Barnes Plumbing Co

I have been very happy with Barnes Plumbing over the years. I have used them many times and they always do a great job at a fair price. They put in all the plumbing for a new bathroom. They replaced my galvanized water pipes with PEX. They fixed a broken floor drain by breaking up the concrete floor in the basement and replacing the pipe. They have always been very reliable and they have great communication.

We had Barnes Plumbing to our home to repair a pipe and install a faucet, and to remove several gas pipes and cap them off. Pipes went to a couple auxillary furnaces and a fireplace we no longer used. Jordan had all of it done in an hour. Friendly and professional. We'll definitely use Barnes again. Services: Faucet installation, Shower repair, Faucet repair

Jordan came to repair a leaking drain and not only was he very efficient, but he noticed a small leak in a water line and fixed that too. He ended up replacing about twice as much as I'd anticipated, but he was so quick that it was still less than expected. It's been a year and a half and we haven't had any issues with his work.

Barnes Plumbing has done work in my 1941-built house for close to ten years. Owner Mike recently installed a Symmons tub and shower system, Watco bathtub trim kit and Delta ADA grab bar. A Symmons remodel cover plate was necessary, and making it fit properly against the ceramic tile required replacing a copper riser behind the wall. The toilet had been ghost flushing, so Mike replaced the flush valve and flapper.

He also switched the old toilet handle for a better one. Mike did the work quickly, thoroughly and at a very reasonable cost. He left the bathroom as clean as he found it. One of his employees, no longer with the company, had replaced my centerset bathroom sink faucet a year ago. The grey gasket between the faucet body and sink had not been positioned perfectly but stuck out a wee bit on one side. I'm an admitted perfectionist--it irritated me every time I cleaned the sink.

I mentioned the flaw to Mike but did not ask that he address it. Turns out, he's a perfectionist too--without a word, he made it right. As for the office staff, your scheduling and billing will be done by one of the most pleasant women on the planet. Her name is Cathy. Or Kathy. Or Kathee. Or who knows in these days of weird spellings?

I would look elsewhere for a plumber. They did the plumbing work and installed a new boiler less than 5 years ago in the home that I bought. The solder joint to the expansion tank was done poorly and leaked, which then shorted out my circulation pump, and thus caused me to lose heat last night. I'm very thankful that my friend and I made it to Menards before they closed, and that it failed a few weeks after we were out of country on vacation. That, and if it wasn't for friends this mistake would have ended up costing me hundreds if not up to a thousand for a emergency plumber visit.

I called a few companies and Barnes said they could fix our kitchen faucet a day later than I'd hoped, but still within the week. Sad to say, the guy showed up to fix the faucet and first said his office hadn't said anything about a faucet. Then he said he didn't have parts but that I could hunt down the parts myself, or that he could sell me a new faucet starting at about $300.

He blamed their very nice secretary for not asking me enough questions. They don't stock the parts (they only carry parts for 2 brands, not even including Kohler). I'm disappointed, and hope that others have a better experience.

My Mom has used Barnes Plumbing in the past and they were our first call to help unclog the bathroom sink. Will did a marvelous job representing the company. He assessed the situation, went to the truck to get his tools and had the whole problem resolved in 45 minutes. Will is personable, polite, and was a pleasure to talk with before and after his work was done.

We will definitely call Barnes Plumbing for future plumbing work. remodeling as well as repairs and we'll definitely ask for Will to come again. We highly recommend them!

Barnes Plumbing was recommended to me by a Facebook friend. I hadn't used my shower for over a year because of a leak in the pipe inside the wall. The technician (unfortunately I can't remember his name) came all the way to my house in the western suburbs. After checking and testing everything there was no leak! Apparently sometimes this happens, maybe a piece of rust or sediment blocks what was obviously a small leak.

He recommended placing a water alarm near the pipe so we would know right away if it leaked again. Very friendly and professional. Best of all, when asked how much I owed him, expecting to pay for his time and all that travel, he told me nothing! He didn't do any work so I didn't owe any money. I was shocked, I've always paid for service calls in the past even if I didn't have work done. Highly recommend. Superior service.

I called Barnes Plumbing to have them take care of some minor repairs around the house. The office staff was very friendly when I was scheduling the work and Chris the plumber who arrived was also very friendly and professional. He called 20 minutes before arriving, used boot covers the whole time, and was happy to answer many questions and explain various plumbing components throughout my newly purchased home.

He also thoroughly tested his repairs and actually caught a small pipe crack that was overlooked at first. Labor rate seems average, but he charged me an extra 15 minutes when he had to run to the hardware store for a basic part. Overall, I am happy with the work and would recommend Chris to others needing plumbing service.
