Editorial Review
Our Take on Jake The Plumber
Jake The Plumber's reviews read less like a business and more like a trusted neighbor, including a story about the owner helping a caller for free over the phone and another about him showing up on his lunch break. That personal touch comes with the limits of a small shop: weekday-only hours and a single owner's schedule.
Best for: homeowners who want a personal, single-point-of-contact plumber

- John Rogers4.0Hired to hire two new toilet seals. Initial estimate done by website/email and had me take pictures of the work needed. Quote came back $400 under competitors. Took a bit of phone tag to get thing scheduled (that's my -1 star), but work was top-notch and plumber did not quibble on the extra 30 minutes or so needed for the job to be completed. Extra $20 for additional materials, but expected that. Good work, Meyer! Will return to this if any follow-up needed.September 2026Google
- Debra A5.0Jake's plumber Rick came over and replaced all of the innards in my two Gerber toilets. The toilets were both running (leaking). He was efficient, gave me great tips on DIY maintenance. Very positive experience - I will call Jake for any plumbing I want in my home!July 2026Google
- Jonathan Acquaye5.0I needed a plumber quickly because the pipe under our kitchen sink started leaking right before we left for a weekend trip. The technician arrived within a couple of hours, replaced the damaged section, and double checked the connections before leaving. It gave me peace of mind knowing we wouldn’t come home to water damage.May 2026Google
- Erik Davis5.0Jake and his crew did amazing work for my family, including a whole-house re-pipe, replacement of a water heater, and more. I trust this team and will call them again for any future needs. STRONG RECOMMENDApril 2026Google
- River Anderson5.0A family member was having a drain snake issue. Jake talked to him on the phone and helped him fix it without any charge. After that he had his company out to install a new toilet, sink, and bath faucets. This really impressed me so I went to him to get a new tankless water heater installed. The plumber was familiar with the fixtures in my house which is similar to the houses in south Minneapolis. He was polite and cleaned up when finished. If you have issues with your plumbing or are upgrading, I would definitely recommend calling Jake the Plumber.March 2026Google
- Crista Lynn5.0Honest, straightforward, competitively priced, timely, and friendly techs! I recently had them out to repair a bathtub faucet, a leaking toilet, and to install a new water heater. I’ve used their services in the past at a relatives home and nothing’s changed with their great service from then until now. Thanks Jake the Plumber!!December 2025Google

About Jake The Plumber
Jake The Plumber runs a small, owner-involved plumbing operation out of the Longfellow neighborhood in Minneapolis, with a 4.6 rating from 126 Google reviews, read September 17, 2026.
What separates this company from the larger outfits on this list is how personally Jake himself shows up in reviews. One customer said a family member called about a drain snake issue and Jake talked them through fixing it over the phone at no charge, then earned a full toilet, sink and faucet installation job afterward. Another reviewer with a copper pipe that failed inside a wall said Jake came out during his own lunch break to help. Customers who start with a small repair, like replacing the innards of a running toilet, often return for bigger jobs: a whole-house re-pipe, a tankless water heater install, or a kitchen sink leak fixed the same day it was reported.
Because Jake The Plumber is a small operation, response speed can depend on his own schedule rather than a large dispatch team, and the company keeps standard weekday hours rather than round-the-clock coverage. Jake The Plumber does not list a license number, warranty terms or free estimate policy on the pages reviewed.
Who it suits: homeowners who want to build an ongoing relationship with one plumber they trust rather than whoever a large company dispatches. Who it suits less well: anyone with an after-hours emergency, since hours run Monday through Friday only.
Before booking, ask for the Minnesota plumbing license number, confirm pricing before work begins, and ask about scheduling lead time given this is a smaller operation than some others on this list.
