I manage a portfolio of apartment properties, so I’ve worked with a lot of plumbers over the years. Chris Wynn at Paul Bunyan is one of the best I’ve come across. I brought him in for a full basement finishing project at my home — and the scope was significant. Completely unfinished basement to rough-in ready in under a week. That included relocating and replacing the water heater into a new room (a genuinely complex job — Paul Bunyan sent out a full crew to get it done right), plumbing a new bathroom from scratch, installing a floor drain near the HVAC, plumbing a washer and dryer, and relocating shutoff valves. A lot of trades have to sequence properly on a project like this, and Chris kept everything moving. What made it work was his communication. He coordinated around my schedule throughout, stayed reachable by text when questions came up mid-project, and always had a straight answer. No callbacks, no surprises — just solid execution from start to finish. That’s what I look for, and that’s what I got. I’ll be using Chris and Paul Bunyan on future projects, both at home and professionally. Easy recommendation.

I had a 20 year old kitchen faucet that was in desperate need of replacement. It was more of a task that I did not have either the tools or expertise to install new feed lines that also needed to be replaced. Serghei arrived at the appointed time and did an excellent job!! He was able to replace the feed lines and install the faucet I had purchased earlier believing it was a task that I could handle 😆😆 Highly recommend Paul Bunyan for your plumbing needs.

We had an outstanding, comprehensive experience with Paul Bunyan Plumbing & Drains. Our need started with a leaking water heater, and when I called to ask about a tankless option, they scheduled a visit for the very next day. Tom arrived promptly and spent over two hours thoroughly assessing both the interior and exterior of our 120-year-old home. The basement plumbing was old and complex, but Tom took the time to fully understand it and clearly explain everything to us. His expertise with older homes immediately stood out and gave us confidence we had chosen the right company. He presented multiple options at different price points with zero pressure—his focus was simply on helping us find the best solution for our needs. We ultimately chose a larger project that included re-plumbing the basement back to the city meter, upgrading to a tankless water heater, and installing a whole-home water filtration system. Given the amount of aging galvanized steel in the basement, it made sense to address it now rather than face issues later. We also opted for filtration due to the high chlorine levels in Saint Paul water. After moving forward, Colton and Dmitri arrived the next morning and got to work right away. They were fantastic—completing the entire project in just a day and a half. They communicated clearly throughout, worked efficiently, and left everything clean when they finished. They even went above and beyond by fixing a few unrelated issues at no extra charge, including a leaky kitchen drain, a loose gas pipe, and some additional galvanized plumbing connected to the boiler. My wife and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Our basement plumbing is no longer a concern, the tankless water heater performs exceptionally well, the water quality has noticeably improved, and our water pressure is better than ever. We’re incredibly grateful for the professionalism and expertise of Tom, Colton, and Dmitri, and we highly recommend Paul Bunyan Plumbing & Drains for any plumbing needs.

We had an amazing experience this morning with Brittny! She was very kind, considerate and understanding of young pets and children zooming around our home. She did a great job evaluating the issue and took the time to create a plan of action which fixes our issue/concern professionally and was manageable in our budget for the repair. She was very knowledgeable and able to answer all our questions. I'm very grateful to have our outdoor water spout and hoses are working to keep our landscaping looking nice. Thank you so much and it was great to meet you :)

Pricing is high, shop around. The plumber that came by was nice and very courteous. He was snaking/scaling the pipes but another issue on the plumbing I wanted looked at he said that there were other techs that would be a little more experienced and he set up one to come by, which I thought was great. They stopped by later that day and had some good suggestions and quoted some repairs. They charged me another $89.00(Visit Charge) for that visit, which I would say is part of my original request. If the Tech that comes by needs help quoting my job not sure why I'm charged to for that. The workers were great, but pricing was high. I should have got other quotes. Follow up Paul Bunyan did reach out to me after seeing my review and did say they would refund me the $89.00 extra visit charge.
