Best Plumbing Services in Saint Paul, MN

Phenomenal service from my initial call to schedule right through the completion of work.  The tech was very professional, friendly, clearly knowledgeable and did a great job communicating his assessment, plan and summary of work completed.    Pricing was fair and competitive.  Tech wore  a mask the entire time he was in the house.

Always call Duda plumbing. They're responsive and competent and able to handle problems on an older house like ours. Always feels good doing business with Hopkins neighbors. Plumbing is never cheap but Duda delivers value.

We had been in our new home roughly 24 hours when raw sewage began pouring into our basement from the floor drain, the shower drain, anywhere it could get into the basement. I was about to call one of the big names when I saw a great review of this local company. I called in the early morning and Nate pulled up before 2pm. He was a rock star. He dropped the camera probe in, found the obstruction, augered it out, and inspected the pipe's entire length for future problems as he went, talking me through his findings. He then cleared out my decomposed drain cover and cleaned up everything he touched, as well as some of the mess that was already there. Great service, great advice, easy going, and the cost was less than I've paid in the past for other companies (by a good margin). I've already made a calendar entry in my phone to call McDonough's every two years for preventative maintenance on the pipe. We can go back to loving our new house again!

Dave is a life saver! 3 days before Christmas and our water heater died on us. The next day he was able (and willing) to get and install a new water heater, on a day he planned on taking off, since it didn't get above 0 and we had strong winds. Second time working with him and I will never look for another plumber again!

I first want to thank Rascher for the quick response. I called every single plumber in the St. Paul area and not one of those companies seem to care about my situation. I got told Monday was the next appointment and one company told me it would be $700-$1000 just to come out and it wouldn't be until 6pm. Regardless of the situation Rascher said they'll call me back in around noon and they did. They sent Jason and Jake and right away they drove from West St. Paul to my residence. He inspected the pipe and right away got to work. Jason and Jake made sure they cleaned after and made sure everything was nice and right before they left. Thank you so much for coming over and fixing my head ache! I will for sure use this company, hopefully for nothing serious as what I had today but sure will recommend and use them again.

Dropped the ball on no heat situation. I got a 1000 dollar bill for a no heat situation from 2 months ago! On the invoice they lie about me saying I was replacing the blower on my Buderous boiler. Who would want to risk blowing up their home? I told them the replacement blower was coming in the next day and I would call them. They declined to put in the blower while I was still out of heat. A part that needed replacing was never installed either. Buderous is a hard to service unit but their technician had been doing an excellent job but this business is not reliable when the pressure is on.

Can't count on them. No shows. Called for bids and they never returned calls. Didn't show for a service call. Sketchy looking employees?

They did a great job!  The plumber was very clean and  friendly.  They found our mystery leak and fixed our problems, which turned out to be a leaky toilet.  They had good customer service and were able to complete the entire job in just a couple hours!

Our water heater sprang a slow leak and I called (late on a Friday) Benjamin Franklin Plumbing because we had used them MANY years ago - the first day we moved into our current home.  Julie, who answered the phone, was VERY helpful and scheduled a plumber for Saturday. There was no set timeframe but they assured me they would call before arriving - which they did - both by text and by phone. This permitted me to continue on with my Saturday errands, knowing I had plenty of time to arrive home before the plumber did. I totally appreciated that transparency in scheduling. Dylan was our plumber who knew exactly what to do. He was professional, pleasant to deal with, and efficient.  He wasted NO time and installed our new heater within about 3 hours. He had an incredibly tight space in which to work and did an excellent job. He was also very respectful of our home, which Is a biggie for me! All things considered, including having work done on a weekend, I didn't think the price was too bad. We were up and running with water and hot water in no time. I highly recommend Benjamin Franklin for your plumbing needs. They are reliable and won't disappoint.

They have always been good to us. They can usually fit me in to open up our sprinklers in the Spring or to blow them out later in the Fall.

I had a very bad experience. From a mistake causing water damage to my house, to missed local code that resulted in paying twice to get the job done, to tile chipped by the plumber on final trim installation.  All of the above could be worked out and some were, but overall the owners approach was one of blame and focus on his bottom line rather than my outcome. I hate to leave a small business bad reviews, but as someone who relies heavily on reviews, I wanted the info out there.

We asked for help with a new bathroom installation. Mike came out for a couple of hours. He talked about all the work he would, and charged me $300 for the inspection alone. Then Mike NEVER returned a phone call TO ACTUALLY PERFORM THE WORK.

COMPLETE WASTE OF $300.
FIND SOMEONE ELSE.

I own a condo unit and contacted Lakes Areas because I had little heat being generated and very high energy bills. Lake Area offered to come out the same day I contacted them. After very thorough testing of my heat issue, they concluded that I needed to replace my heat pump unit (this is equivalent to a furnace in a house). I was charged $200 on the spot for the visit, of which I wasn't made aware of when making the appointment. They quoted me $13,390 for replacement of a heat pump and dry wall repair, a larger hole needed to be cut in the ceiling for installation. I was quoted HALF this amount by a second company and eventually found someone to do the work for ONE THIRD the cost. The markup by Lakes Area on just the heating unit itself was 89%! Also, none of the other companies charged me to come out and provide an estimate.

We had them as our only plumber for 15+ years. They used to be great. Until we need an emergency job done on our septic. Not only did they go well over the estimate, but when we'd paid in full the amount agreed upon, and asked for another month to pay the additional $2500. (We had already paid $13,000, 40% due up front) We had to be consistently diligent about getting them out to get the job done before the ground froze. We were not the least bit happy with the mess they left us in, after over charging to begin with.

Cody in Roberts is our go to plumber now.
