Reviews
Erik Nelson has been my first call for plumbing issues for a few years now on a few rental properties and my own residence. They have consistently given me good service and are reasonably priced.
I had ENP install a new laundry tub. Nick and John did a fantastic job. They demolished the old concrete one and saved me from making huge mistake installing a cheap one I had leftover from my home’s previous owner. They wore masks, socially distanced and showed great respect for us and our home. This was my third time hiring ENP. The quality of their work is high and I recommend them to all.

ENP exceeded our expectations. They were courteous, responsible, and professional in communication, had very reasonable prices. Jaran and Justin were great to work with. Would definitely recommend them and hire them again.
After getting a $900 estimate from Bonfe to reset a leaking toilet, I called ENP. They came out the next day and fixed it for 1/3 the price of Bonfe. They were on time, professional, and, as a bonus, local to the Longfellow neighborhood. I would definitely recommend this company for your plumbing needs.

I am extremely impressed with this company. They got out quickly, charged a fair price, and the plumber they sent out (Simon) was friendly, knowledgeable, cleaned up really well after the job and was just overall awesome. I will 10000% be using ENP for my next project.

We can’t say enough good things about Erik Nelson Plumbing. We’ve had them do a number of jobs for us in our home, including replacing our hot water heater. They are efficient, knowledgeable, easy to work with - they do an all around excellent job!

Erik Nelson Plumbing is the best. My main drain in a 115-year old home needed total replacement. Adam (master plumber) and assistant Tim were totally professional dealing with past patches and tight places. Besides doing a great job they cleaned up so nicely. I’d happily call them again. --Shirley, the homeowner
Shirley's daughter posting this for her -- she was very pleased with the work and the service, and as her daughter who visits regularly, I am thrilled with the good work they did on an old house and how friendly and helpful they were.

Erik Nelson Plumbing is the best in the Twin Cities. They are reliable, trustworthy, transparent about their work and costs, and they are just a genuine pleasure to work with! You can’t go wrong hiring them.
I cannot recommend Erik Nelson Plumbing enough! From the initial consult to job completion, Erik and his crew were friendly and professional, and - most of all – competent (which has not been my experience with some other plumbers in SW Minneapolis). I had a somewhat complex kitchen sink venting issue, which was causing the sink to drain extremely slowly. One of Erik’s plumbers (I forgot his name) came out to diagnose the problem, and he presented me with multiple solutions and the pros/cons of each as well as the work that would be involved and an estimate of time and costs. Plumbers Adam and Andy did the actual repair, which was completed within the estimated timeframe and within the established budget. They kept me informed throughout the repair (I wasn’t able to be present during the repair) to make sure I clearly understood and approved of the scope of the work. The guys clearly know what they’re doing – the sink passed inspection and it drains perfectly now (a night and day difference). They had to work in very tight spaces, and their work quite frankly looks like an engineering marvel to me. I will use ENP for all my plumbing needs going forward.

I had a bathroom faucet that had been a problem since I updated my old pipes to copper. I ordered new parts but never got around to fixing it. More than I could handle. Adam did a fantastic job assessing the problem step by step and explaining as he did the work. I am so grateful for Adam's attention to detail and willingness to fix the problem. Thank you Adam, you are AWESOME!

Exceptional work, we were very confident with the quality of the pipes installed. Would definitely use them again.
When my home inspection revealed the need for a main line sewer cleanout, Nick and Adam handled the job thoroughly and professionally. They secured the line, installed the access point and cleaned the area when they were finished. Both of them were friendly, knowledgeable and answered all my questions. They did a great job.
I was exceptionally impressed with the amount of care, thought and information given during the job. Not only did they correct my broken outdoor faucet, but they also helped me understand what had caused it to do so, since it was only a year old and had been drained in the fall. The estimate and pricing were logical and fair, and the plumber was efficient. After some unfortunate prior experiences with plumbers, a friend recommended this business. I plan to use them whenever I have future issues, and with a 100+ year old house that's likely to be sooner than later.

We've used Erik Nelson for 3 projects (replacing galvanized pipes to increase water pressure in a bathroom, leaking kitchen faucet, leaking pipe in basement) and we've been impressed every time. They respond to phone calls promptly, show up on time, do an excellent job, are careful with our home, give estimates that are accurate, and are generally good people we enjoy working with. I recommend this company with no reservations.

