Best Heater Repair in Saint Paul MN
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:)

My bathroom sink faucet and shutoff valves needed to be replaced. Roman responded quickly, was communicative, and was clear about the work he was doing. Very professional.

Legend Services installed a new Day & Night brand furnace in our home today. Their service was thoroughly knowledgeable and professional from initial visit to assess the situation, to their estimate, and the actual installation. They arrived on time, completed the work very neatly in just a few hours, and cleaned up spotlessly when they were done. I would highly recommend this company for heating, A/C and plumbing work. Truly one of the most professional service providers with whom I've worked in the 29 years that I've owned the home. Thanks for an excellent job!

Everything you could ask for in a great service company. John gave specific detailed feedback, weighed the costs and benefits of what actions to take, showed commitment to customer satisfaction and feasibility in price and functionality, and I got to learn plenty of baseline information about the specific problems that were occurring on my unit so I know why decisions are made.

I found Keith when we needed a gas range installed. He was careful to warn us about the possible cost before coming out. By the time we left we asked him to submit a bid for our basement finish project. He and his crew were wonderful - always on schedule, neat and pleasant on the job and helping us make good purchase decisions. This is a great family business.

A++ to Hessian Plumbing and Mike!
My husband has replaced lots of toilet flappers, but we had a feisty flapper/toilet that wouldn't cooperate (plus a broken emergency shut-off valve). Looked on Yelp for a plumber and saw that Hessian Plumbing was recommended. I spoke with Mike -- he was friendly and had an opening that worked for us. Mike came by today and fixed the toilet in under 15 minutes. Total pro. Thanks, Mike!

These guys are a joke. The bank I bought my house from sub-contracted them to do plumbing repairs on my house, probably picked them at random. I would never have chosen them.
Their guy sat in my basement smoking cigarettes, doing nothing, charging by the hour while he waited for the city water utility to turn on the water main. I never asked him to wait in my basement. If I had been there, I'd have told him to do his job or get lost. Instead, because he hung around doing nothing under the pretense of working, they got to charge me for three times the amount of labor they actually performed. The truth is, he was unable to do any work until the water main was turned on. Very, very shady. They also charged me an enormous truck fee (around $70) just for getting off their duffs and driving a mile and a half to my house.
In spite of how skeezy this all was, I never disputed the fees or how they were calculated even though I knew I was getting screwed. I didn't want to wade into the quagmire of smalls claims court as I was trying to get my house into livable condition.
The bank stupidly paid in advance for the work, cut them a huge check and told them to remit the remaining balance to me after they took their cut for their labor. Even with all of their hidden fees and questionable charges,there was still a sizable sum left over.
Well, you can guess how that turned out. I had to threaten to sue them, file complaints with the BBB, and repeatedly call one of the plumbers at his other job before they finally cut me a check for the outstanding balance. It took weeks to get my money back. That money wasn't a gift from the bank. It was slated for other repairs that needed to be done as part of our signed contract. Everyone deserves to be able to move into a house that has a functioning toilet and running water.
It sure seemed like they were trying to rip me off in any way they could. The bank made it easy for them, and they took every advantage they could of my situation.
My advice: steer clear. And if you are ever in a position where the bank you are buying your home from is paying for repairs to be performed, if those repairs are going to be performed after you move in, make sure you're the one choosing contractors and subcontractors. And don't allow anyone to make bids who has bad reviews. I don't know if Tschida Brothers did before, but they do now.

They've helped us out a couple times with leaking, corroded valves. The plumbers and scheduling staff are friendly, efficient, knowledgeable. Well done! Much appreciated!

This company charges $129 just to obtain an estimate to clean an evaporator coil. That is a ridiculously high fee to receive any sort of estimate to begin with, but even more ridiculous when the customer knows exactly what he needs. This company obviously does not want you to obtain estimates from other companies when they charge such a high fee themselves.

$550 to install a kitchen faucet that I supplied! And according to Tom the smooth talking plumbing manager that was the heavily discounted price. I would warn against anyone considering using Muska. For any of their services.

Very helpful team with lots of integrity - never felt like I was being oversold or talked down to. Terry and co. did a great job writing up the full scope of my project, reviewing it with me, and providing options for each component so I knew I was getting the best for my money.

My water heater was not working the best for a few years. We ran out of hot water too easily, and it overheating the water no matter the temp setting. It was manageable, but at some point I finally decided to give someone a call. I made a huge mistake and made that someone Dean.
Nate came out to give it a look. He didn't exactly diagnose the problem, but he recommended replacing the gas valve. He explained that this would fix the problem, because the gas valve is pretty much the only part on a water heater other than the tank. The part was covered by a warranty.
Nate came back and replaced the gas valve. It was $650 for the labor. That's a lot, but from reading online reviews, I did know Dean's is expensive.
After replacing the gas valve, nothing changed. After a few days, the pilot light when out and wouldn't relight. Nate came back and got it going, but it went out again the next day. At this point, he said that the gas valve must be faulty and gave me two options. 1) Replace the valve again for another $650. 2) A whole new water heater.
After complaining, they refunded about $275. I spent a total of $700 when you include taxes and shipping on the parts. So I paid about $425 to have my water heater broken. I'm not sure what the going rate for breaking a water heater is, but that seems high.
I ended up having the water heater replaced by another company. Their quote was $700 less than Dizzy Dean's, and they were better, nicer, easier to work with and more skilled.

If you are looking to be scammed by Pedro at Do It Right Plumbing this is the place for you! You get to pay $89 for him to come out to tell you what is wrong and then give you an outrageous quote and not be able to break down to costs. But wait, there's more... if you decide not to use Pedro, he will kindly call the Hopkins inspector and report you for not having plumbing up to code. Basically, a childless vindictive move that was NOT taken well by the inspector! In fact, it turns out that Pedro and Do It Right Plumbing engages is phone solicitation to scam people to their company. I actually called a different company and got redirected to his. Total Scam DO NOT USE PEDRO TOTAL SCAM!!!
