He had to replace other pipes as we began trying them out after the leak I reported was repaired. The house had been closed down for years, so I understood why several had broken from freezing. I would have paid just about anything, but he only charged $145. The crawl space he had to go clear through was very unpleasant, but he is just the nicest guy and quite professional. He would not remark on the dirt and cobwebs. He proceeded after testing the water to light the gas water heater without being asked. I just can't say what a pure joy it is in 90-degree weather to have someone nice care that I was going without running water, do a perfect job (replaced pipes are holding up fine), and then not overcharge me. God Bless that man.

It started on time and ended on time - it took about a month. First, I had a spare toilet installed in the basement so I had something to use while my only bathroom was torn down. At the same time, I had a new laundry tub installed in the basement, and the old concrete one removed. Plumbing was all brought up to code as well. When the project started, Bryan provided me with a schedule of the work to be done from start to finish, as well as contact information for all the subcontractors. Everything was done on schedule, and inspectors showed up on time so the project went very smoothly. My house was built circa 1925, so my one bathroom is very small. The tear down to the studs took one day. There was one hiccup in the project, and it happened right after the tear down. During the middle of the night, a shut-off valve failed, so I woke in the morning to hot water spewing out of one of the valves. Thankfully, there was a hole in the bathroom floor to the basement, so most of the water simply ran down to the same area that I had cleared out to install the toilet. Really no damage in the basement, as all the water eventually ran to the drain down there. There was some damage to the finish of the hardwood floor right outside the bathroom on the main floor (the water was spewing that direction), but very minimal. I called Bryan at 6:15 a.m. that morning to tell him what happened. He and the plumber arrived in about an hour to finish cleaning up and fix the problem. The plumber subcontractor was great - just in case he also replaced the valve at the water main. This was the only problem I experienced in the entire project. Bryan brought in subcontractors for the plumbing, electrical, and tiling. I had picked out one tile pattern, however the tiling sub advised that I use another which actually would look better, and would save me a lot of money. I am very happy with his suggestion. I got great advice about what toilet to buy, as that was the only fixture I cared about (wanted something reliable, higher quality, low-flow). I wasn't picky about the sink and bathtub - I just took what the plumber advised. I ended up with a Kohler toilet. Can't remember the brands of the sink (wall-mounted) and bathtub. But they look great. I had picked out Kohler faucets and wall fixtures. I purchased all Kohler items through the plumber, so warranty would go through him. (Might have been cheaper to buy myself, but I didn't want to worry about paying extra labor costs if in a warranty time-frame) Bryan and I went over early where I wanted the towel rungs, shelves, etc. to go, so before they put in the wall he was able to install something behind that would allow for easy, strong hanging. The bathroom exhaust fan was new - they decided to build a box for it and send the exhaust through to the side wall of the house. It's a Panasonic fan - very quiet. I had an LED light fixture (with dimmer) installed over my re-finished medicine cabinet (I re-finished this myself). I took the mirror from the medicine cabinet to Alchemy Mirror Resilvering in St Paul. It's kind of a vintage medicine cabinet and I liked it. Besides, I didn't find anything I liked better anyway. So I fixed it up to look like new. I also had Bryan install some small cabinets over the door that would accommodate toiletries. They look great - custom built with beadboard on the front. I'm really happy with these, since my house has very little storage space. I did all painting myself. I also had a shower screen installed and I did a lot of research on this (had only used a shower curtain in the past). A friend suggested I look into the screens of the ilk that are used in small bathrooms in Europe. I found two manufacturers in the US that did these - Kohler and another manufacturer in Florida. They both looked like great options for different reasons. The Florida-manufactured product was half the price of the Kohler Minima screen. However, the design of the Kohler Minima shower screen was fantastic. The Kohler Mimina screen is a tri-fold screen that folds back accordian-style when not in use, so it makes it easier to clean the tub, and also isn't in the way when taking a bath. I opted for the Kohler Minima screen, which I purchased at Home Depot. Bryan had never seen or installed these screens, but he said he was always willing to try new things. He installed the screen and I am so very happy with it. It works exactly as I had hoped. When in use, the shower water stays in the tub area and doesn't leak behind the screen anywhere. I had looked for reviews of this product everywhere, including calling Kohler asking for referrals (they couldn't give me any), and calling other plumbing contractors. I found none. So, my review is that this product is fantastic - looks great, is excellent for small spaces, works as advertised, and installed relatively easily (took two people who followed Kohler's instructions exactly). Bryan and crew cleaned up the workspace every day. I have two dogs in the house and the crew was good to them as well. Some of the caulking around the tub and sink shrunk quite a bit in the first few months, leaving some gaps. Bryan came and patched those up for no charge. All in all, I am extremely pleased with how smoothly the project went from beginning to end, and I like how the bathroom looks.

I checked two other plumbers besides Norblom. Norblom gave me the lowest estimate for the same product. This was not an emergency situation, First, the salesman (Steve) was the only person who wanted to visit the home to make the estimate. He highly recommended the Eternal water heater as a highly efficient and highly reliable product. He checked out all the existing gas infrastructure and answered all my questions. He was very knowledgeable about the product. I got the estimate in December, but didn't do the project until June. The estimated cost was still valid, including an Angie's List discount.
The installation was an all-day project. The installer (Darrin) worked straight through (took no lunch) and did a very good job, including clean up. I had also asked that some plumbing pipes be replaced while he was here on the premises. He fixed a couple other things besides the water heater, and gave me some good advice about another project that couldn't be done that day, as it required more time than he would have that day. He was very professional and accommodating. So far, I am very happy with the water heater.
I did need to add an electrical outlet near the water heater, and contracted another electrician to do that work prior to Norblom coming. Norblom's estimate for adding one electrical outlet was very high (they admitted it - it would have been another subcontractor), and it was much less expensive to get my own electrician to do this work.
I applied for an Xcel rebate for the water heater and Norblom helped me with that as well.
I will definitely call this company to do the other plumbing project that requires more time."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/mn/st.-paul/norblom-plumbing-reviews-63978.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Tillers Steam Carpet Cleaning","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"IA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"ANNE F."},"reviewBody":"This company does an excellent job!

The water softener doesn't work as well as the softener that we replaced. Service provided to fix the problem is not acceptable. We are going to replace this softener with a different brand from a different company.

FAQs for plumbing and heating service projects in Osage, IA
The average cost to install a new water heater is around $1,300, but you can expect to pay between $875 and $1,750, depending on the kind of water heater, the size of the unit, and the professional chosen to complete the work. Tankless water heaters can push your price higher, as installation is more complicated, with prices as high as $3,500. The location and accessibility of your water heater will play a role in the project cost, as those sitting in tight spaces like a crawl space will drive up your labor costs.
