Best Water Heater Installation in Minneapolis MN

We bought a house knowing that the outlets needed to be grounded. I scheduled a time for someone to come take a look and give us a free estimate. Joe arrived and I told him what we wanted done and he did a very thorough job walking through the house, checking outlets, and explaining things. It took some time before we had the finances to schedule the actual work, but I was pleasantly surprised to find they were able to get us on the schedule within 8 days from my calling to schedule. I was also happy that Joe was able to come back to do the installation as he already knew what we were working with. The job ended up taking  slightly longer than expected because of some faulty wiring in the house, but Joe was sure to check in when his estimated time was up and give a progress report and make sure I was okay with him continuing work. The total cost ended up being almost spot on with the estimate. I really appreciate the thoroughness of Joe's work and will certainly be reaching out to Erickson to schedule future projects.

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!

Messaged John's on Yelp on a Sunday night as I had a clog in my main line and needed a clean out. Someone on the other end responded within 10 minutes with an up-front quote on what they thought I would need. Shopped around a little and found this price to be a good value. I called Monday morning and they had someone out here about an hour later. The technician was professional and was committed to doing a great job. He quickly found the clog and broke through it. While he could have stopped at that point, he kept going through the clog multiple times to get it cleaned up the best he could. I would call John's again in a pinch.

Our Kitchen faucet recently broke and needed to be replaced.  After trying to remove it myself, I couldn't get it out so I called another plumbing company to come out and do the work.  Not only did they try to up-sell several different fixes / services, but their estimate was well over $1,000 because they insisted that the valves needed to be replaced before they would change out the faucet.

I called BP Mechanical after telling the other company to get out and Kirsten in the office worked their schedule out so that they could be there the same day.  Both Pat and Kirsten were very friendly and easy to work with and had the job done in less than an hour!   Their rate was 1/10th of what the other company quoted me for the same amount of work.  Knowing that someone like them is in the same city as I am and VERY reliable, I will never call anyone else for any plumbing needs going forward.

I have (yes, present tense) an issue the pipe from the toilet leaking in the basement due to an incorrect / misaligned fitting.  It's causing toilet water (yuck) to get all over the basement.  I noticed this problem on a Sunday afternoon and was pleased to see that Roto-Rooter is open on Sundays.

I called, a dispatcher answered, I described my problem, and she told me the tech would arrive between 4pm-7pm the same day (Sunday).  Perfect.  The dispatcher called around 4pm to let me know the technician was on the way for my floor drain backup (not the problem).  I corrected her and described the problem again.

The technician arrived at around 4:30pm, took one look at the pipe coming down from the toilet, and said, Why did they send me for this?  This isn't what I thought it was.  I don't have parts for this.  They need to listen better.  SERIOUSLY!?!  He then said, Maybe they just wanted to make you happy and send someone out here today.  Well, why would it make me happy if I still have plumbing issues???

He called dispatch himself and described the problem again (the same way I did, for the record), and gave me a new window of Monday from 8am-10am for another tech to come out.  I would have to miss work to wait around for someone to show up, but ok, I figured I'd give them another shot.

I realized I never asked for an estimate, so I called later that evening and was told that they don't give estimates over the phone.  Not even their base price for having to come out here.  I was assured that I could just tell the technician that I didn't want the service if the price didn't work for me.  That seemed a little weird to me.

Monday morning, after rescheduling work meetings so I could stay home and wait... I get a call at 9am telling me that the techs are running late.  I asked how long it would be until they arrived and they said they would still be 1.5-2 hours out.  I have to get back to work, so I can't stick around and wait.  I just can't believe that I would be having to make a THIRD appointment with them at this point.  I guess I'm glad they called and didn't leave me in the lurch, but my problem still isn't fixed.

I can't testify to the quality of their work, but I don't think I'll be calling them again.

We have used Weld and Sons on three occasions over the past 3-4 years and there's good reason why we trust them.
We like their up front pricing structure and they have always billed either at or under the estimated cost. No surprise bill at the end of the job. Additionally, their workers are friendly and on time. We will always call Weld and Sons and have referred family and friends to them with the highest recommendation.

I've used Pete to help me finish my basement bathroom as well as a bonus room bath.  I've also given his name to many of my friends for their projects such as toilet replacement, leaky faucet repairs, and used him at our place of business (flooring replacements).  Pete always responds and gets the job done when we need him to!

