todd was amazing so informative quick and helpful.
Everyone at Barker & Sons has been amazing to work with. We’ve had a few emergencies they’ve helped us through and are always prompt, friendly and polite. We’ve never had to clean up after any of their work. Special shoutout to Orlando, who is always quick to respond to all our questions after having our tankless water heater installed!
Orlando was great and very professional.
Orlando was exceptional. He was professional, thorough, and the repairs were impeccable. Service was amazing. He was above and beyond and I would recommend your company and Orlando specifically to anyone with the higest praise. Well done.
Ken & Allen are professional plumbers. Was able to get the job done than another plumber who was giving us a run around. Barker & Sons was straightforward and provided exceptional service! Thank you
Cory was very efficient and excellent quality of work performed.
iheb was amazing —so professional and helpful. Explained everything clearly and didn’t upsell me. Great with our two dogs too!
Excellent service by Orlando! Took the time to explain the scope of the repair which was very much appreciated. Great work, would highly recommend!
Got my smashed toilet (I fell on it...long story) replaced and a malfunctioning shower valve replaced. Plumber Orlando was very knowledgeable and personable.
Alex was amazing. He was able to help diagnose a problem that could have been terrible if left unchecked. He went above and beyond. We were hesitant about needing a pro, but it was worth it. I couple of fixes saved us thousands down the road. He was knowledge about so many topics. 5 stars!!!!
Orlando was here today to make plumbing repairs. He did excellent work and extremely polite, professional, and hard-working. We will request Orlando next time.
Had a challenging shower issue and Corey was excellent! He Explained things well, step by step, and offered a few options! Look forward to the next time!!
Orlando helped us with a leaky shower cartridge. He was very communicative, knowledgeable, and handled everything in a timely manner. I would definitely hire him again.
Quite possibly, one of the best experiences with a plumber that I've ever had. The technician who came to my home (Ali) was professional, very skilled and efficient. He diagnosed the problem, suggested a resolution and quoted me a price. Was it the cheapest quote? No. However, when it comes to professionals…
I’m a very happy customer and highly recommend this business. I had plumbing emergency on a Sunday and called at least 10 different companies and none of them were responding. Barker and Sons picked up the phone and reassured me they will send someone within an hour. Bo P was super professional, knowledgeable, and…
Ali was great to work with. He was very thorough and detailed. He explained exactly what the issue was how he would repair it. Excellent experience.
Prompt, extremely polite and professional service. I will never choose another company!
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…
The technician Corey arrived exactly when he said he would and quickly diagnosed the issue in our shower. With 10 minutes, the suspect part was replaced and no more leak.
I had a small dripping problem in my shower. Barker and Sons sent a plumber the very next day. Todd was polite, knowledgable, and efficient. Tina and Jeremy in the office were friendly and helpful. I would recommend them to everyone as everything about this service appointment was professional.
Orlando was great! He communicated well, was efficient, and cleaned up very nicely afterwards. He answered my questions and concerns, and was overall very pleasant to work with. I am very happy with the work that he did.
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
Great customer service and came out quick. Technician was knowledgeable, friendly and gave options.
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!
Cory M is excellent 👌. He explained everything to me as to what our options are before he did the work. He made sure that my problem is fixed and taken care of. Hats off too to Michael for the assistance he provided. Both men are courteous and very professional in every aspect of their approach. Barker…
Cody was very friendly, knew his craft, welcomed discussions as he worked. Cody also provided a replacement trim plate that allowed the existing screws to be installed. Cody tried everything in his arsenal including longer screws that ended up being to large. The replacement trim worked perfectly. Cody was fast…
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.
Excellent service. Very friendly. Quick work. Was able to come out same day on a Saturday and fix the issue same day. Would recommend.
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
Amazing service at always. So happy I found Barker and Sons. They have been so helpful!
We had an emergency situation where our water main line broke. Barker and Sons made it a priority to get to to us fast. Nate came out and even set us up with a temporary water line to get us through. They came the next day as primised and stayed until the late evening to make sure we weren't without water for…
We have a 60 year old house and have been using Barker and Sons Plumbing for years and years! Every time they are prompt, courteous and tackle the issues this ‘ol house throws at us with care! If you have a good old house you’d be wise to have their number handy. You’ll be thankful you did by hiring such great professionals!
Nate was great! Very knowledgeable and detail oriented. Made sure everything was done properly. He's also just a very very nice guy. A pleasure to work with.
Great experience with Nate. He was fast, friendly, and courteous throughout the entire process. Nate tackled a complicated issue with my water heater and did an excellent job. I highly recommend his services for anyone in need of a skilled and reliable plumber.
Excellent work. My technician was excellent and did a great job -- my problem was solved and I give him 4 stars -- very professional and polite! Have used them 4 times besides this and will use them again. Have recommended them to many of my neighbors
I called Barker and Sons about a leak in the ceiling. I spoke with Leea ,who was very friendly and polite. She said she would send someone today. 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…
Excellent work. Appreciate the effort and dedication. Recommend Pioter and the company highly. Thank you!
Barker and sons always does right by me.
Service was excellent James K came within an hour of me calling and took care of the shower was so professional and kind
We are very pleased with the service provided by Barker& Sons. “Technician of the year” award: Mr. Nate Murphy. Nate was most professional, courteous, knowledgeable and pleasant in completing the installation of a new water softener system. Amazingly, on his own, he completed a labor intensive project with concern.…
Scottie was the technician that came out to help me. He was knowledgeable and professional. Was able to quickly access to the issue and gave me a quote within the first hour of the home visit. Will definitely recommend all my family and friends for future instances.
Scott did a wonderful job and I will request him in the future when I need more plumbing done which I will need. He is very friendly and informative. Vickie Hays
Nate was on time, courteous and professional. He completed the repairs properly and in a reasonable amount of time.
Plumbing technician Zachary Hullin provided exceptional expertise and service in dealing with a tricky situation. Zack and Barker & Sons have our highest recommendation.
A very well rum company, not perfect, the price could always less. Office staff kept me informed about everything going on. The technicians, James and George are very competent and personable, and they actually listen to you. I suggested something, and they actually used my idea. They took time to explain what they…
Great workmanship and excellent service from James and George.
Technician was very knowlegeable and professional at his craft , clean workmanship and very polite. I highly recommend to all for plumbing needs..
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.
Great service. Zach was very professional and polite. Zach worked extra hard to get the job done in one day without cutting corners. Many thanks.
I've used this company on several occasions. Very professional, detailed and knowledgeable. Peter is absolutely your person to go, hands down but everyone I've had pleasure to meet were extremely efficient. Thank you team!
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.
James and Mike with Barker and Sons were great workers, they were very kind and professional. They fixed the issue on the same day and they were pleasant to converse with. The issue was fixed quickly and it was resolved thoroughly. Would highly recommend for any necessary repairs.
Eli was awesome!!! He was prompt, knowledgeable, and professional. He gave me the preferred options, but respected my budget. Eli was clean, respectful, and professional. I will call them and recommend them to my friends and family!! THANK YOU Eli!!!! You are a life saver!! I appreciate your professionalism and…
Zachary was great...very pleasant and professional. Got the job done. Also spoke highly of the company and its management.
Customer service is great and we appreciate it so much. Jesse was very nice and professional. The get 4 stars because the prices are always higher than others but I use them for certain things because their customer is worth it sometimes. We will definitely use them again.
Way overpriced and they do not back up their own work. Responded six days after I called!!! The owner refused to talk to me because he “had no time” …!!!
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…
Great experience with Dylan Would use again for sure.
