Red flag
No callback after 2 days despite explicit promise: 'she would call me back. I still haven't been called back' — under 25 reviews makes this notable
“I called this company 2 days ago because my house drain has a blockage that needs to be addressed. The girl told me she didn't know if they could get there that day but "he" was in Florence. She got my name and number and told me she would call me back. I still haven't been called back.”
Callback failure: 1 of 5 reviews reports phone inquiry not returned after 2 days, costing Barwick's a $125+/hr job

The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Positive
“Excellent Service! I highly recommend anyone needing Barwick's Plumbing. CJ was sent to my home. He did a great job fixing the problems. In addition, he has remarkable interpersonal skills. Thanks Barwick's Plumbing.”
“Two young men arrived and went to work immediately. They soon had the leak fixed and even repaired a poorly installed air conditioning vent. They were kind enough to let us know we need to get the air conditioning company back for a proper repair. We have put Barwick on our list "first call" companies.”
