Best Businesses in Saint Paul, MN

Amazing Experience with Drain Busters! Communicated and explained the issue very well. I would recommend Drain Busters to everyone with confidence, and I would say you should contact them first with any issues!

Eric is the best of all plumbers I’ve ever used. He’s professional knowledgeable wise friendly and gives the best service. He deserves a big promotion and the company deserves a big shout!

After 52 years this home needed a new septic system. How thankful I am that we found Mike Capra’s to do the job. When he came out to give us a bid, I knew we had the one that we needed to go with. Mike was thorough in educating on what needed to be done, how it was going to be done and why it was going to be done the way the way it was installed. Then his exceptional crew showed up and they did an incredible job. Good at communicating, courteous, thoughtful, and went beyond the extra mile to make sure they left our land in good shape. I was very impressed of how they all worked together as a team. Obviously, they have a good leader. They were so efficient they were done in two days and it was a big project of a 60 foot wide mound at the bottom of a hill, even had to put a new road in to get down there. It’s good to have an experienced crew and they are top notch.

Nate was great at explaining how the K5 drinking water filtration system functioned. He worked with us as far as where the location of the tanks could go and showed us how to access everything. The way the system was installed allowed us to still have the storage underneath our sink for cleaning supplies and such. Nate was able to put the housing of the filters in our pantry and then connect it to the refrigerator. Nate was very kind and courteous, and made sure to clean up after he had to drill through the granite and drywall in order to access our refrigerator to tie the drinking system into the refrigerator. Can’t wait to have awesome water come through the fridge and ice machine!

Paul was new to us when he came to fix a burst pipe in our basement. He came highly recommended on Next Door. He was terrific! Not only did he fix the problem, he also worked with us on preventing the issue from happening again. He installed an outdoor spigot that was far superior to the one we had. He offered to replace it with the same one or do the upgrade - our choice. We chose the slightly more option and it works so much better. We are very grateful to Paul for his professional work, his can-do spirit, and his advice. We will definitely contact him when we have another issue.

Mark came out to do maintenance on our water heater. We talked on the phone and he was able to fit us in same day which was very convenient! He was very professional, nice, and reasonably priced. We'll definitely work with him again!

The nicest people you would want to work with

Customer service is the key and this company has what it takes! They are courteous and professional. They are an awesome value and dont sock you with hidden costs. They are up front with what needs to be done and what it will cost to do it. If something unexpected comes up, they are prepared and explain things along the way. I would definitely recommend this company!

These guys are great. I've had them out a few times and the work is always done well.

I have been using them for years as a plumbing contractor, they are very reliable, professional, and always leaves my customers happy.

Good service good prices. Recommended by ace hardware

As first time homeowners, this was our first season experiencing the Minnesota winter and the freeze/thaw/insulation issues that create ice dams and roofing leaks - and with a new baby, the situation was extra stressful. We reached out to All Star Handyman as they were highly recommended and talked with Josiah about our situation. He was extremely professional and clearly has a lot of experience in the industry, but was able to speak at our level for us to really understand what was happening, the possible causes, and the pros/cons to various solutions. We never felt talked down to or like he was trying to scare and oversell us. We felt very confident that we understood the situation and the best solution for our family and budget. Josiah oversaw the completion of our fix and he was timely, well-prepared, and very personable to work with - it felt like he truly cared about our family and doing a good job for us. Not only was he thorough and efficient in completing the project, but he also educated us with the knowledge and tools to prevent the issue from reoccurring next season. We would highly recommend All Star Handyman LLC for your home repair and home project needs!

Master plumber with lots of experience, affordable and professional.

I called late on a Sunday evening because one of our bathroom sink valves inexplicably broke and was spraying water all over the bathroom. I expected them to charge an arm and a leg for an emergency visit but Ken calmly talked me through a quick fix that would hold us over until Monday morning when a technician could come during regular hours. Our tech, Corey, came over right away on Monday morning and fixed the issue. Ken saved us hundreds by talking me through a fix instead of sending someone and Corey was awesome and fixed the pipe within 30 minutes. I was blown away by how quickly they were able to respond and help. I highly recommend!!!

Rescue Sewer and Drain did a fantastic job. They are reasonably priced and I highly recommend them! Ramon installed a new bathroom faucet. He was responsive, knowledgeable, friendly and left no mess behind.

Putting on a pressure release valve; $485.

Not recommend for anyone. Jim hangs up on customers and is very rude. They charge over $130 just for a 10 minute visit, not even an inspection was done. They do not communicate well with their customers about their fees and charges and do not disclose it until they send you an invoice. Again this is not a place that I would recommend to others because they are expensive, they don’t communicate and disclose their charges, and they have rude customer services.

Dishonest service. Inflated prices. Hidden fees.

Alto was referred to me by another customer. So I set up appointment, I'm gonna cut to the chase. I was charged $250 for the first 90 mins and $175 per hour after, and I was told it would be $2 per additional foot to run the snake beyond 100 feet. He ran the snake an additional 50 feet. I paid almost $800. I had to call another company out to actually clear out the wipes stuck in the drain. They charged $198 and actually unclogged the drain.
I spoke with the person that referred me to Alto, whose opinion I trust because he is knowledgeable, I explained to him what Rick did and what he charged me...he couldn't believe it and was not happy as that's not what Alto even charges for multi dwelling plumbing issues.
I'm told they get commission..I guess being a woman that doesn't know much about plumbing, Rick decided I would be his target that day.
The person that referred me is going to try and help me recoup some of the money back, he felt really bad, and has not had this type of experience(work or price) with Alto before, and knows who Rick is.
All it takes is 1 person/employee to give a business a bad reputation.
Due to the experience I had with Alto, I will not recommend this company, and I advised the person that referred me(even though he meant well) not to refer them.
