Tap in my shower broke. After 2 visits to my local Lowes and unable to resolve the issue due to poor guidance from their staff I hired Frank. He was out the next day and fixed my issue quickly. He explained to me what the issue was, something professionals were unable to assist me with. I would reccomned hiring Frank to anyone that has a big or small job. I am planning on replacing my kitchen in the near future...and I will definitely be calling Frank. He was quick, knew what he was doing, did not try and sell me anything extra and I felt safe with him in my home. Thank you Frank!

Frank contacted me to discuss my problem. He was not far away so he swung by my house to see what was needed. He quickly identified what was needed and made the repair quickly. I got his card and won't hesitate to contact the next time I need plumbing services.

We contacted Frank after seeing his good reviews on Thumbtack and I agree with all the others that he is very prompt, knowledgeable, and fair with his charges. We had an issue with our water heater so we contacted Frank over five other plumbers. I didn't even have to give a single call to find/check parts as Frank did all the required work for us. Even-though our heater has warranty, there were some shipping issues so we did not have hot water for 6 days, Frank was very concerned about this matter and he spent hours and hours talking with the company to resolve this matter.
His name very well fits him as he is very frank when he does his job. It doesn't matter how many trips or how many days (or hours) he has to come to finish the wok, he will not charge any extra costs other than the initially agreed charges. We are very well satisfied with his service and happy to recommend him to others. We are so happy that we found Frank for all other future plumbing needs. Thank you very much Frank!

Thank you so much for your kind review. I am very upset with your water heater company (AO SMITH) and believe me I am not done with them. To leave a family especially with small children without hot water for that length of time is totally unacceptable and is actually a health issue. I'm very glad we got it straightened out and it was a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for choosing me.

Im a single mom and its always scary when something breaks but Frank was awesome and I made the right choice and hired the right plumber!! I needed a new bathroom sink, sink faucet and cartridges for 2 bathroom showers. I ended up needing new valves as well. Frank did those jobs as well as threw in replacing a shower head and unclogged a slow drain. I trusted him from the 1st call. He was my hired choice bc his price beat out the other quotes and he was quick to respond and schedule my appt to get the job done. He was friendly and professional. The cartridge was old and it was hard to come out but Frank stayed until the job was complete and made sure I had a working shower before he left. Both bathrooms are now good as new! I now have a life long plumber for all my future plumbing needs and will refer him to family and friends!

Kim thank you so much for the kind words. Clients like you are why I love my job. It was a pleasure to meet you and take care of your plumbing issues and as I tell everyone my work is guaranteed for five years and I am available 24/7 for any emergency. I thank you for choosing me and sometimes it's not the check at the end of the job, it's the smile on my customers faces when the problems are solved. Thanks again Kim it was wonderful meeting you and your son and I will be calling in the next few weeks for him to be my apprentice on a couple jobs. Maybe we will make him a plumber!!!

Mr. Frank Barbanera was very courteous when answering my initial telephone call, and talking to me about the work I desired to have done. After making an appointment to see the project area and what was requested, he was reasonably prompt. He listened to the desired work, inspected the work areas, and said what he could do and how he would do it; he also offered suggestions about other work that could/should be done, but he was not "pushy" or insistent that he do it now. On work day, he called to say he would arrive later our agreed upon time, and he informed me why he would be late. Upon arrival, we re-discussed the project(s), he re-inspected the work areas, reviewed the materials (job by job) that would be needed to insure all was on-hand to complete each job. After his (materials) review, and before starting the work, he mentioned a couple of items he would have to go buy. I did not notice any "goof-off" time; he diligently worked to complete each project in an efficient and proficient manner. This review is being written the day following the completion of his work. All is working as should be, i.e., my wife has no complaint(s)! prior to his departure, we discussed future projects I desire he complete.

TJ it was a pleasure meeting you and your better half. I'm sorry I had a late start, you had a part that was very difficult to locate and I finally found it after 3 plumbing supplies did not have it. I am very happy that you are satisfied with the jobs I did. I also want to thank you for your service and was happy to give you my military/law enforcement discount. Please feel free to call day or night if you need anything.
