Customer Reviews

Rhine Ramirez

Needed help with a troublesome faucet at my home. Called Barnett and they sent me a tech (Francis) within 2 hours. When Francis was on his way, I got a text with a map showing me where Francis was with an ETA. Very helpful for managing my day. When Francis got there, immediate solid rapport. Great vibes and very knowledgeable. Francis fixed the faucet, told me exactly what was wrong and did it with incredible professionalism. I can't recommend Barnett and Francis enough for the amazing service and experience they provided me with today. If you need plumbing assistance, don't even waste your time trying to find someone else. Barnett is simply the best.

Albert Tasmin

We had Barnett plumbing come out to inspect our water heater and change out our anode rod and flush the water heater. I had called in the morning and received a call back promptly to set up an appointment the next day. They text you to provide an updated eta. We had Francis come and help us that day. He was very knowledgeable and kind. He took the time to explain water heater/ softener and anode rod in detail. We were able to get the anode rod changed out fairly quickly. Later in the day, one of our showers had low pressure. I called the office to let them know and Francis came back after his shift. Sediment had gotten into the shower fixture and he was able to quickly clean it. Great experience

Lamee Studios

Based on a friend's recommendation, we called Barnett Plumbing when our water heater gave up. Juanita scheduled someone to come out that day. The tech that arrived (wish I could remember his name) was thorough, explained the various options, and quoted us prices for each. We appreciated his honest, no-pressure opinions. After making our choice, Barnett's was able to schedule the installation for the next day. Alberto, the tech that did the install, was fantastic! He explained the work he was planning to do, and once completed, he showed us exactly what he had done. He did a beautiful job, and we appreciated his thoroughness. We give Barnett's plumbing 5-stars, and will definitely recommend them to others!
