Had a problem with a couple of GFI outlets in the kitchen, and Dean came out and took care of it in a half hour. Very nice guy and did a great job at a great price! Thanks!

I used Ouverson to install a new sewer line from my home to the main line per city codes and I was very impressed with Troy and his crew. They were meticulous. They dug a 6x6 hole in my yard and did the installation. When they were done, you could hardly tell. again, very impressed. I can't say enough good about their work.

Calling around for a plumber is never fun and usually means something broke and needs to be replaced, which means $$$$$. Pete at PJS Plumbing will be my first call next time and all the time. I called late Friday needing a hot water replacement and got an estimate from Pete which was considerably less than other places. He called around and got me a water heater for the price he said it would be and it was installed almost by the time I woke up on Tuesday. Its funny that I don't even feel like I spent money, but I saved money compared to the 'other guys' prices. I actually rounded off the price and gave Pete more money. I've already recommended him to a friend. Don't change your phone number, I will be calling to use your services again. But hopefully I wont need to :)

Sometimes in life one finds oneself with a broken water pipe on a Sunday night, in the middle of a pandemic, mere hours before a house inspection that could make or break a sale. Surely, I thought, it would be impossible to find a plumber who would be willing to come on such short notice, who'd have the knowledge and experience to do the job, and who wouldn't charge an absolute fortune.
But as fate would have it, I found Steve @ Hibernian and my plumbing emergency actually turned out to be a positive experience. He clearly knew exactly what he was doing and he had the expertise, equipment, and strength to get the job done well. What's more, he was pleasant, professional, and personable... and he was completely fair in his pricing (even with the circumstances).
I highly recommend Hibernian Plumbing.

My kitchen sink and dishwasher backed up, flooding my kitchen into the basement. Called John's around 1:30 and had someone out by 3:00 same day! I forgot to mention the $15 discount for drain cleaning but price was still reasonable. Excellent service from the rep, thanks! EDIT: they contacted me after seeing my review and are refunding $15! Great customer service!

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 used St. Paul Pipeworks for a leaky shower. I first tried Benjamin Franklin plumbing and they wanted to replace the entire thing for $1000! This was insane so I asked around and got a recommendation for St. Paul Pipeworks. Professional and friendly staff, they were able to fix the leak for ~$300. Will definitely be recommending them to anyone who needs a good, honest plumber in the area.

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.

We live by Minnehaha Creek in a 77 year old house. A couple of days ago our basement started flooding from groundwater after torrential rain during flash flood alerts. The drain was working slowly, but then got clogged with debris and the utility area ended up with about 6 inches of standing water. The water seeped into the finished area and the carpet is toast.
I first called RR and couldn't get a bit of information from them regarding price. I called twice. The wait time was 3-6 hours and I scheduled for that. Then I looked at more reviews and from what I had read from irate clients, it looked like it would be a minimum of $249. Since there was no charge for a service call I kept the appointment, but decided to call someone else. I got an immediate response from my text to Augie's and he said it would be late afternoon and would call when he had a better time frame.
RR came out and from across the room quoted $249. Shocker! I asked why they couldn't tell me that on the phone given that they had the exact same info (my account of the situation) as he and he gave the same reply the phone operators had. We quote by the job and we have to assess onsite. Again, he gave me a quote from across the room. I'm sorry they wasted a trip, but... If I hadn't already called Augie's I probably would have paid it since I wouldn't have known when someone else could come out.
From Augie's website, it looked like it would be $155. About an hour and a half before he came, we had gotten a sump pump and it was working, but not very fast due to limitation of our hose. Augie came in, got straight to work and the water rushed out very rapidly. I took the sump pump to our neighbor and Augie was gone by the time I got back. I, somewhat cautiously, asked my husband how much it had cost. It was $102. $99 for the clean out and $3 for a part. Apparently the charge was for a typical drain.
Wow!! His number is going on the fridge.
I just wish that, given the age of our house, we had done a preventative clean out before the rain. It might have saved the carpet.

If they have a slogan, I don't know it. You don't need to know much more than this, they really work hard to get the job done right. I'll try to spare you from reading the entire review so I'll hit the high points. They cost less than pretty much everyone else. They bring a bunch of cool high tech equipment that must cost a fortune (they can make a high definition video of the inside of your pipes so you can see what's going on for yourself). They bring a good attitude and friendly demeanor. And they really do want to make your drains run as good as new.
The job I called them out for was a last minute oh-boy-I-need-an-inspection-now kind of situation. Jake came right out and was happy to let me watch what he was doing and explained what was going on. By the way, my house is OLD! Jake had to break a clog in a pipe that was like cement. After much effort he couldn't wash out the scale that was produced. He told me I could leave it that way, it may run out in time, but that I should really have the pipes hydro-jetted. I had been watching the images from the camera in the pipe so I knew he wasn't trying to sell me something I didn't need. There was a lot of scale in there!
Alex came out 2 days later for the jetting. He worked for a long time trying to get everything out of the lines but was having trouble with our unique sewer setup. In the end, he had to come back. Together with the boss, they got the job done. They also were able to give me a lot of information about my sewer lines. Information that was not all good, but it is better to know ahead of time so I can plan for the future. Remember, this is an old house with nearly 80 year old pipes.
In the end these guys did an excellent job dealing with a far more complicated system than they expected. I was around to see a lot of the work they did and to hear them discuss a lot of the situation. It is apparent that they truly cared about how well they got the job done at my house and they have an honest culture of interest in knowing what is going on under every house in which they work.
One last thing, no amount of chemical drain cleaner will do what these guys can do with a real drain snake and a hydro jet. When I think about how much I use the drains in my house and how important it is for them to work correctly, it's a no brainer to call them out when things aren't going down the way they should.

