Best Sink Repair in Minneapolis MN

I finally got around to getting the living room electrical issue addressed. The cats had a huge fight some time ago, and I'd lost power to 3/4 of the room. Because I figured that it was going to be a pretty spendy proposition, I hemmed and hawed about it.

When I finally broke down to address it, I used the Yelp Get-A-Quote feature to find reputable companies to get the job done.

Erickson was one of the responding companies. They were not the company who promised me the cheapest rates. Their contact was professional and friendly. After giving my phone number, I was called by a young lady who asked me to return the call if I was interested in having them work on my home (I was in my 10,000th Zoom meeting at the time of the call).

I called back and was asked a few more questions about the issue and I explained that I believed that one outlet was the source of the problem and that fixing it would end all the other problems. I was told that they bill for time and materials and that the cost would be around $200, depending upon the amount of time the electrician would be working. This was in line with the research I'd done on outlet replacement costs.

I took a deep breath and accepted the time slot of 7:30 - 9:30 Thursday. This was a quicker time than some of the other companies had available, and I didn't want to wait any longer.

Dean was right on time and got right to work inspecting what needed to be done. We chatted a bit as he was preparing to get into the outlet. I showed him down to the basement to ensure that the circuit was off. He'd mentioned several things about the wiring and such while down there. I've made mental notes of them. Before going down, he tried to use a device that would read the current but couldn't get it into the outlet (it was pretty melted).

After taking apart the outlet, which was very crispy, he explained that the problem was the wiring in the outlet itself and that my cats fighting didn't cause the overload. It was a fire waiting to happen. I wasn't happy to hear that, as I've now got concerns about all the other outlets in the house.

It didn't take him any time at all to switch out and correctly rewire the new outlet. This was probably the best $205 I've spent on the house thus far.

Dean was friendly, professional, and fast. I'm feeling quite happy that Yelp has helped me go three for three with service professionals coming to work on things in my home. I know that I'll be calling Erickson for anything that comes up in the future.

Our pipe was leaking through the top floor bathroom and into our office area on the first floor. We needed emergency services and Hibernian was there. He showed up on time, had the right PVC piping to solve the problem, and fixed our issue. He was engaging and so helpful! The price was much less than anticipated. He saved our 4th of July weekend! Amazing professionalism, fun conversation, and our new go to plumber! Will be recommending him to all our friends!

We needed two gas lines installed and we thought the quote was extremely high from another company. We contacted Pat and he came right out for an estimate and was extremely reasonable, easy to work with, and FAST. Bonus was he was able to work in the evenings so we did not have to take vacation from work. We will definitely be calling him again for any plumbing needs.

I called Chris as well as 6 other plumbers on a Sunday and he was the only one who called me back within 10 minutes.   He came within 90 minutes and was extremely thorough.  I felt his prices were fair, especially given it was a weekend.  I would highly recommend him for any plumbing job you need.

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!

I wanted my toilet replaced urgently and Roman helped with this. He is very prompt in his response (I originally hired Home Depot Installation service but have not heard from them yet to arrange for the appt)
He is extremely good in his job and very detailed and meticulous. He made sure that your house is as clean after he leaves.  Very professional!

On short notice, Joe made time in his schedule to come out and diagnose my plumbing issue.  He gave me a fair price and an honest assessment, connecting me with the crew needed to to the job.  I absolutely recommend Joe and would hire him again.

Great service--friendly professional and quick.  Bathroom faucet quickly installed.

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.

My son has just moved to an older unit in St. Paul.  He is a student at Hamline University so I am here from California helping him move in and get settled.

We arrived to find that the bathroom needed way more work than my son described in his short visit before moving in.  When we turned on the shower the faucets almost came out of the wall due to a cheaply done make over and old old plumbing.  There isn't enough water pressure to bathe an ant.  The situation was so bad that we had to say in a hotel one night so we could both take a shower and clean up after two days of moving.

This morning Erik Brue came from Plumb Right to help assess the situation and make realistic recommendations for repairs an or replacements.  

Erik went above and beyond.  he gave me two separate estimates to present to the landlord.  One to try and repair and one to realistically redo the plumbing and shower area.  His estimates were extremely reasonable and he was able to even show me photos of other installs he has done which look fabulous.  He also mentioned that this work could be completed by several installers on one day which is a huge plus since my son is a full-time student with limited free time.

