Best Lighting Repair in San Diego CA

Dec25: Edited to reply to Comment: My apologies on inaccurate statement about the tip. I was wrong. After the comment, I did find my invoice and found that I misread the invoice and for 20 days since having the service done, I have thought that 20% written was for tip. I was wrong. Had I checked the math, I would have figured this out that day. I was not aware there was a 20% markup on materials, so that did not register that 20% was on materials only and not for service. Rush glance on Dec 5, it looked like materials was $18 and since 20% tip was around $50+ on $270... i guesstimated that's what the other prices on the page were. My mistake and invoice is now included to show how I was simply wrong. Turns out I didn't tip at all. I honestly thought it was already included in the $315.16. So sorry, Kelley!

I do want to add in regards to the comment about the hourly rates... that though rates are posted elsewhere (on her website and Facebook) finding her here on yelp, I was not aware of rates of her site as that is not on her Yelp profile nor mentioned in any of our private messages. I found out about the hourly rate just an hour or so before receiving invoice. Still, I am happy with service and I recommend her great work.

Dec 24 original review: She did a great job.. before and after pics posted. I had a slow leak that went in for about a week and was not aware of. I let it dry out for a few weeks but finally needed to get it fixed as the wood was warped and didn't want it to get even more disgusting. I got a quote from her $135 for labor and travel and materials she said would be around $20). Her quote was lower than all the others' quotes. I also mentioned potential faucet install and she said they can be tricky so it's $70-120. With her quote and great reviews, I said yes let's do it.

While she was here, we found that the old faucet that caused the leaks was not fixable. She had to go to Home Depot to get materials for under the sink anyway and so I decided to get the faucet installed too. She offered to
pick one out but I went out to fetch a new faucet I know I would love (went to Costco and Home Depot and bought 1 from each store).

We both met up at home again, she proceeded on work underneath and installed the faucet. Everything looked great. She cleaned up after herself well and went to write up an invoice.

Got the invoice bill and it said $60/hr + materials + travel time 20% tip. Total $315 and some coins.
It was sticker shock but when I analyzed it, it lines up with her quote, when i broke it down.

$135 + materials + travel for Undersink
$70-$120 faucet installed

She's an awesome person, she did a great job. I knew it would cost more because I added the faucet installation.

I did not know before hand and learned upon invoice was that travel was $15 and 20% tip is added to to make the grand total that I was asked to pay.

I paid it. I have had services done before. I do tip 20% but seeing it on invoice and part of grand total was a first.

I love my sink and glad all is well now.

I hired Darrell to install aluminum cable railing for my San Diego home and he was all you could ask for: prompt, polite and professional. He provided a quote that was totally fair (not the cheaper and not the most expensive).  He showed up the night before to verify the location, the supplies and to confirm that's he'd be there the next day.  He finished the job beautifully and with great care.  I highly recommend this professional!

I just want to praise Bill at the front desk for his great helpfulness.  I have lived in San Carlos for 28 years and have come into the Ideal showroom many times to buy a fixture or part.  Although I could have gone to the Home Depot, I knew that I would be sold the appropriate (and high-quality) part by Bill.  Along with the parts, he freely offers advice from his long experience as a plumber.  This is invaluable to me as one who does most of his own repairs for financial reasons.  Bill has always been honest, knowledgeable, friendly, patient and anxious to do right by me, qualities which are not common nowadays.  As one of the public faces for your business, he does great credit to your company.

You can stop your search now and hire Alejandro! Amazing communication, honest nice guy, very competitive price and got the job done quickly. Will definitely be calling him again for all my home repairs.

Way too expensive. Almost $300 to replace one GFI.
Then a $500 quote or something ridiculous to replace a garbage disposal.

The tech was nice, people on the phone were nice. But way too expensive.

The only reason i called them because mike slater talks about them on his show.

I will never use them or again or recommend them.

Farhad did an excellent work replacing my cabinet floor board underneath my kitchen sink due to a water damage. Very detail oriented. Will use him again for other projects.

Gunner is reasonable, responsive, and informative.  Super happy with my experience with him, and will ask for his help again soon!

Professional, kind, affordable, I'll hire them again for any future landscape project.