We could not be happier with the job the guys from Erik Nelson did in our basement. They worked hard for 5 straight days, were on time everyday and kept the jobsite clean. Without Jaron's help I don't think things would have turned out the way they did. Thanks!
You know when someone says they have a go-to local plumber? For me, Erik Nelson Plumbing has become that plumber. They won me over when they expertly replaced all of my homes corroded galvanized steel water pipes for modern pex piping. It was a multiday project and, as often happens when you dig into a 100 year old house, required some on-the-spot decision making. The end result was great, from the grunt work to the fine finishes.
I had a positive experience. I was able to get a same-day appointment for a tub spout leak. Nick came and found 2 additional leaks and fixed all 3. He also took the time to explain to me what he was doing so I learned a little bit about plumbing too. Reasonable pricing and thorough work. I’ll definitely call again when I need plumbing help.
Adam and apprentice Carly did a fine job replacing our leaking faucets. They even found a leaky drain pipe and fixed that, too. Good company, good people! 😀👍🏼
ENP was very professional, friendly and attentive ! They took all necessary steps in this Pandemic 😷. We will definitely use them again!

Update_ Owner followed up with me again and apologized for the first not so great encounter. I wanted to keep money in the local neighborhood was the reason for the call to this business. I appreciated the rapid response to rectify the first encounter.
The Owners Customer service is HORRIBLE. I was very calm and He tried had an attitude and began to tell me by guessing that it would be 4 hours to repace a Laundry tub thats already Up to code. I just wanted a replacement. He wouldn't even let me speak. I was not confrontational. Every job is NOT about money itself, it should be about the customer FIRST. Please get your Attitude better. Thanks!

I must say I am rarely inspired (and/or impressed enough) to jump online and extol the service I've just been provided for fairly routine home upgrades or maintenance. However since purchasing our home two months ago, we've now called on Erik Nelson Plumbing twice for installation of a new water line for a refrigerator and replacement of a water heater. They not only completed the work as advertised but generously agreed to look at and rectify several other minor plumbing issues we had in the house. He and his colleagues are exactly as described in other reviews - professional, honest, skilled, and very knowledgeable. I am 100% satisfied with all aspects of both visits and after a less-than-satisfying visit by a competitor, their superiority is clear in every regard. I can't recommend them highly enough.
I have used Erik Nelson Plumbing for several projects at my house and have found their work to be of EXTREMELY high quality and would highly recommend them. Nick & Adam did outstanding work in removing my old, leaky bathroom faucet and replacing it with a new replacement one I had previously purchased. It works great and now I have no more leaks! The work was done so well AND AFFORDABLE that I called ENP back and had Adam repair my leaky toilet as well. Adam was extremely professional as he prepared a written estimate prior to any work being performed. At the conclusion of the project, Adam's estimate was well within his intiall price estimate range which he provided me BEFORE he started any work. He also did a great job of explaining everything in his estimate. Highly profession service and extremely high quality of workmanship.

I called for a gas line repair and they came within the hour and completed the work very quickly. They bill time and materials, but the estimate was exactly what I ended up paying. The crew was professional, clearly explained the work that was done, and answered all my questions. Highly recommend!
I am in process of finishing a workshop space, but the soil stack was square across the middle of the room, and I would constantly bump my head into it. The service to our kitchen sink was also not done properly, as well as the venting. Erik's crew came in and fixed all of it, making sure everything was up to code and tucked away. Any additional work, costs, and considerations were communicated immediately and in high detail, so there were no surprises at the end. In the end, I now have a kitchen sink that blasts water and drains efficiently to a soil stack that doesn't cause any concussions (and looks great too!)

Encyclopedic knowledge, arrived when they said they would, and left the areas neat and -- most important -- working again. We've finally found a plumber we can rely on.
Erik Nelson plumbing came out to fix my claw foot tub — they were on time, courteous and I thought the price was reasonable considering all the work they had to do. It was a complex repair and they handled it no problem. I will be using them from here on out.

I needed a diagnostic on some pressure drops in my water system, as well as a new water heater install. From the initial phone call to the end of the install, I felt that the process was painless and that all communication was honest and transparent regarding the work that might need to be done and what it might cost. Jaron & Tim showed up to do the diagnosis and install, were extremely pleasant to work with, clear in all communication, and understood the exact concerns I had with my plumbing problems. The work looks good after the fact, and Jaron suggested some things that may need to be looked at down the road, with a good faith estimate. I will not hesitate to call Erik Nelson Plumbing again, as I couldn’t have had a better experience.

Can't recommend the folks at ENP highly enough. i had a re-pipe done and not only is the system working great, but it's looking great, too. John was super helpful and informative throughout, and the cost of the project was well within the estimate given!