We recently bought our house and were trying to put a vented hood in the kitchen to replace a recycler microwave when the project exploded.  The HVA/C techs recommended Charlie and he showed up within hours for what we thought was going to be a small job of moving one pipe.  He started looking around and discovered that all the plumbing from the second floor bathroom to the basement was not only not to code but also in jeopardy of causing major issues (wrong sized pipes, joints where they shouldn't be, standing water in capped pipes, etc.). Phil stopped by shortly after and took two hours and a lot of running up and down stairs to diagnose the job and give us a comprehensive scope of repairs he would propose.  It really made me feel like he was taking the time to get it right and solve the whole situation instead of just a symptom of a problem.

We had one price and only one price due to their thorough diagnosis - the quoted price and time was spot on.  Phil scheduled us in and came back for an 8 hour installation and fix.  When it looked like he may not make it solo in the 8 hours he promised, he called in backup and it didn't cost us more or extend the job.

The best part and the reason I will forever recommend this group as well as have them back for all my plumbing needs is their incredible follow up. Phil worked with me to identify when the inspector could come out and close the job so we didn't have to make extra phone calls or deal with the city at all.  A few days before the inspection, we found out that the previous owners had kindly left us with an open plumbing permit from a totally different company.  That company told me to just work it out with the inspector and luckily, the inspector said he was willing to tag it onto his already scheduled visit.  Phil showed up early and had already talked to the inspector that day and heard about the other permit.  He set up the house to facilitate the inspector's visit and asked me about the other permit.  He took the time to check out the work and asked great questions to understand the mechanics of the house.  When the inspector showed up, Phil talked him through all his work step-by-step and walked him through the work the other company did!

For all that work, the inspector was maybe in the house for 10 minutes because of Phil's prep work and passion for his job.  He put everything back and was out the door (he spent all this time and attention on our house on a Friday even though he had plans to go out of town with his family- when I found out, I forced him out and promised to do the final touches of clean up myself I was so impressed with his commitment!).  

St. Paul Pipeworks cares about every job they do and the people they help.  Their commitment shows when they send thank you cards and remember you with a card on the holidays.  It seems like a small thing but it sure doesn't make you feel like a number.  Charlie's commitment is best summarized in his statement to us, Plumbing should last longer than any of us so I plan to do my job so well, I won't see you again for this work.  All the more reason that when the rest of the house gets remodeled, Charlie and Phil are the only plumbers I will allow through the front door.

Fair warning: Charlie and Phil may not be the cheapest bid you could get but would you rather save money and have a headache with permits and poor workmanship or spend a little extra with a company that takes great pride in their work and is committed to making your experience as wonderful and stress free as possible?  I am more than willing to spend a little more now and call St Paul Pipeworks first than call them second after the first company screws up and I now have to pay for the work twice!

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.

Chris was Great, very polite and great with my big scary dog. She can be a bit intimidating and he took it in stride like a champ. Did the work, cleaned up the mess and gave me advice on avoiding issues in the future. Greatly appreciated and recommended! Thank You Chris and Discount Plumbing and Drains!

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.

TLDR: Fair estimate (based on multiple estimates), efficient, got the job done, and answered long lost of questions with helpful info.

Water heater leaked and Devon came out for free estimate and was straight forward with what needed to be done while providing a fair quote. Provided answers to all additional questions while recommending a restoration service to handle the flooded carpet.  Matthew did a great job of performing the work the next day. Very efficient service as needed with a busted water heater. Even corrected the water softener fittings that needed additional service.

Joe from Augie's was friendly, professional, explanatory, and tolerant of my need to hover and ask a thousand questions.  He was in and out in under 30 minutes and my drains have never drained better.  They were upfront about pricing and a pleasure to do business with.  

Joe also recommended additional services without creating the impression he was trying to sell me.  And, when he was all done, he cleaned my floors and my bathtub, assuring me at every step that he'd leave it clean!  I will certainly be calling Augie's when it's time to perform my full sewer service!

A Art's Quality Plumbing is very customer centric. They have done several plumbing jobs for me including installation of a ice machine, numerous clogs toilets, reconfigured plumbing and installed a garbage disposal. They always answer the phone and respond quickly.
  Recently my daughter had a clogged toilet at her apartment. We called a Art's Plumbing and they arrived within hours. She cannot say enough good things about John. He was in and out in 15 minutes.
   Plumbing always seems expensive, but A Art's Quality Plumbing their pricing seems fair. This is the plumber for all of your plumbing needs.

