    Randy's Electric & Plumbing

    We hired them for a plumbing job at our place in Minneapolis and the whole experience was smooth…read morefrom start to finish. Scheduling was easy, they showed up when they said they would, and the technician took the time to explain what was going on and what the options were before starting any work. The repair itself was done quickly and cleanly, and the quality is obvious, everything works perfectly and they left the area in great shape. What really stood out was the pricing: it felt genuinely fair for the scope of work, with no surprise add-ons or "gotchas" once they were on site. Professional, transparent, and high-quality. If you need a plumber in the Twin Cities, I'd absolutely call Randy's again.

    TOTAL SCAM!!! Around 2022, during the height of COVID, I…read moreneeded immediate electrical work done. I called Randy's Electric and spoke directly with Randy. He was amazing--kind, patient, reasonably priced, and available the very same day. As someone new to the area, I was thrilled to have finally found "my electrician." Fast forward to September 2026. I called them back out for an estimate on some new work. While the technician was at my house, he asked if I was getting other quotes, and I openly told him I was getting three. Because their estimate matched another company and I valued our past relationship, I chose Randy's. During their final visit, I asked for a quick quote to add an outlet onto a regular wall by pulling power straight up from an existing, parallel outlet below it. It is a very straightforward, 20-minute job. I have paid $150 for this exact service in the past, and a quick Google search confirmed the standard rate is around $250 to $300. Imagine my absolute shock when the technician quoted $724.85!! When he saw my stunned reaction, he said, "Let me see what I can do," tapped around on his screen, and lowered it to $608. He also quoted me roughly $500 just to hang two vanity lights that were already fully wired and just needed to be connected--another basic 20-minute task. My husband came home about 15 minutes later and was incensed. He asked the technician how he could possibly justify those numbers and firmly told him he was trying to take advantage of me. Once again, the technician said, "Let me see what I can do," pushed a few buttons on the iPad, and suddenly dropped the outlet price to $300ish--less than half of the original quote!! My husband pointed out the obvious: he was just arbitrarily making up numbers on the spot to see what he could get away with. The technician tried to lower the price even further, but at that point, we were both so disgusted by the dishonest behavior that we told him to finish the originally contracted work and leave. It is incredibly sad to see what used to be a trusted, honest local business turn into a company that actively tries to scam anyone with ridiculously inflated prices.

I needed a Ring video security light hard wired into a spot with an existing outdoor light and did not feel comfortable that I could get it right. This took about a half hour and it was up and running. Next, I had a bathroom outlet that wasn´t working, at least it wasn´t working for me, for like three years. Mr Magic plugged something into the socket and it worked perfectly. Hmmmm. Next, I told him my gas fireplace no longer turned on with the wall switch. I had been creaking down on my poor knees and pushing the button under the fireplace to turn it on. Mr. Magic flipped the wall switch and it roared into life. Two years of crawling around to start it. Two. Years. Magic, right? Finally, I needed an additional wall outlet in my front entryway, a few feet below an existing switch plate, so he neatly carved a hole in my wall and hooked up a new outlet, wiped away all the dust and I was all set! Four projects melted into two. I highly recommend Gunnar, although be aware there´s a trip charge. Their office is 2.6 miles from me and the charge was $30. Overall, the cost for the work was reasonable. Especially if you get a magic electrician!
