Best Toilet Installation in Minneapolis MN

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!

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.

Needed some help installing a new trap and drain on the kitchen sink. Creative PVC work was definitely the order of the day.

Communication was awesome - Pat described what he would do, when he would show up, and did a fantastic job. Right on time and everything as described.

Professional, neat, and even hooked up the faucet that was my honey-do item for when we had a sink again!

Fantastic job - highly recommend this husband-and-wife team!

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.

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

FAST. RESPONSIVE. PROFESSIONAL. REASONABLE. Roman called right away, gave me an arrival time and estimate. He text me when he was on the way. he did a thorough assessment of my property and performed the work that was necessary. He took notice of other issues but didn't try to convince me to do work that didn't require immediate attention. He was honest and said since the area isn't used there's no need to spend more money than necessary.

I purchased a investment property with a great view of the Mississippi River valley. After the purchase realized quickly I had my work cut out for me, everything that could be wrong with a 140 yr house was seriously in need of repair. Contacted Mark for complete plumbing replacement. He got me a very competitive quote quickly, we agreed and he went to work. We worked through many challenges along the way but he stuck to his quote and finished the job to perfection. I have only one regret, that I have no more plumbing needs at the present time but when I do I will call Mark without hesitation!!! Thank you Focus Plumbing:)

The technician was nice and did not charge us because he could not unclog our sewer main.

He however told us we would need to dig up the front yard and replace a 10 foot section of pipe the NEXT day (or we would have to wait a week), for anywhere between $4200-$6000.  The whole thing felt like high pressure sales and we told him we would wait on that decision.

Got a 2nd opinion the next day from Cardinal plumbers, they were able to drill through the roots and unclog the drain main using sharper, smaller blades.  The price was reasonable and did not include a major dig.  

We might use roto in the future for maintenance root removal, but not for an expert opinion.

Update: Roto-rooter contacted me about this experience with their business and this negative review.

The manager explained that Roto-rooter does not use smaller blades because they can get stuck in the sewer main, which necessitates an excavation.  I can appreciate that is a liability for the company to take on.  

However, in the midst of a sewer main emergency (or any emergency really), the most anyone can hope for is helpful information.  I am more attracted to businesses who give expert advise, EVEN if it means directing me to other, more specialized businesses.  As I was calling around to other plumbers, I was told by 3 companies that if there were roots in the main, they could for sure open the line.  And sure enough they did.

I am leaving this review up because I would like to communicate to people who are looking for information - maybe they are in an emergency situation like we were.

Get a second opinion before you dig.

I called early afternoon to see if someone would be able to come look at a leak in my ceiling I believed to be coming from the upstairs bathroom. I fully expected atleast a few days to be penciled in for an appointment, but they took the details of my situation and my address down, and within an hour told me they were able to send someone out this afternoon. It was a plumber who actually lived down the street from my house and it would be his last job for the day.

He was extremely professional, gave me a step by step
of what his plan was, removed my leak and fixed up a shotty job a contractor had done to the toilet all less than 2 hours. Very reasonably priced! Would absolutely recommend.

I seriously wonder if the negative reviewers are talking about the same service. Eric was prompt, pleasant, SUPER respectful and responsible about COVID compliance (wore a mask, stayed 6 ft apart, washed hands etc), explained all the issues well, and in the course of our discussion about my home's many plumbing problems (observable with my own eyes), he recommended a few things regarding a kitchen renovation I was planning that saved me $$$. He also showed me how to do some basic maintenance so I wouldn't have to call him for a minor recurring issue. I was so pleased with his work on a bunch of annoying small repair jobs, that I have brought him back for multiple larger plumbing jobs.

My house had BAD plumbing when I bought it -- like multiple elements only held together with tape. Shortly after I moved in, I discovered one toilet mechanism was held together with duct tape. Later, when I got a new dishwasher, I discovered my dishwasher drain hose was held to the main drain stack with electrical tape and it had been causing a slow leak under my floating floor (if I hadn't upgraded my dishwasher it could have been years before I discovered this since it was hidden). I actually ended up paying for a second home inspection after finding this many instances of tape used for plumbing after I moved in, because they were not noted in my original home inspection (I'm going to do a brief side plug for StructureTech the best home inspectors who found all kinds of things I wish I'd known when I bought, I will never use another home inspector again in this state). It's pretty depressing to buy a new house and discover someone did a shockingly shoddy job with the plumbing. I fully trust Eric to steer me in the right direction and to talk me through my options - pros/cons/cost. At this point, over the year, he's fixed multiple issues such as small leaks and running toilets (I can repair a basic running toilet but these were more complicated), installed a new water heater, installed a new sink faucet and garbage disposal, hooked up my new refrigerator's water line. My sewer line backed up and when he was unable to come to the emergency, he recommended another company who could do the job for a reasonable price quickly. I have never felt 'upsold' or like he was unwilling to do a smaller job either (which I can't say about other repairs on my house).

