Great service from Garrett!
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.
Orlando did a great job. He was thorough, explained the options, etc. He completed the task in a high quality of work and in a reasonable amount of time. Very friendly and knowledgeable.
Todd was professional, explained everything he was doing and left zero mess for me to clean up.
Great service from both Barker and Todd D! Todd was efficient and thorough with his work. We were impressed he was able to complete all the work within our tight time schedule, and with ease. I highly recommend using Barker & Sons.
This was the 3rd time we have had Corey come out to our home. Each time we have added more work for Corey to do. This last visit Corey finished with repairing a bathroom faucet and we now needed a new kitchen faucet. Corey showed us the brochure and he went over and explained the different faucets. Now we have a…
Exceptional Service from Corey at Barker and Sons Plumbing We recently had Corey from Barker and Sons Plumbing come out to our home, and we could not have been more impressed with his work, professionalism, and the way he treated our home and family. He replaced our kitchen faucet and hose fittings and installed a…
Corey was great! Needed to fix leak under kitchen sink and had valves and the faucet upgraded and changed out at the same time. He explained everything he was going to do clearly. He arrived on time and finished in a timely manner and left everything neat and tidy. I've use Barker and Sons on several occasions for…

Wonderful experience with Corey of Barker and Sons Plumbing!

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!!!
Orlando, with Barker and Sons, replaced our kitchen faucet, cocktail-water dispenser, soap dispenser, and installed a new garbage disposal and a new upgraded RO system. He finished this entire project in less than half a day. The project turned out perfect and beautiful. Orlando's installation was impeccable.…
We chose Barker due to past experiences. When the time came for a decent size project, we contacted Barker & Sons. I first want to thank Ivan for all his dedication and hard work. I appreciated his leadership and his communication skills. I also want to thank all the Barker team, for their professionalism. Peace of Mind
I was really impressed by the level of customer service and professionalism. Orlando clearly knows his job inside and out, and it shows how much he genuinely enjoys what he does. He explained things thoroughly and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. Great experience overall!
Great work. Ali was helpful, patient and knowledgeable.
The service was excellent! Prompt, clean, and quality repair.
Orlando was the ultimate professional from start to finish. His knowledge and experience made the entire process seem less daunting than it really was, and it was a lot of work. He and his team (Cooper and Cory) got down to business and knocked out the work without sacrificing precision and care. I highly recommend…
Eddie did a great job installing the new shower in my bathroom. He was very professional and made sure he left everything clean and neat.
September 2025 Update - Orlando did a great job of replacing and installing a hose bib connection at my house. The hose connection had been improperly removed when a water softener system was installed. Orlando also identified that the water softener bypass valve was left open giving me blended softened and hard…
I called on a Saturday morning when our water heater and faucet went out, the team at Barker immediately sent someone out to take a look. Ali arrived promptly and was very professional, he quoted us a couple options to replace the water heater and installed a new faucet for us. We called back a few days later to…
Update: 8/26/2025: My house is 100 years old, so you can imagine that things go wrong (often). I call Barker & Sons every time I am having an issue. This time, they had to do a drain re-pipe on the backside of my house. It was an extensive project, and Sam, Luke, Bo, and Corey got the job done efficiently and…
Excellent, friendly and courteous service
Jonathan and Alex were excellent. Friendly and professional
And the past I've used Parker & sons Plumbing to replace three toilets, softener and sink and shower fixtures. I appreciate the fact they always have contacted me, updated me as to where and when my technician would arrive. They also include their picture so I know what they'll look like! Lol. Just you know, I'm an…

I liked that they kept me updated on the plumber's arrival with photo of the plumber. In less than 2 hours, Dylan Allee came and inspected the leak. Soon after, he was…
This plumbing company is very knowledgeable and professional. I have used them 3 times over the last 5 years. The latest job was changing a shower valve and a couple of the copper pipes. Excellant work!
These guys showed up to my house very quickly, gave me an estimate and fixed 4 different issues I had with my sink in just a few short hours. Good people too!
Thank you Barker and Sons and specifically Don - manager for helping me today. He graciously installed the replacement soap dispenser and provided valuable advice. Thank you.
THis was not a challenging job, but our plumber did the job well.

