I have used Nelson Bros. twice. The second time, I had saved up a list of things to be fixed to make it worth the price of a service call. Rob came out both times- friendly, professional, and fair. He charged for the main job, and then did the other things (which admittedly were quick and simple but not within my scope of knowledge) for free. A competitor who claims to be ""Affordable"" would had insisted on ripping out all the pipes and fixtures and starting over or it ""wouldn't be under warranty"" which would have cost a lot of money.
I highly recommend Nelson Brothers. Cheap? No. Fair? Absolutely!

We had them come out to replace our old water heater. They redid the valve work, vent and piping to make the area look cleaner, more efficient and be brought up to code. Pricing was competitive as they were actually a little cheaper than others in the area. They were also able to come out first thing the next business day after I called. Quick and very friendly. The plumber explained what he was planning to do and provided very accurate pricing and time estimates. We will definitely use them again for future plumbing needs.

The Nelson Bros deserve and earn their excellent plumbing reputation. They are courteous and reliable with great follow up. They communicate well and show up as scheduled. Most importantly, they are also knowledgable around complicated systems. Yes, they are pricier than most but clearly worth avoiding the aggravation from other providers. Highly recommend. Special thanks to our technician Dave!

I found Nelson Brothers on Yelp while I was looking for plumbers to find someone when my mom's hot water heater needed to be replaced unexpectedly. Their quote was reasonable and competitive, they were able to come and do the work quickly, they were on time and very professional. There were no additional fees or charged tacked on and they took the old unit away. We would definitely call them again if we needed any plumbing work done, they were wonderful to work with.

Thank God for Nelson Brothers and for Doug! These guys know their business, and did major damage control after one of their competitors jacked everything up at my house. I don't know if thank you is good enough, but these guys went above and beyond for me and I am most grateful.

Ive had Nelson Brothers to my home a few times. Replaced a garbage disposal, unclogged a basement drain, and replaced a pipe. Compared to other plumbers they are reasonable, know what they are doing without having to make a bunch of phone calls, and once they get to your home do the job quick without a lot of chitchat which i like. Only downfall is the window of time for appointments .... too long. You will waste your whole day waiting. But compared to some of the other plumbers I've used its worth the wait

After a competitor gave me an estimate that turned out to be TWICE what Nelson's did, and improperly seated a toilet, I called Nelson's. My relative remembers using them way back in 1964. Doug is the salt of the Earth, a Plumber for Forty plus years. He fixed the toilet for free, and dug out the corroded old soil pipe and replaced it with a PVC pipe. Job was done in one day. I highly recommend them.

Called early in the am to explain my plumbing issue and schedule an appointment. Gentleman who took the call was more interested in telling me what the charges would be and how I would pay than what my issue was . Scheduled an appt anyway and when I still had not gotten the "" on the way"" call 1/2 hour after appt time I found another plumber and cancelled. Seems I never even got scheduled to start with.

I would NEVER call or recommend Nelson Bros to anyone. The experience started out nice, came out w/i a couple hours and the guy was nice enough. The issue turned into a bigger one and the theatrics about what a huge expensive fix it was going to be along w/ the condescending attitude was ridiculous. They said it would be btwn $1500-5000 and would have to tear up my whole basement. I called Waterwork and the job was done in combination w/ fixing a leaky toilet for $1380.
