Javier was very knowledgable and professional. Thank you!!
Responsive, good communication, text messages, calls, you know who is coming and when. Polite, asked if they can help with anything, wore foot covers in the house, left the site clean.

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.
Corey & Ricky from Barker & Son’s came and successfully completed their identification and repair of a leak source at my house. They were both extremely knowledgeable about their respective areas of expertise and worked together efficiently and effectively to address the work they needed to complete. Both of them…
Overpriced. Did not cleanup. Late I made multiple calls to get a detailed pricing. I was promised a call back. Well that did not happened.Our case was emergency and we had a gas leak. We had no idea about the cost and took their word and trusted pricing was fair. It had to be taken care of since we had no gas in the…

Javier was professional, friendly, and completed the job in a timely manner. I will definitely call on Barker &Sons in future.

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.

Orlando was very professional and explained everything that needed to be done to fix my regulator valve, including piping reconfiguration. It was obvious that he was a seasoned veteran and knew his craft well. He explained it how everything works and how to properly maintain the equipment so that it would have a…
Excellent service. Very helpful, clean, and reasonably priced.
Barker's technician, Todd, did a wonderful job locating and fixing an intermittent leak associated with my irrigation system. It was really not obvious where the leaking pipe was. He took a great deal of time to diagnose the problem and then devised a creative fix. I also appreciated the customer service staff.…
Davis is quiet and shy. !! And takes direction well !! No more leaky faucet ! And tanner the service manager is a stud muffin
Awesome service and reliable communication. RB was knowledgeable and explained everything the entire process. First time we used Barker and Sons and now will be our only plumbing company for ever ! Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. I love your ads too lol
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.
RB was candid, thorough, and patient. He also showed integrity during the entire process. He discussed the issue and repair and quickly and digitally provided my requested estimates for other projects. I also appreciate he offered a 1-month warranty on labor and a 2-month warranty on parts because the leak persisted…
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.
I recently used the services of Parker & Sons Plumbing at our convenience store, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the service. The technician was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. He quickly diagnosed the issue and completed the plumbing work with great attention to detail. What really stood…
No one likes to call a plumber, but if you have to, Barker and Sons Plumbing is who you should contact. From the initial phone call to their office, to the resolution of my problem, this company responded professionally and expertly. Cory, the technician who resolved my kitchen plumbing leak, was very…
Incredibly professional and quick service. Alex was a delight to work with to track and fix our pinhole leaks.
Had a leak in my water line on Memorial Day. 2 companies couldn’t send help until Tuesday. Corey came out on Monday and temporarily stop the leak. He and Cooper came back on Tuesday and replaced the whole pipe. Very pleased and relieved. Would definitely recommend this company.
Best plumber ever! Orlando took the time to explain the issue and offered honest and professional advice. He took the time to prepare the area he was working in, he protected everything around his work area and he left everything better than when he found it. It’s hard to find an honest and knowledgeable…
Orlando was fast, efficient, and very personable! Great customer service, will definitely recommend to family and friends!
Unexpected copper pipe break and leak when I was replacing the back yard hose bibb this weekend. Bo P was very helpful and professional is replacing the pipe including the hose bibb and tie-back to irrigation pipe. Awesome service!
Slab leak repair. We liked their plan, selected them. RB was great to work with. They responded quickly, work was done in one day. Very happy
Corey was professional.did a great job i would use them again , highly recommend!
Orlando worked on our secondary bathroom plumbing for us. He was great and went above and beyond!!
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.…
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!
Barker and Sons Plumbing has done two major jobs for us. They were always prompt and courteous both in person and on the phone. They fixed our main water line when we had a persistent leak which required boring under the driveway, a huge job. For our second engagement they addressed all of our internal plumbing…
Had a slab leak. Barker & Sons plumbing came out the same day to review the issue. Did a temporary fix and returned today to complete the repair. Todd & Michael worked were friendly, professional and fixed the problem. Would have no hesitation to recommend to anyone with plumbing issues

