We keep our team busy. Our phones ring with more calls than we can handle, so your schedule stays full and you’re not sitting at the shop waiting for work.
We have a team that cares. We take pride in our work, and we support each other.
Phil grew up in the Bay Area, went to Dublin High, and started Barnett in 2005 as a one-man crew. Twenty years later we still run the company the same way: fixed-rate pricing, 3-hour arrival windows, and treating every home like our own.
