Barcena Plumbing deserves all of the 5 star reviews they've been getting. I have a serious issue going on with a grey water line that runs beneath my driveway, so I looked on Yelp for recommended plumbers. After getting the standard price quotes from several companies, I quickly narrowed it down to Barcena and one other company with excellent reviews. They both had good pricing and never tried to up sell me on the phone. Obviously, they run a tight ship, have lots of customers, earn a fair compensation for expert services, and are in business for the long haul. When I called Barcena, the receptionist answered right away. I told her situation was complicated so i'd need to speak with a technician. Pablo, the owner of the company, called me the next morning and very patiently listened while I explained my complicated problem. He asked me to send photos, then gave me options and pricing. I ended up calling him a couple of different times, and he always gave me his full attention offering ideas so I could save money by hiring a handyman to do some of the digging first. Mind you, this was all BEFORE I hired any services or paid Barcena any money. God business practice, you can tell they are trying to keep customers for the long haul, not just take the money and run. Today two workers from Barcena came to snake my line, Steve and Kenny, both really nice guys and good at what they do. They tried four different blades, two different machines, worked for about 2 hours really trying their best to clear the blockage. They answered all of my extensive questions patiently. In the end, it turns out they could not clear the blockage, but I know they did everything in the book to try, because I was watching the whole time. What they did not do was try to up sell me. They knew I have a handyman who can dig and do concrete, and some pipe work. With a lot of plumbers, their game is to up sell with expensive fixes that may or may not work. Barcena is the opposite. They generously gave me some really good ideas on how my handyman and I could try to fix the issue. Some of their suggestions could actually save me a lot of money in the end. They also told me what kind of fittings they'd use themselves. I don't write that many Yelp reviews. But I rely on Yelp to find good honest workers. I that's what you're looking for, you'd do well to call Barcena. I'm glad I did. Really a well run company. Every single staff person I spoke form, from the receptionist to the owner, was a good experience. read more

I will recommend Barcena Plumbing to everyone I know. David and Jose did a great job on a very stubborn clog at my kitchen sink area. Worked very hard in this first heat wave of the summer. Thank you David and Jose. read more

A few months ago, we had a different company try to tell us that the roots clogging out drain could only be fixed by completing replacing the main line, costing thousands of dollars, which didn't make much sense since there was only one toilet clogged. Barcena came out and removed the toilet, removed the nest of roots, snaked the drain, and put the toilet bag, and we haven't had any more trouble. I'm sure it's not a permanent fix, but it cost less than $200. They were honest. The plumber was courteous and quick. This is what plumbing service should be like. read more

This was my second time using Barcena Plumbing and I was equally as impressed and happy as the first time. They were quick to answer my call, get to my house and had the job done all with in a couple hours. Great customer service. Can't recommend them enough. read more

They came out very quickly and helped my daughter with a broken water line inside the house. You rescued her when we could not be there!! We really appreciate your service and now our daughter has a plumbing company she can trust for future needs! read more

Barcena Plumbing has earned my continued support as I have used them 3 times over the last 3 months. When the Covad quarantine started my wife asked me to replace our faucets in the master bathroom. I thought it was something I could handle, until I ran into problems trying to remove them, as they had been in use for more than 30 years. I looked around for assistance and discovered Barcena Plumbing. Pablo came out and did a terrific job. Their prices are fair and reasonable, such that I also had them install the faucets as well. And equally as important, since my wife is a Nurse, they were Covad ready, with a face mask and shoe coverings. Great job. A few weeks later, our water heater went out and I called Barcena for help with the installation of a new one, since my first experience was good. Barcena didn't disappoint as they sent out 2 technicians and within a reasonable amount of time, we were back in business with hot water in the house again. And once again, their pricing was fair and reasonable. And now a month later, I needed help with a gas line to the BBQ that had cracked due to water corrosion; so I called and made an appointment. Pablo and another technician arrived on time; evaluated the problem and put me back in business, just in time for the summer BBQ season. Thank you. I find comfort in knowing who to call now, for all of my future plumbing needs. read more

Hands down Barcena Plumbing is the BEST plumbing company in all of Simi Valley and surrounding areas. From the first call to make the appointment, til the job was done, they are by far the most honest and professional plumbing company around. If you want a great an honest job done, call Barcena at 805-583-8030. The only one we will ever use. ++ read more

Needed a shut off valve replacement and got great service at a fair price. They were very honest on cost of work, didn't feel pressured or that I was getting ripped off. They are on top of our contact list read more

Professional and helpful throughout entire process. Went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Will definitely be my go to plumber.