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.

Yeah, not a good company to do business with. Called to get some heating work done. Bad customer service. System stopped working immediately. Called back and didn't hear back for two weeks. Still haven't received a refund for the shoddy work.

Needed some plumbing work done on the shower and had no water in the entire house due to no shutoff valve. I called SNS in the morning and was told I would be contacted by someone. Three hours later I called back after not hearing from anyone and was told someone would call me in fifteen minutes. Two hours later I called for the third time and said I still had not heard back. I was told that it would be mentioned I had called three times and someone would get back to me. No one ever called to see if they could help. I had read good reviews on this company but did not have a good experience on my first attempt.

I have a Price Pfister pull out kitchen faucet (2 yrs old) that developed a leak in the sprayer and/or sprayer hose. I contacted PP and they sent a new hose and sprayer (in 8 days), no charge. After looking at a number of videos on how to install the new hose, I tried it myself but I didn't have the grip strength to complete the job. Since I had a coupon from Ben Franklin ($73 off), I called and explained the problem. The cust. rep. said there is an $89 service trip charge - in addition to any work done. I told her I had the coupon and asked if it applied to the service trip charge. She said yes, so I set up an appointment for 2 days later. The plumber rep, Matthew, arrived five minutes before the end of the schedule period, which was no problem. Matthew was very cordial and discussed a couple of ways to solve the leak (either replacing the hose, which PP had already provided) or replacing the O ring in the sprayer (with the O ring that PP had already provided). I said OK, how much. Matthew showed me the BF price sheet. My jaw dropped. The lowest price was $225. The repair would take less than 5 minutes! Really? REALLY? I said NO. Then I said I have a coupon that the scheduler said I could apply to the $89 service trip charge. Matthew said that coupon only applies if work is done. He said, no problem, all phone calls are recorded; so he called the scheduler. She played the recording, and yes, I was right. I had indeed said so the coupon is applied to the service call charge? Rep said yes, according to the coupon details. Yay! No...wait. In very small print that I needed my readers to see, it states not valid with any other offer or toward trip fee. Damm. So I paid the $89 and chalked it up to experience. (I asked Matthew what he would charge to install a new faucet...$350 - not including the faucet. BTW, he recommended Delta Faucets.) My advice: find an independent licensed plumber (recommended by someone you trust) and get the prices in advance. Not Ben Franklin! (The real Ben Franklin is probably raising his bushy eyebrows and saying Whaaaa?)

Was terrible, from not showing up first day to being late .. He knew I had a home warranty, they were the ones that found him.  He knew the rules.
This process took over a month to get resolved, He finally came out to the house and told me I had 3 leaks under my kitchen sink.  After numerous attempts from myself and the home warranty to get the $$ for fixing the problems he finally came back with a cost of:
$717 for the kitchen faucet (I told him no, I bought one myself and had it installed)
$225.00 garbage disposal
$184.00 old garbage disposal (I could of thrown this away myself after looking at the invoice)
$115.00 piping repair.
The day the problems were corrected he told me to pay bill in full and that he wasn't dealing with the home warranty company and that if I didn't pay him he was charging me an additional $160 per hour. I paid him as I wanted them out of my house.  All this took place while I had the home warranty on the phone explaining to him they would be issuing him a check that very day!  But Jason from Big River Plumbing, didn't care! my after thought were I should of called the police and had them removed from my property.  
Then Jason had the nerve to send me an email thanking me for their business and wished me a 'blessed' day.. Really?!?!?

Save your headaches! this problem took over a month to get resolved.  Don't use them for any projects!!!

Please please please look somewhere else!!! This is a scam business. Had some questions about the electric from an old house that I bought. The guy was trying his hardest to scare me into thinking the house was a ticking time bomb and that any second a fire will start and kill me tenants.... said he recommends a full rewiring.... for, drum roll please, $97,000!!!! For a 2800 square foot house. He told me a light fixture would electrocute anyone you tried to put a light bulb in it.... had another electrician come out. Said the majority of the house had been rewired and that it was done very well. As for the light fixture, the bulb was burnt out and needed to be replaced. We have used it everyday. The new electrician laughed the whole time he was at our place about the 97k and the electrocuting light bulb. This business should be shut down!
