Outstanding in explaining everything needed and why. No pressure and offered different options. Corey and Ricky were great and I highly recommend them for any plumbing needs.
We’ve used Barker & Sons in the past and they have been nothing but great to us. I’m not sure who was helping us on the phone side during this process, but a group of women (including Linda) and Jim were great to us. They were understanding, especially when it came to payment time. Even better was the kindness and…
Iheb was great to work with. We had a really tough mainline leak that took multiple days to find and fix. He was committed the whole way through and even came in over the weekend to complete the job. I would definitely use Parker and sons again, and I even signed up for their membership program.

I had the pleasure of having Orlando Guillen take care of plumbing issues at our place. He did an excellent job and did it with a smile. His expertise and the professionalism he displayed were outstanding! If you need a plumber, he is your man!
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.

We had a broken pipe and had to shut the water off to our house, of course at the end of the business day. I was not going to be able to go through the rest of the night without running water. Orlando was able to come tonight and do the repair that was needed. He did a great job and had a pleasant demeanor. Thank you Orlando!
Davis is quiet and shy. !! And takes direction well !! No more leaky faucet ! And tanner the service manager is a stud muffin

RB was candid, thorough, and patient. He also showed integrity during the entire process.

Oscar the tech took his time explaining the situation and technical matters. Courteous and professional.
Corey A. did an excellent job repairing a leaking pipe in my kitchen pantry. He showed up on time explained all of my repair options and completed the job as promised. I highly recommend him.
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.
Orlando and Brian did a wonderful job! Very professional.
Isaac and Derek unclogged my sewer line and diagnosed the issue that needs repair. They were knowledgeable and professional. I feel confident in having them repair my sewer line and plumbing issues.

The technician Ali and the customer service team including Drake made the process a positive experience. We will be using their services again.

Ali came out and was prompt, professional and knowledgeable. The work was top notch and done at an efficient pace.
Eddie and Todd and Mario were the BEST!!!
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…
We had a major pipe leak under our house. Alex came out and he was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. He was present when they did the repiping of the house. Very professional. Highly recommend them.
These guys were amazing! Their professionalism was amazing to work with. They were respectful, and did even the little things like wearing shoe covers in the house and covering their work areas before starting a project. Their analytical and problem solving skills resulted in efficient same-day services that were…
After returning home on a Saturday from a recent vacation, we discovered that our kitchen sink drain was completely clogged.

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. 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…
So far, my husband and I appreciate the professionalism from Jonathan and Garrett. They were very thorough with their findings and up front with the work that needs to be done. They were friendly and not pushy. We look forward to seeing the amazing results from this company!
I recently had a major project done by Baker and Sons involving a full home repiping and sewer replacement for my 1,500 sq. ft. house. I cannot recommend them enough. Our project manager, Greg, was excellent to work with—he and his team were incredibly professional, kind, and kept me informed at every step of the…
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
Orlando was awsome. Did great job and communicated everything and showed what was going on. That is something we appreciated a lot. Did great work and clean, which isn’t always case with this kind of work. Thank you Orlando!

Great experience! Eddie was fantastic, knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions I had, was very clear and didn't feel like he was trying to upsell or upcharge us in any way. Happily helped unclog our shower head after a fix with no additional charge. Would use them in the future!

Jonathan and his team easy to work and they cleaned up after themselves so well you wouldn’t have known they were here except for the plumbing issues were totally resolved.

My home is 60+ years old with what looks like a lot of original water pipes. I had dampness near an outside wall and had technician RB check it out for me.