Because so much work had to be done on this house, I got estimates on a few things from other plumbers, and I felt Eric was usually cheaper or on par with the other services while being more pleasant/respectful and providing better service. I had one service be pretty rude to me as woman, quote me an outrageous sum, and indicate they would nickel and dime every little thing. No thanks!

I also want to say having someone who takes COVID prevention seriously is a big stress reliever. Eric always worse a K95 high filtration mask, didn't touch his mask, didn't take it off, didn't have to be nagged about things, unlike some people I've had show up at my house without even bringing a mask.

Highly recommend.

We have used Erickson for our heating and air conditioning since 1989 when they installed central air conditioning in our 1916 vintage house which had a boiler and radiators and thus at that point in time had no duct work.  At the time Erickson was one of the few HVAC contractors who did this type of work. It was very complex with part of the system outside and the air handling system in the attic.  Installation involved running piping from the outside, downstairs compressor to the attic and then installing duct work from the attic to the rest of the house. They were able to do this without damaging the house and with minimal disruption by running the ducting in the closets. The system functioned very well for 25 years until we had Erickson replace the mechanical components with a newer more efficient system recently.  They also replaced our old original boiler with a new high efficiency boiler when our old boiler was on the brink of failure.  The old boiler was one of those old cast iron monsters but they removed it without causing damage or a huge mess.  They have provided us with scheduled maintenance for years and the technicians Jason and John are very knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. I am a mechanical engineer by training so I know that these guys know what they are doing. The advantage of working with a relatively small company like Erickson is that they know you and your system and you know them.  When we have had to reach out to the owner Zack Erickson he has always been very accessible and courteous and he knows HVAC. I highly recommend this company and have a hard time understanding the negative comments.

We called the company with an emergency for a commercial building we manage out of state.  They were very responsive and communicated each step of the process often.  They went above and beyond and solved issues we weren't aware of.  I wish all service providers could follow their example.  They not only 'Plum Rite but do it right.

I'm generally handy around the house so I tried many things including attempting to flush out the clog by dumping boiling water down the drain, using baking soda and vinegar mix and dismantling the drain and snaking the pipe myself... One trip to Menards, three hours and a sore back later finally I gave in and decided to contact a plumber.

I called several plumbers including one plumber that was highly referred by friend. I was told by that company they would charge me double-time due to the weekend and suggested I call back Monday. I called back 8:30 am on Monday and they told me they were fully booked for the next two days and they would call me back if they could fit me in.

The last place I called was Affordable Sewer and Water for the St. Paul area (I live in Maplewood) the operator was professional and gave me and quote which was aproimately $70 cheaper than all the quotes I received that morning plus they were able to schedule me right away so I set an appointment for that afternoon.

My Drain is now free of clogs after the plumber used his 60-foot power snake to clear it out. After all of this I still haven't heard back from the two companies who said they would call back. The plumber was conscious and respectful of my house and put on boot coverings and didn't leave any mess whatsoever. I'm completely satisfied with the service Affordable Sewer and Water has provided, they communicated their fees clearly and efficiently performed the job. I will contact Affordable Sewer and Water first next time I have plumbing needs.

Pros: Clear pricing, overall friendly and professional service, on time

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!

Bad experience actual bill was twice as much as what the quote was.  when I spoke with him to see why we were charged twice the amount of what the quote was they told me because it took twice as long as expected to work on it.  I said yes that is correct That's because your plumber did not have the correct tool so he sat there and tried to get the job done with the wrong tool instead of going to buy the proper tool so he could do it in the correct amount of time.  The technician was honest with me and told me he had the wrong tool and that's why it took so long because he was trying to force other tools to fit and work.

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.

We had a great experience with Boys Electric. Professional, courteous and value for money. We had two ancient power sockets removed, replaced and brought up to code as well as having a dimmer installed.

Why did I really like these guys?
1) The booking experience over the phone was terrific. First class. Their tone, willingness to help and taking time to explain their pricing and setting expectations about the job.
2) The technician was extremely capable and professional. Awesome.
3) They bill on a fixed price basis, not by the hour. The job was scoped and priced up front and the cost doesn't change. If it takes them twice as long, it's the same fee.

Excellent service provider and I will certainly use them again!!

Sabre is an exceptional contractor who did great work for me.  After dealing with several contractors upon moving into a new home, Sabre ranks near the top for quality, timeliness, and customer service.  They came to finish a job after another contractor had several employees quite and became non-communicative.  

I recommend Sabre if you are seeking a reliable contractor to work with.

Horrible experience.   Do not waste your time.  Clint is a crook that tried to charge me 4x the going rate.  His work was poor quality and he had to come back to fix what he had done.  Even then he only fixed it after arguing about it.  I would rate him less than 1 star if possible.

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.
