Best Businesses in Saint Paul, MN

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!

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!

Can't say enough good things about these guys!! Our general contractor, Corey, was SO responsive and easy to work with. He communicated every step of the way on an interior water damage insurance claim involving mold. He made sure if there would be any out-of-pocket costs, we would know about them. He handled all of the communication with our insurance adjuster at lighting speed! Start to finish, he had the project done in less than 2 weeks. The previous general contractor we'd been communicating with (different company) drug his feet for months after our insurance asked for a more detailed quote. Corey and his guys provided everything necessary immediately! He stopped over on a Friday and had the bid to insurance by Monday. Everyone that came out were timely, friendly and got the job done to our expectations!! Thank you!!!!

Fantastic company!  I originally scheduled a service call with a large company to repair a leaking drain line, but then read so many negative reviews about price gouging that I decided to keep looking.  I tend to prefer small, individually or family owned businesses (being a small business owner myself) and Mark's Plumbing seemed to fit the bill.

I called and spoke with Mark himself.  It sounded like they were pretty busy today and he suggested they could come early next week.  Because I was already at home I really wanted to get it taken care of that same day.  I told this to Mark and he said that he would do what he could.  He checked his plumbers' schedules and said he could get me in sometime between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.  At 1:00 p.m. sharp a plumber arrived, quickly diagnosed the problem, told me how best to repair it, and what the cost would be.  He said he needed some materials to do the job right and would be right back.  Indeed he was and before long my leaking drain was repaired.

The repair may not have been all that complicated, but it was nevertheless above my comfort level.  That said, I'd trust Mark's for any plumbing repair, from the simple to the much more complex.  The unbelievable customer service has made me a customer for life.  I can only speak about my experience with this one plumber but he could not have been friendlier or more professional.  I would highly recommend Mark's Plumbing without any reservation whatsoever.

John is absolutely the best. Hard worker, responds to your calls and gets stuff done quick.

Local small business. Nick is a Licensed Master Plumber. Very affordable. He provides quality, honest, guaranteed service. We called him out for a project one time and he didn't have the specialty equipment - he didn't charge us, made a referral and then followed up with us later to make sure the work was complete. That kind of concern from a business is rare. Highly recommended.

Steve is an amazing plumber!  He was able to come and fix our leaky tub pipe in less than 30 min and did a fabulous job!  He was professional, courteous and a wealth of knowledge, explaining everything to me as he worked away on my rusty pipe. I will definitely use Steve again in the future for any plumbing issues that may arise and I strongly suggest you do the same!

We have used his service several times in the past and again this morning after having our sewer back up into our basement. He was prompt, friendly and efficient. He charged a reasonable fee and when we called in the evening, he quickly scheduled the appointment for the next morning.

I called on a Saturday September 5th, Labor Day Weekend, because our water heater was leaking and flooding our basement. We were able to turn off the water and gas going to the tank and clean up our floor, but we couldn't identify the problem. They were able to schedule me on Sunday and Jon W came out right away on Sunday morning.

He was able to pinpoint the problem right away. Unfortunately, it was not repairable. Jon went back to the shop and came back with a new water heater. He got the new one installed and the old one removed in a very reasonable amount of time.

Jon was very cheerful and friendly and didn't make us feel bad about having him out on a holiday weekend. We did not have to pay an outrageous fee for emergency/after hours service and the service was outstanding.

I've used this company before and it's always been very good, but this time it was outstanding. I would recommend this company, and this technician in particular, to anyone.

We just moved to town and desperately needed a plumber for some issues in our new home. Not knowing any plumbers in town I decided to google plumbers and ran across this company. I called and they immediately set me up with an appointment. I received a text message confirming the appointment. They arrived when they said they would and quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it. About a week later I had another issue. Called City View Plumbing and again received immediate service. The same plumbers I had before arrived and I knew that I was in good hands! Again they quickly diagnosed the problem and will fix it once the part comes in. Nobody loves water leaks or plumbing problems. I now have peace of mind that this company will always be there for me in a time of need. I will definitely recommend them highly to anyone looking for a plumber or having plumbing issues. Kudos to a very well run company!

Horrible service and recommendations by this plumber. Felt like we were scammed. Had another company come out and repaired the issue in an hour. Will never recommen this company to anyone

Called to get a quote on re wiring a home that I just purchased. Was on hold forever before I got someone live. Then they couldn't do anything but take my number and have someone call me back. A young lady called me back that spoke a million miles an hour from a script. I asked for lead times on how far out their services are and she just kept repeating the same script over and over again. I asked for a manager to call me and never got a call back. if this it what it takes just to get someone to answer a few simple questions, I can imagine what their service is like.  No thanks. I'll take my business elsewhere.

They canceled my schedule appointment and I had to push my project back an entire week.  I called to ask them to come on Saturday because they were the ones who had to cancel it and they said they would have to charge me a emergency fee. They were the ones who had to cancel and to me, that means the company makes it work. So I would not recommend this company at all.  If you cancel on me, you make it right. NOT me.

The hot water heater in my daughter's house sprung a leak on a Friday night.  She called me in a panic, so I talked her through shutting the water off.  Since I had a home warranty, I called the warranty company who said they would have Masters call her.  I didn't expect to hear anything until Monday since the warranty company had a 48 hr response time.  Master's called her on Monday, asking if they could come by and replace the water heater.  I was so surprised it was that fast.   About a month later, I realized that it needed a city permit, so I emailed them asking about it and got an answer back within 2 hrs.    They said they don't pull the permit because the warranty company doesn't pay for that, but they would pull it if I wanted them to, but I would have to pay for it.    I said yes, so they went and pulled the permit, scheduled the inspector and everything passed.   Everything was prompt and professional.

MN Plumbing and Heating is professional and courteous. Their work is high quality. I have no complaint on that front. However, this comes at a premium. My furnace was shutdown and I was nervous to get it replaced soon so I scheduled an installation for my water heather, AC and furnace all on the same day they came out to give the estimates. I would advice against making impulsive purchase on such expensive items. Their price seems high compared to what I have seen with other companies, but I guess you get what you pay for. At the end of the day, I appreciate the quality work and the great customer service. They were willing to work with me to make me feel better about the premium price that I had to shell out. Thomas was responsive and did cater to my need. He also seems like a pretty good sales guy explaining stuff, make you want to purchase everything lol.

I've used All Ways Drains several times over the past couple years to install a kitchen faucet, replace a bathroom faucet, install a toilet and most recently to fix a leaking toilet. Each time they've been professional, friendly, and on time. They are very responsive and easy to work with. I highly recommend them.

Had leak under tub at house we were refinishing and initially the plumber did the job quickly and at fair price. After renovations on house complete, the tub having never been filled or used, we tested tub and it leaked into room below. Called the plumber at least five times and when he would answer, he would put me off and never called me back.  Ultimately, he refused to remedy the faulty repair claiming, incorrectly, that he had sent a bill for a later 10 minute look see, and we had never paid it.  This was absolutely false.  Poor work quality and absolutely worst customer service ever.  DO NOT USE - there are many other good, responsible plumbers in St. Paul who are more trustworthy and will at least try to stand behind their work.