If you are looking for honest, hardworking, and reliable plumbers, then Erick Nelson Plumbing is the place to call. They have performed nothing short of miracles updating the plumbing in my 1910 vintage home. I felt very comfortable having Erick’s plumber’s in my home. They are always courteous, polite, and kept me informed of any obstacles and the related costs. They always cleaned up before leaving. These are the kind of hard-working people we need to give our business to and support. I highly recommend them. -Frederik Frost-Mpls., MN.
These guys are very professional. They did a great job with a complicated water heater installation.
I highly recommend Erik Nelson Plumbing! My husband and I had the team over to fix some minor issues (leaky showers, wobbly toilet bowls, etc.) and they were incredibly professional from start to finish. They were on time, explained exactly how they planned to address each problem (and updated me if they had to change up their approach), and gave me an honest estimate up front.
Not only that, but what we assumed was a minor issue in our master bathroom toilet actually turned out to be a much bigger problem that might have caused us a lot of trouble down the road if it wasn't brought to our attention. I'm grateful that they flagged it to me and gave me an action plan/estimate for a project if I want to move forward with getting it fixed - absolutely zero pressure to do so, just helpful information. I had such a positive experience with this team and will 100% use them for all my plumbing needs moving forward. It's such a relief to know that I have a reliable service to turn to!
Great experience, quick fix but something I would have never figured out! I highly recommend these guys!

Erik Nelson Plumbing is kind and considerate. They helped me with plumbing concerns at my mother’s home. Trustworthy and conscientious.
These guys are great. We had them remove all of the galvanized piping from our house and replace it with pex and copper. They were fantastic to work with (easy to get ahold of, punctual, provided us with options without applying pressure), fairly priced, and they did exceptional work. Would definitely use them again for any plumbing jobs.

We have used Erik Nelson Plumbing for years. They are always professional, communicative and know the plumbing space. We have jobs done such as bath tub, toilet repairs, pipe damages, etc. Great company
I was in a time crunch to get a few random plumbing things checked off my list from an inspection for the sale of my home. This company was very professional and prompt with their service. When a new part was needed and we really got down to the wire they accommodated my situation and we’re able to get everything done in time including coordinating with the city inspector. Would definitely recommend/use again!

Top Notch Plumbers. I've had both major (collapsed sewer line in basement) and minor (outdoor faucet needing replacement) done by Eric Nelson Plumbing. They explained the job and answered my questions, along with giving an estimate, ahead of time. Professional.
Very responsive, professional, worked efficiently, explained things well, re-installed a mis-installed (by someone else) toilet with skill and quality materials. Did a great job. Will call them for plumbing needs in the future.

I needed some major plumbing updates done on my turn of the century home. Justin took the time to provide explanations of everything that needed to be done and provided a detailed bid.
Nick and Jaron spent multiple days at my house on this project. They were always prompt, efficient with their time, and always kept everything clean and tidy along the way. On top of this, they were both super friendly and willing to explain the decisions and options throughout the project.

These guys are outstanding! Hired them for my kitchen remodel which featured running a vent and drain in an island on the 2nd floor of my duplex. I literally had 3 plumbers come look at and say something along the lines of you're gonna make me take out my code book aren't you? - and then pass on the work because it was too complicated. Justin from Erik Nelson didn't bat an eye and knew exactly how to make it work from the get go. I got a very fair quote that they came in UNDER when it was all said and done. They were also more than professional and kinda almost too organized where I feel like they might be using some sort of performance enhancing drugs. 100% recommend and they have my business for life.
Very professional and good quality work.

