"AJ Alberts is hands-down the best plumbing service in Woodbury. This was my third or fourth time working with them, and they continue to earn my complete trust. They offer highly competitive, job-based flat pricing (not hourly) and never pressure you into upsells...."

"Ryan was professional and very diligent in checking that the shower faucet was working properly after installation. He did not bolt for the door the second he finished the job. He worked clean wearing shoe protection and cleaning up everything after he finished. The price was reasonable. 1s time I have used AJ Alberts will definitely call them in the future."

"My house is getting to be old and so I have found it necessary to hire AJ Alberts Plumbing five times in the past five years for various repairs. Their employees have always impressed me with their politeness, knowledge, good advice, and diligence, and the quality of their work has consistently been excellent. I am happy to report that my experience with master plumber Kevin these past couple of days regarding a laundry tub pipe leak has also been very favorable."

"Thatcher is a wonderful Service Technician who has been to our home multiple times for varies repairs. He is pleasant, friendly and most importantly very capable. He diagnoses the issue, informs me what needs to be done, and efficiently puts together a quote. He does excellent work which he stands behind! We have been using AJ Albert’s since they installed our plumbing when we built our home 26 years ago. We wouldn’t use anyone else!"

"I knew I needed plumbing waste line upgrades and then discovered a boiler and water heater were also needed. I then tried to get bids from 3-local contractors with good reviews. Immediately during the bid process Jason from A J Alberts Plumbing gave me great confidence in their ability to do the job and answered all my questions. After receiving bid proposals, it was an easy choice, A J Alberts gets the job. The boiler and water heater were masterfully replaced by Jason and Tyler...."

"We just had a whole house water filter installed this week by Kevin. He completed it in less than 2 hours and fully explained how it works and what to expect. He cleaned up the work area and we couldn't be happier with his work. Love how our water tastes now."

"Ryan came by and checked our water softener to make sure it was running. It was not, he got the softener back into working order. Nice and efficient! We appreciate him stopping by."

"AJ Alberts was responsive and very professional from the first call. Not a call center, real people directly representing the company and its technicians. Alex Elliott our technician was so courteous and informative. The original price quoted was accurate and final even though more time was required to resolve the issue."

Questions Homeowners Ask Us

Plain answers from the Woodbury office. For anything else, call 651-738-0580.

Do you offer same-day plumbing service?
Yes, during business hours (Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM). Most calls are handled the same day or the next day, and active leaks, burst pipes, sewer backups and no hot water move to the front of the day. If you call after hours, leave a message; it is heard first thing the next business morning. The emergency plumber page covers what to shut off first.
Which areas do you serve?
A.J. Alberts is based at 7975 Afton Road in Woodbury and covers the East Metro and the St. Croix Valley every day, western Wisconsin including Hudson and River Falls under Wisconsin license 226456, and the west metro and Lake Minnetonka communities by route. Every city page names the plumber who covers it.
Is the water test really free, and what does it test?
Our free basic in-home water test checks hardness, iron, chlorine, pH, alkalinity, and total dissolved solids, with nitrate testing for private wells. It does not measure PFAS or certify that water is safe to drink. A.J. Alberts offers separate paid laboratory PFAS testing for municipal-water and private-well customers. We collect and submit the sample and explain the report. Confirm the test scope, price, and turnaround when scheduling; PFAS is not included in the free basic water test.
Do I need a water softener in the Twin Cities?
Not automatically. Municipal water across the East Metro is hard to very hard on the USGS scale, but the reading that matters is the one at your tap, and some homes already have utility or household treatment. The free basic water test measures your hardness; if softening makes sense, licensed plumbers size the system from that reading and your household water use, and there are no commissioned salespeople.
How does pricing work?
A plumber diagnoses the problem and gives you the price in writing before any work begins. There are no commissioned salespeople, so the recommendation is not tied to a sale, and when repair and replacement are both realistic you get both prices side by side. Installations carry our lifetime craftsmanship warranty.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Minnesota plumbing license PC150039 and Wisconsin plumbing license 226456, with general liability and workers compensation insurance. Ten licensed plumbers work out of the Woodbury shop, five of them master plumbers.
Can I request a specific plumber?
Yes. Ask for a plumber by name when you call or book. Many of our plumbers live in the cities they serve: Jason Wallraff in Hudson, James Walker in Lakeville, Tyler Schauer in Forest Lake, Dan Pearson north of White Bear Lake, Luca in Edina, Ryan in Ham Lake and Alex in Coon Rapids.
