I had this company perform an emergency repair on a Sunday night in early August that cost an arm and a leg (+$700 for 45 minutes work). I chalked the cost up to it being a Sunday and an emergency. To their credit they showed up when they said they would and did a proper job.
I called them back last week for a leaky pipe that was not an emergency repair and upon arrival at the scheduled time, their service person quoted me $508 to perform the repair which seemed very expensive to me. The reason this seemed high was the leak was at the water softener at one of the 90 degree elbow joints. So it appeared that all they needed to do was re-solder the joint. The repair person insisted that this was the "going rate" for any plumber I might call but I still told him to forget it. I called Pokorney Plumbing and they came the next day, performed the repair and charged me $146.50 for about 40 minutes of work. Pokorney also did a great job but only charged 1/4th the St Paul Plumbing quote. I feel cheated by St Paul Plumbing for the repair they did for me in August. LIve and learn......
Pros: was on time and performed the work
Cons: way over priced compared to their competition
