Barnes Plumbing Co, Inc.

Barnes has always provided solid, quality work for very reasonable prices. I’m fairly handy, but I know my limits. Anytime the work is behind what I’m able to handle, I call Barnes. They’re always able to come quickly. Once they were even able to get to me in 20 minutes on Friday in the late afternoon bc I’d accidentally broken the water shut off knob while installing a new faucet (thankfully the water was already off)! They’ve been our first call for years because of their quality work, reasonable pricing, and great customer service.

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.

My wife and I reached out to Barns Plumbing to replace some galvanized piping for some pex piping. This was a 30-foot run from our laundry room to the kitchen, and they quoted us $2,500.00. We agreed and when the plumber showed up on site, he told us he was going to vacate the pipe. We had agreed to a price to REPLACE the piping, not vacate the existing piping. The plumber walked off site. I reached out to the owner, and he said that when they say they are going to replace piping, that actually means vacate and install. He stated that it was our fault for being cheap and not wanting to pay for the work. I was okay paying $2,500 to REPLACE piping, not $2,500 to snake pex piping next to a vacated pipe. I told the owner, Mike, to look up the definition of work for replacing piping and he tol

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.

The work and the small leak were fixed quickly with no issues . I am writing this because of what happened after . My work was done in March 2022 . When they were done I asked how much the job was ? prepared to write a check . The gentleman performing the work stated QUOTE we will bill you . I JUST received a bill for $290 8 months later just in time for Christmas . I am blown away it took 8 months to receive a bill for work done . I could go on BUT I suggest this !! get your total in writing immediately !! If you don't see a bill in a month I would inquire . I called about the bill and the work performed with no solid explanation . The work performed beginning to end was about 30 minutes . JUST another heads up I was told there is a 1 hour minimum @ $230 an hour for daytime wor
