve without considering the tiling thickness so it was installed too deep into the wall. They also did not confirm that the valve operated correctly. So then once the tile was up they had to order an extension piece. Then they realized that the 2-way valve did not work properly. So then they had to either install a 6-way valve over the top or tear out the tile in order to replace the valve. We went with the 6 way. Then the shower pressure was terrible and we realized that they installed it with a bunch of paper and tape in the pipe which was clogging it.
For the Toilet, they installed it with one wax ring, which turned out to not be enough. So we leave on vacation and my mother-in-law uses the toilet. Upon our return we find that the toilet leaked into the basement for two weeks.
On the tub, they somehow managed to install the drain incorrectly and caused a brass fitting to crack. we had water all over our basement! It was an absolute mess. Then comes the repair bill to fix the basement ceiling: Dean's covered the cost of drying out the ceiling because some of the moisture was from the toilet but the greater than $10,000 ceiling repair is on us because, per Deans, we supplied the part. In the quote with them they state that part of their installation is to inspect all work and ensure that everything is in working order. They literally did none of that for any of the installations.
Total amateur hour! Please save yourself the trouble and find someone else.

The WHOLE time, this plumber told me about how juicy his pear was. He told me it was ripe and other inappropriate things. It disgusted me and my 37 year old son who lives in my basement. He told me the plumber was fruity. I guess that explains why he likes pears. He left me in a state of confusion

Disrespectful and a racist. Dont give him your money. He is known for over charging and being disrespectful. Only works with rich white folks and scams them by over charging because the rich folks dont know anything.