Great service--friendly professional and quick. Bathroom faucet quickly installed.
99 5th Ave NW, Ste 200, New Brighton, MN 55112
The friendly service person arrived promptly, masked, etc. for Covid which was reassuring. He tried to clear my drain but was not successful and suspected the clog was beyond the 50 feet his reemer could reach (I have VERY long drain pipe). He suggested that he return and pressure wash the pipe which would cost in total around $900 and then suggested that the pipe would need to be replaced (it's imbedded in the concrete floor) which would run about $11,000. None of this was high pressure sales talk - just options.
I phoned another company which came out with a 75 foot reemer and succeeded in clearing the drain pipe.
I also read up on replacing galvanized pipe in concrete flooring. It sounds like old pipe can simply be abandoned and new drain pipe put in behind a baseboard or somewhere hidden but not imbedded in the floor. MUCH LESS COSTLY.

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.

In a pinch, they have always come through for me. I consider them to be fair and honest. Their customer service is excellent and so easy to contact through emails or phone. Would highly recommend.

Ran into a bind with clients of mine closing on a property and needed a plumber over to the house they were buying ASAP. Called them and they had a plumber over there within 30 minutes and fixed the issue. Great communication and very easy to work wiht. Highly recommended!

I called them after seeing an ad on TV for fixing an outlet during the holidays. They aren't service today, they came over a week later and arrived very late. After a lot of messing around and talk about diagnostics my Xmas tree no longer lit up and I had people coming over the next day! They said they would be back the next Friday but were again running late and wanted to reschedule. They said they had ordered something to fix my tree lights but it arrived after Xmas. It felt like the ad on TV was bait and switch. They never made good on any offer and I would NEVER recommend them.
South Saint Paul, MN 55075
Called to have a/c serviced at 1:30 pm on Friday of a holiday weekend. We were amazed to have a tech at our house within 1h30 as we fully expected to schedule for the following week. Courteous and knowledgable, the tech not only got our a/c up and running but also spotted and fixed a gas leak we didn't know we had! So glad we called! We will definitely use them again, and highly recommend to those looking for professional, no-hassle service.

Everyone makes mistakes and accidents happen. It's part of life.
However, when a company repeatedly makes blunders which cost you money and then refuses to make it right, that's just bad business. Personally, I had to take vacation time over six days and spend an additional $700 too because of their errors.
My wife and I built a new home last year with Sabre as the HVAC and plumbing contractor, and we've had an incredible amount of trouble with their quality, craftsmanship and customer service.
Here's is a quick rundown of the trouble we've had with Sabre:
-The technicians at Sabre installed our HVAC system wrongly causing cold winter air to be forced into the house instead of passing through the furnace. This caused our winter heating bill to be $100-$150 more than the average for the winter months. It was eventually fixed, but in the end, their mistakes cost me money.
-Because of the issues with the HVAC system would couldn't use our lower level during the winter. The temperature rarely crept above 60 degrees. At night, the temperature rarely got above 55 degrees, despite our thermostat set at 70 degrees. The problem was eventually resolved, but it took over three months and six service visits to get it done.
-Our 2 Zone HVAC system and thermostats were wired backward. The heat control on the thermostat was wired to the AC system, meaning the AC would turn on when the heat was supposed to. This meant we were greeted by a blast of cold air when the heat was supposed to turn on. This should have been found during inspection but was not. Again, Sabre had to send someone out.
-Technicians had to come to our home six times over two months to fix the problems above. Yes, you read that correctly SIX TIMES. This forced me to take unnecessary time off and lose even more money. You know it's ridiculous when you are on a first name basis with the technicians.
-Finally, we had a natural gas line installed during the building process. I spoke with a rep from Sabre and was quoted over the phone $292 for the job. To my surprise, I received a bill for $550 after it was installed. This price was never agreed upon at any point. I would have paid the bill without much thought, but because we had so much trouble, I was extremely annoyed. I paid the bill, but the company should have compensated us.
Save yourself the trouble and take your business elsewhere.

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.