I feel much calmer now and am equipped with the proper information to share with the landlord to get my son's bath room livable before I return to  California to thaw out.

It is very intimidating being in anew area and having to rely on recommendations from unknown sources.  Home Advisor recommended Erik and Plumb Right and really saved the day!!!!!

By far one of the best companies we have used. Friendly, professional, and quick. Emphasis on affordable! We won't even consider anyone else. They came out the same day we called and we're done in an hour.  They explained everything and how it worked and gave us a ton of pointers. Very polite, professional, and thorough work.

I woke up on a Wednesday morning, walked down through my basement to leave for work and came upon a mess. Our sewer line backed up, as a new home owner, I searched for an answer on why our floor drain was backing up. Unfortunately, from my findings, it was the main sewer line. I searched yelp, for different plumbers, based on reviews and price, made a list and called around. Augie was on my list, not only was he the most economical for our budget, but was able to come out that day. Super nice guy, who knows what he is doing. He was unable to fix the issue completely, due to previous owners neglect in cleaning out the lines, under the giant trees they had planted...let's just say genius!

Anyhow, Augie worked with me and recommended a company to come and dig the line outside to fix the problem. His recommendations also checked out. I ended up working with the recommendation after calling around and reviewing the city of Minneapolis list, they were recommended on there too.  I am completely satisfied with Augie and Ouverson and will take their advice in the future to make sure lines are cleaned out regularly and do an inspection when buying a house. It would have saved us a lot of money!

Highly recommend working with Augie, he will be our guy for our yearly cleaning in the future, since we have some giant trees sitting onto of our sewer lines!

We called Aarts and Tims for a running toilet.  The tech came out the same day to repair.  However, after replacing a part that didn't solve the problem - We were still charged for the service call. When we told them the problem was not fixed we had a second visit by another plumber from Aarts and Tims who said we needed to replace the whole toilet unit.  This visit was again charged for parts and labor.  They said they were giving us a discount for the first call, but why were we charged at all when the problem was NOT fixed during that call.  Not happy with these service charges.

Extremely overpriced
Charged 660 $$ to find short circuit in one of the smoke detectors.
Spent lot of time trying to sell smoke detector, redoing all connections,  whole house diagnostics,  and did not check all outlets for voltage drop
Probably diagnosed the problem with level 1 but did level 3 and charged $660 for the work
Actual work done tightened the smoke alarm wire
Installed back all 6 smoke detectors, the alarm went off again so figured which one was the faulty one by elimination method removing one smoke detector at a time
Actual work time 1 to 1.5 hr max but spent 3 hours,  50 % time spent on
came in for diagnostics and then flip saying he couldn't find any so had to upgrade to level 3 costing 660
They never said this over the phone

They lie. do not use them. They employ Bait and switch tactics.

Would not recommend this company to even my worst Enemy.   They are nothing more than rip off artist.  Had a technician (used VERY loosely) come out and explain that our a/c unit was going to need some major parts replaced at an exorbitant amount of money $3000 or in his opinion to just replace the whole system for a mere $1000 more.   Happen to get a second opinion on the matter and low and behold for less than the cost of these con-artists to come out and describe all the things wrong with my a/c unit we are up and running cool and comfortable.  I did contact Alex and then also spoke to Greg to allow them to make this right.  They chose not to even attempt to make this right.  I would RUN from this company there are so many more out there that are better and that are actually TRUSTWORTHY.   They will belittle you, talk down to you and this basically explains how they do business.

Before I begin, I want to say that I have a unique situation. When my house was built (far before I bought it) they decided not to make room for a furnace inside the house. Instead, they opted to go with a furnace/air conditioner combo unit on the outside of the house.

My existing combo unit died in 2013. I hired Sabre Heating & Plumbing to install a new unit. On the installation day (Friday, December 20, 2013), I should have realized that Sabre was not the company I should have gone with. I was at work when they installed it. When I returned home, I tried to turn on the furnace but it would not turn on. I decided to look around the new unit to see if there was a power switch or button. I couldn't find one but instead found a pair of fuses just sitting on top of the unit and two wires coming out of the ground, neither attached to anything (see included images). I told them what I saw and the next day they came out and fixed it. Strangely, I did not see the fuses or wires poking out of the ground later.