They were punctual. Considerate...loved how they put booties on over their shoes to keep our floors clean. Customer service was excellent. They were polite and respectful. They fixed a headache of a problem with my bathroom sink in a jiffy. They took everything out and put everything back in!! Ladies....now I don't know if that's just my OCD (or if it's a woman's thing) but, damn it, I almost shed a tear. To top it off prices were reasonable. They will be my go to go guys for any plumbing issues going forward. Highly recommend Barcenas Plumbing. #anothersatisfiedcustomer read more

We moved into our house and all of the water fixtures worked except our guest tub/shower. Stephen showed up and quickly determined the problem was an old frozen tub/shower cartridge. Stephen replaced the cartridge, and now we are good to go. Stephen was very professional and skilled. Barcena Plumbing will definitely be our go-to plumber! read more

I can't say enough about Barcena Plumbing. They saved my wife and I $1,200 in unnecessary plumbing fees and were incredibly responsive to an urgent kitchen sink stoppage issue. I called Theresa this morning and within an hour I had someone at our door eager to help solve our plumbing challenge. We were seeking a second opinion, to be honest, but it became apparent that the original estimate we received from a competitor was...excessive. Pablo asked if he could try a snaking procedure, which the previous plumber had tried and "failed" at the day before. Pablo was successful, and within an hour he packed up his gear and was on his way. Barcena Plumbing was kind, courteous, professional and of course, beyond competent. I won't hesitate to recommend them in the future, as my parents have done in the past as have their friends. Thank you, Pablo and Theresa! read more

Wow what a great team, Pablo and David came and unplugged my house. I wish I would have known about them on Saturday. Great guys and a great price! read more

Had our 50 gal. Hot water heater leaking. Called Barcena within 15 minutes we had a return call. Had an cancellation and that afternoon we had a New Water heater installed. Pablo and his partner came out, removed the old one and along with our old solar heater which was next to it since 2000. Great professional service as we will be using them in the near future for all our plumbing needs. Thank you again, God Bless Mike O. read more

Our kitchen sink backed-up on Friday night before Easter weekend. I had planned to cook for Easter which meant I needed my sink. I called to arrange an emergency visit and Pablo arrived on Saturday morning. He wore a mask, gloves and booties to ensure cleanliness and protection from germs. He was able to snake the drain and clear the clog. Pablo was not only very kind but extremely professional as well. He also disinfected all areas he touched before he left. I'm very grateful for Barcena Plumbing and Pablo's expertise. We were able to have a wonderful Easter Dinner here while staying safe at home. I highly recommend their services!! read more

Doing a bathroom remodel (weekend DIY warriors), we ran into some plumbing issues when we opened the walls due to the poor quality of the work that was done when the house was built. We also wanted to install a new shower valve and fix the copper routing mess. After calling 4-5 of the recommended plumbers on Yelp, most of them were too busy to come out or return calls. Barcena called back the same day (on a Sunday!) as we were in a jam and could not move forward with tiling and showed up right away a couple days later. Steve and Tyler came to the house and after looking at it, Steve knew right away what needed to be done. He did an awesome job re-routing the copper lines and installing the new shower valve. He was very nice, friendly and professional and you can see that he takes pride in his work. We also bugged him with a bunch of questions and he gave us a lot of great advice, regarding our water heater and other plumbing questions. The service was fast, professional and very competitive price wise. Will definitely recommend Barcena Plumbing and will use them in the future. read more

Just had service from Kenneth Villarama from Barcena Plumbing. The guy was professional, fixed my water heater pilot in a few minutes for just the prices of a service. I had a guy from Thousand Oaks Plumbing come out about an hour earlier who tried to charge me $1,100 to fix nonexistent issues. Please use Barcena as they are honest and do good work. Thank you Kenneth for your honesty read more

