Best Lighting Installation in Minneapolis MN

This was a good experience. The guy who came (Joe) was really a super guy and he did a good job. Cleaned up after himself and explained everything he did. I need a reliable plumber in the rolodex and I will call this company again. The price seemed fair for the work he did and better quote than I got somewhere else.

Our dishwasher needed to be anchored and Tyler got to our home on time and was very pleasant and did a quick and efficient. Would highly recommend him and use him again!

This company attempts to take advantage of the elderly. They gave my parents a quote for almost 6k for a new ac unit. They told them it was shot because of mouse problems. They called another company and they repaired it for $140.00. Do not call these incompetent fools for any reason. The friendly voice when you initially call is a con that will cost you a fortune. Heed my warning! You will forever regret this mistake.

Great company!  They did a thorough job in looking at our furnace.  Our rep Dalton was great.  He had great knowledge of the furnace and explained all of our options for future fixes answering all of my questions.  There wasn't any pressure to incur the cost right then and there to fix some items that were showing wear.  He provided options and cost to fix if we wanted to down the road.  I was extremely pleased with this company.

DONT USE THIS COMPANY UNLESS YOU HAVE $$ TO THROW AWAY!! Had to have a shut off valve looked at on my bathroom sink water line because I couldn't  stop the leak. I replaced it myself and have done these before. But for some reason this new one I could not get to stop leaking. I gave up and called Service Today. They said it was going to be a $79 service charge to come out. I agreed and they came out the next day. He was able to fix the leak and took him all of 15-20 minutes. He put on his own valve and tightened it a lot harder than I may have done because I was told not to over tighten. Looks like you can tighten these pretty good. So the leak has stopped and I was charged $442.00. I agreed to the price because I needed my water turned back on. But are you kidding me???   $442 for a 15 minute job and a $10 part!!! Think about that before using this company.

$6,300 for a residential water heater? I don't think so! Avoid this rip-off company.

The tankless water heater Dean's insisted we needed (because it was going to be challenging to vent a standard one the way our old water heater was vented) was going to cost us $5,994. The highest price we could find online for the same model is $1,600 from plumbing supply stores. When we realized the big price discrepancy, we asked for a breakdown of Dean's $5,994 price for the water heater. They said they can't provide that information. After 5 minutes of research, we suspected we were getting totally ripped off.

We cancelled our install appointment immediately and contacted a couple other local licensed home services companies for estimates. Both came out and spent time looking at our basement and venting. Both said Dean's was ripping us off, and we don't even need a tankless water heater as there is no issue with the venting. We got a power vent water heater installed for $2,500 ($4,000 LESS than what Dean's was going to charge us! Even if we had needed a tankless, why were they charging several thousand $ more than it costs?)

Sadly, we still paid Dean's $1,000 for the four hours they spent seeing if a new thermal couple would fix old water heater and eventually giving us their ripoff estimate. We still came out ahead by almost $3,000 by going with someone else.

In addition to price, the other part of the experience that was noticeably different with Dean's was how slick and salesy it felt compared to the other home services companies.

I would never recommend Scott Ferrell of Lakes Area Home Improvement to anyone. He is dishonest, combative and treats his customers with zero respect - especially female clients. If a project doesn't go smoothly or needs to be fixed, you can be certain it was your fault. And you'll pay to have it fixed. His excuses are the same with every customer. Be prepared for an astronomical bill that is he unwilling to explain and demands for immediate payment - or you'll be stuck with his endless harassment, name-calling and threats. Truly despicable business conduct. There are so many honest, excellent tradesmen in Minneapolis. Avoid this one.

Called on a Friday AM because we had water running leaking through the finished basement ceiling - the person who answered the phone was very professional and nice, but said the soonest they could send someone was Monday AM. I explained the water was literally running through the ceiling and we couldn't let that continue all weekend - she simply repeated that they could come Monday between 7 and 11am. They never even offered suggestions for shutting the water down to stop the leak until someone could get there. I called McQuillan Brothers and they had someone out within 1.5 hours. I won't be calling Uptown again!