To protect my investment, I signed up for their Sabre Blue Maintenance Plan. For $300/year, a technician would come out twice a year to make sure the unit was running correctly. For the first few years, everything seemed to be working just fine. I believed that when they came out for the biannual checkup that they were doing a thorough inspection of the unit. Also, since there were different technicians who came out over the years, if one technician missed something then the next one would probably catch it (or so I thought).

Things started to go wrong in the summer of 2018. At the beginning of August 2018, the air conditioner was not cooling my house so I had them come out. I looked back in my email and all I could find was a charge for $106.25. I don't delete emails so I was surprised to find no work order. On 8/16/2018, there was another charge for $108.00 to replace an ARMOD. On 10/11/2018, again my combo unit was having issues and I was charged another $125.00 for a trip fee. Next year on 8/22/2019, I again needed them to come out and repair my unit. This time at $234.00 and again with no work order so that I could not trace back what they did. One month later on 9/20/2019 they had to come out again. This time to replace the TXV at $433.89. The sheer number of issues with my unit should lead me to believe that these $300/year biannual checkups were either not being done or being done by untrained technicians.

This leads to the most recent issue. On 2/4/2020, I noticed my furnace making a loud whirring noise. On the following day, it stopped producing heat. The technician who came out replaced the inducer motor. I asked what I could do to prevent this going forward and he told me that sometimes they just seize up. He got the furnace working but I noticed that there was barely any air pressure coming out of the vents. I was happy the furnace was working so I just let it run for the night. I woke up cold at 3:00 am and saw that the temperature in my house was 56 degrees. I called Sabre again the next day and informed them that the furnace would run for 20 minutes and then shut off. They sent a different technician the following day. After working on it for a number of hours the technician told me that furnace was overheating and that a safety switch was turning it off. I asked him what could be causing it to overheat and he replied: I don't know. He told me that he would increase the high limit so that the overheating would not shut off the furnace. I didn't like this answer so, for the first time, I decided to call another HVAC company, Blue Ox. Within 20 minutes the Blue Ox technician discovered that the evaporator coil was completely blocked by dirt and dust. The reason why it was overheating was that no air was coming through the intake and the motor was trying extra hard to suck in air. In addition to this, the Blue Ox technician noticed that the exhaust vent was still taped inside the furnace where the evaporator coil was. The Sabre technicians who installed the furnace didn't know or even bother to inspect the unit after they had installed it (hence the random fuses and bare wires). Since this exhaust vent had been in there since the installation, it meant that no Sabre technicians had bothered to look at the evaporator coil, not on the numerous times they came out to fix the unit or on the many biannual checkups. In addition, these experts rarely offered solutions and were not even curious as to what the underlying issues were. This makes me believe that they are either severely under-trained, extremely lazy, or unethical. Any way you cut it, it is a good reason to go with someone besides Sabre.

Racist. Don't waste your time and money.

Btw Clint, although we may not be of the same color or decent as you, our money are the same color and have the same value. Your lost!

I had the opposite experience of Greg M.  My plumbing problem wasn't major but it made me nervous & I wanted to get it taken care of ASAP.  I made a couple of phone calls-didn't get hold of anyone at the first, the second couldn't come out til the next day & was nice enough to refer me to Richfield Plumbing.  The person answering the phone had a good idea of my problem & set me up with Brian.  He called an hour later; an hour after that, problem was solved.  I was very pleased with the rapid service & felt that the price was reasonable for the job.

They have an online scheduling system, which I used, but they never showed up. I got confirmation emails and texts, even reminder texts. But no show, no call, no nothing.

Don't waste your time with this company.  I needed to replace an A/C unit and was also interested in potentially replacing my furnace.  I scheduled an appointment to get a quote for the project.  Dean's can only provide a 4 hour window.  They did not show the first day and bumped me to the next day.  The next day they were also a no show and wanted to bump me once again.  I wouldn't recommend doing business with any company that cannot meet their promises to customers.  I learned from the company that they prioritize existing customers over new customers and will bump them from the schedule even if they have made a commitment to them.  I wouldn't trust any company that doesn't keep their word.