The plumber was very nice. He fixed my hose bib . He also drained the hot water heater.
Great workmanship and excellent service from James and George.
Michael and Don were very friendly and helpful and did a great job! They took their time locating the issues and explaining the process and repairs they’d be doing.
Barker and sons plumbing is a great company and most competent plumbers in all of OC. Piotr was the plumber who fixed several items in my condo that were all a result of our Hard Water we have in OC. He was always on time, professional, clean and did a fantastic job. I will use Barker and Sons in the future and will recommend them to anybody me I know.
We had a very positive experience with Barker & Son. Jimmy Kelley was our installer and was 100% on his game. We will recommend to all our friends/clients. Thank You
I love Barkers! They are always so communicative and helpful when scheduling. Carlos Puebla, our tech, was professional, informative and fast! I will always use this company going forward!
Barker Plumbing is the best! I’ve been with them for over 20 years. James replaced the flappers? on the toilets, installed a pressure valve for the waterline coming into the house and fixed the tankless water heater. The next time out James and Scott replaced the faucets in the shower and the bathroom sink. Very…
On time, knowledgeable, they clean up after themselves and just great people! We’ve used them over and over and referred them to our neighbors.
They were very professional and on time and knew how to do a good job, installing the sink as well as a descaler and unit! Have a recommend :-)
Jesse was extremely knowledgeable and efficient. He installed and checked 2 laundry faucets and stayed through the point in the cycle to be sure we have water access and are leak free. A delightful young man.
My kitchen faucet broke right before the holiday weekend. The company was great working with me to get an appointment before the weekend when no one else could come out. Michael was timely, professional, knowledgeable and pleasant. I will definitely use them in the future and recommend them to others.
I called them yesterday morning to come out and assess the problems. Piotr (Peter) is a great "old school" technician. He told me what the problems were and what needed to be done. It was a bigger job than I was able to handle alone. They arrived 8:30AM this morning, worked on the jobs, 4 hours later everything was…
They did a great job however charged alot just to replace a bathroom faucet. My total price ended up being around $850.00.
They were prompt, professional, efficient, and friendly. On the high end of the estimates I got, but I feel it was worth it.
These plumbers are the best! Jesse is the technician that always solves the problems at our house. He explains everything very well and does great work. Anytime I have a plumbing problem, I always call Barker and Sons. They have replaced leaky pipes, installed new faucet and garbage disposal. I also used them to…
Excellent, always dependable, AAA+ work. HIGHLY recommend!!!
I called to have them look at updating my shower controls and tub faucet. They were leaking very badly when I would turn the water on and the tub faucet wouldn't redirect the water to the shower head very well as it had tons of mineral build up. The faucet and controls were likely the original setup when the unit…
Evan was a great technician. He arrived on time and patiently waited while we finished getting ready to have him install a new bathroom faucet. He then patiently waited for me to get off a conference call to pay him. Incredibly polite, super efficient and proficient at his job. He was a delight to work with!
They were very professional and clean. Good at explaining what was going on. Reduced amount of holes that were originally needed. Seemed a bit expensive but we didn’t have the time to do much homework. Definitely recommend their membership option. Thank you Jesse and guys for your help!
Piotr was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was fast, efficient, kind, helpful and knowledgeable. He explained every step of the way, showed me the damaged parts so I can see where The issue was and taught me about how to take care of each part/ the plumbing in my home.

Issac and his team were supportive, kind, understanding and very helpful. The job they were tasked with in my opinion was nasty and not only did they fix everything, Issac also thought of things that made my mothers installations safer and better for her. I greatly appreciate all the kindness he showed throughout the entire job.
The entire staff and experience. Richard was amazing, and every in the office is friendly and informative. Tina was great! Always giving me updates and trust me, I need them. It is a family owned business I believe and it shows with each interaction. The people love what they are doing and who they are doing it for.…
Excellent service, quality work. Dillon was excellent service tech in assessment of problem and resolution. I will ask for him with all my plumbing needs.
Rich was courteous, informative and performed the job in a timely manner.
Rich and Christian provided professional service. Happy with the work.
The service provided by Barker & Sons was outstanding. I was apprised of the work that needed to be done before it was started; I was given the cost to do the work; and the work was completed as stated. The tech was professional and personable. I recommend Barker & Sons if you need the job done right.
Orlando and Thomas did a very professional repair. Cost is a big factor, though, and I recommend that customers purchase their own fixtures for installation.
Orlando Guillén helped us change our equipment in our kitchen and bathroom. He was helpful, on time and all around professional. Will be recommending to friends and family.
On a sunday night 9pm Jeff showed up. Boosted our confidence that it was all good. Pricey but worth it. I value the work done. Thankyou for fixing.
Dylan came to my house to fix my faucet and my toilet after I had other previous work done things were all clogged up Dylan came out and unclogged and solved issues for me five-star experience will use them again
Jesse and Dominic were very professional. They worked quickly and explained each part of what they were doing. They gave us a quote early and stayed within what they promised. We will definitely use them again! Thank you so much!!!
Orlando was fantastic! Very thorough and left the area better than when he found it! Friendly attitude and explained everything he was doing very well! I will be using them again and requesting Orlando!
