Barker and Sons Plumbing & Rooter

Frank was here within 1 hr. Diagnosed the problem quickly, gave us the quote and did a great job.

Gabriel arrived on time and did a great job. He even went the extra mile and mopped the garage floor!

Gabriel got the part and changed it. He did a thorough job.

Arrived quickly and work was done quickly and efficiently.

I called late on a Friday requesting service the next day prior to Easter Sunday. I informed Barker and Sons on the phone that the drains were running, but slow and needed them cleaned and they had a 10:00am time slot available that was acceptable. They next day I received a call from the scheduled plumber, Frank Vega, that he had finished early at the previous appointment and asked if he could come early, ~1hr. I agreed and he was at my front door in 10mins. I showed the cleaned out location and we discussed the work needed. He brought the camera in and checked the sewer describing what I was seeing. Due to the issues in the sewer it was agreed that hydro-blasting the sewer was needed. Frank then showed me the price book for the service and we had a deal. He needed to go back to the office to get the hydro-blaster and returned in about 1 hour and proceeded to jet the sewer. I was watching as he was working between the hydro-blaster and the camera. During that time he explained what he was doing as well as what was displayed on the camera. Due to the small roots he had to work some areas several times. The overall experience was great and Frank was very professional.

Gabriel provided outstanding service to resolve my plumbing issues. First, I called another local plumber and they could not figure out how to fix the issue, big waste of 3 hours. Second, I called out Baker and Sons. I requested Garbriel because of his track record of excellent reviews on Angie's List. He showed up on time and did not disappoint. Within 10 minutes he figured out what the problem was and how to fix it. I really don't know much about plumbing, but Gabriel explained it in a way where I could understand and make sense of it all. He was great, I should've called Barker and Sons in the first place. Missy in the office was pleasant to talk to; she was well spoken and understanding. Gold stars all around!!!

Super! One call and Austin came to my house within the hour. The technician (Austin) and Missy in the office are courteous and professional. It's a pleasure to deal with Barker and Sons.

Very professional! Explained each step. Excellent clean up. On time as promised. I would use this company again.

I called Barker & Sons to get a second quote on the replacement of my water heater. Austin arrived when they said he would and gave me a quote that made sense. The work was done ahead of the estimated time to complete and the job site was cleaned up. This is the kind of company I want to do business with, very straight forward and honest.

They (Frank and Jean) were fantastic. They came out right away. Were professonial and had better quotes than others.

They were there the next day (it wasn't an emergency, just inconvenient), on time with no problem. The man who came was very knowledgeable and took care of the issue right away. He told us about some other potential problems in the future that we should keep an eye on and some things we could do to avoid them. They did great work and were very professional. Since our house is nearly 100 years old, I suspect we'll be using them again!

Well, the issue I had was not the work, it was the fact I couldn't get the information regarding their hourly rate. They came in, bid the job and that was it. I thought the bid was high and the fix was easy. I had them fix the one toilet the the other toilet started working correctly, even though they said the flap had to be replace, but not only the flap but the whole darn mechanism. They said they had to order it but after they put the toilet back together, it was working perfectly and has since. I asked them about their hourly rate again and they said it was $250 per hour which I thought was exorbitant. They said that Jim Diamond was much more expensive.

Gabriel was very professional and explanatory. He identified what was wrong with our sewer and laid out all of our options. Our sewer line was broken in several areas due to root intrusion. With the new sleeve/liner my root problems went away, Thank God! These guys at Barker and Sons really know their stuff. Great work, professionalism, price, neatness, etc.

Will was the plumber/technician who arrived and did the job. He was cordial, communicative and thorough. I was very pleased. Tho the price may be slightly above the cheapo offers, I would recommend this company.

Michael did an excellent job. Very professional!

Gabriel was highly professional and efficient. He explained everything clearly and performed the service exactly as he said. He left the area just as he found it.

They are just very professional and very conscientious. They were clean, as far as cleaning up after themselves. They were also timely. If they were late, they always would call and let you know ahead of time. They were just very good. We just liked their professionalism, so we went with that price. It seemed a little pricey for us, but plumbing is very expensive.

Patiently explained my options on whether I should just go through a maintenance effort, drain the water heater, etc. My water heater was almost 11 years old and I was not getting sufficient hot water during showers plus the water pressure was low. The decision to get a new water heater was the right decision; water is hot and pressure is dramatically increased.

Michael was very helpful. He did a good job.

We were not getting any hot water so called Barker & Sons after finding them in Angie's List. Office person was very personable and Gabriel arrived within hours of our call. Looked over the problem and gave us estimates for replacement options. We went with the products we had been researching on the internet. The next day Gabriel and assistant arrived right at time specified and began work. They removed and took away the tankless, which should have been called "thankless" (nightmare for 4 years!). Got dark early and began to get very cold. Turned all the utilities back on until the next day. They arrived early next day and completed the work within a few hours. Cleaned everything before they left. VERY professional. The office followed up with a phone call to make sure everything had been completed to our satisfaction. We are now very happy campers with hot water on demand, improved water pressure, cleaner faucets (tankless allows mineral deposits to come through) and love our absolutely new system. We would recommend Barton and Sons to any and all!

We called to fix toilet plunger. They ordered the parts to repair it, but they said the parts were more expensive than a new toilet. They said the problem was from hard water and needed a water softener. He looked at another toilet and said it had the same problem. They recommended that we replace toilets and get a water softener. They said we would never have a problem in the future. We went to Costco and they sent a water softener expert and he said the water was fine. We called back and canceled the water softener. They had already replaced the second toilet and it was $785 to be installed. He fixed the original toilet. When he left he said he needed to check the pressure regulator and it was too high. He said it would be $500. But we found someone to replace it for $200. If we had used them it would have been $5000. I feel I was not told the truth about the water softener and purchased a toilet, we didn't need. He said there was a leak, that we didn't have. I would hate to see anyone else pulled in like this.

I could not be happier with the service provided by Gabriel of Barker & Sons. We were suffering from a sewer backup, just before Christmas, and needed service immediately. Gabriel came out right away only to discover that the backup was not caused by a clog but actually by a cable company line running right through my sewer line. Gabriel helped coordinate with local city officials and the cable company to have the repairs (including lining the old pipe to make sure that any other cracks along the sweer line were fixes) were done quickly. Gabriel also installed a new hot water heater (not related to sewer problem) on Christmas Eve. I did not price shop so I do not have anything to compare their prices to.

I purchased a dishwasher but when it was delivered the man who was going to install it said my water valve was frozen and I needed a plumber to fix it before he could continue with the installation. I called Barker and Sons Plumbing, explained the situation, and they sent someone out in less than an hour! They didn't charge me any extra fee for it either. The job was done quickly, the plumber was very professional, and I now have my new dishwasher installed. This company is great - great service, great price, and great knowledge.

They showed up on a Saturday, the same day I called, and helped fix a leaky toilet and had to reroute something in the A/C. A pipe was sticking out onto the drywall over a window and causing rust stains on the wall. He removed the pipe and fixed the path of the water in the A/C so there was no need for the pipe! l'm not using correct language, but I'm not a plumber! They were super nice and fast! We have used them several times since and are now our go-to plumber! I felt the price of the service matched the quality of their service. I felt they were very fair and that is why we keep using them!

Gabriel provided estimates for various outcomes. The repair was quick and well done.
