Iheb and Brian were great. They helped us fix a leak that we had had for four months in one day! Super efficient and went an extra mile to help us resolve our problems. Both of them were very nice, and it’s worth mentioning that they were kind to my annoying dog.

Service is always great from Barker & Sons. We had issues with our tankless water heaters, and their team handled everything quickly and professionally. A full crew showed up, diagnosed the problem right away, and had it fixed within just a few hours. Orlando was a joy to work with!

Who wants plumbing issues?! No one! But I would choose NO ONE else but Barker and Sons!!!! Love their help. Especially Rudy. He’s my main guy. Met Jesse today and he’s amazing as well. You can’t go wrong! Thank you Rudy and Jesse. Chris DeShields was here too and I learned so much!!!
