This is our second time using Barnett Plumbing and Heating with continued success. They installed our water heater a few years ago, this time a toilet was leaking and needed the flange and associated piping replaced. Giovanni did an excellent job assessing and estimating the work, providing photos of the piping under the house and giving a clear explanation of the needed fixes/replacements and the total cost for the work. The next day, Arturo showed up on time, went straight to work, set up tarps to prevent any dirt tracking or mess, removed the old flange and piping and replaced it all, reinstalled the toilet and even swept the floor! Bonus: There is a 5 year guarantee on the work. Definitely keeping Barnett in my contact list. Pic of my happy properly functioning toilet.+0Posted on Google![]()

Might be on slightly on the pricier side but buy once, cry once. I’ve used Barnett Plumbing a few times over the past decade and they’ve always exceeded expectations. Friendly, knowledgeable, and transparent. I’d definitely recommend Barnett Plumbing, and Todd, to friends and family.Posted on Google![]()

Francis was very thorough and took his time to examine our situation. (We had been told by PGE that we would need a new igniter switch). It turned out that he was eventually able to manually relight the pilot on our water heater. Very grateful that he was able to come out on the same day we called.Posted on Google![]()

Dustin arrived promptly and got right to work prepping for the installation (while waiting for the units which had been “in stock” the previous day to be delivered). When the new units arrived, he installed them quickly, checked them out, and cleaned up.