So glad I went with Barcena Plumbing! Saw on my neighborhood site that my neighbor has used them for many years and they also have many happy repeat customers. Had a great experience over the phone scheduling with Teresa. A few days later the owner Pablo came out and repaired the leak under my kitchen sink. Afterwards he asked if there was anything else that needed his attention and I remembered the upstairs secondary bathroom needed a new tub stopper and spout. He didn't have the parts in his van but after he left Teresa called and scheduled another service visit (at no fee!). Just charged for the parts and labor :) Now that bathroom looks like new. Oh, I forgot to mention Pablo looked at my powder room toilet's caulking and said his guys could redo that. They did also at no charge. So so happy I read the reviews for Barcena Plumbing and decided to go with them! read more

I had wonderful experience!! Always keep me informed like arriving time and few days after the service, Called me to make sure every working right, no more leaking...etc Such a wonderful customer services!! Right? I would recommend to anyone^_^ and of course I will call them again if I need help!! Thank you so so very much!! I really had awesome experiences!!! read more

I am so impressed with Pablo and Barcena plumbing. Excellent response time and excellent communication!!

I've used this company twice. Good service, nice people, and reasonably priced. Would highly recommend.

Barcena Plumbing was not what I normally excepted from a plumber. They were able to give a rough estimate over the phone , the time frame they provided was right on, plumber showed up with a facemask, covered his shoes. Well worth it , and very honest company. They excepted credit card payments as well with no additional charge , and offered a warranty if there is an issue for 6 months. Small business located in Simi Valley much better than calling some price bargain add and having someone come out and try to upsell you more stuff. Barcena was able to fix the problem on the same service call . read more

I don't ever do reviews since I'm so busy. But, these guys are amazing. Darryl and Ken came out this week to install two bathroom vanities and two toilets. They're professional, nice, clean, careful and skillful. Can't ask for me. I spent YEARS trying to find reliable and honest plumbers and I'm so grateful to have found this company. Great work!! And, Brianna and Theresa in the office are also so helpful and friendly. They call when they say they will and handle things very professionally. Highly recommend them. read more

Called a few plumbers about my tankless water heater , did not like the way they they wanted to sell me a new one before they diagnosed the problem , on my old one , thankfully I trusted my gut & made another call to Barcena plumbing & spoke with Theresa she did a great job listening & setting up a time we're the manufacturer & there outstanding technician Steve could troubleshoot the problem. Steve worked with the manufacturer of the unit they cleaned some connections & had us fixed up in under a hour I would recommend this company 5 stars outstanding !!! read more

We are extremely pleased with the service we received from Barcena Plumbing. Pablo, who did the estimate, was professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. Teresa was extremely helpful in helping us locate a leak detector and getting us scheduled in a very timely manner due to our slab leak emergency. Ken and Daryl were efficient, skillful, respectful, and clean. I am happy to give Barcena Plumbing the highest rating. I highly recommend them. read more

I had a clog in my kitchen sink that my 15 foot long snake could not reach. So I called Barcena Plumbing and they sent over a plumber within a few hours. He was able to dislodge the clog with his 75 foot snake. The job was well done and took a little over an hour. My only problem is the cost charged, $224. I think that is excessive and will use a rooter company in the future for clogs and use Barcena for more traditional plumbing issues. Lesson learned. read more

Efficient, fast and awesome. I called this morning and they were able to fit me in within 30 minutes because a job was canceled. He came out, assessed the needs for repair and had everything completed fast and working great. We will use them again! read more

I had my water heater replaced yesterday and was given a very competitive price. The response was timely and the job was completed to my complete satisfaction. read more

I have a new plumbing service!!!!!!!! Quick, clean, pleasant, and super affordable and was here on a Saturday within a couple of hours .....before most of the others even called back!!!! Thanks. I am sure I will be calling again Had them back a second time and guess what ...all still applies. QUICK, clean, PROFESSIONAL and PLEASANT. Kept me posted on arrival time and did what I requested without overcharging. Favorite plumbers!!!! read more

I have hired Barcena Plumbing on multiple occasions. Because of their amazing service, they are my "Go-To" plumber for all my plumbing needs in my home. Such a find. I have referred them to friends and family many times. There is so much comfort knowing that when you need work done, it is done right the first time due to their years of experience in the plumbing industry. Barcena Plumbing is by far the best service company I have ever had work on my home. No matter who you come into contact with at Barcena Plumbing - Pablo, Steve #1, Steve #2, and Theresa - you will always receive great service, and your plumbing problem gets fixed in an efficient manner. You can tell customer service is their #1 priority. Thank you as always Barcena Plumbing! read more

