Editorial Review
Our Take on Erik Nelson Plumbing LLC
Erik Nelson Plumbing has built one of south Minneapolis's strongest review records by explaining costs plainly instead of upselling, evident in both its 4.9 rating and its repeat detail in reviews about pricing transparency. The tradeoff is weekday-only hours with no weekend coverage.

- Todd Williams5.0Thank you for the great plumbing work. John installed a new toilet for us and did a nice job. I will be hiring you again. Todd WilliamsSeptember 2026Google
- Dave Eckblad1.0Really poor quality work. They work with blinders on and don't care about how their work affects the rest of your project. They made multiple obviously poor decisions without consulting me that left my project in a bad place. I decided to have another plumber remove their low quality brainless work after Erik Nelson offered to charge me more to fix these obvious mistakes. Their warranty is meaningless. Never again.August 2026Google
- Colleen OMalley5.0Erik Nelson Plumbing did a great job fixing a burst pipe and put improved winterizing parts in place. They explained everything and gave me price options for different levels of repair. The technicians were very polite and professional. The rates were very reasonable. I will definitely call them for all future plumbing needs.July 2026Google
- Sean Foster5.0Great experience. Their voicemail very clearly explains their services and how they operate. Justin called me multiple times as we played phone tag to set up a quote. The guys that come over gave me pricing for two versions of the job I was trying to get done and helped me talk through my options. They left to head to their next job, which ended early, so they called me back to see if I wanted same day service. They knocked out the job quicker than expected and the final cost came in under the quote. Friendly and respectful from start to finish. Thank you all!July 2026Google
- Nick Thompson5.0I hired Erik Nelson plumbing to replace my water main shutoff valves, replace supply lines in my basement and leading to my second floor, and install new shower plumbing. Their plumbers were very knowledgeable, professional, and detail-oriented. They were considerate as well. They needed to cut multiple holes in my walls to access supply lines, which is very dusty work, but kept my house as clean as they found it when the job was done. They were great with my pets and family. Prices were fair and transparent. I'd absolutely hire Erik Nelson Plumbing again.June 2026Google
- Ryan Clark5.0Wish I could give you guys more stars! Extremely helpful in helping us out with our rough in plumbing needs. Took great care in understanding our expectations such as incorporating all the fixtures and sanitary pipes, and also helped us reduce our bump out of any new plumbing needs. They did all this while maintaining Saint Paul plumbing code! Highly recommend!June 2026Google

About Erik Nelson Plumbing LLC
Erik Nelson Plumbing LLC has become one of the most consistently praised plumbers in south Minneapolis, holding a 4.9 rating from 227 Google reviews, read September 17, 2026. The company works out of the Longfellow neighborhood on 37th Avenue South and takes on both emergency repairs and larger jobs like repiping and rough-in plumbing for renovations.
What comes up again and again in reviews is how the crew explains a job before starting it. One customer needing a burst pipe fixed and winterizing improvements said the technicians walked through price options for different repair levels rather than pushing the priciest one. Another homeowner, facing a gas piping job, said a different company had quoted $15,000, while Erik Nelson's team explained the actual scope needed and priced it far lower, without creating panic over the customer's unfamiliarity with gas work.
The company handles water main shutoff valve replacement, supply line work, shower plumbing installs, and full rough-in plumbing for additions, and reviewers note the crew keeps job sites tidy even when cutting into walls for access. Service calls run Monday through Thursday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, and Friday until 2:30 PM; the company is closed weekends, so it is not a round-the-clock emergency option.
Erik Nelson Plumbing does not publish a license number, warranty terms, or free estimate policy on the pages we reviewed, so those are worth confirming directly before booking.
Who it suits: homeowners with an older south Minneapolis home who want a plumber that explains options honestly before doing expensive work. Who it suits less well: anyone with a weekend or after-hours emergency, since the company keeps weekday-only hours.
Before booking, ask for the Minnesota plumbing license number (the state licenses plumbing contractors through the Department of Labor and Industry), confirm pricing in writing, and ask whether a warranty applies to the specific work being done.
