Jose our installer was on time, professional and just an all round great guy!Posted on Pink DolphinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My water heater stopped working on a Friday night and I needed an emergency plumbing service because I had a guest visiting from another country. I called two companies that offered emergency visits but both would make me wait until Tuesday. Barnett technician came in the same day I called, understood the urgency, and fix the water heater in less than an hour and for half of the price of those two companies in Pleasanton. I’ll be only calling Barnett from now on. They are reliable and honest plumbing services.Posted on Edmilson PeixotoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Collin quickly understood the urgency of my situation and resolved the issue efficiently. He was highly professional, communicated clearly throughout the process, and demonstrated excellent attention to detail. I’d definitely recommend him. I also want to give kudos to Juanita that was very fast addressing the urgency of my water heater problem.Posted on Ed ChapmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Gio, the technician who arrived at the house, diagnosed and resolved the issue , no upsell just great service... Highly recommend Barnett plumbing.Posted on Rhine RamirezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
