Best Businesses in California

Sohail and his team did an amazing job! He transformed our master bath and we could not be more happy. They were thorough, communicative and have set a very high bar. We can't wait for them to complete our second bathroom!

Rafael's guys took care of my clogged drain the day I called them. They entered my home with coverings for their boots and ready to work. Very professional, fast, and competitively priced. Thx!

We had a clogged tub that needed immediate attention. Every other plumber I contacted either didn't get back to me or weren't available for a week at least. Jerry came out the same day and after the repair was more involved than previously thought, came out the next day as well to take care of the issues which included replacing old cast iron pipes. I plan to contact Jerry with any future plumbing issues.

Owen Plumbing has been called out for my plumbing needs several times.  They were very curtious and fast to respond, very professional and their price is always very competitive in comparison to other plumbing companies where their guys are paid on commission based on what they can sell per call.  Owen Plumbing will repair and/or replace only when needed and you will feel like family!

On the plus side, replaced our backflow valve with a better brand.  On the minus, left us with an active leak!

I had these guys show up on time and partly fixed my blogged kitchen sink. The guy that came out was nice. When the issue reappeared within a month, I called to try and get them to come out and fix the problem again, potentially at a reduced rate, they stated that it would be a new job at a full price. I was disappointed with that lack of service and I choose to go somewhere else to fix the problem longterm.

I have our Tankless heater replaced. He was efficient and managed to get hot water throughout most of our house.  I was used to waiting 5-10 min in hopes of warm water and had to constantly worry about water going from hot to cold.  But after him replacing the unit, we have got water immediately everywhere, minus one shower.

Best company service ever.  No up selling, or other sales BS as with other companies.  If you're going to invest in the expense of installing a new HVAC system--shop around and you'll end up going with Sherlock.  Eddie the installation tech was very efficient and completely professional in ensuring that everything was working to standard.  Very happy.

Update---A year later and I'm still very happy I chose Sherlock. Today Jared is inspecting everything installed last year and ensuring its ready to go for the summer.  What does it cost?  NOTHING--FREE!   That's solid customer service.

Unfortunately my experience was bad! I had my bathroom redone and the contractor had Joshua do the plumbing. He arrived with his two guys and I asked him about a drain. No greeting or introduction 0 personality. He leaves and the two guys stay. I have a Kohler acrylic tub that specifically says it needs to be set in a bed of mud or no warranty. I ask his guys about it and they say they do that later. I ask them a question about installing the tub and they end up calling Joshua who tells them to pack up and leave. The tile contractor smooths thing over and they continue. I ask them again about setting the tub in a bed of mud. That's later. Next thing I know the tub is installed with no mud. Too late now so tile contractor and I decide we will remove drywall and put mud under tub later. The job is about finished and the tile contractor puts the trim on and tests the tub/shower valve. Surprise! The two boneheads put it in upside down and now the tile is installed.  Contractor calls Joshua. He is too busy to come over today or tomorrow. So two days later he shows up at my door about 5pm. All he says is, I'm here for the plumbing. Not so much as a sorry about the inconvenience. The guy should have been apologizing for delaying the completion of the project by two days. One of the worst contractor experiences I have ever had.

I called many plumbers on a Friday afternoon to clear a drain at a triplex.  The tenants were upset that the drains were plugged and that they may remained plugged for at least part of the weekend.  I have some plumbers that we have used, but they didn't want to come-out.
Mauricio said he would come out in the early evening.  He did and he did a great job!  He also did some camera analysis and explained that the cast iron drain line was shot.  I was interested in a more permanent solution and he explained the bursting process.
I thought that would be the best solution so we set up a meeting.  He came out and cameraed the lines and determined how best to do the job.  Because of some complexities in my system the came up with a solution to do part of it with bursting and part with lining.  
The job went very well and everything was clearly and respectfully communicated with me and the tenants.  The tenants were very happy with the whole crew and the process.
Everything went very well and the work was very professionally done even to the most minor details like the clean outs and the concrete repairs.
The tenants were very pleased with the workers and the work; that was also a huge benefit because if there was anything wrong, at all, the tenants would have made my life miserable.
I would highly recommend Exodus Plumbing for all of your plumbing needs.

Niall and Peter know what they are doing and get the work done. They were professional and efficient and provided helpful info along the way. From initial request, communication was fast and they were accommodating when my to do list kept growing. Highly recommend and would use them again.

MUST CALL for all electrical needs....I guarantee you will not regret it!  We feel extremely lucky to have found ElectricLee to do a new 200amp main panel upgrade and install a Tesla EV Wall connector.  I had the pleasure of communicating with Thorin throughout the project and he was very professional.  He handled the scheduling with SDGE to disconnect/reconnect power and also coordinated the city permit inspection as well.  

His crew (Zack, Gerry and Chase) went above and beyond the project scope to make sure the completed work is something they can be proud of.  They were always courteous and cleaned-up after all was done. I am happy to add another well deserved 5-stars review to show my support.  Thank you guys for doing a fantastic job!

