This is a five star company. I was lucky enough to have their Lead Tech- Orlando- He is personable, dependable, and carefully explains everything. We needed all water and gas pipes replaced. The work was completed quickly and I was amazed at the office communication and appropriate documentation. I will definitely use Barker and Sons again.
We had Corey come out and fix a leak in our bathroom. He was incredibly professional. What I liked the most was that he went step by step telling us what he was going to do and what the issues were. He was very transparent about what he was going to be charged as well. He offered us several "stopping" point to make…
Orlando and Brian were extremely professional and kept us informed all during the repair, we highly recommend them and their fine company
Great communication from crew, supervisor , and office - especially given that there was a complication and the water dept had to get involved. Barker Plumbing took total responsibility and my price did not change. Followup to replace sod and be sure all was satisfactory was excellent.
All 5 starts (easy commmunication, comptitive pricing, good work was performed) . / Team outperformed the work because they knew what was going on & how to handle the work / surely would schedule again
Barker and son’s staff and plumbers are friendly, professional, and punctual. They have come to my home 3 times in the last 2 years for 3 different problems.

It’s hard to find an honest and knowledgeable…
Very professional.

Wonderful experience with Corey of Barker and Sons Plumbing! We knew our mobile home needed a complete repiping but we weren't aware how badly the pipes underneath were leaking, Corey took video of the stream flowing from our pipes and we realized how much water was being wasted and went ahead and jumped in.…
Barker and Sons Plumbing has done two major jobs for us. They were always prompt and courteous both in person and on the phone.
