Best Emergency Work in Minneapolis MN
I called and wanted to use this company TJK Plumbing Inc., because they were not Hero, Deans, or Bonfe, you know...the places that rip you off. And I also wanted to use TJK because I was told this was a family owned and local business.
We have had so many issues with our house that I know and have used many contracting services and how they operate and we have been taken advantage of many, many times. This is why I post my reviews on Google to warn others.
My kitchen sink faucet broke/leaked and needed replacement, so after replacing the sink on my own (DIY mission) four times, four different sinks because nothing is compatible with old plumbing, mission accomplished. New faucet installed however the sink fittings were leaking and then original cheap drain pipes fell apart after faucet install, I finally gave up. I had TJK come out and they quoted me $375 to fix this, after looking at it. I was very apprehensive on price but after the explanation that the plumber needed a flux capacitor (yes I am making that one up) and a pipe expansion tool that cost a thousand dollars I assumed the services are worth it but I still complained about the outrageous price. I also asked if they provided a Military Discount and the plumber said no! FYI: The website says they do? Hmmm. I also think the plumber's first time customer discount (30 bucks) was added to my repair not discounted....375 plus 30 discount, is 345, total cost was $405. I guess his math is not good. After what felt like 40 minutes the job was done. Two connections to new faucet install, two steel braided lines to water supply and two shut off connectors. Cost $405.00 buckaroo's!!!! I waited to receive invoice from plumber and saw that nothing was itemized on the billing invoice to show labor, parts, or...the explanation of costs for services rendered. I called TJK and explained my situation and how I was not happy about the price after not knowing what I was charged for and mentioned this work should have cost about 120 bucks. Instead of them, TJK working with the plumber to solve my issue, the original plumber called me and tried to explain the services. And of course NO follow up from TJK company as of yet. I was still not pleased after our discussion and it was extremely impossible to try to talk to this plumber, during and after repairs, as he is a very fast talker, doesn't allow you to talk, and talks over you.
I am only assuming this but I think TJK is the company of course representing the plumbers that are self contracted by the company and they work independently under their name, that is my assumption however. I was told by my plumber that I was at $310 dollars just for him showing up. A $60 fee to get here, have the appointment, and rest was his labor cost. So I assuming this plumber is charging 250 bucks an hour for labor if my math is correct? Wow, I should have been a plumber. The pictures below will show you that these parts would have cost maybe 40 bucks at Menards, with 11% discount of course. So if I continued on my DIY journey I would have saved more than 365 dollars. I will provide pictures below for your review and people still wanting to use TJK I would advise and ask a for detailed explanation on every part, labor, and extra fees cost on the project you are having issues with. For me; I personally will not be recommending them to anyone unless they reimburse me 300 dollars as that job to me for the plumber was simple, fast, easy and once again I have been taken advantage of, yes for those wondering.... it was the flux capacitor and pipe expansion tool, which I do not have that got me. God Bless Everyone!

We've used MN Plumbing & Heating for years, and John H has been out to our house multiple times - outstanding service every time.

Jeff is awesome. We woke up yesterday to a sipping wet basement and had no idea what to do. Couldn’t find any source of water and thankfully after we had called nearly everyone within a 50 mile radius we got ahold of him and saw him later the same day. He worked us in and came out and gave us a totally honest explanation of what’s happening and even showed with his equipment what was going on so we would actually understand the problem. Unfortunately the issue isn’t within his realm of repair but he was able to give us the information we needed. Now we are headed in the right direction thanks to his help! He also went the extra mile to come back to the door and let us know about some problematic landscaping that we had and how to remedy it. If we ever need water repair or know someone who does we will be strongly recommending First Response Restoration!

I love Erickson! They show up on time and do a great job.

Standard Heating and Air have respectful and skilled service providers and friendly office staff who always find appointments that are convenient for me! Standard sold me my furnace and AC over 8 years ago, and they have been taking good care of me ever since. I'm glad I found them. I trust them completely.

I called early in the morning and I was happy he fit me in after 5 pm. (My main line wasn’t blocked, just a kitchen drain)
He called exactly at 5 and arrived right when he said he would. Polite and punctual, Pablo was a pleasure to work with and he seemed to get it done quick. 5/5 would call again! (Hope I don’t need to!)

Nick was able to come over the same day, did a quick evaluation, let me know all of my options for repairs versus installing a new toilet. This toilet was very old so I preferred to have it replaced. He was able to do this immediately and was done with the job in an hour. Toilet works wonderful. Also a nice guy

I have used Joe and his team at Cutting Edge 3 times on my rental, once on my own home, once for my business and as a general contractor have referred him to several of my clients.
Not only are they reasonable, they are always very timely, clean, and have technicians with great attitudes.
I would recommend them to anyone.

These people came to install new plumbing in my bathroom , They drilled huge holes in my basement joist and completely ruined the stability of my home foundation now this will cost me great amount of $ and stress. PLEASE TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE! Just for saving a few bucks not it will cost me 5x more to fix it!

We had smelly well water so we gave Matt's plumbing a call. They came out the next day and replaced the water softner because ours didn't work. We were advised if the smell doesn't go away to put a charcoal filter in. We were amazed, they were spot on. We had fresh water to drink. My wife loves me again after she showered with the soft water.

The Cichy's team were awesome, communicative, on time, and did a great job! Setting everything up with Jessica was a breeze. The team was respectful of my yard and home and did a nice job cleaning everything up when they were finished. I would certainly recommend them and will surely give them a call for my future updates and repairs. Thanks, guys!
