A.J. Alberts Wins Best of Woodbury 2026 for Best Plumbing Services

A.J. Alberts Plumbing has been voted a Best of Woodbury 2026 winner for Best Plumbing Services by the readers of Woodbury Magazine. It is our second year in a row earning the honor, following our 2025 win, which makes us a back-to-back Best of Woodbury plumbing winner. The award is decided by community votes rather than paid placement, so to us it is the highest compliment there is: our own neighbors put our name at the top. Thank you, Woodbury.

We got the news this week, and it stopped us in our tracks. For the second year running, the readers of Woodbury Magazine have named A.J. Alberts Plumbing the Best of Woodbury for plumbing. We are proud, we are grateful, and honestly, we are a little humbled.

What is the Best of Woodbury award?

Every year, Woodbury Magazine runs its Best of Woodbury program, a reader-voted awards contest that spans dozens of local categories. The magazine is mailed monthly to about 10,000 households across Woodbury, and the winners are chosen by the people who actually live here. No panel of judges, no pay-to-play. Just neighbors voting for the businesses they trust.

That is exactly why this one matters. You can buy an ad. You cannot buy a community’s vote. When people take the time to nominate and vote for their plumber, they are telling you something real about the work.

You can see the full list of local winners on the Woodbury Magazine Best of Woodbury 2026 winners page.

Two years in a row

This is the part we keep coming back to. We won Best of Woodbury in 2025, and now again in 2026. Back-to-back. In a metro with no shortage of large plumbing companies and national franchises, our neighbors chose the locally owned shop on Afton Road two years straight.

We do not take that for granted. Every year you have to earn it again, one job at a time.

Why this recognition means something for your home

A Best of Woodbury award is a nice trophy for the wall. But if you are a homeowner deciding who to call, here is what it actually signals about the company behind the badge:

• No commissioned salespeople. We never have and never will. Nobody on our team earns a bonus for talking you into a repair you do not need. That is a deliberate choice, and it shapes every recommendation we make.
• Depth on the team. We run 10 plumbers, and 5 of them are master plumbers. When we show up, you get real experience, not a rotating cast of subcontractors.
• A reputation you can check. We hold 4.9 stars across more than 800 Google reviews from real Twin Cities homeowners. The award and the reviews tell the same story.
• Local, and staying that way. We have served Twin Cities homeowners since 1989 and remain locally owned and operated. Steve still lives in Woodbury. We answer the phone when you call.

If you want the longer version of who we are and why we do it this way, our Why Us page lays it out plainly.

A thank you to our neighbors

I want to say this directly, from our whole team. Thank you. Thank you to every customer who let us into your home, every homeowner who left a review, and everyone who took a minute to vote. Woodbury has been good to this company for 37 years, and awards like this remind us why we love doing this work in the community we live in.

We will keep earning it the only way we know how: show up on time, do the job right the first time, charge a fair price, and treat your home like it was our own.

While we have your attention, get your water tested

If you want to understand your water, start with current utility information and the question you want answered. Source-well PFAS readings are not the same as a household tap result. See our water quality resources.

We offer a free basic in-home water test. The free basic in-home test checks hardness, iron, chlorine, pH, total dissolved solids, and alkalinity, plus nitrate for well-water customers. It does not measure PFAS or establish drinking-water safety. A.J. Alberts offers separate paid PFAS testing for municipal-water and private-well customers. We collect and submit the sample and explain the laboratory report. Ask about the scope and price when booking.
