Erik Nelson Plumbing was the first time we had someone work on our house. We bought our house in 2022, and before we could move in, there were a few things we needed to get fixed in our bathroom. We needed to reset our toilet, unclog our shower drain, and fix some pipes under the floor. They were in and out in one day and left our bathroom clean. They were extremely responsive and came quickly. They also were extremely communicative, letting us know what was going on with our house, what they needed to fix in the bathroom, and how much everything cost. They also gave us some recommendations on next steps. I would recommend this business for anyone with small to medium sized job. read more

Competent, fast, excellent work, easy communication. Maybe not the lowest price, but worth it.

Had a leaky clawfoot tub trap - I reached out to ENP on a Monday and had someone in my place by Thursday - it wasn't an emergency, but it was nice they could get there rather quickly. Justin talked through expectations over the phone and had a good idea of what was going to be needed. Team (Adam & Tim) showed up on time and did a great job - covered the bathroom with drop cloths, kept things tidy, explained what they were running in to, what it would take to fix it and got it done. I added on a couple of extra tasks for them since they were already here and they did those as well. Price was as expected (plumbers are expensive) but fair. I told them I hope to never see them again, but I'd definitely have them back if/when the time comes. read more

I see now why these guys get five star reviews! Consummate professionals, I was very impressed with everything from the scheduling person who answered the phone (Justin) to the person who came to do the plumbing job (Tim). They weren't available immediately, but we had to wait less than a week to get someone in, and they budgeted enough time to get the job done the same day, so the estimate and the job ran seamlessly. I felt Tim was very respectful of our time and our home, and extremely honest and personable. We think the end price was fair, and we are very happy with the work done. We will be hiring them again very soon for another really gnarly plumbing issue! Ahh, the joys of home ownership. read more

These guys are the best plumbers in Minneapolis. We moved into a 100 year old house and had a variety of plumbing issues, and we saw a lot of different plumbers. Erik Nelson has always provided the most competitive pricing on bigger projects that we've gotten multiple estimates on. Their pricing is always fair and good value, and they always do good work. They are now my go to plumbers whenever possible. read more

Hired Erik Nelson Plumbing to replace some of the drainage leading out of my bathroom. They were everything you want from a plumber: upfront, honest, punctual, professional and fairly priced. I would have no reservations hiring them again to do future plumbing work. read more

Highly recommended! Total professionals. The initial contact with Justin was always clear, and all calls or texts are promptly answered. Repairs (two smaller jobs with Adam; one large one with Jaron and Tim) were finished on time, and in the case of the large job (complete kitchen sink drain replacement into the basement floor), well below the estimate. At every step, these people have great communication skills, do quality work, and understand the special challenges presented by older homes (1928 in our case). Excellent! read more

Whoa --- if you need plumbers ... you need these guys! Great experience! We're recent transplants to MN, as well as first time homeowners, and I feel we have locked in our plumbing service for as long as we have pipes and water running through them :) From my initial call to the service itself. ENP was very honest and open about my options for installing a new water heater on the phone, very personable. The service appointment was also exceptional - everyone wore masks the entire time and were very courteous. All surfaces were wiped down with alcohol cleaning solution when they were done and they left my basement area cleaner than when they arrived (maybe an Erik Nelson Cleaning service is next??). Even though installation itself threw them some curveballs, they tackled them without issue, and everything has been up and working great since then. I can finally take a full bath and the hot water keeps coming! I remembered a few other random plumbing things (clogged drain, and a question about some condensation) and even though I am sure my install had taken longer than anticipated, they made time to address those issues and answer my questions too! Bravo Erik Nelson plumbing, bravo. read more

Had a leaking pipe and Erik Nelson Plumbing quickly diagnosed the cause and had it fixed quickly! They were on-time, easy to work with and very respectful. They were also thoughtful about the best way to fix the leak. I would recommend! read more

We were very impressed with every aspect of their work, starting with the initial phone call. The communication was excellent and the plumbers were on time plus did their work efficiently. They are a very professional compan. read more

I've worked with a decent amount of plumbers and contractors, these guys are great for installation work. Easy to schedule, fair pricing, correct permits with City of Minneapolis inspector connections in a pinch. I'll definitely try them if needed for a plumbing emergency too, knock on wood. read more

I had a great experience with getting an outdoor water spigot with shutoff valve replaced and floor drain unclogged. They were on time, friendly, professional, educational, and did a quality job. I highly recommend them and will continue to do business with them in the future. read more

Great communication and very reasonable with labor hours. I would not hesitate to use them again.

This crew is skilled, friendly and professional. They took care of a list of issues for me. Will definitely hire again!

