Estimates are free, and we have a list of very satisfied clients willing to share their positive experience with Barner Murphy, Inc., and our contracting partners.

Our house is pretty old and after all of the plumbing issues we've had, we decided to have our kitchen sink/disposal replaced by a professional. After looking for a reliable plumber for months, we found Barner Murphy on Angie's List - thank goodness! Before we found them, we'd contacted about 5 other plumbers and our calls were either not returned or the plumbers were no-shows for scheduled appointments (beyond frustrating!). Barry returned my call promptly & came out a couple of days later to take a look at what he'd be working with and provide an estimate. He also gave us some very helpful tips for what kind of sink we should purchase and even the type of mounting clips we'd need in order to accommodate our thicker countertops. He basically saved us time and money right off the bat. Barry and his colleague Matt showed up promptly and got straight to work. Not surprisingly, the job ended up being more involved & complex due to how the previous owner installed the old sink but they handled it like pros. I'm extremely happy with the sink and I can't express how appreciative we are to have found this gem of a plumber! In a nutshell: returns calls & emails promptly, gives honest assessment of cost/job, very professional & personable. If only there was an A+ rating.

Barner Murphy, specifically Barry Murphy, acted as our general contractor and coordinated all the components, from demolition through to project completion.
Everything went smoothly. At the beginning of the project, I was given a tentative schedule of the workflow, i.e.:
Day 1 -- demolition,
Day 2-5, carpentry work begins
Day 5, electrical work begins
Day 7, tile installation begins, etc.
So I was always aware of who was in my home working on which project. Barry himself installed our high-end, delicate plumbing fixtures with no problems -- including an extremely heavy cast iron tub! The few minor hiccups (which were caused by the one company I hired independent of Barner Murphy) were taken care of seamlessly and never caused me a moment's worry.
Barry and his team were always on time and would let me know well in advance if there was a change. The project started on schedule and finished well within the estimated timeframe. They were neat, friendly and most importantly experts in their profession. I was given progress reports daily and all of my questions (no matter how trivial) were answered.
If there was an A+++ rating, they would get it from me. I'm now a customer for life; in fact, I'm already planning my next project...
"Thank you so much for this review, (Member name removed). we are thrilled everything meets with you and your husband's expectations. What also helps in completing a project like this, is a customer who is decisive and knows what they want. You had a specific vision, and it was our pleasure bringing it to fruition for you. Communication is an invaluable part of the process and all my contracting partners had a likewise pleasurable experience working for you guys. Thank you for giving me and my team the opportunity, as we know you will enjoy your beautiful bathroom for many years to come. Kindest Regards Barry K. Murphy"
"(Member name removed) installation came with some pre-existing challenges that we had to work around and it took serveral visits to get it functioning as expected. I appreciate this review as it verifies that we are successfully at minimum meeting the needs of, and surpassing the expectations of our clients. We, at Barner Murphy, Inc., focus on this goal on a daily basis, and feel that this is what helps separate us from our competitors. It was a pleasure working with (Member name removed) to give her peace of mind that her basement flooding concerns are less likely to occur in the future. Thank you for taking the time to review us (Member name removed), it is much appreciated. Kindest Regards Barry K. Murphy"
