Plumbline Builders

Plumbline did an amazing job on our addition and remodel. Roger kept the project moving forward at a steady pace and maintained excellent communication throughout. We were very pleased with the quality of subcontractors who have strong, longstanding relationships with Roger and his crew. The great room/mud room/half bath addition turned out beautifully and the kitchen remodel is gorgeous! I would wholeheartedly recommend Plumbline based on that high quality craftsmanship alone, but what put them over the top for me was all the extras we asked for along the way. Roger is a next-level problem solver that never minimized esthetics even if it impacted timelines. Big things like re-working the stairway railings and changing the swing of the basement door, so I can more easily manage a laundry basket, and small things like extending the backsplash tile to the floor next to the dog dishes, have all come together so perfectly. Plumbline turned our house into stunning updated home!

Great end product with great communication along the way. Could ask for a better partner in this project.

Roger and his team did a beautiful job on our project. It is hard to tell where the addition is versus the existing 100+ year old house. They matched trim and finishes and gave us a much more live-able space.

They recently completed a kitchen remodel and addition. They completed the work on time and lower than the initial estimate. The work is of high quality and they stand by their construction. I have used them two other times over the last 15 years. I have always been highly satisfied!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Plumbline Builders on a major renovation of my home. I was very impressed with their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction. Roger and his team (especially Jeff and Drew) were excellent at communicating with me throughout the project and kept me updated on their progress, answered all of my questions, and made sure that I was happy with every decision. They were also very flexible and accommodating, and they worked with me to stay within my budget. The quality of workmanship was also outstanding. The team was very skilled and experienced, and they took great pride in their work. My home looks amazing, and I’m happy with the results. Overall, I highly recommend Plumbline to anyone looking for a reliable and professional contractor. They’re a great team to work with!

Plumbline was able to professionally manage this major remodeling project during the 2021/2022 supply chain crisis. They kept us updated as delivery schedules changed frequently. They team was responsive and handled questions and field changes smoothly. But most important, their approved subcontractors were excellent: On the site when needed, cleaning up their work every day and considerate of us as we both worked from home fulltime during the project. Great team at Plumbline.

We were impressed with Plumbline from the start. Before bidding on the project, Roger brought in a plumber and an electrician to make sure that our plans for our 1921 house were possible and affordable. He and his team offered great advice as we worked out design and construction details. They respected our opinions and ideas, but weren't afraid to offer alternatives based on their deep knowledge and decades of experience. We did a complete remodel--down to the studs. Plumbline did the demo then put everything back together. Roger did an impressive job of managing the project, even as COVID-related supply-chain issues presented daily challenges. Plumbline changed the size of both windows, including adding a bay in one opening. They installed new doors and molding throughout. They coordinated installation of new cabinets, counters, floor, and appliances. They built two new closets. They rewired and installed new lighting. While they were at it, they also did a minor bathroom remodel, including installing new tile, sink, and other fixtures. They kept the dust and mess to a minimum, and made sure that the rest of our house remained livable. It truly felt like each and every member of the team was treating our home as they would their own. The best thing about Plumbline? Roger is an absolutely great guy. He responded to our many calls and texts quickly, he kept us updated on schedule changes and delays, and he was never, ever too busy to sit and review plans with us and answer our questions. He's smart, insightful, and a true professional. We plan to hire him for future projects, and we won't hesitate to recommend him to our family and friends.

Mr. Sirany (owner) was consistently responsive to our wishes and questions, provided accurate information and keep in contact with us even after the work was completed to ensure all details were completed to our satisfaction. Mr. Sirany listened to our desired plan advising us on how to improve our ideas while meeting our project concept(s). The Plumbline workers arrived as scheduled, were professional and skilled. We are pleased and impressed with the quality of their work and craftsmanship. We are completely satisfied with the finished work and highly recommend Plumbline Builders!

Everything went so smoothly. I would definitely recommend them for any project.

The work was great. They were also good at communicating project progress (this was during covid shutdown) and gave ample notice for schedule changes. The initial estimate provided was the amount charged. During the project I asked for several changes, and they accommodated all of them. Excellent team to work with!

Plumbline builders did an excellent job bringing our project to life. Roger was always available if we had questions and he frequently stopped by to see how everything was going. We would definitely use them again for another project.