We bought a 1926 house with the understanding that it would require major plumbing work after our inspection. We got bids from 3 different plumbers, and Jaron from ENP was impressively thorough with the quote. The quote took a lot longer than expected because the house had a lot of quirks, and ENP charges for quotes. It was the lowest quote and the most thorough. We hired him to come in the Monday after we closed, and he and assistant Tim fully revamped our plumbing in 5 days during a snowstorm. They brought absolutely everything up to code, helped us select new fixtures and a toilet, and took care of many issues beyond what we discussed in the quote. Because of several unanticipated issues with the plumbing and us choosing some more complex upgrades, we went over the original quote, but Jaron talked us through each additional component and made sure we wanted to go through with it. All was very fair and we got a lot of great features that we weren't originally planning to do now. At the end, he walked us through the whole job and explained every component and what we needed to know. The job site was meticulously clean and organized. We'll be using Erik Nelson Plumbing for all our future plumbing needs. Thank you so much!
We have use Erik Nelson Plumbing for two projects. In both cases the crew was professional, thorough with explanations of the work, provided accurate estimates, and did the work correctly the first time. No complaints.
Provided several detailed estimates for various plumbing projects. Arrived on time. Ended up replacing a toilet and showerhead the same day. Two days later, the tank on the new toilet was filling intermittently, and they came back out that day and fixed it free of charge. Thanks for the great customer service!
My entire experience with Erik Nelson Plumbing was great. I described my issue to Nick when I scheduled my service and he found the most appropriate team to address my problem. Erik (the owner) and Jaron came to the house and gave me an estimate and described what the job likely would entail. I had a broken vent pipe in my upstairs bathroom that need to be replaced and reconnected to my main vent stack. I also had them replace all of the remaining galvanized pipes in that bathroom as well. They had to open the wall in an adjacent bedroom to make the repairs. I was very happy with their work and they left the work area spotless. The final cost came in below their original estimate. These are good guys and I highly recommend them.
Great experience with Justin and the apprentice Andy. Had them change a shower valve and shut off valves for sinks and toilet. They arrived on time and were efficient, but not rushed in their work pace. They cleaned up and everything works great. I live in a 1920's Mpls bungalow, which always presents some issues. The work involved opening up a wall and improving on former homeowner's handyman special work. Everything is much improved and done correctly.

We hired Erik Nelson Plumbing to analyze and repair a serious mistake done by a previous tradesman. Jaron and Nick studied the problem with care and not only installed a required component but determined that an expensive replacement recommended by the previous service was not required. Saved us a bundle. Also did excellent work, explained what was done and did all the finishing touches beautifully. We will use Erik Nelson for all our plumbing needs going forward.
We have found our forever plumbing company, ENP LLC!
Professional & courteous from our first enquiry - their rates are transparent, fair & and an honest value.
Their was a very slight delay due to Erik Nelson's post-holiday Corona virus precautions, and I commend Erik for his ethics of putting the safety of both his employees & customers above all else.
And Bravo to ENP for the prompt, professional way his employees solved our nagging plumbing problems & cleaned up afterwards.
Job well done!

Just can't say enough good things about ENP. First class people, first class work and first class service. Great communication. Friendly. Arrived to the minute when they said they would. Finished a big sewer job an hour early, and declined my payment for the full hourly amount, even though they richly deserved it. The plumbing assistant even used her down time to check and repair our dripping facets, without being asked or charging extra. This is old school service. Sure you might find a cheaper hourly rate, but you get what you pay for. You will not go wrong with these outstanding folks. Highly, highly recommended.
Erik Nelson's crew did a great job on our 93 year old home, fixing a tub leak that drained into our kitchen. They were friendly, professional, cleaned up beautifully, and protected our carpets and floors. They explained the job, price point, and time expectation and were in and out. Would definitely recommend.

I had ENP install a new water heater for me, and it couldn't have gone more smoothly. My calls were promptly returned, everything about the install was explained very clearly and their pricing was transparent. They showed up exactly on time both for the estimate and for the install, got the work done in the time and price that was estimated. Small attention to details like bringing their own blankets to lay down all the way from the back door to the water heaters so as not to dirty my floors impressed me. I hope I don't need any plumbing done soon but if I do I'll be calling them!
Erik was fantastic in helping us design and install pretty much everything in our small remodel. Gets things done fast, high quality, nailed teh inspection, everything was as you'd hope. Highly recommended.
We have worked with Erik Nelson Plumbing several times over the past 2 years during our basement remodel in our old Minneapolis house. We've had them dig up and move a floor drain, remove unused plumbing, and add new plumbing. After every experience with them we're left with the feeling of, How is it possible to enjoy working with a plumber that much?
Everyone we've interacted with at ENP has been friendly, knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and just overall excellent to work with. Jaron is especially great. We find their prices more than fair especially for the high quality work they produce. We'd never consider calling anyone else for future plumbing issues.

In the last two months, I have had Erik Nelson Plumbing work on 4 different things at my house. They worked on my kitchen sink, 2 bathroom sinks and on the pipe that feeds my boiler. They handled each of the 4 jobs with care, and did an excellent job deciphering problems and coming up with solutions. One of the jobs, on our upstairs bathroom, involved fixing some custom work that had been done a few years back. They didn't miss a beat - and immediately found compatible parts from a company in California. In fact, the replacement parts were better than what we previously had. John, the plumber that worked on all four of our jobs was also extremely pleasant and professional. It was clear that he cared about his work. I normally don't write reviews but this company is a cut above.
I would recommend Erik Nelson Plumbing. Very professional and excellent work. They repaired the leak, added new pipes and new shut off values.

