My husband and a friend had cut a hole in our ceiling to determine where the water leak was coming from so I called on Dana Hoagland Plumbing to do the repairs. I had just had another plumber out the week prior to repair a cartridge in my kids shower so I could have just called them back to do this job. But, I was worried that this repair was going to be a bigger issue and I wanted to make sure I had a reputable company do the work. I'm so glad I took the time to look up plumbers on Angie's List and that I found Dana Hoagland Plumbing. Dana worked me into his busy schedule as I was located between two job sites. He confirmed where the leak was coming from and identified why the leak may have started (improper installation when the home was built due to location of pipes) then told me how it needed to be fixed. He asked me if I wanted him to go ahead and fix it before he did anything, which I appreciated. He didn't have the parts to make the repair so he made a run to a hardware store, returned and made the repair. While he was here I asked him a few questions about other plumbing/drain issues we were having and he even helped me unclog my kitchen drain. He was so nice and patient and professional. As stressful as home repairs/issues can be, it's nice to know there are "good guys" out there that you can trust to hire for the job. I will very likely call Dana Hoagland Plumbing in the future if/when the need arises.

"As a person in the plumbing trades both new construction and service work I have come to appreciate the skills of someone who does a craft full time and is encouraged to develop skills to make it “their” full time occupation and career. Drain cleaning is part of maintaining a plumbing system. It is a craft different than installing and repairing plumbing but it is just as important to do it correctly. The other values in McDonough’s services are several having the equipment and personnel trained and available is paramount to this no matter how big a job has gotten they have never stopped until it was completed! The other feature that is not fully understood by many is that it is always best to use someone that has only one purpose in mind and that is to get the drain cleaned and inspected and has no reason to up sell you on some repairs or replacement that you don’t need.

You deserve a safe and reliable home. Get the job done right the first time with outstanding customer service from the Twin Cities top rated electrician. Outlets, fans, lighting, smoke detectors, switches, and service panels. Your full service electrician.
"I hired Randy’s to fix a recurring electrical issue that was cutting power to the upper floor of my home, and to install two new circuits, work completed over two visits about a week apart. The new circuits seem to work fine, but the original issue persists—despite spending over $5,000, including $1,000+ on diagnostics. The electrician spent about 45 minutes on the initial assessment, then replaced some wiring and breakers. The problem reoccurred before the second visit, which I reported by phone, but he was unaware of it when he arrived. He did minimal follow-up, blamed CFL bulbs, and later suggested the issue might be with outlet or switch connections—something I believe should have been checked from the start. The issue has since returned again, and after three follow-up calls in three days, I’ve received no response. On the positive side, the crew was professional, worked in a difficult attic space, and cleaned up well. Still, I expected better troubleshooting, communication, and post-service support for what I paid."

FAQs for boiler repair projects in Prior Lake, MN
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.

It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you’ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don’t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
