Best 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.

Mark has come out to my house to install a new water softener and a new toilet over the last few years. He responded quickly, was very professional, took the time to explain what the issues were, and always left the work area really clean. I would definitely hire Mark again for any plumbing issues. I hope he doesn't retire or quit the plumbing business anytime soon!

Great guys, honest and reasonably priced. We had bad experiences with others but not with this family run business. Highly recommend.

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!

Nate was awesome! He was in the middle of a huge project but still made the time to get to me for my emergency pipe burst/leak. He was great to work with, he is very skilled, and seems to do great work! I plan to go to Nate for any future plumbing needs I may have!! I HIGHLY recommend him!

We've now had three wonderful experiences with Norblom. They're reasonable, friendly, articulate, show up when they say they will and they do great work.

This last time, we had both toilets fixed. One of them we didn't even know needed maintenance, so it was really nice that he checked and replaced a few inexpensive parts. It flushes much easier now as it was too stiff for our three year old to flush previously. She had to leave her tiny turds in there for one of us to find and flush, so this was truly a gift.

The toilet in the main bathroom started running again about a week after it was fixed so we called back. They warrantee their work for 30 days so they sent someone out and he figured out that the water level was too high, installed another new flapper and just did a thorough job all-around. He let me know that if this toilet acts up again, they'll have to charge, which I totally understand, but more than that, he communicated this fact to me clearly and directly. Communication is key! We tried to tip one of the guys and he walked out the door as fast as he could saying You guys use that money to buy much-deserved beer. (we have three small children, same as him, so he gets it.)

SUCH nice folks, from Amy on the phone to the plumbers in the field. You won't regret going with Norblom. Do it. Do it now.

Our well pump died early this morning. I contacted Hugo Plumbing around 10:30am and even though one guy was off and the other was on a different job they made a special effort to come by because they didn't want to leave us hanging over the weekend without water. They were very polite and professional. Total charge was $1,900, which is reasonable based on what I've read/heard from others. I will definitely use them in the future and refer them to anyone who is seeking help.

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'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!

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 Jeremy to come and fix the main water valve in our home and we think he did a great job.  Just about a year prior, we had the same job done by a different local plumber and it wasn't very long before it was leaking.  Ever since Jeremy came to fix it, so far, so good!  His rates were very reasonable and fair, especially when considering how much care he took in what he was doing.

Hire Jeremy!  You won't be sorry! :)

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!

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.

Had Terry Overacker plumbers replace a main valve that had a small leak .I arrange the city turn water on the day that Terry said that his crew was in the city. Terry Overacker said he dosent charge a trip fee and his crew would look at job and give me a EST .One of the plumbers was told to go to the truck and brought in a prewritten EST even though they had brought in there EST tablet in the house  and were looking repair. I Paid  $495.00 for a valve  that may of cost $50.00 retail. The  plumbers were there for about 40 min if that [400.00 dollars a hour?] The valve they replaced   was threaded not soldered.  Writing this so you have other options plumbers to call and you should.  I kick myself for not believing  the reviews I seen but they are correct. I try to support businesses  in my city  and Terry Overacker is in Anoka. But will not use this company again. Thanks Steve M

In early May 2022, our sewage line backed-up in our basement. I had a few plumbing companies come out for assessments. Dean's came out for an assessment of the line and I agreed with their assessment of replacing the sewage line. However the salesman was very braggadocious about how much money he was saving me and how he can work out a deal for me. Very gross salesman tactics that were obvious and not well performed. I only went with Dean's because I agreed with the plan not because the salesman sold me on how good of a deal I was getting.
Part of his long-winded deal he was giving me was that it would cost ~$1750 to remove and replace 1 segment of city sidewalk or street curb section. He spend 5 minutes going over how much money he was saving me because their digger was the best in state. He marked out 4 sections that would have to be removed by a regular digger, but his guy could do it and only remove 1 section, saving me ~$5000. I then went over it again with him because I wanted to make sure that when they actually did the job, they didn't end up removing more sections than the 1 section the salesmen said his digger could do it in and then now I have an extra charge of ~$1750. He said nope, only one section will be removed.
I was not home when the pipe replacement happened. However when I got home I noticed no sections of sidewalk had been removed. I thought, well they must have the best digger in the state then! But I had still paid for the sidewalk replacement, so if the cost I was quoted was ~$1750 to remove and replace a sidewalk, why did I pay for that when no sidewalk was replaced. So I called for an adjustment. After a discussion with the customer service, they said they would be back in touch with me. Later that week I got a call back with an adjustment of $700. That's not even half of the quoted value for sidewalk replacement. I said that was not enough back and they said they would see what they could do and I would receive a call back.
No call back. After 2 weeks of no calls, I called back, spoke with their answering service and I was told I would receive a call the next day. No call the next day. I called back 6 or 7 times in a month and a half and did not receive my call back until July. Each time I was promised a call back the next day and never got one until I had to get very short and heated with the call service and made them promise me I would get a call back from the manager.
I finally just got off the call with the manager and she said there was nothing else the could do for me. She said the price is the price and the only adjustment would be the $700. So I told her her salesman lied to me and she said he didn't. I said, so you agreed there should be an adjustment ($700) but that wasn't the cost I was told. So either they are keeping $1000 for no reason, or the salesman lied to me. She had nothing to respond to that other than, there won't be any further adjustment to the price.
Very frustrating experience, I feel like they took my money and ran hoping I wouldn't put up a fuss about it. I will never use Dean's again and will never recommend them to anyone. I just pray they did the job right and didn't replace my pipes with plastic straws from McDonald's or something.

Jankey service and too high pricing considering the quality. Hire somebody who actually cares about what they do

We spent over $300 hiring Randy Lane & Sons Plumbing & Heating to install a gas range in our Minneapolis home and to pull a permit required by the City of Minneapolis.

Randy Lane installed the gas range without issue but absolutely refused to pull the permit that we explicitly made a line item in their work order. It took over 6 weeks of phone calls and the threat of litigation via certified mail to get them to pull the permit. We have finally passed inspection but I absolutely do not recommend you hire this company for a gas range installation in Minneapolis.