Justin did a fantastic job. I summarized my problem and emailed it to Erik. Erik was able to give a ball park estimate and it was a good price. The job came in a little over the estimate, but Justin did much more than I expected. And here's the kicker. The price came in at less than one third of what a name-brand plumbing outfit wanted!

Erik, Justin, and the crew were amazing! Very quick to respond, they were able to come to our home and assess the issue within a day of contacting them, and they were very efficient! Everyone we worked with was kind and respectful especially during this “stay at home” environment. They wore masks and other protective gear in addition to other precautions taken as they were in our house. I look forward to working with them again on future projects!

We contacted Erik Neslon Plumbing with what we thought would be a small repair. With their knowledge of older homes and plumbing systems it was quickly realized that the repair would be more involved. We were impressed with the creative solutions to repair and replace damaged parts of our antiquated plumbing system. As friendly as Adam and Simon are, while we don't anticipate needing to call a plumber again anytime soon, if we did we would certainly call these guys right away.
Used them for leak detection and repair. Great service, fair & transparent pricing, friendly & helpful plumbers - definitely recommend.
Charges a crazy fee for quotes. Only plumbing company I've encountered who does this.
After leaving this review someone from this company emailed me with an unprofessional incredibly passive aggressive tone.
This review is accurate. This plumbing company charges for quotes. Most others in the metro area do not.
Want to spend more and get passive aggressive? Go with this company!
Edit two: Do you want to work with a plumber who uploads your correspondence to their website if they don't like you? LOL. The unprofessionalism continues. While you're taking the time to read the correspondence, notice how he isn't transparent with pricing up front? Also take note that he wants to move it to a phone conversation as quickly as possible? Nothing like a contractor afraid of things in writing.
John Engler and his assistant Andy from Eric Nelson did a wonderful job getting two broken faucets fixed. Positive attitude, humor and good knowledge and reasonably priced. I highly recommend these guys.

Very much appreciated their sanitary protocols during this odd time. Great price and quality service. Highly recommended. Will be going to ENP for all future plumbing work.
I cannot recommend Erik Nelson Plumbing enough. The were the best tradesmen I worked with during my kitchen remodel. Responsive, fair pricing and overall great work. They went above and beyond what we needed.
Both guys were great at communicating what was going on, and were very knowledgeable. I called them about a leaking toilet, and they also ended up also fixing an issue I was having with a the sump pump, so got two problems solved at once.
Thanks neighbors for recommending Erik Nelson Plumbing. I am tickled at the 4 jobs they completed at my house in August 2019. Replaced my leaking bathtub drain, installed new bathroom and kitchen faucets, and removed the old garbage disposal. Done! They exceeded my expectations for a bit less than I expected to pay. The plumbers were courteous and explained everything well - and cleaned up nicely after themselves. And they back up their work! Well done.

Last Thursday evening, I saw black mold and water bubbles on the dining room ceiling! Looking for a Longfellow-local plumber, I found ENP. They picked right away, and John came out early this week, located the source of the leak, and cleaned up the mess. He was personable, professional, and considerate. Two days later, he returned with a coworker to replace the burst lead pipes and remove the old toilet, replacing it with a low-flow toilet that was better seated in the bathroom. The dining room floor and bathroom are now cleaner than they've ever been, and I have names for two different contractors who can sheet-rock the ceiling. The final price was lower than I expected, too. Wow! Happy? YOU BET!

Service call was much earlier than expected. John, the technician was excellent. Repair was more complicated than I imagined and I am so happy I didn’t try to tackle it myself.

Jaron and Justin replaced my toilet and repaired a more serious, unexpected problem on the same visit. They were friendly and professional and it was a pleasure seeing how much they enjoyed their work. They are my go to plumbers.