Steven was great. He did some work for me adding a couple circuits and fixing issues left from previous DIY'ers. I had him back to do some more work to get ready for a kitchen island. He's very responsive and fair priced. I highly recommend Steven.

Michael was fantastic. Came on the dot of time, did a job of installing ceiling fans, way better than I could have expected. He is reasonably priced. And extremely nice to work with.

WOW! Best service that we've ever received by an electrician! I reached out to request a quote from multiple electricians and almost all were quick to send us a quote of over $1000, plus additional costs, for something that we might not have needed. Leo was the only one that asked for me to provide a few more details via text AND was able to quickly solve our immediate problem! Unlike most, he did not have a requirement to book a costly appointment to come out before trying to better understand our problem. We live in an older condo so we plan to use him for future electric services. I will recommend him to everyone!

Jesus at United Electric installed and wired up my back patio, and I couldn't be happier with the result! He helped explain everything he was doing to me to make sure I understood. Highly recommend!

Good communication, prompt service, and a job well done at reasonable prices. H&H installed 4 new cans, retrofitted 2 cans for LEDs, and resolved a shorting light fixture issue for us. Would use again for any future lighting or wiring needs!

Everyone Deserves a Reliable Electrician

Rory Higgins is that reliable electrician. If I could only hire veterans, then I would! I have the highest respect for the veterans. They are patriots, honest, disciplined & reliable. Rory learned everything he knows in the Air Force where he was working on sensitive projects. Rory has been my electrician for a long time. He has had his business for 4 decades. He knows what the hell he is doing! He is not the type of contractor who puts Shiite on Shingles & does a Tijuana Style of patch job! He is detail oriented, trouble shooter & reasonable in cost.

This time around, I needed him to replace a sensor motion detector outdoor double light in the driveway, install a new double floodlight in the patio, create a new outdoor metal pipeline covered line to the floodlight, create a GFCI outdoor outlet & line to the BBQ island & outdoor refrigerator, create a separate outdoor GFCI outlet, switch & line to the outdoor lights in the patio (separate the lines to distribute the weight), uninstall an old rusted hanging outdoor light in the patio & cap, cup & cover the wires, also replace a couple of old outlets in my office. So, I waited for all of these electrical jobs to pileup & then I called him to schedule me.

Rory is a decent, softspoken good man. Right away he scheduled me as soon as he could which was pretty fast. He showed up in the morning & tackled all of these tasks, one by one until afternoon when he was done.

In the 90 Degree heat, I sat outside & watched him work for hours when I could easily go inside & allow him to be alone. He was already heat exhausted from his past 2 jobs in prior days. It was so hot that he used 2 fans to not overheat!

I observe my contractors for a few reasons:

I. To make sure they do not screw up my house.

II. To learn something from them.

III. To evaluate their work, so I can write accurate, informative reviews.

I hire a lot of contractors & I try to do my research, background check, BBB, licensing, consumer report & read reviews before hiring them, so primarily I do not end up with a lemon or worse, a contractor from hell! In addition, I do my contractor investigations, so you don't have to do it; therefore, when you read my reviews, you can hire the reliable contractors with a peace of mind.

What I notice about Rory is that:

A) He uses top notch material
He uses proper metal pipeline for outdoor & even indoor (read my last review when he done my garage), metal casing & reliable parts.

B) Right away he trouble-shoots the problem
Due to experience, he precisely or approximately pinpoints the problem right away. There was a short in my patio. Sometimes when it rained, the lights & the refrigerator in the island popped out & I had to reset the GFCI outlet in the kitchen where they were connected to, so they would pop back in & work after the rain. Rory took care of that issue by separating the lights & island lines & getting both of them off of the kitchen GFCI; however, as soon as he looked at the situation, he made a logical guess that the old rusted hanging outdoor light is more likely the root cause of the problem, so I told him to eliminate it. He took it off, trashed it & capped the wires & close cupped it.

C) He is detail oriented
Rory works fast but he takes his time to do a thorough job. Every single task which he does is done right. For instance, the way that he bends the pipe covers, connects the joints, silicones the connections, & comes up with ideas to secure the circuits.

D) He is honest
Rory always states that he does the job right, the first time, so he can go home with a clear conscience. He doesn't cut corners, makes sure the job is done right the first time & he primarily gives you an approximate estimate of the cost.

Rory done the job right, done it fast & gave me a special discount.

I usually come up with the best contractors in each field. I know Rory very well. He does super work with ethics & reasonable prices. He is a knowledgeable electrician with work ethics. He surely passed my perfectionist taste & test, many times over. Hiring him will not be regretful. Rory Higgins knows his job well.

Frank diagnosed the electrical problems in our 1927 (partially remodeled) Kensington house quickly and accurately. He followed up on our phone calls and texts in a timely manner and charged a reasonable price.
