Best Air Duct Repair in San Diego CA

We're in the final phase of a major master bathroom and bedroom remodel with Ideal, and we couldn't be happier. We've been working with Ideal for years -- they've handled all of our plumbing, HVAC, and electrical needs ever since we moved into this house in 2003. So when it became time for this major job, Ideal was our first call.

We had a significant root intrusion in the sewer line beneath the slab in our master bathroom. After a lengthy consultation, and frankly our hesitancy (this was going to cost a lot), we took the plunge.

Joe Clark was our contact person and remodel manager. Since we would be jackhammering the concrete slab and replacing a section of sewer line, it would be a perfect time to get the full-size shower we always wanted. Joe gave us an estimate, and a time frame. We signed the contract.

Once work began it all went really, really smoothly. Ideal proved to be an excellent partner in this process, for three key reasons:

1. Excellent workmanship. Aaron and Justin came in and with the help of a series of assistants tore into the place and had it demoed in a day. Then the floor got chopped and dug up, and the old sewer lines removed. Soon new sewer lines were laid, the trenches filled in, and the concrete slab poured. At every step of the way, from demo, to framing, to drywall, to fixture installations, to two new window installations, to finishing paint, Aaron and Justin were stellar. Truly great guys. Friendly, extremely skilled, and great communication.

2. Excellent communication. You always hear horror stories about contractors -- that they talk a good game on the front end (when they're selling you on the job), but then they vanish for days or weeks at a time leaving you hanging. That NEVER happened on this job. Joe's estimate of eight weeks was EXACTLY right, to the day, despite the occasional challenge getting this or that from the supplier. Aaron and Justin showed up every day at the same time, and if they were going to be late I'd get a call from Ricky at Ideal letting me know why they would be late, and when they would arrive. Every day when they left they'd say goodbye and let me know the day's progress, and what was happening next. My time was COMPLETELY respected and, frankly, I didn't see that coming. They went above and beyond.

3. Excellent planning and coordination. Joe Clark did a fantastic job. Our first impression of Joe was surprising. He's not the sort of guy you normally meet in the construction and remodel industry. He never tries to sell you anything, or glad-hand you into doing something you don't want to do. He listens to all of your wild and crazy ideas, sorts through them, and turns them into possibilities. Then he humbly offers a set of options and alternatives. He just quietly gets things done without a lot of fanfare or noise. And his team (Aaron and Justin and others) respect him -- they all genuinely seem to get along and work extremely well together. Their calm excellence was a constant sort of comfort for Lori and I during this remodel process, a process that is unavoidably disruptive by its very nature.

The bottom line, we couldn't be happier. As I write this, the glass guys are here installing our new shower door and three mirror panels on Lori's sliding closet doors. All that's left is a few closet door handles on order, and for us to move back in. I can't wait to try out our new shower later today!

This was a major job, with a price tag to match. But the price was completely fair and within industry standards. And considering the across-the-board excellence of Joe, Aaron, Justin, Ricky, and Juan the electrician (and a number of other Ideal employees), it was absolutely money well spent.

If you're considering a major bathroom or kitchen remodel, or just need a leaky faucet fixed, make Ideal your first call. They will absolutely take care of you.

My girlfriend had a crisis and a pipe was severely leaking at a spa that she manages...after several other reputable companies couldn't do the job, I called bill Howe. They were there within 30 mins of the call. Michael   H. Was our plumber. He came in knowing exactly what to do and he fixed the pipe within minutes.... his work was very impressive and I would definitely refer him to anyone who has plumbing issues. He knows what he's doing, he is professional and won't waste labor time... he got the job done so fast we completely regret not calling them sooner... but now that we know, we won't be using any other plumbing company.

Very satisfied with service.  Jeff responded promptly and was able to schedule someone to come to my house within few days.  Joe came out and was on time (with mask on), personable, minimized damage while troubleshooting and communicated well.  Price was also very reasonable.  Would hire this company again.  Thanks!

Let me tell you about this dude Scott.

Scott. Is. Amazing.

On Sunday, I noticed my bathroom sinks backing up with water and I already knew what it was: a clogged condensation line in my AC. While I had experienced it before, I had never mastered the art of PREVENTING it. I called Tarpy and got an appointment scheduled for a few days later. Their communication was awesome: sending out appointment reminders the day before and letting you know when the technician is on his way on the day of.

I feel like the issue was pretty straightforward and just about any technician could have resolved it. What made me come here and leave a review on Yelp is how awesome Scott was with my pets. I have 6 dogs, all rescued, and all a little weird given their various past lives and traumas. Whenever a stranger enters my home, there is always a lot of barking to start and it eventually (mostly) dies off and then everyone is quiet. I always make sure to put the dogs away when someone is here working in the house, but Scott ended up needing to go into the room that the dogs were in.