For us the idea of calling a plumber to fix anything is terrifying and we drag our heals because you know it’s going to cost way more than it should and get knocked around with sketchy service — NOT the case with ENP! Very responsive, quick service, friendly and super fair price. I 100% trust calling ENP in the future.
Erik Nelson Plumbing recently completed a full re-pipe of my house. Adam and Simon were excellent throughout the full process, providing a transparent range of options to choose from. ENP was able to fit me into a tight schedule and worked diligently while here. Even with discovering and fixing an additional issue the work came in at the low end of the estimate. It's an easy decision to use ENP for future projects. Thanks!
After being burned by some of the 'big box' plumbers in this town, I did more research and found a lot of positive reviews and word of mouth testimonials regarding Erik Nelson Plumbing. What everyone said was spot on. Simon and Nick were professional, thorough, and respectful of the space. They explained everything completely at the end of the day, and went above and beyond to leave the space even cleaner than they found it. Most importantly, the work was done for what I feel was a VERY fair price. Don't hesitate to use Erik Nelson Plumbing next time you're looking for a plumber! You won't be disappointed!! Thanks, guys!
Great job working in our basement to repair a leaking pipe to the outside spigot. Explained what the problem was, fixed it and installed a new outside spigot. He also took the time to explain what to do in winter, which we already do but my hubby has dementia so it was good he told me (and left direction.) Also repaired a leak under my bathroom sink. Everything was clean and neat when they left. Also he had a young woman apprentice, which was nice to see.
Erik Nelson Plumbing LLC is the BEST! I own two old houses in MInneapolis that have both required many plumbing updates and fixes. Before I was introduced to Erik Nelson Plumbing, I called another plumber that quoted me three times more than Erik's price. Erik Nelson Plumbing is fairly priced, responds quickly to calls, has excellent customer service and fixes plumbing issues masterfully. I recommend Erik Nelson Plumbing to everyone/anyone that needs a plumber.

I had them come out during our recent kitchen remodel to install a gas hook up for our new stove, a water line for our new fridge, a garbage disposal and sink line, and a new outdoor faucet. They showed up on time and were straightforward with the explanation of work and cost. They also provided great recommendations of things that should be replaced without any pressure. The worked quickly and professionally. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend Erik Nelson Pluming to anyone who needs work done.

I love Eric Nelson Plumbing and will never use another plumber. I have used them 4 or 5 times before and always been happy, but their latest service was above and beyond. I had a broken fridge and a new fridge delivered. The guys who delivered the fridge told me my kitchen doorway would have to be ripped out to get the new fridge in. Also, they broke off the copper water line when pulling out the old fridge and I had to go without water. Jarod and Nick came in, moved the old fridge out, down icy steps, fixed the water line and installed the new fridge without ripping out the doorway. I was so relieved and grateful! They were professionals. Courteous, friendly and knowledgable. Five stars.

ENP are true pros, they really care and gone above and beyond for me on projects I’ve used them for.
I needed help moving a vent pipe to open a wall in my older home. I don't want to compromise my art for universal appeal. Don’t want to be mass consumed. I’m not a happy meal. I’m gonna do the things that I wanna do. I ain’t got a thing to prove to you. So I called Erik Nelson Plumbing where they treated my project with a personal touch. They said if you blew it, don’t reject it. Just sit drawing up the plans and re-erect it.
Adam and Tim from ENP were extremely courteous and professional. I called home when I thought they would be about halfway done and my wife said, the workers are going home, the workers are going home! They had finished in half the time I had expected and were under budget.
If you’re wondering if I want you to call Erik Nelson Plumbing, I want you to. So make the move cause I ain’t got all night.
Thanks Erik Nelson Plumbing!

John and Karly came out to inspect a leak, they were FAST, friendly, didn’t try to convince me more work was needed when it wasn’t. This company cost less than HALF of other local companies to do leak detection, and came out same day when an opening became available. And their standard rate was $40/hr cheaper than other companies. I know where I’ll be calling next time I need work done. Shop small, hire this crew!
Super professional, their estimate was accurate, and they made sure to walk me through options for anything they ran into and made sure I was not spending money unless it was needed. Would totally recommend.

My shower was having serious water pressure issues, and the temperature was very inconsistent. I chose this plumber based on FB friend recommendations, and I'm so glad I did. John was professional, efficient, friendly, and explained everything clearly. No mansplaining whatsoever. 😉 Thank you for the great service!

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.
These guys were fantastic in every way. Professional work, timely service and fair pricing. Thanks ENP!

Simon and Isaiah came over today to fix my leaky shower and I could not be more impressed. They were quick but through and keep us informed about potential future issues. My mom has also used them in the pasted and raved about their work! I would highly recommend their services if you ever have any plumbing needs!!

Nick and John were prompt (actually early), professional, and provided quality work. They left the work space as clean, if not cleaner, than they found it. They were very personable, too and made sure all our plumbing needed were met.
Updated review: third call (we bought an old house, so it was inevitable), third awesome experience. Nick arrived right at the beginning of our call window, did an awesome job, explained each step of the process (clearing out a tub drain), and left our bathroom cleaner than he found it.
Thanks again!

