Description of Work: All went fine except the workers left quite a mess. They had to pull out some insulation to route the piping for the electrical and gas and left a mess of insulation on the floor -- and didn't get the insulation all put back right. Also, the painting of the outdoor gas pipe between the house and the generator wasn't done thoroughly, leaving unpainted, exposed area on the underside of the piping.

Description of Work: Installed a Generac home back up generator. The salesman was prompt & professional. A quote was provided on the day he visited my home. Once we made a decision to go with Barros things moved along quickly & professionally. Everyone we have spoken to has been helpful. The generator was delivered & installed in 2 days. The only waiting was on the City inspectors to approve the work performed. The electrician & plumber were prompt & friendly, which I find an important part of doing business in my home. I would definitely recommend Barros.

Between the sales staff, unit installation, the natural gas pipefitting, the electrical installation and the craftsmanship employed in installing my 14kw unit, I am EXTREMELY pleased and satisfied with Barros Company! They are top of the line in this business as far as I am concerned. The technicians were SMART, PROFESSIONAL, and they all had a good sense of humor when dealing with them. And guess what - EVERY EMPLOYEE on the job spoke extremely well of the ownership (of Barros company) - and that was the sign I needed that this was a top notch group. They could not have been nicer and could not have done a better job at getting this job done well. I have been referring Barros left and right to everyone I know! You are crazy if you do not get one of these units installed by them. The unit is a life saver - AND - the company is HIGH CLASS. Hats off to Barros Company!

THE BARROS COMPANIES IS A ONE STOP OPERATION WHEN IT COMES TO INSTALLING A NATURAL GAS GENERATOR. THEY HAVE THEIR OWN ELECTRICIANS AND PLUMBERS TO INSURE THE JOB IS DONE CORRECT!! SINCE THE INITIAL INSTALLATION THEY SERVICE THE GENERATOR TWICE A YEAR UNDER A NOMINAL SERVICE CONTRACT. WHEN YOU LOSE POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER; YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THE GENERATOR WILL KICK ON AND RUN FOREVER IF NECESSARY AND OURS HAS RUN FOR FOUR DAYS WHEN WE HAVE LOST POWER. WELL WORTH THE INVESTMENT... YOU COULD NOT ASK FOR A MORE RELIABLE COMPANY TO DEAL WITH!!

Barros did on-site warranty service on a Generac generator. A part needed to be ordered and replaced. The tech made a temporary repair, which worked fine, and returned a few days later and replaced that part. This work was done on time in a very professional manner.

Great service and work performed on time as promised
Description of Work: We called for an estimate for a generator to be installed and connected to our natural gas system. We lost power 3 times in 2 years and the last time was we returned from a vacation to fine that our power had been out for 3 days and stayed out for 3 more days. Generator was ordered and took a while as there was a lot of generator orders after super storm Sandy. When generator arrived it was installed and the electrical panel modified. Plumber came a week later when we were able to be at home and installed the gas lines inside and outside to the generator. The entire process was handled expertly and professionally. After a final visit to explain how the system worked and a test run through, we are all set. We will probably never loose power again but if we do we will not have to worry about dumping the refrigerator or worry about pipes freezing with no heat. Barrows employees did a great job and we are totally satisfied..

This is a great company. I met with the owner to review the services and the product. He was informative and knowledgable. It was great to deal with the actual owner of the company rather than a switchboard sales person. He gave me an initial quote that he adjusted when I showed him comparison quotes from other companies. He didn't change his price but added free preventive maintenance. That indicated to me that his original price was a real quote and not a high starting price. They installed the generator on the day they said they would come and sent a crew of qualified electricians and plumbers. They were polite and professional and they took great care to keep things in the house clean. There was a minor problem because they installed the generator in the rain. To alleviate any of my concerns, Mr. Barros included an extended 5 year warranty. It was a complete pleasure doing business with this company. The generator clicks on every Wednesday at 3 pm for its weekly check. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company if you need a generator for your house.

The owner, John, met me personally to give the estimate. After that, there were 4 separate groups that handled prep/delivery, natural gas hookup, electrical, and final walk-through/startup. They were all professional and prompt, and it was a very well-run operation. Barros also handled the town permitting and dig-safe call. A couple notes… they were flooded with calls right after Irene. I didn’t get a call-back for 1 month, and when I finally decided to put the down-payment for the generator, it was about a 3 month wait. I believe these delays were acceptable considering the unusually high demand they had during this time. They also required a 50% down payment, which is more than I usually like to pay prior to starting a job. Now that it’s all done, I’m very happy I went with a natural gas generator from Barros and I would recommend them to others.

The Generator took quite awhile to arrive (3 months) but that was a supply and demand issue, not the fault of Barros. Barros was very upfront about setting proper expectations. Barros took care of nearly every detail including applying for the proper permits with my town. All I needed to do was make arrangements for a Propane Fuel Supply fuel the generator. Every individual I worked with from Barros was courteous and very professional. I would recommend them without hesitation.
Description of Work: Barros sold and installed a turn-key Generac Home Generator Solution at my main residence. This is not a cheap investment and Barros seemed to be in line with other contractors. The owner John visited my residence a month or so after "Irene" and we started the process of sizing and ordering the Generac Generator.

Beware!...great first impression based upon the owner John Barros's visit to do the estimate, John was expensive but my pool contractor recommended him highly. The first stage of the 4 stage project went well and then it went all downhill. Multiple phone calls to schedule further work on project went unresponded to, appointments were broken with little or no notice, and the work was never completed. After several voice messages and emails to John Barros, over several months, we finally received a letter saying they'd be unable to finish the contracted work. End of story. A VERY unprofessional and frustrating company to deal with. Mr. Barros has a few other "specialty" companies which you might be wary of, given their common owner. However, Mr. Barros does make an EXCELLENT first impression!

They were the electrician contracted by a home improvement store in Bellingham. They canceled the 1st appointment the morning of the install. Left a voice mail which I did not get until noon. When I called them back, they said he was too busy to come out later that day. OK. So we rescheduled for the following Wednesday between 9:00 and 11:00 am. At 11:30 am I called to see if they were coming. He said they were too busy and would not be able to come until 1:00 pm. They weren't even professional enough to call to give me notice. Meanwhile, I wasted 2 days waiting for a estimate and install. The home improvement store wasn't much help either in resolving this issue.