He handled them all like an absolute rockstar, knowing how to greet them (holding out the back of his hand for them to sniff) and was SO patient and nice to them as they helped him (I think in their minds they were) with his task. Even Prince, my super nervous Schnauzer warmed up to him after a few minutes and was so happy to have him here working on the AC.

Scott did talk me through how I can clean the line in the future so I can prevent it from getting stopped up again, which I so greatly appreciate. I don't know how long he has worked for Tarpy or how much you're paying him but give this guy a promotion because his customer service is stellar.

Signed up for a maintenance package with Tarpy and will be using them moving forward.

My husband saw the paint on the ceiling in our lower bathroom was bubbled, got home and I made a whole in the paint and the sheet rock was moist. Searched on yelp for about an hour and decided to give Castillo plumbing a try since they had great reviews. Called and was told to send a text with our info and then a tech would give me a call. It wasn't a emergency since there wasn't any water actually leaking through. Got a call about 15 minutes later set up a time on Saturday.
Alex came out and checked it out. He is honest, kind and knowledgeable. Had to cut a whole in our ceiling and told us all the options of what it could be. He figured out it was a gasket somewhere under the tub. Fixed it for a great price. We will definitely call Castillo again if we have any issues. Highly recommend! Thank you Alex for the help!

Rich and Esteban came in and identified the crack and told quoted me for a replacement.  They gave me two options.  One is guaranteed by their work, and the other would be a cheaper fix if I had to do it myself.  I appreciated their honesty with me, and would recommend them.  I would use them should another problem arose.

I have called out Pacific Drain and Plumbing several times and each time that have fixed the problem timely.
Brandon has been especially helpful in advising me and guiding me through the issues.  Thank you!

I had a problem with my air conditioner freezing over.  I read on-line that it could be due to a lack of coolant (go figure).  

Based on Yelp reviews, I called up Thompson Heating and AC and made an appointment.  Garrett showed up.  I explained the problem to him and he said he'd check it out rather than just proceeding on what I'd told him - this is a really good practice if you actually want to fix the problem.

Sure enough the pressure was low.  Before he charged it, he told me that it was an old system (25 years old) and may still have a leak, albeit a slow leak.  He laid out the options in simple language and the risks/costs associated with each option.  I chose to charge the system.

If there is a leak, they'll be at the top of the list for replacing the unit.  

Bottom line:  friendly, professional, and knowledgeable for a decent price.

Highly recommended.

Do not call this company!  They are extremely overpriced and promise to fix your air conditioner for a price they quote you over the phone and then tell you a completely different story before they even see it.  This is the second time I have  been duped by them.  They came out four months ago for a duct replacement and gave me a quote for $1800.00 when all the other estimates were in the $600.00- $800.00 range.  They also complained about my review and sent me a nasty text about this review.  Very unprofessional.

Have used Anderson Plumbing Heating & Air a couple times. 2/3 of the experiences were good. The techs were polite & efficient. The last experience was an A/C tech that came out. Right off the bat he had a bad attitude.  He was scoffing at anything we said. He ended up not even working on our unit, claiming he was too big to be working in such a small space. Ended up leaving. We ended up going with a different company,  had a tech come out who was BIGGER than the last tech, and actually said whoever said they weren't able to fit in the space should be fired. To me it just looked and sounded like Andersons tech just flat out didn't want to work. My husband and I understand not every employee can be a Rockstar, but they missed out on a couple grand that we ended up paying the other company to fix it, simply because their tech had a bad attitude. Just something to think about.

After months of having one over priced, scamming, unreliable plumbers, Jorge was able to easily fix what other plumber who disappeared wasn't able to! As a new resident of San Diego I really didn't know any good reliable plumbers and I thought we couldn't find one. Our hopes were down the drain lol I wish we could of called this company the first time so we didnt have to loose so much time and didn't have to pay so much!! I 100% recommend! They got here in within 1 hour of calling them, they had an Amazing price and they fixed so fast! Thank you I had lost my hope in humanity!

had a free estimate with mr. Jaime Garibay.  he was very honest with me in regard to vent work for a dryer vent which might be clogged. he told me this job can be done by a handy man. you can be assured all my future plumbing work will be done by THA
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MR  JAIME GARIBAY  FOR YOUR PLUMBING ESTIMATES

He was Very professional,competent, and knowledgeable.
I have been working with Sherlock for a few years during the major remodel of my home and they Have been very reliable throughout the process.