Absolutely worth the wait!
Unless you have a plumbing emergency, Erik Nelson Plumbing is worth the (COVID-19-induced) wait, and even then, they're still probably worth it. Adam clearly communicated when he would arrive, and although he ran into a few issues with our old house, he got the job done with impeccable service and at a reasonable rate. I hope that we don't have to see them for a while, but if/when we do have plumbing issues, Erik Nelson will be our first call. Full marks.
These guys are the best. They do great work, have fair pricing and they thoroughly explain everything.
Really excellent service on a complex job reworking a drainage pipe for a washing machine. They did a great job! Highly recommended!
Professional and helpful!
Had my shut off valves replaced to my washing machine with up to date easier turn off valves. Loved working with John who was super nice, very knowledgable and added an additional suggestion for our condo buildings main shut off valves, really appreciated his extra time with info regarding that.
I will use them again if needed.

I called Eric Nelson Plumbing because my bathtub was not draining. I called them late afternoon and Nick from Erik Plumbing came the next day. He quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem. They also provided a proposal if I decide to create a permanent fix to the problem. I recommend Erik Nelson Plumbing.
I can't recommend Erik Nelson's plumbers enough. I've now worked with them twice on semi-emergencies: one a frozen pipe last winter and more recently a badly leaking tub drain. Both times they went out of their way to make room in their booked up schedule for next-day fixes. The communication around scheduling via text was excellent and incredibly convenient. The plumbers were friendly, informative, and professional (bonus points for loving my dog). They resolved the issues promptly on both occasions. I won't hesitate to call them again next time I need plumbing work done.

Ron the Sewer Rat could not unclog a drain. To get to it, some pipes had to be rerouted. On their rec, we called Erik Nelson.
I got texted back within two hours. Two very professional gents showed up the next day. We got everything done on time and under budget.
Oh, and they replaced our ancient wall-hanging toilet with, um, one that actually worked.
I was expecting an angry guy in a grubby T-shirt and a bill for a lot more money.
It's an old house. Erik Nelson is on speed dial.

I needed a simple and quick fix for my piping going to my washer. Erik gave me a fair quote, stuck to it, and went above and beyond with the job. My family just moved to the Longfellow neighborhood and we will definitely be calling Erik again for our next plumbing emergency!
Erik Nelson Plumbing has come out 3x during the pandemic for us. They were quick, reasonably priced and did an excellent job all while being respectful of our covid safety expectations. I highly recommend them!

Fantastic plumber. We had a drip turn into no hot water and then into new pipes and holes in our walls. It was a tough process for which we were not prepared. Erik did a great job answering questions, returning phone calls, trying easy and free ideas, and explaining every step of the process. He was on time, on budget, courteous and professional.
They communicated extremely well, arrived right on time, diagnosed the issue and provided two possible solutions immediately, and then did the work as described on the spot. Couldn't ask for more!
Erik was on time, communicated the appropriate amount and oh yea, he was HALF as much as my first bid. He also did a great job of creating a plumbing solution for my 1920s home which required a maze of pipes. Fully recommend Erik and his team.

We recently had a cascade of plumbing issues in our 110 y/o Minneapolis home, starting with a bathroom faucet coming loose and leaking. This was on a 1/2 bath install from 2011 that included what we quickly came to realize was a poorly installed (not level) 1/2 bath sink.
We called ENP for addressing replacement of both the sink and the faucet. ENP was helpful and timely with suggestions of replacement products and we could not be happier with the new set up. The bid was accurate and follow up excellent; we were never left hanging in regards to timeline.
For the same project we added on 2nd floor tub shower faucet replacement, shower grab bar install, and the somewhat bittersweet replacement of our singing toilet which had its guts replaced and is no longer melodic. In addition while working the plumbing team found and repaired a tiny leak in the copper piping hidden behind the tub wall, and noticed and suggested we add or replace two sets of shut off valves. ENP checked with us every step of the way and informed us professionally regarding choices and recommendations.
The price was fair for the two craftsmen in our home most of the day and with so much accomplished.
Jaren and Nick were a pleasure to have in the home, respectful, quiet, cleaned up etc. absolutely no issues.
Tim did a great job replacing the garbage disposal and associated plumbing. I highly recommend this business for all your plumbing needs.

2nd time working with ENP and we had great service once again! Jaron and Nick replaced our very, very old toilet and a sink repair. They were professional, thorough, fun and kind! Took all the covid precautions. We will likely see them again with having a 100+ yr old home! Thanks!!

