"Shane, the plumber, cleared the drain clog. He was friendly, on time, knowledgeable, and answered all my questions. Shane estimated it would take an hour and it took only about half an hour. I was then charged a ridiculous $830. I feel I was way overcharged and am not happy with this. I do not recommend Dean's Home Services."

Lindman Plumbing Co.
"He brought an assistant who was the driver and the main issue was how many steps he would have to take to get to my property and they would not remove shoes. I say this to illustrate the age issue of Gary accepting this work...he is very old..I am 90 yrs and consider myself to be pretty old, but Gary is Really old and he indicated that he fixed the problem..mostly by using Plumber's Putty around the base. No mention of the ring being a problem..which was only three years old, the age of the toilet. The toilet started wobbling again two days later and the awful looking brown plumber's putty was seeping out looking just terrible!!! I have a nice bathroom with a walk in shower, new toilet and to have this brown creepy stuff coming out of the toilet base is too terrible AND I paid him $280.00 for this!! I cannot dispute this charge as he requested a check to avoid having to pay the 3% charge by the credit card company so I wrote a check ..not knowing this putty was going to be on the floor next to the toilet ..almost before he could cash the check!! I feel that I was robbed and I think calling Angie was the biggest mistake!! Angie should be aware of the credentials and qualifications of the persons coming into our homes to prevent this charade and robbery of my $280.00. I don't get any satisfaction in knowing that all Angie can do for me is table him with a bad review. Mr. Lindman offered to come back so I asked him what more he would do if coming back and he replied something that was going to take a lot of work. I did not understand what that was. He accused me of yelling at he so I gave him wan example of a real yell to let him know I wasn't yelling and that started him off. He cursed at me and the call ended."

Nick's Chimney Service & Duct Cleaning of St Paul MN has been family owned and operated for over 16 years. We serve the Twin Cities Metro and Western Wisconsin areas, and we provide quality, reliable services at affordable rates.
"I had them out a few years ago to do $650.00 in tuck-pointing on my chimney since it was causing water intrusion into my basement. Their work started failing at the end of 2024 so I called them to see how much they stand behind their work and if they can at least inspect it to see what other issues the chimney may have. They never called or emailed me back so it all felt like a scam for them to get some quick cash with a half-hearted ‘fix’ when they did the tuck-pointing."

Fixing a gas leak costs about $45 to $150 per hour for a plumber or gas line specialist. The job’s overall cost will vary depending on the location of the leak. A leaky junction or connection behind the stove or dryer will likely cost about $120 to $170. But for a leak that requires a gas fitter or plumber to excavate a pipe in the yard, the cost could rise to $1,500 to $5,000. Keep in mind that gas leaks are very serious issues, so don’t hesitate to contact a plumber or gas line specialist immediately.
The cost to install a fireplace is $2,440 on average. This cost can range from $150 to $8,000 or more, depending on the type of fireplace, the materials used, and the size.
Electric fireplaces cost around $1,000 to install, and mostly only require wiring installation. Installing a wood fireplace from scratch could cost upwards of $10,000, depending on the foundation needed to support the weight of the fireplace. In addition, gas fireplaces can cost between $2,500 and $10,000.
The cost to remodel your fireplace is $1,200 on average. This cost can range from $400 to $2,000, depending on the extent of work needed.
If you add a hearth to your fireplace, you can expect to pay between $3 and $200 per square foot. However, if you're refacing your fireplace, the price tag will depend on your chosen materials. If choosing tile, you can pay between $1 and $50 per square foot, depending on the design. Stone is a more expensive material, averaging between $60 and $70 per square foot.
Yes, it can be worth installing a gas fireplace, depending on your home heating needs. The cost to install a gas fireplace can be much lower than the cost to install a comparable wood-burning fireplace. The convenience of starting a fire with the flip of a switch and turning it off just as quickly makes a gas fireplace a big time saver over starting and maintaining a wood-fueled fire. A gas fireplace also does not require ash cleanup or frequent chimney cleaning to remove creosote and other buildup that can lead to chimney fires. Gas fireplaces burn and heat much more cleanly than wood fireplaces.
A gas fireplace insert costs about $3,600 to install, on average. The cost to install a gas log insert ranges from about $700 to $6,500, depending on the size, type of insert, how it works, and heating needs. Gas fireplaces need electrical and gas lines installed properly, so hiring a pro is recommended rather than trying to DIY installation.