We found that the contractor had a lack of attention to detail. A new sliding glass door and window installed requiring additional siding trim needing to be ordered. They could not get the same color and just ordered something without consulting us. Gaps were left around inside door frame for basement door and bathroom door trim at the floor tiles. Backsplash was not evenly spaced and when we expressed our dissatisfaction and wanted it to be redone he refused. The city inspector even noticed and commented on the large gaps. Baseboard trim throughout the kitchen sticks out beyond the corner trim at the edges which should have been angled so it does not stick out. They put up trim board on new doors and some of the trim split and they disregarded and I had to point it out and have them replace it. The stove does not go all the way back to the wall leaving a gap, and we were told that we didn't have to paint back there. All the plans and details of the stove provided should have had the outlet placed in a different location so the stove would be able to be pushed back to the wall. Now we have a gap and can see where backsplash ends and there is no paint. Refrigerator not level and had to be releveled. New kitchen window did not have all parts installed on handle and had moisture and cold air coming into the house. Saws set up in garage without dust collection bags having saw dust on everything in the garage. Placement of can lights in the ceiling not placed well based on where the refrigerator is. They were placed prior to all cabinets being set and was difficult for us to know the proper placement. Noticeable seams where the popcorn was sprayed on the ceiling where there was new sheetrock placed. In all a general lack of pride and workmanship in the subcontractors.

We had Roger and his team upgrade out 1960's kitchen. Our goal was to open up the wall between the kitchen dining room, and make the layout different from what we had . While we could not get it fully open due to HVAC in the wall, Roger got us as much as he could which we appreciate. His cabinet maker came in and gave us some really nice ideas on how to lay out our cabinets, sinks and appliances. We really like the rolling island he recommended. All the workers were very nice, answering all my questions. Roger was always answering my texts/phone calls we had plenty of questions (have never done a major remodel like this before). Their wiliness to help us with our questions, made their team great to work with. I have included a couple of before and after pickups of one side of the kitchen Thanks again Plumbline, talk to you when we start the next project. DGinMN

Plumbline Builders was fantastic! Roger is a consummate professional: super knowledgeable and easy to work with. Pricing is fair and the quality of the work can't be beat!

Very positive experience. Roger and all of the Plumbline associates were professional, courteous, and communicated well. The work was done well and I'm pleased with the finished product. I especially appreciated the safety precautions in this time of COVID. All in all, a pleasure to work with and I'd highly recommend Plumbline Builders.

We moved into an older house in south Minneapolis 11 years ago and have been updating it a little bit at a time. Plumbline Builders have now completed two not-so-little jobs for us. The first was to move and replace all of our upstairs windows. That project is reviewed elsewhere on this site. It went well enough that we selected Plumbline for our latest project without asking anyone else for a bid. They replaced a leaky flat roof and deck over our garage along with all the first story gutters and downspouts. The results are spectacular! Along the way, Plumbline worked with us to keep both the cost of the job and the impact on our lives to a minimum. In a year or two, we will be remodeling our kitchen and we have every intention of hiring Plumbline for the job.

Chronic leaking into the one car garage from a second floor deck was excuse to remodel the garage. They repaired the deck, fixed the garage ceiling, repoured the base concrete and rehung the garage door. Also upgraded/reworked the electrical and fixed some exterior plumbing. They worked with WildFire lifts to place a car lift so we can now have two cares in the garage. Excellent coordinated work,. Professional and friendly team. Excellent price considering we added on some unexpected work.

Roger and his team at Plumbline did an excellent job on installing our small deck off our back patio door. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and got the job done thoroughly, but quickly. It was great to see the design of the deck before they began work on it, to make sure all of us were on the same page. Plumbline is able to do the biggest remodeling jobs, as well as something as simple as a deck, all while still maintaining their level of professionalism. Highly recommend this company for all of your home improvement needs!

