Barrera Plumbing Service

Barrera Plumbing Service handles plumbing work out of Creedmoor, Texas and covers homes and businesses across Central Texas. The company started in 2004 when Victor and Marisol Barrera opened it in San Marcos on the idea of treating customers like family. Victor Barrera Jr. brings more than thirty years of direct experience, having started in the trade at seventeen working with his father. Marisol adds over fifteen years managing the books and daily operations. The pair kept the outfit small and straightforward while expanding into repair work and new construction without losing the hands-on approach that got them going.

They show up for 24 hour calls to stop leaks before walls and floors get ruined, move roof vents on gas lines to clean up roof lines, and pull out old water heaters then set new ones in their place. Victor talks through jobs over the phone so homeowners know what is coming, and Westley brings a helper to handle the heavy lifting on water heater swaps while answering every question straight and laying out the full price before any tools come out. Crews work on houses built in the 1950s that still have the original pipes, finish the work the same day when possible, and walk the owner through the warranty paperwork once everything is back together.

Homeowners keep calling because the crew arrives fast on regular and emergency jobs, charges what was quoted without surprise add-ons, and explains every step in plain language so nobody feels left out of the decision. The same names come up again for polite manners on site and for getting the job done right the first time instead of creating more problems later. That steady record of honest pricing, clear talk, and solid results is what built the rating. DIRT Score 5.0 from 83 reviews on Finds.

“Extremely overpriced plumbing service. This was not an emergency or after hours call. After calling around afterward, I found several local plumbers who quoted less than half the price for the same job. On top of that, they also tried to recommend additional work that did not seem necessary. The repair itself was simple and completed quickly. I strongly recommend getting multiple estimates before agreeing to any work with this company. I used this company frequently for a couple of years for my rentals and they always seemed fairly priced, but this year their rates have increased drastically compared to other plumbers in the area.”

“Barrerra Plumbing as been a life saver for my 84 year old mother. She has been using Barrera Plumbing for years now. They offer quick service, great prices and have great customer service. Our most recent experience was truly life saving. My mom's house is old, built in the 50's. We have not used gas as our heating for a long time. However the pipes and equipment was still in our home. These pipes were coroding and gas was slowly leaking. They came quickly and fixed all of the pin holes in the pipes. My mother was very grateful. This work was done right after a huge storm in the Austin Area and mom also had trees that were down. The workers began cutting the large branches. We are so appreciative for all the work they have done for us.”

“We needed to move some roof vents associated with our gas appliances to clean up the front roof line. Victor was super responsive, even though we live close to Lockhart. We had so much confidence in him after talking through the roof vents, that we also asked him to replace our ancient water heater. The work was done very quickly, professionally and at reasonable rates. Who knew I'd be excited about relocated roof vents and a new water heater? I would strongly recommend Barrera Plumbing!”

“Westley and his helper did an outstanding job on removing and replacing my water heater. they are polite and very understanding when I ask questions about the project, they are honest, professional and upfront with pricing. When the job was completed, they took the time to explain all the warranty. All debris was removed, and the area was left nice and clean. I will definitely use Barrera Plumbing services again”

“I shared the best experience with Samson and Stephen today on an urgent water heater request. They were very detailed, instructional, knowledgeable, experienced and most of all professional throughout the task they conquered to get the job done. Merry Christmas to you and your company for sending me the BEST! I could not have asked for anything else BETTER! Throughout their process of getting their project accomplished. I was able to observe communication, teamwork, kindness and professionalism amongst themselves and reprocity. Thank you so much and keep up the good work!”
