Looking for plumber with experience repairing Barber Wilson / Barwil faucets.

I have a Barber Wilson Two Hole Deck Mounted Faucet in an apartment I am renting out and it’s leaking. I am out of town for the next few months and the tenants have had a plumber in to take a look who says it’s likely that the inner workings will need to be replaced. This is an expensive faucet and I’m hoping to find a plumber who will service Park Slope with experience repairing Barber Wilson faucets. Anyone have any recs? Thanks in advance.

I did email and they did give me some recommended plumbers. I feel like I need someone with deck mounted/Barwil faucet experience to fix it – worried someone not familiar is just going to cost me more in the end. Thanks for your reply.

If you call Barber-Wilson for a recommendation, they tell you to call John Cataneo at Gateway Plumbing and Heating. That said, those faucets are a pain in the hiney and fixing them is always an absurdly expensive thing to have to do. It never goes any other way.