We recently completed a complete remodel of the top floor of our story-and-a-half in Minneapolis with Plumbline Builders. It included expanding a half bath into a three-quarters master bathroom, adding a small walk-in closet, adding a small study nook, creating a small seating area, and upgrading all the insulation, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing. A few quick high points: - Roger with Plumbline is a straight shooter and very good at staying in touch. He was good at the sales table and communicating with us during the entire process, which was complicated by starting at the same time as COVID shutdowns in March 2020. - COVID - Plumbline did a great job making it work by separating the project area from the living space with a corridor of plastic and having contractors wear masks. Was it perfect, nope, but it was really done well for a very uncertain situation. - Results - the project turned out exactly as we hoped. The work is quality and worth the price. We’d definitely call Plumbline for future remodeling work (which is saying something because we’re big into DIY). - Roger was flexible with letting us do some of the work, and very helpful in working with us through those parts, e.g. demolition Into the weeds: The project bidding and scoping process was really good with Plumbline. Roger and his designer Jim had good ideas and were also clearly used to dealing with contingencies that come up in Minneapolis homes. We did three or four revisions to the initial plan before we landed on one we liked. They did a great job staying in touch and sticking to timelines. Scheduling was also fine. We were about two months out when we signed the contract, which seemed reasonable. The estimated work time was about eight weeks, which we blew past by about a month. However, COVID threw a major wrench into everything, so all things considered I feel like we did well on time. We did our own demolition, and Plumbline arranged for the dumpster delivery and provided some tips on how to get everything out. We also received a building deconstruction grant through Hennepin County, and recovered a lot of building material that will be re-used, including knotty pine wallboard, doors, light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, carpet, etc. Once Plumbline got in, the clean up and framing proceeded very quickly. The contractors did a great job sticking with wearing masks in our living space and clearly knew their stuff. Insulation was the only major complication. We’d let Roger know that there were rebates available for insulation projects early on, but didn’t realize that his insulation contractor wasn’t certified with the gas utility’s rebate program. To his credit, Roger covered the rebate cost out of pocket. The insulation install almost derailed the project. There were issues with the quality of the work, which everyone acknowledged, but we weren’t able to inspect the insulation before it was covered with drywall, only able to see the problems in the unfinished areas behind knee walls or in the shower. Without getting too much into the weeds, we rented a thermal imaging camera to verify that there were few, if any, trouble areas behind the drywall and Roger worked with us and his subcontractor to fix the visible problems and add additional insulation behind the knee walls. It was the only time the project really went awry and it was resolved reasonably. As we moved toward finishes, the only thing I’d add is that Roger says “I run my allowances high” for things like tile and railings, but our experience was that they were modest. We only came under the allowances once or twice, and ran over a few more, and we lean toward simple and traditional styles. So if you really like marble and quartz and glass, or a fancy railing, be prepared to blow past the quoted allowance. The finished project is excellent, just what we’d hoped for. The bathroom looks great and is very functional, despite having to cram a shower under a sloped roof. The tile work is superb, the woodwork is very good. The plumbing, HVAC, and electrical subcontractors were very polite, communicative, and helpful. We particularly liked Jeff, who handled a lot of the general work and the ending punch list, including some of those crazy, unexpected things. Overall, no home improvement project is perfect, and that’s why we appreciated Roger and Plumbline for being able to be honest and straightforward about dealing with the unexpected. They planned well, kept it together during #stayhome and delivered a great remodel at a reasonable price.

Plumbline did a great job. From my first conversation with Roger, the process went smoothly and he was very responsive to my interests and needs. The work was excellent especially the tiling, which turned out even better than I envisioned. Roger was responsive when I had follow up questions. I would definitely hire Plumbline again!

Met with Roger he took information down and said someone would get back to me in a week or so. It's been over two months, haven't heard a word back from them. Oh well, didn't pay anything, but it seems like it was just a waste of time.

Plumbline builders were excellent to work with. Roger was very responsive, thorough and a great guy! All of his team and sub-contractors were courteous, respectful and a joy to have in our home. I would recommend Plumbline Builders without hesitation.

My husband and I could not have imagined this project going any better with any other contractor. Roger and his team were attentive to what our requests and needs were. They cared about us as home owners and made strides to help us through this construction (we have 4 kids, so keeping our laundry up and running was essential to maintaining sanity in the household). Every step of the way, we felt secure that it was being done with quality and correctly. There was never a moment of question of whether or not something was being completed in the right way. As with any major construction project, there were unknowns we encountered along the way, but Roger was prepared and communicated everything clearly and quickly to us. Our end product was nothing short of amazing. Not only did we end up with an updated kitchen and a new laundry/mudroom addition, we wouldn't go back and change a thing. Everything is perfect, from the layout to the paint on the walls. And, the price wasn't outrageous for what we received. It was in line with the workmanship and quality of the work which was done. When embarking on a project this large and with a large investment, you have to have 100% confidence in the people doing the work. We are definitely going to use Roger with Plumbline Builders again.

For the most part on time, the weather caused some delays but was pretty much on schedule. We very much enjoyed the subs that Plumbline worked with, on time, reliable and did what they promised. They became like family. We love our new kitchen and bath! Beautiful! We have received many compliments from friends and family. Reorganized mudroom makes coming in from garage much easier!

Our experience with Plumbline was very positive. From the very beginning Rog clearly communicated with us about the plan and the costs. We asked for the job to be done by a certain date and he met that request. He was very good about accommodating our special issues, like sensitivity to odors. His crew related to us well and all did quality work. We told Rog the best thing about working with him is that he listened, understood, and took appropriate action.