We are completing a kitchen remodel. We had these guys come out a couple of weeks ago to move a gas line. Great job. This was our first time using them. We had them come again today to install the faucet and garbage disposal. Again, great job! Very happy. They are courteous, efficient and clean. They are concerned with the details and doing it the right way. We highly recommend them and are very happy with their work! read more

We have used Barcena for years at our busy salon and our home. They always come right away and do a fantastic job. Pablo and his guys are the best. His office staff is always professional and now I am getting reminder calls from Brianna. She's awesome! read more

I recently hired this company to fix a leaky bathroom faucet and replace broken bathroom shower fixtures. I was immediately impressed with the friendliness of the office staff. Their texts were prompt also. Teresa called when when an earlier appointment opened. The plumber Darryl was knowledgeable and made me feel at ease with someone new being in my home during a pandemic. The prices were incredibly reasonable. I received a follow up text asking me if I was happy with their service. This company sent me a holiday card which I thought was great customer service. I highly recommend Barcena Plumbing. read more

Pablo did a great job. He re-piped my entire house, changed my water heater and fixed an annoying leak from the subfloor I had for years. The new pipes are quiet, the water pressure is great, no more leaks and his team did a professional job. They are honest and do great work. I will recommend them to anyone that needs a plumber! read more

So I just found our new plumber!!! Our toilet clogged like I have never seen in my life - overflowing, cannot plunge - thanks to my "growing" young man in the house. Found Barcena Plumbing on Yelp. I wanted to keep it local since it was going to be an after hours thing, but also someone with good ratings. SPOT ON on both areas. Pablo got here as soon as he could, fixed the problem, made VERY sure it was fully fixed (not just one flush, it is OK now...) and while he was here, tightened up a leaky spigot we had at no additional charge. So happy to say, next time someone asks "Do you know a good plumber?" I can answer "Yes, yes I do!" read more

I have used Barcena Plumbing for several jobs, small and large, and they have always done a great job! We have had them do planned jobs like plumbing in shower replacements and replacing toilets. We have called them for emergency drain clearing. That was what I needed today (a Sunday), and I almost did not call the because they are closed on weekends. But I gave it a shot and reached an actual answering service with a live person! She took my information and passed it on to the person on call (Daryl - great guy). He called back within 15 minutes and was at my house in less than an hour. He ran the snake down the lateral from the outside cleanout and had the clog out in 15 minutes. He was on his way back to his family and I was able to get back to my plans for the day. I always try to use local businesses rather than big chain operations. Here is a great example why. The other "rooter" chain companies I called in my morning panic finally called back AFTER Barcena Plumbing had finished the job! I cannot recommend them highly enough. read more

Smelled gas in the laundry area. Called and got these guys to come out same day in a couple of hours of calling. The work was done super fast the price for replacing a leaky gas valve was less than I thought it would be. read more

We have several properties - residential and commercial - some we inhabit, some we renovate to sell. We use Barcena Plumbing for all of our plumbing needs and they NEVER disappoint. The entire team is thorough, honest, reliable and always have a great attitude. I truly don't understand the couple negative reviews. After 4 years of working with them, I have found them to be nothing short of fantastic. Pablo, Teresa, Daryl and Steve are awesome. I highly recommend them and hope to never lose them as subs for my projects. Thanks guys!! You are the best :) read more

We have used Pablo since he was one man with a van. Now 20 years later he has expanded. They have good prices, are reliable and get out to you quickly. No matter what you need they will get it done! read more

I recently purchased an under-the-sink water filter and started the installation. After completing a portion of the installation I realized that I had reached the limit of my knowledge and capability to complete the job with confidence. At this point I decided to bring in a professional plumber to complete the job. Barcena Plumbing in Simi Valley had installed a new water heater for me 3 or 4 years ago and I was happy with the job and always try to support locally owed and operated businesses, so I called them. When I called a very pleasant lady gave me an appointment for the next day. About an hour later she called and told me that they had a spot open that afternoon if that would work for me. She gave me about a 2 hour window and said that she would call about 25-30 minutes before the technician arrived. Sure enough I got the call and about 20 minutes latter Ken showed up. After assessing the problem he set to work and did his job and took exceptional care to double check everything. The next day Ken checked in to make sure that everything was ok. I owned a service oriented business in Simi Valley for more than 20 years and I hope that my customers were as happy with our processional, ethical, and cheerful service as that of Barcena. Good work guys. Jim read more
