Best Businesses in California

Sohail Hossini and his partner knocked out a kitchen demo in a day and a half.  He moved the gas connector for my new stove coming in.  He'll be back in two weeks to do the tiling of the backsplash.  This is a no nonsense contractor who gives you a quote in writing, comes on time, does the work quickly, and we couldn't be more pleased.  Thank you

Rafael did a great job on my outdoor shower plumbing job. He was on time and checked the work when it was completed to make sure it was up to scratch and came over same day when I called about a few other issues

Found Dr. Rooter (aka Jerry) on Yelp. He has many 5-start reviews and it's easy to see why.

I needed to replace my kitchen faucet, but the shutoff valve was stuck and so was the faucet nut.  Jerry and Johnny made quick work of that business. They were professional, courteous, clean and quick. He also noticed my aged garbage disposal had been leaking. He said he could do it and quoted a good price. Jerry went out and got a new disposal while Johnny finished up the faucet. Installed very fast and no leaks to be seen.

While he was here I brought up a couple of other things I've been meaning to get done and he was happy to take a look at them. He even called over one of his friends, Ariel, to consult on one aspect.

Definitely satisfied with the work and will not hesitate to call again. I recommend you give him a try as well!

FOR WORK DONE 11/25/15:
Owen Plumbing saved me from having to take freezing cold showers over the long Thanksgiving weekend!  My hot water heater went out the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and I was having a heck of a time finding someone, anyone, who would come out that day.  I had heard about Owen Plumbing through a Facebook group I am a part of and they were the ONLY ones who even considered coming out that day.  They weren't sure on the timing, but they would keep me informed.  They were able to come out (earlier than they had estimated) and replaced the water heater with no problem.  The technicians were very clean, polite and respectful.  I have nothing but good things to say about Owen Plumbing!

UPDATE as of 4/15/16:
When I needed additional plumbing work (replacing the washing machine shut off valves), I first foolishly called a different company who gave me a ridiculous estimate.  I then called Owen Plumbing who gave me a more reasonable estimate.  They came within the window of time they gave me and completed the job quickly.  My technician, David even helped me replace a water filter that was a two-person job (I live alone).  The final cost was actually below the estimate they gave me over the phone!  I could not be happier with Owen Plumbing!

Called at 2pm on a Saturday, they were at my house by 4pm (as they said they would be).  Their guy was friendly.  He thoroughly explained what needed to be done and what the problem was.  He even knocked a few bucks off their quote since the job wasn't too difficult.
I would use them again.

Marshall installed a new garbage disposal for me and let me know that I didn't need to buy a 1hp unit  (went for 3/4 hp instead).   He diagnosed the problem gave me a few hours to buy a new unit, then returned to install it.  He also stopped back by afterwards and showed me how to drain out my dishwasher so that I could be sure that the next load would work fine.   Nice guy, and efficient.

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.

The day we discovered that the A/C lin within our condo walls and ceiling had an un-repairable leak was not a good day.  Replacing the line appeared to be and in fact turned out to be a major effort. My wife checked on line and found Sherlock Heating and Air Conditioning had strong recommendations from previous customers so we arranged a meeting for a bid.

Jeff was our contact.  His background as a project manager with Sherlock proved to be benefit in analyzing how the repair would be handled.  We received a bid we felt was reasonable for the work and actually had the work done 3 days ahead of schedule because of an opening in their schedule.  

Our work team of Scott and Reuben  arrived and immediately got to work.  Replacing the line actually took two days of difficult and challenging work on their part.  The work area was properly covered in plastic to protect our condo from a good deal of dust and debris and the clean up and dry wall repair was excellent.

We can recommend Sherlock's work very highly. The effort required to run the line within the walls and ceiling of our condo was far more intense than we even imagined, and they tackled the job with a can-do attitude. Thumbs up for the team at Sherlock Heating and Air Conditioning!

Fast, honest, and proffesional service!
Very happy and satisfied with this company. They were able to give me same day sevice and arrived right when they said they would. They identified the cause of the problem I was having quickly, and had it fixed in a jiffy!
Would deffinatly recommend them and use them again.

Exodus did a great job installing a diverter and replacing my shower faucet when it was leaking

Niall & Pete worked on installing recessed lighting in our living and family room. Punctual, polite and professional; whose workmanship was high quality and thorough. Very pleased with their work, definitely recommend them!!

I don't write many recommendations on yelp, but volunteered to take the initiative for Devren at Electric Lee.  If you are reading this review, I strongly encourage you to stop searching and give him a call.  Devren was professional, honest, transparent, knowledgable, patient, and hard working.  He expertly installed a 220 wire for a new spa as well as completed several interior lighting upgrades.  His pricing felt fair and we very much appreciated his attention to detail including the patch work, painting, clean-up, etc.  Beyond his work ethic, Devren is an all around good guy.  He was a pleasure to be around and we were very comfortable leaving him alone in our home.  Could not have asked for a better experience.

Last night I lost power to my kitchen and other areas of the house. This morning I called 3 electricians and Steven from SRP is the only one who answered.

I explained my problem and Steven went through several troubleshooting ideas over the phone. After those didn't work, Steven said he was booked but would get me in between 3-6 the same day.

At about 4:00 I received a call from Rudy who said he would be here between 4:30 and 5:00 PM, at 4:40 Rudy was at my door.

Rudy was very polite and courteous, after I showed him what was going on he got right to work playing detective and tracking down my problem.

After about 20 minutes Rudy had the problem figured out (the problem being a bad outlet behind my fridge, not the outlet I originally thought).

Rudy said the original outlet was fine and did not need to be changed although I would have been none the wiser if he did.

Rudy did not try to upsell or add in just to make a few extra bucks even though I did have him change the original outlet anyways.

I can not say enough about SRP, Steven, and Rudy. GREAT job guys, you are my go-to electricians from here on out.

If you are looking for an honest and quality electrician STOP your search, pick up the phone and call Steven, you won't be disappointed.  Plus they offer Military discounts, Thanks.

Needed an outdoor motion light installed.  Contacted this company and they were at my house in 2 hours!  Great customer service and I appreciate the same day service.  The cost to replace the light was very reasonable.  The light works great!  Thank you for taking on our small job.

Thanks Leo! Highly recommend to any friends and family. Professional, Friendly, Reliable, and Honest. Did an amazing job.

We had issue with our breaker box turns out it was fried. He was able to fix and replace our outdated box with a brand new one solar ready one.

Before and after pictures included.

Very friendly owner and took care of everything I needed. Price was incredibly reasonable as well. Have already recommended him to others and will use him for future work.

Very impressed! Mark is so easy to work with. I needed a few random jobs done around a new home, install a new outlet to support a microwave, replace weird track lighting with a ceiling fan, and replace fluorescent lighting with can lights in the kitchen. He came out the same day I called to give me an estimate. The price was fair, and once he started working, the projects gave him a little more trouble than expected, but he had great solutions for everything thing that came up. I would highly recommend him for any of your lighting and electrical needs, the guy does great work!

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 is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with. He provided competitive pricing and excellent service for variety of electrical jobs in our house, including rewiring a bathroom, LED lighting installation throughout and relocation of multiple switches with dimmer upgrades. He kept us updated through every step of the process and followed up to ensure we were happy with the service. We would highly recommend Frank for any electrical needs you may have.