I thank the stars for Erik, who is to plumbing what Yoda is to the Jedi. He's a wizard with plumbing problems large and small. I've hired him twice now, and besides his real skill I sincerely appreciate his cheerful Zen demeanor even when he's getting doused with raw sewage. If you've read Matt Crawford's book "Shop Class as Soulcraft; An Inquiry Into the Value of Work" you might recognize Erik as one of those men who take pride in a job well done, and who won't screw you over. That's pretty rare. My only gripe is that he's increasingly busy, with good reason. read more

Responsive. Honest. Fair prices. Great bedside manner. Trustworthy. Professional . I had Erik attach a new gas dryer recently. He made great recommendations on how he'd change the layout and the final work looked outstanding. Finished in the amount of time he estimated at the price he estimated. Very solid. read more

Erik elevates the vocation of plumbing to a fine art. And he does it at a reasonable price. I have one of those lovely Minneapolis bungalows that I'm sure he sees plenty of. The first time I enlisted Erik, my main drain stack had finally started to corrode through after about 90 years of faithful service. He was sensitive to the issue of budget and made sure to offer me a solution that could limp me along for a few years, but also made it clear that for a few extra greenbacks, I could get the Cadillac of drains. As I am wont to do, I opted for the latter. A year or so later, I called Erik back to fix up the supply side of my plumbing situation. He extricated a rat's nest of copper and steel that represented 90 years of amateur and professional patch jobs and replaced it with beautiful, clean runs of PEX. My house will likely never need a single bit of plumbing work ever again. I recommend Erik to anybody that needs plumbing work. read more

Good plumber, good guy. I had some very simple stuff that needed fixing: the tub spout diverter was broken and the showerhead needed replacing. After wrestling with the tub spout, I found it impossible to remove. Erik removed it in about two seconds. He replaced everything, including the showerhead with one I purchased at Target. In less the a week the WaterPik showerhead fell to pieces (flying off the pipe and sending water everywhere). Erik was kind enough to research other brands for me, send a recommendation, put on a temporary showerhead, and then come out again and install the new one without charge. That's integrity for you! He is responsive, a straight shooter, and skilled. read more

Erik did a great job replacing my 1922 awful leaky laundry sink ! Came within his quote that he gave me online...friendly and quick. Glad to have a plumber like this in the Metro Area! read more

We've used Erik Nelson's plumbing services twice now, and we've been thoroughly satisfied. He's on time, he's respectful (covers his shoes with little bootie things before coming inside), and he does good solid work. And we know he's not jacking us: his rates are very reasonable, and he even came in under his estimate by about $60 last time! His payment policies are easy peasy; you can pay online with a credit card, which has been incredibly convenient for us. Erik is very personable, and clearly knows his stuff. He seems to be in high demand, though, so I recommend calling far in advance for routine work. I can't speak to his ability to show up for emergencies, as both of our issues were not urgent. But I will certainly not hesitate to call him when we need him again. We've definitely found *our* plumber. read more

I have had Erik do a number of jobs for me over the past year. Everything from a simple dishwasher hookup, to installing a backwater valve in our basement. He has been fast to respond, easy to deal with, and has fair prices. I have recommended Erik to others for their plumbing needs in the past and continue to do so today. read more

I cannot continue to recommend Erik Nelson Plumbing enough to anyone and everyone I know who needs a plumber. Erik is fast to respond, fair priced and fixes what needs to be fixed right the first time. In addition to some emergency service he did last March he recently moved a toilet for us (a task which required more work than my brain could even fathom doing itself) and using the bathroom at home has never been better. Erik Nelson. Best. Plumber. Period. read more

If one can have a favorite group of plumbers, this is mine. Everyone I've worked with has been so professional and delightful on a personal level. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. read more

I selected ENP after reading the reviews on yelp.com and I was extremely happy with the service. Erik arrived on-time and talked through the consultation with me. He answered all my questions and was very patient. We arrived at a solution that will help me with a remodel I am planning in the next year. The price was higher than originally planned but we agreed on it before he did the work and it will save me money later. He left my house as clean as when he arrived too! I was VERY IMPRESSED and I have recommended him to friends since my service. read more

Just yesterday, I was telling my brother how I wish I knew a plumber to call about a sink disaster we had in our basement. I checked out Yelp for a clue and found Erik Nelson Plumbing. I'm sure glad I did. Erik arranged to come the very next day (exactly when he said he would) and fixed everything I needed and then some. He also unearthed what had once been a pipe inside one of my walls that was the actual source of a problem I thought I had fixed myself. I've done plenty of amazingly amateurish plumbing myself... enough to know that his work is anything but, clean and spot on. It is exactly why I am glad I called him instead of trying to fix it all myself. Do yourself and your pipes a favor. Leave it to Erik Nelson Plumbing. read more

Awesome experience! John and Blake came over today to fix a leaky bath and help with few other projects. They answered all my questions in a way that I could understand and the pricing was straightforward. I would not hesitate to call Erik Nelson Plumbing again in the future! read more

