Best Home Remodeling in Saint Paul MN

We were very happy with our experience with YoungCastle Bathrooms and would recommend this company to anyone thinking about a bathroom project.

Starting with the bid process, Dimitri showed up on time, was respectful, and spent the time he needed to measure and clearly document the project. After the proposal was ready, he stopped by and went through every item in detail - the work breakdown for demolition, carpentry, plumbing, tile work, and other optional labor work. Everything was clearly spelled out, and Dmitri answered all of our questions.

Our project lasted three weeks. He was on time every day - not a minute late. He would always spend a few minutes every morning going through his plan for the day, reviewing any change requests, and answering questions. The path to the work area was covered and taped with tarps; every single item that needed to be preserved was wrapped and taped with plastic. Entrances to the nearby bedrooms were covered (and the plastic was removed at the end of each day). The mirror and the vanity in the bathroom were properly protected. We were very impressed with his attention to detail.

The quality of Dimitri's work was superb. As he was laying down the tiles, he took the time to make sure no tiles with repeating patterns were next to each other, and made sure the tiles were from the same lot. He inspected the new bathtub for defects. He was very conscious about how the project work would inconvenience us (we are all working from home) and he made sure we had plenty of advance notice before the water needed to be shut off for plumbing work. As part of the project, he also took hundreds of pictures to document the process.

When you're looking for a contractor, you want someone who has excellent skills, is dependable, responsible, and pays attention to detail. You will be happy with YoungCastle Bathrooms.

Lange's Plumbing & Heating have provided us with superior service for years. Jim and his crew have been quick to respond to our needs, efficient in their work and always priced fairly. It would be easy to take advantage when there is no heat in the middle of a cold Minnesota winter or suddenly you find your hot water heater has failed........they simply respond like professionals.

Fast, fair, friendly and with the quality workmanship we need. For us it is Lange's Plumbing and Heating!

Perfect!  Showed up within the window of time, they both were polite, kind, speedy and thorough.  Yes, they wore masks (covid19). Plus during this pandemic they were AFFORDABLE - like a good old fashioned family owned company they INVOICE you.  That certainly helps if your repair falls under a homeowner insurance claim.  I had previously checked with another plumbing company to redo my sisters garbage disposal, but that company wanted you to BUY into expensive programs like they were some kind of special club. Hero plumbing wanted $900, PLUS the estimate at $89 WTF? For a garbage disposal install?  

HIRE THESE LOCAL GUYS - KELLY PLUMBING - DONT GO WITH THE OVERPRICED CHAIN GANGS LIKE HERO PLUMBING!

I have been using PJS Plumbing for years.  They have done multiple jobs at a couple of different locations and we have been thrilled with the work each time.  Pete the owner is very knowledgeable, honest, prompt and professional.  You get all of that and PJS is very reasonably priced.  In fact, I think they should charge more.  Whether you're doing a massive renovation and simply don't have the time to install some new faucets, I would highly recommend PJS.

I am a General contractor and maintain and over see several properties.
Commercial and residential.  We have used Gust Plumbing for 20 years.   They are dependable, honest, and fair priced.  We don't use anyone else because they are so good.  I highly recommend them for any plumbing projects.

We hired Josh to install a rangehood above our stove. Josh pretty much had to start from scratch -- the previous owners had left an old liner in the space but there was no light or fan. Josh did all the research to find one that would fit into the customized space, shopped to get us the best price for the unit and installed it within two weeks of our first call to him. He was extremely professional and did a great job of communicating with me throughout the process. I will hire Josh again AND recommend him to my friends!

We needed to get a couple small projects taken care of and I had multiple companies come out for bids. Not only did St Paul Pipeworks have the best rates, but they were also incredibly friendly and great at explaining what they were doing and why. As a first time homeowner, I really appreciated them taking the time to explain why they took certain steps. Paul and Drew in particular were fantastic. I cannot recommend St Paul Pipeworks enough!

This company is awesome!  In the past they have fixed my leaking kitchen faucet and my garbage disposal.  Today they fixed my faucet in my tub shower.  Sam was very knowledgeable and told me everything I needed to know about the repair.  He was efficient and fast!  They have helped me so many times and I would recommend this company to anyone!