We’ve used Eric Nelson Plumbing for all of our plumbing work since we moved to Minneapolis 7 years ago. Their work has been uniformly great. This time we had the remaining galvanized pipe replaced. Jaron & Nick straightened and simplified what had been a mess of pipes. We appreciate the attention to detail they gave to this project. Highly recommend ENP!

We had a leak in the pipes of our kitchen sink, along with problems with our dishwasher. Erik Nelson's team fixed the problem in a efficient, affordable, professional manner. We were given a quote, a timeframe and updates along the way while they fixed our plumbing problem. I would recommend them to everyone, they are honest, they do quality work, there were no surprises and they are affordable.
I've hired ENP twice. First for a service call and more recently for a remodeling project. It's awesome to find a tradesman who is passionate about his work. The methods and materials used were second to none. Not only was the finished product good, but the area was left completely clean(A minor detail but all to often lacking in the building trades).
If you're looking for a master plumber that is meticulous and detail oriented, look no further.
I'm very happy with Erik Nelson Plumbing. I'm in a 1920s age building and I found that the steel sink vent pipe had come apart with a 1 gap letting sewer gas into my kitchen. The pipe was in poor shape almost up to the roof. They replaced the pipe and all the connections. They arrived on time. They gave an estimate which was basically what it ended up costing. They were clean and neat. I think that these guys are less expensive and more polite than the big name plumbers. I'd use them again.

ENP diagnosed main drain leaks and venting problems. Gave me several options to repair and replace the old metal pipes with PVC and bring it all up to code. They gave me price options I could afford. The team- John and Carly we’re expert! Hardworking! Honest! They took time to answer all my questions. I’m beyond pleased!

These guys came to my house: on time, completely prepared, practiced safety protocols to the letter, were kind, knowledgeable, took their boots off at the door, worked in tandem very well together, fixed the issues quickly, cleaned up as well as I had it before they came, and made my bathtub look newer than when they came. They did AMAZING QUALITY work! I would recommend them for any plumbing needs hands down. Thank you so so much!

The good folks at ENP have been amazing to work with. We found them simply by word of mouth and then looked at the reviews. We were sold. We are owner operators of a s mpls duplex built in 1957 with all original plumbing. Interestingly enough, we have never used anyone else, nor have we called anyone else ever. This means we have never felt the need to shop it out for pricing.
As a salesperson myself, I know that people buy from people that come through for them. Also, they buy from people they like. We will only ever use ENP for our plumbing needs. Each job we have had them do has been professionally done and they come over with a great attitude. I have also personally met Erik as he came to help shovel out one of their vans after the big snow recently. All of this completely reinforces my satisfaction and excellent customer experience. It is a family run business that does excellent work at a great price. What more could you need? What’s that? Guaranteed work? There is a 1 year warranty on the work that they do.

I had great service from Justin. He did a great job; was very professional; and explained everything clearly. Even though I spent more than I had expected – not above what was quoted, though – I felt like his suggestions and concerns were warranted. At no time did I feel pressured or swindled. Thank you for making this experience stress-free. I'll be calling again for future services.

In March, 2020, I discovered a major venting issue in a recently purchased home. Justin was clear and thorough in his explanation and outline of work. He worked with me to let me do the wall opening and old pipe removal to keep the costs down. John and Nick completed the work quickly and professionally. Also they were able to repair a small gas leak discovered while they were on site. Project wrapped up in 2 1/2 days. I would definitely recommend the company.

Nick and Adam came out to take care of a few things for me and were great!
For many years now, since our previous house needed emergency electrical work after a storm we have had a great relationship with our electrician. We can trust him to be straight, fair and reasonable with us.
I've always looked for a similar relationship with a plumber. We've had a variety of experiences with plumbers but haven't found one we can trust that takes good care of our 100 year-old house.
I can safely say we finally have this with Erik Nelson plumbing. Today they came in to install a faucet in our bathroom and were timely, straight with me and reasonably priced. They explained what they did and even put on new shutoff values without needing to drain the house.
They fixed a drain on our tub and brought it up to code.
Nov. 23, 2021 update:
We had a shower faucet handle that was covered under Kohler warranty. They replaced it and showed me how it was done.
There was a leaky laundry tub faucet that they were able replace and upgrade the shutoffs and add hammer arrestors.
Nick and Tim did a great job and a little under the cost we originally thought it would be.
April 4, 2022 update:
ENP just installed a new water heater and again came in a bit below what I expected. They also took the time to explain the features of the new water heater.
Absolutely excellent professionals. Looking forward to working with them for years to come.
