Best Businesses in Saint Paul, MN

If they have a slogan, I don't know it. You don't need to know much more than this, they really work hard to get the job done right. I'll try to spare you from reading the entire review so I'll hit the high points. They cost less than pretty much everyone else. They bring a bunch of cool high tech equipment that must cost a fortune (they can make a high definition video of the inside of your pipes so you can see what's going on for yourself). They bring a good attitude and friendly demeanor. And they really do want to make your drains run as good as new.

The job I called them out for was a last minute oh-boy-I-need-an-inspection-now kind of situation. Jake came right out and was happy to let me watch what he was doing and explained what was going on. By the way, my house is OLD! Jake had to break a clog in a pipe that was like cement. After much effort he couldn't wash out the scale that was produced. He told me I could leave it that way, it may run out in time, but that I should really have the pipes hydro-jetted. I had been watching the images from the camera in the pipe so I knew he wasn't trying to sell me something I didn't need. There was a lot of scale in there!

Alex came out 2 days later for the jetting. He worked for a long time trying to get everything out of the lines but was having trouble with our unique sewer setup. In the end, he had to come back. Together with the boss, they got the job done. They also were able to give me a lot of information about my sewer lines. Information that was not all good, but it is better to know ahead of time so I can plan for the future. Remember, this is an old house with nearly 80 year old pipes.

In the end these guys did an excellent job dealing with a far more complicated system than they expected. I was around to see a lot of the work they did and to hear them discuss a lot of the situation. It is apparent that they truly cared about how well they got the job done at my house and they have an honest culture of interest in knowing what is going on under every house in which they work.

One last thing, no amount of chemical drain cleaner will do what these guys can do with a real drain snake and a hydro jet. When I think about how much I use the drains in my house and how important it is for them to work correctly, it's a no brainer to call them out when things aren't going down the way they should.

Amazing service. Mike is a downright champ. This afternoon, he graciously handled a gnarly wasp infestation in my backyard and replaced a fried capacitor in my air conditioner in a matter of minutes, all with a friendly smile. Fabulously cold air is now spewing into the house. I will be a returning customer. Krinkie's for life!

My main sewer line was clogged and on the coldest day of the year! Found John's Drain via the web and was instantly impressed with the speed of their response to my water-logged basement. They answered the phone during off-hours, showed up on time, cleared my main line, cleaned up after themselves and it was extremely reasonable. I'm a big fan. I've added John to my 'faves' on my phone.

Thank you for the professional, friendly and fast service yesterday! Our buisness could have been completely shut down due to a plumbing issues, but St. Paul Plumbing and Heating saved the day! I would highly recommend St. Paul Plumbing Heating to anyone, but especially buisnesses. Cliff Lake Dental Care was impressed with Mark's professionalism with our staff and customers. Thanks again!

Mike installed our disposal that we bought from Costco. He ran the disposal numerous times before leaving our house.

Thought he was concerned about something but he said everything is good. Lifted at that.

Next day ran the disposal and it has a sharp noise when switch is turned on. And sometimes a flash comes from switches.

Called Mike and his response was- fetter call the manufacturer. I didn't do anything wrong.

Well Mike. Nice customer service.

We had a drainage issue with our basement drain so set up an appointment for two days out. Jeff G. Came and did a wonderful job. Explained what was going on what he was going to do and it is work quickly. Could not have been happier and will use them again if we ever have a drain issue.

I can't vouch for actual services, but TJ just called me back on Labor Day Weekend and offered invaluable over-the-phone consulting and a reference for someone who does work in my area.  GREAT customer service!

I had just a relatively simple bathroom sink problem, which they repaired in a timely fashion. I called them back two months later for what I thought was a problem related to the first repair and that it might not have been a good fix after all. It turned out to be my mistake and it was really a separate problem. Nevertheless I was charged only for a house call. I thought that was very professional and I highly recommend them.

This was the third company I had out to clear my sewer. They were able to accomplish what the first 2 companies couldn't do...they are knowledgeable and honest. The advice I had been given was that my problem would cost THOUSANDS to repair. Gene took the time to listen and go over my video (gotten from
The previous company who said I'd need an excavator) and asked me to try one more clean out before tearing up my basement and/or yard. He could have gone along with an overpriced and unnecessary repair, but instead cleaned out my problem with a PROPER use of blades and knowledgeable technician, George. I'll recommend them a million times for a job done right without added costs and a HUGE savings. THANK YOU!!

Stillwater plumbing helped us with our Rennai tankless hot water system when no one else would. John is reliable, honest and knows what he's doing. Thank you for your maintenance and driving so far to get to us. We appreciate your reliable service.

Steve was great, super friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend him, he responded really quickly, and it was a fair price.

I called about my non-working water heater flooding the basement at 8:30 a.m., and we had a new one just 4 hours later. (They were even on another job when I called.) They are professional, respectful, and friendly to dogs. My heater was over 20 years old, so it was overdue.

I am a General contractor and maintain and over see several properties.
Commercial and residential.  We have used Gust Plumbing for 20 years.   They are dependable, honest, and fair priced.  We don't use anyone else because they are so good.  I highly recommend them for any plumbing projects.

Don came to my house at 1am to get up some emergency water pumping from my back yard window well to the front yard.  He worked quickly and smartly.  Paying for plumbing emergencies is never fun, but I believe i got a fair price.

I can't give him less than 5 stars simply because he is an honest, independent plumber that's willing to take the emergency jobs.  I'll be looking to him for my next plumbing job.

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.

Rotor Rooter wanted $229, Mr, Rooter wanted $339 to run a 100 feet to clear main drain;  A Aart's Tim's Speedy plumbing got here an hour early and only charge $150.    Excellent service and courteous.

I would not recommend this company to anyway.  My work was covered by an insurance company and they selected Randy Lane.  They sent the owner of the company - Brian - to my house.  His work was of low-to-average quality.  In the process of the simple repair he was doing he pushed a pipe through my ceiling and then used a saw to make the hole bigger.  He is now falsely stating that the hole was caused by water damage when it was clearly caused when he pushed a pipe through.

He also left a ladder at my house.  I offered to give it back to him, but he has not called.  So, unless you want free tools, false statements about their work, and a hole in your ceiling, do not use this company.

Let me just say that if you are looking for water service for your home or office, look no further than Premium Waters in Northeast Minneapolis!  

I called their main office line looking for general information, and DJ was in my office, talking with me in person within half an hour.  Fantastic pricing on water and the cooler rental, and I love doing business with local companies.  Give them a call!