What does mother nature give to the new home owner in MN? Frozen pipes of course. I came on to Yelp and saw the different reviews for plumbers. We decided to go with Erik Nelson and we are glad we did. First of all, he is a local small business guy. So we are supporting the local economy. Second, he is really reasonable even for an emergency visit. Third after he viewed our pipes, he fixed the problem and then offered solutions to on how to keep it from reoccurring. He came back and did the work. It was very reasonable and looks so far like quality work. I would definitely recommend him to a friend. read more

We had a clogged drain and ENP was able to come out the same day and fix for a reasonable price for a thorough and friendly job. We'll be calling them next time we need a plumber. read more

I totally echo all of the positive reviews and comments about Erik and company. My disposal sprung a leak last night. I left a voice message for Erik. He called first thing this morning. Justin came out this afternoon, gave me a written quote, replaced the disposal, tested it and the price came in less than we thought. Great service! I would totally use them again, and would gladly recommend them to friends and family. read more

When I called I got their voicemail which stated the next available day for service...I loved that. It sets a tone for customer service and communication that they lived up to when scheduling and completing the job. Andy and Adam were prompt, friendly, and on-task. They did a great job of installing a new hot water heater and were right on with their pricing estimate. I would recommend them to anyone. read more

Twas the week before Christmas.and all through the house....was the dripping of a shut off valve in the basement. Eric responded (as in called AND arrived) to my call within 3 hours. Very professional, friendly, and efficient. You know how you always feel like you have just been taken advantage of.......you won't have to feel this way if you call him. Can't recommend him highly enough! read more

Very happy i found this independent, small plumbing business. Erik is a local guy who is responsive, helpful, and willing to let me watch and learn from his expertise when he's on-site. I'm terrible at plumbing and have hired him twice to work in our basement and each time he was happy to walk me through the problem and give me advice for any future problems. His pricing is reasonable and his work is high quality and he is personable. Very happy to recommend him. read more

I can't help but be cliche; honest, friendly service. These guys are the solution for anyone worried about getting overcharged or lied to. Adam and Justin came right on time for our appointment, quickly assessed our problem and solved it even faster. They were both very pleasant, professional and even dog friendly. They also utilize smart phone apps for payment so it's quick and easy. Beyond that, I'm happy to hire a small, local company and I hope they continue to grow. I'd recommend Erik Nelson Plumbing to anyone. read more

Super happy w their service. John was on time, friendly, efficient, and kept the work affordable. I would recommend them to anyone and will probably go to them first next time I need help. Thanks guys! read more

I have tried to request service twice from this company because of the great reviews on Yelp. The first time, they didn't get back to me for several days after I left a voice message. The second time, I was inquiring about a leaky tub and they assumed I would want the work done right away, so suggested I "look elsewhere". In fact, I was fine with waiting, but wont be waiting around for poor customer service. read more

I have no idea why everybody else on this system seems to think this company is awesome and reasonably priced. They came, they did their job, nothing extraordinary as far as I can tell, and the RATES ARE NOT CHEAP which is what the other people published here on Yelp implied in their ratings. Of course, maybe it would have been different if Erik came. It was some other guy. I would say average service and nothing to rave about. read more

Erik was superb. Honest, fairly priced, enjoyable to work with and a true master of his craft. Called him and left a message that our water heater had just failed. He called back within 15 minutes, and was over in an hour to begin draining our natural gas water heater and disconnecting it. This was in mid-afternoon, so could not get a same day delivery of the new water heater, so Erik set up a deliver for 8:00 the following morning. At 8:00am exactly Erik and the water heater delivery guy appear, new heater is installed and heating by 10:30am that morning. Erik replaced all values, used extra heavy copper piping, and replaced our flimsy aluminum vent hardware with much tougher steel, though he did not have to. He tested and retested until he was sure all gas, water and vent connections were in tip top running condition, then instructed me on operation. First class work, extremely happy. He is solo, so he may not be able to be as fast as he was with us, but Erik is the guy to call for quality work at a fair price, not easy to find in the plumbing business. Thank you Erik. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this company. I spoke to Eric on the phone about a water heater that needed replacing. He was very professional and straight-forward. Justin was the technician who actually came to do the work, and he was excellent. He was very informative and as he was working he gave me tips about the plumbing in my house and how to fix some things myself. The price estimate from ENP for the water heater was $2000 cheaper than the estimate I was given by Bonfe plumbing. When all the work was done, the total price was right in the middle of the estimate they gave me at the start. I am very satisfied with the quality of work and the price. I will definitely be a loyal customer to ENP. read more

This is not a review about their actual work because they never called me back. I left a voice message my name, my issue, and my phone number. After two full days, I never received a call back. Maybe they deem they're too busy and have enough customer now. I have all other plumbers with good rating on Yelp and Angie's List and got a response within the day. Imagine if I have an emergency plumbing issue, this place would not be on my list. read more

These guys were responsible, respectful and friendly. They were good on the rates and followed through. I will definitely use them again.
