Minnesota Plumbers

Hiring a Plumber in Minnesota

Buildermuse currently lists 10 plumbers in Minnesota, averaging 4.9 stars across 17,041 verified Google reviews. That is an unusually strong field — when nearly every firm clears 4.8 stars, response time and availability become the real differentiators, so call two or three rather than only the top result. Most of the crews above operate out of Brooklyn Park, Champlin, and Hopkins.

Minnesota licenses this trade at the state level: the Plumbing credential is required for all work, regardless of project size. Licensed through DLI Plumbing Division. Licenses renew on an annual cycle (December 31). Expect a $200 state application fee. Verify any license directly with the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry at (651) 284-5069 before signing a contract. At a minimum, ask for proof of $300,000 in general liability coverage and active workers' comp.

Labor is the biggest line item on most bids, and the Minnesota market sets the floor: construction workers here average $41.60 an hour — about $86,528 a year — across 148,463 workers statewide, per Bureau of Labor Statistics data. That puts Minnesota among the pricier construction labor markets in the country, so expect quotes to reflect it.
