I cant say enough good things about Paul! I live in a S Mpls house, built in 1923, and the plumbing is original. The Monday of Thanksgiving week, I came downstairs to discover that I had water all over the kitchen (which is directly below my one and only bathroom). I remembered that my parents had recommended Paul to me and I called him immediately. He answered his phone (this was around 7:00AM), talked me through the scenario, and although he had a full schedule that day, he moved things around to make time for me. He was quick, efficient and completely respectful of my old house (I have found in the past seven years that there are many service professionals who do not know how to treat an old house well.) Paul reset my toilet, which had become more and more wobbly over the last month, and billed me more than fairly. Unfortunately, I woke up the next morning to another soaking wet kitchen. Although the toilet had desperately needed resetting, the real culprit of the wet kitchen was my SHOWER. A frantic text message to Paul elicited another quick response and before long he arrived, along with a second plumber whom he sometimes calls for 2-person jobs (who was also amazing and friendly), they determined the issue, fixed it very quickly and two days before Thanksgiving, I had a fully operational bathroom and no more wet kitchen. There had been a small erosion in the showers waste water pipe that was allowing the bath water to flow freely out of the back of the tubs plumbing (its an antique pedestal tub with some of the hardware above-floor), across the floor to a small gap in the edge where it meets the molding, and straight down the wall into the kitchen and further into the basement. Long story short (too late!), its been a month and everything has worked perfectly. When my old house decides to have another issue, I will not hesitate to call Paul immediately. He is honest and fair. He tells you exactly what he thinks instead of wasting your time telling you what you may want to hear (refreshing!) I found his billing to be affordable and more than fair. Hes speedy with a diagnosis and gets right down to business--no time wasted. And on top of all that, hes a super-decent guy, SMART, he TEXTS (which is awesome!), fun to talk to and, I have to say, honorable--a quality that is hard to come by these days. I trust Paul and would recommend him completely (and I have!)

I had a plumbing emergency on a Friday and Paul arrived as promised, in the early afternoon. I am partially disabled and the only shower I can access was now useless. My apprehension was that I was at a plumber’s mercy for cost not only due to the urgency, but also because of my choices; I didn’t trust the bigger companies. Being mostly bedridden, its easy to feel vulnerable to dishonest tradesmen and feel like I am an easy mark to take advantage of. The extensive information on his web site helped convince me I was going to be in good hands. An understatement. Paul was very straight forward in his evaluation of the problem and his description of what he needed to do to fix the problem. Imagine my relief and surprise when he handed me the bill for a fraction of the cost I had agreed to at the start of work, because he found an easier way to solve my problem. It is hard to imagine me finding any other plumber with this level of integrity. I really cant recommend Paul and Athena Care any stronger and encourage all to engage him with total confidence. Thank you and have a great day.

Paul is not only a great plumber, but also a nice person. I originally met him when he repaired plumbing at a duplex I used to rent. He did all the plumbing repairs for my prior landlords. When I bought my own home and ran into some problems, I knew I was going to call Paul at Athena. He was always so helpful and considerate at my old rental. I had a shower drain repair gone bad and called Paul. He offered to alter his plans a bit and come that very same day. That didnt work due to my work schedule, so we scheduled in the very near future when it worked for both of us. He came out and was able to remove a piece of PVC that was trapped inside a cast iron fitting in a very tight space. He then offered to finish putting the drain assembly back together. He also sold me this cool "water alarm" which is similar to a fire alarm, so I could tell is there were future leaks in this hidden area. He did this all at a very fair, competitive price. I wouldnt hesitate to use him again for any plumbing needs!

I had a kitchen sink leaking into the basement and outside along the foundation. My house was built in 1940 and the pipe in question was inside the wall. I blindly searched for plumbers in the area dreading the experience as related to unknown cost etc. Upon reading reviews and taking to friends I decided to try Athenacare. Paul was frank and to the point with an over the phone assessment. He fit me into his schedule, showed up exactly on-time, and proceeded to tear into the issue. After a few hours of work, the offending pipe was replaced, and the issue fixed for good. Paul was consistently conscious of cost, kept me informed of every step, and completed the job expeditiously. The end result was a kitchen drain pipe replacement including the "T" on the ventilation stack and a drain that has never functioned so well since I bought the place 7 years ago. Paul set expectations, then beat them, for a concise delivery of Customer Satisfaction at a very reasonable price!

Im a young homeowner who has very little experience with plumbing and upkeep of the home. Just recently, I had a pretty common problem with a leaky faucet that ended up causing a puddle of water underneath my sink. Being the oblivious homeowner newbie, I freaked out calling my local Hardware Store for advice. They recommended that I call Paul Jursik, stating that he was a no nonsense plumber who tells it like it is. I took their advice and was extremely pleased. Paul helped me diagnose the problem over the phone and helped solve my problem with relative ease. Best yet, because he was able to diagnose the problem via phone and he saved me $100 for a service call. In a day and age of greedy human beings, Paul Jursik clearly defies that notion. I am very pleased with his straightforwardness and overall service, and will definitely call him in the event of futher plumbing issues.

We were extremely impressed with the services provided by Paul Jursik at Athena Care Inc., and would strongly recommend him to anyone. He responded to our call for help in a timely manner and immediately helped us sort out the necessary repairs and provided a spot-on accurate estimate for what it would cost. He generously explained at every turn what he was doing, making his decisions clear and demonstrating the necessity of the choices in terms of practicality and safety, while avoiding unnecessary ones and saving us a *lot* of money. He was also clearly conscious of working as efficiently as possible so as to not add unnecessary time to the clock. He was friendly and trustworthy, his estimate was accurate, and there were no surprises. One doesnt see this level of excellent service everyday and we would not hesitate to use his services again or recommend him to others.
