Barack Plumbing

I am so glad that I found Corey of Barack Plumbing. He set an alcove bathtub for me and plumbed the valve wall for a shower tub that we were replacing. His workmanship was outstanding. He was professional, courteous, and careful in every aspect of this job. He takes pride in his profession and the work that he does. As an aspiring DIY'er I was able to demolish most of our old and cracked fiberglass surround, however with a condo unit below me I did not want to risk doing something wrong as an amateur. When it came to removing and then installing a new bathtub I knew that a licensed professional was needed and that is why I am so thankful that I found Corey. The company is outstanding. They are so kind and professional. I cannot repeat that enough. Corey gave me options for a replacement bathtub (something that will last a lot longer than the old fiberglass tub that we had) and took care of every aspect of the job efficiently and professionally. While doing the job he discovered that the water shut off in our unit was no longer functioning. He had parts (and a valve) on hand to actually repair that totally separate issue during the bathtub job. I would not have discovered this issue if it were not for him (we also would not have been able to shut the water off to our unit in an emergency without a working valve!) Further, he told me that whenever my tile work was finished he would come back and finish the install of the trim for the shower and faucet fixtures. He came as soon as the tile was done just like he said and finalized everything for us. The shower turned out beautifully and we literally could not have done it without his plumbing expertise. Most importantly, he put me at ease during the entire process of getting this big plumbing job done. I cannot recommend Barack Plumbing enough. Corey and company, I cannot thank you enough!

Live in Keahou area. Our water is good but, is groundwater, treated with chlorine, travels through steel mainlines, stored in steel reservoirs (not coated). So, I decided on an ISpring 3-stage filter for Iron, Maganese, Chlorine, and other secondary particulates. BARACK PLUMBING was responsive to my call, provided a reasonable quote, stuck to their scheduled install date, and did a professional job. I appreciated their solid copper plumbing, use of SS ball valves, and clean/courteous approach. They did a great job in a short time frame. If you're thinking of a multistage filter on the Island, I suggest the Ispring Heavy duty, not available in local stores. It is much larger and will run longer before needing a filter change (equals savings). I bought mine from Amazon and also purchased a pre-filter for sediment. The pre filter has a discharge port for simple flushing, and will help extend the life of the more expensive filters.

I called Barack plumbing when my tankless water heater stopped working and was pleasantly surprised that Cory, the owner, could come look at the heater the following morning. Cory arrived on time and did everything he could to get it going again, but the heater was 18 years old and was done. Cory then moved some of his appointments around so he could have time to do a full tankless water heater install 2 days later, knowing what an emergency that no hot water can be. Cory and Riley then installed the new one and quickly made an unexpected modification to the existing house vent so the new heater would work flawlessly. The results are outstanding! Not only does the new heater work perfectly, but the craftsmanship of the entire job is also unmatched with its beautiful pipe routing and sturdy, reliable installation. Throughout the whole install, Cory kept me informed of what was happening at every step. They take wonderful care of your house the whole time, the finished work is spectacular. Fast, friendly, professional service with affordable pricing. I highly recommend Barack plumbing for any plumbing needs, you won't be disappointed!

Worst service and communicator. Worked on getting me a quote then after I pulled the permits he canceled on me without a good explanation. Rude as well. Can't recommend.

After trouble with another plumber, Barack Plumbing actually got back to me and made an appointment for the next day. Cory was a little bit late, but he communicated that to me, which was very much appreciated. We discussed the concern that I had, and then checked another area that he said he would send me an estimate on. He sent the estimate the next day, in a very timely manner!

We needed walk-in shower for mother in law who had difficulty accessing her shower tub combo. Cory was responsive, thoughtful, and reasonable. He suggested local ""in stock"" fixtures. He accommodated our project completion dates and cleaned up very nicely. From demolition to finishing paint Cory takes pride and knows the business.

Cory was able to go to my property on short notice to fix a broken shower tub faucet and get my toilet running again. Easy to communicate with and efficient. Would recommend.

Cory has done a number of projects for us and never fails to satisfy. He performed the plumbing for a shower replacement, replaced several valves, repaired a pipe leak, and installed a laundry sink. He provides a plan and executes it. Extremely professional, on time and does a great job. He's the first call I make for any plumbing needs.

I have used Barack Plumbing & Construction for various projects, and one complete remodel of a bathroom in a cabin in South Lake Tahoe. The cabin is a vacation property and I was not able to be onsite when Cory and his team managed the remodel. First, I could not be happier with the quality of the work. Absolutely fantastic. He took the time to contact me and explain how one of my choices for border tile wasn't going to look right, so I was able to find something that gave me the result he knew that I wanted. Here are the attributes that I look for and received from Cory: Responsiveness. When he says he is going to show up, he does. And if he cannot, he will call or text. Flexible. He worked with me when things came up since I was not onsite. He would send me pictures, video, whatever was needed to help us communicate. Fair. He is very fair with his pricing and work ethic. Very high work standards. Enough said there. I grew up with a father and brother in the trades who had an eye for incredible details, I have it too. And I recognize it when I see it and am so happy when I receive it with people I hire. Respectful. He is respectful of direction, changes, feedback. Reliable. He always shows up. If you have a problem, he has a solution. And his solultions and recommendations are always well thought out. Extremely logical and the correct approach to do things right, never cuts corners. I think if you are looking for someone who knows their craft and want a beautiful result, Cory is your person.

Cory remodeled my bathroom from top to bottom and did an excellent job. Five stars for everything involved in the job