Wanted to support a local, family owned business.  Found All Ways Drains near our home.  They sent out Austin and Tony to work on our plumbing problem, the outdoor spigot.  They came to the house on time, with great can-do attitudes, explained what they needed to do, got the needed parts and were done and out in less than two hours.  Problem fixed!  This company will definitely be taking care of all my future plumbing needs.

Had Tim out tonight because of a leak through a lighting fixture. He was thorough and friendly.  I'll definitely use their service again.  Thanks again, Tim.

I would leave a negative number of stars if I could.
We have been using them for years with reasonable if not exemplary service.  Over the last several months, they have completely destroyed any hope of ever getting my business.
Last spring, we scheduled our AC check.  They cancelled the day of the appointment, so I had to block another 1/2 day for them to come.  On that day, they called my wife's number when I had told them to call me.  Since she was not available to answer, they called me a few minutes later to let me know it would have to be rescheduled and that the service tech was already reassigned.  Fortunately for me, they are so disorganized that the tech showed up anyway and performed the service.
We gave one more chance for our furnace check in the fall.  Big mistake!  When I called to schedule it as a service plan member, I was told that they did not have openings for over a month, but we could be put on for a day in a few weeks and find out the day before or that morning when they would be here (morning or afternoon).  On the date in November, I was told that they did not know when the tech would be here as if I had all day to wait around.  He eventually showed up around noon, and he determined some repairs were needed.  He expected the part to be available in a week, and we scheduled another appointment.  The following week, no one showed up or called. When I called them, I was told it was on back-order, but it was coming in later that day.  We rescheduled again.  Same exact scenario the next time.  After speaking with the scheduler to schedule a third repair appointment, the tech called later in the day and told me that he would not schedule an appointment until they had the part in hand.  About 11 days later on a Sunday, we got text messages (although I had asked that they just contact me) stating that we had a service appointment the next day.  We had not previously scheduled anything, and we were not available.  As it was a Sunday, no one could sort it out until Monday morning.  When I called Monday, they had no record of an appointment that day, and they still did not have the part.  Eventually, the part arrived, and the work was done over a month after it was paid for.  As an effort to make up for the repeated calls, scheduled appointments, and other hassles, they offered to provide the service plan for free for 12 months and duct cleaning.  Thus began the next painful phase of our relationship.  We were charged again for the service plan a few days later.  On the day of the scheduled duct cleaning, no one showed up.  When I called them, the first person said it was scheduled for the next day.  Later, someone else said it was actually scheduled for the day in January 2018 instead of 2019, and they offered to schedule it again.  I refused to give them one more day of my life and asked for a refund of the service plan charges (since we were clearly not getting any preferred value from it) and a partial refund on the service they provided, and I was told it would happen.  A few days later, the the 12 month refund was credited, but a second month's charge was posted a few days after that.  Two weeks later, I called again about the 2 extra months' charges and the missing refund on the service.  The 2 months were refunded, but still no refund otherwise.  I sent an email after another week, but no response or refund.  Today, I called and left a message in the morning and another in the afternoon.  Someone called me back, but they were not the person I had spoken to before.  With the fourth phone call today, I have finally received the refund I was promised 4 weeks ago along with additional refund for the additional time spent trying to sort this out.
I hope they do learn from this experience and improve their service.  I have learned to never do business with them again.

I was informed by the owner of Lake Areas Home Improvement Services, Inc - Scott Ferrell - that the work was performed by a subcontractor, and that he is not responsible for follow up on any of the work.  

Previous comments:

They started the job late after bringing the wrong materials twice), and installed the siding poorly as well as damaged two gutters during the installation of two larger downspouts.

Rainwater now leaks out of my gutter next to my house, where the repair guy had used a cutting tool to enlarge the opening for the larger downspout.  He damaged a 16 foot piece of gutter that never leaked previously.  The sidewall of the gutter was cut open, allowing water to run down the side of my house.  See pictures.

Upon inspection of another downspout they installed, they omitted installation of a gutter outlet - see pictures. Rainwater leaks from the crack and icicle will form there in the winter.

Very disappointed that I paid them $2245 for this service.  For this price you would expect quality work, a business that would warranty their work, and a contractor to not create damage while making repairs.

If you look to hire this company, check carefully on exactly who will perform the work.  If a subcontractor will do the work, check their professional credentials - licensing, insurance, bonding, warranty of work, as well as any outstanding complaints against them with the BBB, Angie's list, and Yelp among many.  Get it all in writing before you sign, and make sure you have the crew that YOU hire.