In our case it was a need for an emergency services, and we got fast, professional and highly efficient response. According to Google the Company has an "A+" rating with BBB, and I think they fully deserve it. A leak from the ceiling appeared shortly before 4 PM. It took less than 3 hours for Corey M. to reach our…
Todd was excellent! He was so detail oriented and explained everything thoroughly! Highly recommended and will be using him for any future plumbing issues.
Orlando Guillen was great 5 Stars!! Very Friendly,courteous and professional. As well as a great personality.
Barker and Sons is wonderful.We have used them both for some complicated plumbing issues at our business and difficult plumbing issues in our 65 year old home. Peter, Jesse, Julio, Bo, Tanner, Pedro, have been honest, very knowledgeable and so helpful in what could have been a difficult. I highly recommend Barker and Sons. I love this company!
Jonathan and Peyer were fantastic. Fast. Everything great.
I would like to take the time to acknowledge Corey's exceptional work as one of the company's plumbers. He is thorough, knowledgeable, and meticulous in his approach, taking the time to explain everything in detail. His diligence extends to identifying potential additional issues, showcasing his commitment to…
I discovered a leak in my upstairs toilet drain and searched for a plumber online. Barker and Sons Plumbing &Rooter had excellent ratings, so I made an appointment with them right away. Both of Bo and Rudy are friendly and so nice. I’m glad I did—they were incredibly efficient, completing the entire repair in just…
Perfect service!
Jonathan and Garrett were very professional and pleasant. They repaired my ceiling leak and gave me recommendations on future needs. I would not hesitate in using them again.
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
Corey was awesome, very professional and nice. Explained everything to me and what he was going to do. And when he was finished he cleaned everything up and told me about the warranties. I will definitely use this company again and ask for Corey. I am a happy customer. Thank you Corey!
Really great Service, really great team of people, their pricing is astronomical though, more than double my other quotes. If price is your driver these guys aren’t fir you, if top notch service and quality workmanship is your driver then these guys ARE for you.
Great customer service and came out quick. Technician was knowledgeable, friendly and gave options.
Corey M came out and did a fantastic job. He identified the issue and thoroughly explained the steps needed to resolve it. Corey was very polite and respectful. He works with speedy integrity. He was under the house, in through the walls, and took care replacing old pipes, nipples, a faucet, and a sink basket. He…
Love this company and the service. From the customer service reps that answer to the technicians that come out. I had a leak in my garage and Bo came out right away, unfortunately it was a main water line pipe/slab leak. Bo and other technicians explained everything in full detail and the next day had a crew out…
Ben was extremely communicative and clear about the work he was doing and fixed everything. Im super happy and would recommend this business to anyone
Barker and son's representatives were very patient and courteous and explaining the work they needed to do in our home. I have used them in the past and they are first class And invest in the plumbing industry
Had several plumbing services done to prepare for selling of our home. Alex was terrific! So knowledgeable and professional and even made friends with our 2 year old grandson during his days with us. He went over and beyond the call of duty. Would highly recommend Alex and Barker&Sons Plumbing.
Orlando was great. He was professional and clarified the plumbing issue. Barbara
Orlando was very knowledgeable and professional and was able to address the issue we were experiencing. We would have no problem recommending him.
This is the 5th time we’ve relied on Barker and Sons for a plumbing repair. I had an outstanding experience with the plumbing team that came to my home — Carlos P. as the lead technician and Oscar as his assistant. From the moment they arrived, they carried themselves with professionalism, respect, and a genuine…
Todd did great job! We feel totally confident about his repair of our main water line into our home. Great customer service and carefull and detailed explanations in response to all of our questions. We highly recommend Barker & Sons! Wyman Shanks
RB was awesome. Very experienced and walked me through my leak and what needed to be done. Made corrections to the leak and took steps to position the pipe in a less discrete location. Would help with any future leaks if any. Great personality as well.
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…
Yesterday, we realized that we needed assistance as soon as possible with our plumbing issues & they were able to get someone out to us the very next day. We got new pipes for our sink, a new garbage disposal and new water lines to hook up to our new fridge. We can now enjoy ice & filtered water from the fridge! Our…
Had a leaking shut off valve Technician Carlos Puebla did a great job replacing the valve also very nice and polite guy
The BAD: Super expensive, and would shop around if you have time! THE GOOD: Very professional, friendly and explained every step of the way! I had a slab leak from on of my main branches of cold water supply of the house feeding the entire master, and RB was great guy who came to fix and address this leak, and put…
Corey was truly an outstanding plumbing representative! He was professional, arrived on time, was kind and explained well the process and reasoning for his service. Work was completed promptly, and left with everything clean. Appreciate his 5-star service!
Professional, knowledgeable and solved my problem without overcharging. Great employee. Don’t let him go.
Barker & Sons is an excellent family owned business. I called Mikayla at their ofc, early on a Sat morning. She promptly had Leah call me to schedule a plumber to come out for a plumbing emergency. Levi, the plumbing tech, was at the house within 40 minutes & diagnosed an issue with a broken gasket in the…
I cannot say enough good things about this company. I met Eddie on the first day of the many projects and was taken by his warmth, honesty and helpful suggestions. I experienced mold and called Eddie’s company to help after remediation. He found a big water leak on the pipe from the meter to the house which probably…
Great quality work from the office to the job to completion. Friendly and knowledgeable explanation/service
Pete, Julian and his team were exceptional. Everything step was thoroughly explained. We always were kept updated . They worked diligently. They stepped up and went beyond expectations. Clean up was amazing. They were respectful of our home. They worked tirelessly and always remained enthusiastic and engaged.…
Had a wonderful experience with Barker & Sons today. Oscar came out to check out a leak in one of our sinks and was able to identify the issue and relay the information to me effectively. He secured and replaced the necessary parts, and then had Carlos come to do a camera check of the pipes. Overall very professional and great service! Highly recommend.
Got to my house within an hour. Very professional and friendly. Was able to solve the problem for a decent price all within an hour.
