Best Emergency Services in Minneapolis MN
Marvel responded to my request immediately, gave me a quote and scheduled an appointment all on the same call. He promptly showed up the next day, fixed the issue for the originally quoted price. I'm extremely happy with the service I received and will call them again in the future.

We bought an 85-year-old house and that means one thing - galvanized pipes. Otherwise known as swiss cheese, aka, going to leak and burst whenever I feel like it, aka, go ahead you cheapo and roll the dice and not replace me.
I know a plumber back east and he told get rid of the galvi ASAP. Um, ok. So I called a few plumbers. Some were really cheap, like do the math and you wonder it takes X days and Y material, how do you stay in business? Another big shop in town was very expensive and seemed like they were adding little things here and there to the estimate.
Erickson's guy, Mike, was very nice and was thorough and was clear on not needing things that the other high-priced shop proposed. He explained the residential codes to me and why I did not need certain things. He did preface that this was not going to be cheap. He walked through all the things that needed to be done and how long it took and I realized that this was going to take several days of someone working all day and knocking out walls and ceilings. This was a big project.
Their estimate was expensive, but still about 15% lower than one of the other big guys in town. But, I got a good feeling about them. So I gave Erickson the work.
They came in an installed pex and ripped out all the galvanized across 3 floors of my house. They did an excellent job and would not hesitate having them back in the future.

Mike responded quickly and we set up a time to clear roots from my sewer main line. He was very open to working around our schedule, which was great because the house was being renovated. He was reasonably priced and worked quickly and efficiently. Couldn't ask for more! Thanks!

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!

Our kitchen sink is over 50 feet from the main drain. It will get a clog near the end on occasion. Tried a gallon of drain cleaner but no luck. Called John's and got an appointment right away. The plumber came on time and snaked out the drain in short order. And get this..... It was over $200 less than the last company that did the same job!! Really happy! We will use them again!

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.
Carver, MN 55315
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.

Finally had enough of the shower turning into a bath mid-way through washing my hair, and decided that something must be done. One week and a failed experiment in DIY plumbing later, I decided that something ELSE must be done, and that it would involve a professional.
Google brought me to Augie. His website was informative and, given the option, I'll usually go with a local small business. However, when I called, the recording on the other end of the line told me he was away fulfilling his obligation with the National Guard. I certainly couldn't fault him for that, but the clog had only been getting worse, and this could not wait. Dejectedly, I called a big chain drain-cleaning company, navigated the phone tree, and got put on hold twice, when a familiar number popped back up on my screen--Auggie called me back. He was free. He wanted to clean my drain. Things were starting to turn around.
He showed up promptly, right when he said he would, even though it was the weekend. Super-friendly. He quickly diagnosed and solved the problem, even with my old pipes, even though I had the type of trap he was hoping I didn't. He even gave me some advise about insulting my pipes and whatnot. Nice guy. Doesn't take credit cards. No big deal.
In conclusion: An absolute pleasure to do business with.

Tyler is personable, responsive and got the work done in a timely manner. I look forward to hiring him again in the future!

So grateful for Roman answering his phone at 640 am and getting to my house by 740 as we had an unidentified water problem in our basement. He took care of it and no issues! Very professional, expedient and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend him and use him again.
Minneapolis, MN
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.

They charge more than most attorneys. 600.00 dollars for 30 minutes. Joke. Coupons ya right. They just raise there quote to cover the coupon.

We had a leaky tub faucet and were quoted $700 by a different business to fix it, and they didn't have the parts to fix it that day. We called A Art's and their plumber (I think his name was Lonn) came out the next day. He had the parts needed to fix it on his truck and completed the work for $200 less than the other plumber! He was professional, prompt and did great work. We were extremely happy with the quality and price of the repairs and would definitely recommend this business.
Minneapolis, MN
I've used this company twice. Once to replace a faucet in my kitchen and second to replace a water heater. Both times they were on-time, courteous and offered a great price for the work/equipment they provided. We got a second quote on the water heater replacement and the difference in price was over $1,000. Highly recommend this company!
578 Silver Lake Rd, New Brighton, MN 55112
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.

Addendum to 1/4/2022 review
We had to hire another electrician to fix our bathroom fan issues. Turns out that the fan was never connected to the new venting that Service Today installed. Infact, none of the venting was attached to anything, it was just laying flat in the attic, not even attached to the new bathroom fan. Also, we discovered that Meghan H., the Service Today installer left open, live wires in the attic. We could easily have had an attic fire. After checking her Meghan H business card, it states she is an electrical technician so I believe she is not a licensed electrician but working under the Service Today license. The new electrician asked Was this work done by a licensed electrician? My answer was I thought it was. Now I'm thinking maybe not. Thank goodness we had it checked by a reputable electrician. Again, Run, Run, Run as fast as you can away from Service Today. I am ashamed to say I hired these people without doing better research!!

Full disclosure Sabre advertises on our podcast and that's one of the reasons we started using them. Our previous hvac co couldn't figure out what was wrong with our furnace and kept wanting to put in s new system. Sabre fixed our furnace and we didn't have to install a new system! They do a great job and come out promptly. Highly recommend.

Made an appointment and got a confirmation email and text. Then a reminder email and text the day of the appointmen. Waited around for 2 hours just in case they were running way behind, never showed up or got a phone call. Decided to do the same and go with someone else.

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!!!

Overly aggressive and dishonest sales person (Ray R), poor quality installation of my hvac that left the gas line obstructing the bottom panel so it can't be fully serviced without removing the gas line, overcharged thousands of dollars for the lowest quality product. Avoid Dean's, I'd give them less than 1 star if that was an option.
Edit: they responded to my google review and asked me to call them but all they did was waste more of my time. After telling me they were unable to pull up the pricing information for the hvac unit they sold me they assured me they gave me a fair price but the exact same units are available at retail prices, including delivery, for many thousands of dollars less than I was charged even including the discounts I was offered. Do not hire Dean's, they will take advantage of you and then pretend to care about your concerns while giving you the run around.
