If Weber would have done the job he was hired to do none of this would have happened. Its obvious Weber only does inspections with his ego vs his eyes & brain.

Unprofessional and overpriced TLDR; drilled into my heated…read morefloor pipe did not fix it, brought his kid with and was quite overpriced, seek other options. I wanted to give someone local support for my radon mitigation system. From the start he arrived late, we had previously discussed via email that i had a heated floor and he said that would not be a problem, he forgot the tool he needed to check where the tubes were so he left for an hour to retrieve the tool. When he came back he had his son with him i was not asked if i wanted to take part in take your kid to work day at all but here he was. He started by using a flir camera to "see" where the lines were, he had me come to verify what was supposedly there which should have been my first clue that he did not know what he was doing, i have since been told by the guy who came to help me sort this mess out a bit that people who do this more regularly use a kind of xray like machine to verify that they are drilling in the right spot. They then got to work..... with the son drilling the hole in my concrete floor as you possibly have surmised by now they drilled into a water line and he had me shut off the water at which point he most likey should have got a plumber out here at his cost as it was his screw up right? No he kept going despite admittedly not knowing what he was doing with my heated flooring system, he took the rest of the concrete out of the hole and cut the line himself without asking and tried to fix it himself as well when that didnt work he and his son went to lunch..... for over two hours. Then the electrician came to wire the fan up, he was setting up his ladder to go in the attic when he said "i didnt do that" while pointing to the entrance to my attic which had dirty handprints all over it that were not there beforehand, the electrician was professional and in and out in a half hour. The radon guy and his son came back and finished what was left of the radon mitigation system job he said he would be back to try to fix the pipe at this point i should have called a plumber and had them fix it but i sadly waited for him, he came back and tried basically the same thing which had the same results, failure. He then left. Over the next two days i drove to menards twice to get things to try to properly fix my floors, which might i add took out my hot water for the whole time so cold showers, also in trying to fix the pipe i ended up looking in the hole for the radon system that had a bunch of trash in it he had left behind. I finally got the leak sorted myself but the floors apparently needed to be blead of air for them and my hot water to work so i had a plumber come out to look at them then i finally had hot water for the first time in over two days. Where was the radon guy in all this time you ask? He went on vacation. They left their radon detector in my house the whole time and by the time he came back i was understandably not interested in his radon testing services and a bit later they came and got their radon detector. The next interaction i had was him invoicing for the entire agreed upon amount like it had all gone well and they didnt know why i had not paid despite me saying via email that we needed to discuss settling up for payment. In the end i got about 500 dollars off of the overall price and i just accepted it to no longer have to deal with him even though they were overpriced to begin with. Overall it was a terrible experience, the only good thing is that the radon mitigation system works. I would go with anyone else if you have the option.

We looked around and read many reviews. We decided to contact Twin Cities Furnace Cleaning. They did not answer the phone right away but I received a call very quickly. I explained the situation and how we have some allergies, and they took the time to listen and go over all the details. They then recommended Steve who is the go-to guy when it comes to allergies as well as other things related. We set up an appointment with Steve, and Steve arrived early. He set up his equipment and was very mindful about making a mess as well as getting things dirty and wet. He took his time to explain as well as show me what was going on and answer all my questions. Because of allergies Steve took his time and made sure each vent was cleaned as best as possible. The things I saw in the ductwork were scary, which had built up over the years of this property. After he was done, we swapped the air filter and within 20 minutes of running, I could smell the difference in the air. The air felt lighter and did not have a heavy feel. Also, my air purifiers were not reading off the charts anymore. Steve did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend him as well as Twin Cities Furnace Cleaning. I ended up getting their Ultimate cleaning or whatever the highest one was, and compared to other places, it was cheap. The price you pay for what you get is a bargain. It ended up being $541.00 with tax and worth every penny.

My claim was declined. The insurance company required unrealistic things like a photo of the space prior to incident showing the hose in place. Who takes pictures of their furnace? This resulted in a costly last-minute repair to my ceiling. Essentially this means that you are at the mercy of a potential crappy insurance policy carried by the contractor and that the owner takes no personal responsibility for potential damage.

DUCTZ of NE Metro St. Paul

Very disappointed with our experience with Ductz of NE Metro St. Paul.We were referred by Vickie…read morefrom MN Mold and spoke directly with the owner, Terry, to schedule our appointment. During our call, he assured us that Ductz wasn't one of those companies that advertise a low price and then surprise customers with unexpected add-ons. We had only minor mold in our attic noted during inspection, and Terry confirmed that using Microbiocidin would be unnecessary and excessive for our situation.When the technicians arrived, they asked what needed to be done--which immediately concerned me. I had to ask if they had a work order to follow. After completing the air duct vacuuming, they casually mentioned that a "chemical smell" would fade in about 15-30 minutes. I was shocked--why was there a chemical smell at all? They had sprayed the ducts with chemicals, exactly what Terry told us would not be done.Within minutes, my nose started burning. I had to take my cats and step outside for fresh air. I called the company and spoke with Andy, who tried to reassure me that the chemicals were safe because "hospitals use them." That was not comforting--especially when the odor was so strong we couldn't stay inside our own home.The technicians themselves admitted that the smell was unusually strong because half of our heating system is radiant, meaning they used the same amount of product in half the usual airspace. One of them even said it could take 2-3 days for the smell to dissipate--completely different from the 15-30 minutes I was told earlier.Despite leaving windows open all day and night, my daughter coughed throughout the night from the lingering fumes. The experience was awful from start to finish. I was also surprised that the technicians still planned to clean the dryer vent, even though I had confirmed with Terry during our phone call that this service wasn't necessary and should not be included on our invoice. I would not recommend Ductz of NE Metro St. Paul to anyone--especially if you or your family have any chemical sensitivities or respiratory concerns.

This is a great company that was referred to me by Vicki at Minnesota Mold. Now that I have had…read morethem out here to clean our ducts, I would not use anyone else to do it. They are reasonably priced, very knowledgeable and have a lot of integrity. They sent Richard and Jacob out to clean our ducts and those guys were awesome. They really went the extra mile to clean the furnace, and dryer and our ducts. They even pointed out a few problems they saw with our furnace so we were aware of it. If I could, I would give them 10 stars.

Suzanne is detailed, quick to respond (even on the weekend, I found!), and carried us along in the process. We were able to schedule the appointment in perfect timing for our inspection period. Brian is thorough, knows codes exceptionally well, and is willing (albeit at a respectful distance during COVID) to take you through his inspection step-by-step, answer questions, and offer advice within reasonable parameters. The process prior to the inspection outlines the stipulations of the inspection, what is possible and what is not possible (such as when accessing a sealed attic, which is not possible if it is sealed). The report that Brain develops makes him stand out from other home inspectors. It is comprised of labeled photos, with digital markups, and many, many written pages on issues that came up during the inspection, details on areas where he was not able to provide a full inspection (such as invading by cutting into a wall), and plenty of details on how to proceed once (and if) you become the homeowner. That, and the massive 300-page book he (might!) give you on how to operate your home from top to bottom, makes his service very worthwhile. We are also glad we ordered the Radon test, as the results showed us we need to act on it when we move in! Overall the inspection has given us great confidence in making a purchase on our home. Thank you, Brian and Suzanne and Block by Block!

At the inspection, Brian was very friendly and professional, and spent much longer than scheduled walking me through everything. He taught me about things to look our for as my home aged, labeled every single pipe in my utility room with little ID cards, and gave me a home ownership and maintenance book (a GIANT one) with tons of great information for me to learn how to keep up my home. I am extremely happy with my experience with Brian!
