Todd. Todd. Todd. Our hero - we had a dinner party planned for this evening and our disposal gave out. He was able to come to our house within 45 minutes and knock out the repair and replacement in another 40. He was professional, courteous, kind and so thorough. We recommend Todd anytime as he did an incredible job and we were able to get our dinner party going with no hiccups. Ask for him anytime you need help at Barnett’s as he is their best!+0Posted on Google![]()

Francis came out to diagnose our water heater after it suddenly stopped working. Unfortunately, the company that installed our original water heater had gone out of business, so we weren’t sure what to expect. Francis was absolutely wonderful! He spent a great deal of time thoroughly diagnosing the problem and exploring every possible option to get our water heater working again. He was really hoping it would be something as simple as a reset, but unfortunately, the water heater had reached the end of its life, which we had pretty much expected. What really impressed us was his dedication, patience, and professionalism. He didn’t rush through anything or give up easily. He genuinely wanted to find a solution and took the time to make sure every possibility had been explored. Even though our water heater couldn’t be saved, we couldn’t have been happier with the service Francis provided. It’s refreshing to have someone who truly cares about doing a great job and taking care of their customers. We highly recommend Francis and truly appreciate all the time and effort he put into helping us!Posted on Google![]()

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.
