  We have used Harry Barr plumbing company on three occasions. I find them to be very reliable and extremely knowledgeable in their work. I also find them trustworthy and very fair in their pricing. I am thankful to have found such a good company that I could depend on for our family properties.

  Barr Plumbing destroyed the downstairs of our home causing thousands of dollars of damage. He installed a toilet in our upstairs master bathroom and neglected to seal the shut-off valve on the toilet. He also never sealed the baseboard heating in both upstairs bathrooms that he had installed. His mistake caused a waterfall to flow from the upstairs bathroom through the ceiling of our downstairs bathroom, creating significant water damage to our downstairs bathroom, the kitchen ceiling and adjoining living room walls. We had hired Barr Plumbing to prevent floods not cause them. He openly admitted that it was his worker’s error. However, he tried to bully me into agreeing to have him just patch up the ceiling and not to worry that there shouldn’t be any water or mold damage. This was the farthest from the truth. Water had seeped through the walls and insulation down to the flooring and it was a mess. This was confirmed by experts who we had evaluate the situation so we would know how to proceed. We initially hired Barr Plumbing to replace pipes in our upstairs bathrooms. When his workers were doing the work initially at our house, I noticed that they were always in a rush to get moving to the next job. The workers were constantly being interrupted by phone calls and text messages that completely distracted them. I believe this is what caused them to negligently forget to seal the baseboard heating and toilet. When you rush a job, errors happen. This showed me the company’s total disregard and lack of caring. When Harry Barr confronted me after he caused flooding in my house, he said his reputation means everything to him. Well, if it did, he didn’t show it because during the weeks his workers were at our house, he never once came to check on the job or the work being done. He filed a claim with his insurance carrier to report the damage he caused. We have yet to receive reimbursement from his insurance carrier. What’s even worse was that he texted us to find out if we ever received his bill and obviously he’s wondering when he is going to get paid. What nerve! After asking around, we learned that his insurance company is the bottom of the barrel. I guess, birds of a feather flock together. We were without a downstairs bathroom for over 3 mos. To top it off, our teenage daughter had foot issues and was to have foot surgery. She was immobile and any time she needed the bathroom she would have to crawl upstairs. We had move on this and layout more money upfront to get the bathroom done before she returned home from the hospital after her surgery. At the very beginning of the job, at his suggestion, we placed a “special order” for parts for our shower (the cost of $900 that had to be prepaid) from the plumbing supply company he told us to use in Wayne on Hamburg Turnpike. Mr. Barr sent one of his workers to pick them up. A few weeks went by before the parts were able to be installed. When they were to be installed, we could not find the parts that his worker said he supposedly delivered to our house. We showed him the invoice of the parts that were to have been picked up and they were nowhere to be found. Since the order showed that they were picked up at the plumbing supply store, we were stuck because we had already prepaid for the parts. One of his worker admitted to us that he didn’t even check the box of parts he picked up to make sure all of the parts were there from the plumbing supply store because he said he was in a rush and he wasn’t able to recall if all of the parts were actually there. Another one of the workers told us that they have had issues with this plumbing supply store and it happens all the time. Parts that would have cost us $900, ended up costing us $1600 because we had to replace the order (from another company). Had his company properly done its job, we would not have ended up spending money we didn’t need to spend. Come to your own conclusion of whether you want to hire this plumbing company.

  WOW! Amazing service and totally professional!!! I called Harry on Monday evening...he asked if it was an emergency (it was not) and he came over the next morning. He and Fonzi fixed our issue in a short amount of time, and also taught me how to use the gas fireplace. This is the second time we used Harry Barr Plumbing. The first was to install a garbage disposal. That also was smooth and quick! Harry also knows lots of people in town and referred me to a mason as well. Highly, highly recommend calling Harry!
