Best Circuit Breaker Repair in Seattle WA

We, erm, accidentally drilled into a water pipe :-(
Contacted After Hours Services, got a text message back quickly. Set up a time for the next day (the water was turned off, so it was annoying but not an emergency).
Will came out. Found the problem. Patched the leak, by splicing in a piece of copper pipe. Good work; fair price; nice guy!

This has been the best experience with an electrical company that we've ever had. From the first call to the office, to the bid and to the finish everything went smoothly and as planned. Matt came out and gave us the bid, there was no high pressure sales and he gave us options. He said, we want to be your electricians for life. Not just come out and take your money and never be seen again. The bid came in right around what we expected it to. We planned the work a few weeks out and Blake and Steve did an awesome job on the work! All the areas they worked in were cleaned up and everything went as planned. I can't say how happy we are with the entire experience and the work. SeaTown will definitely be our electricians from now on. Thanks!

I called Dean because my outdoor lighting had gone out.  Before coming onsite, Dean walked me through how to troubleshoot the problem. I was able to fix it myself.  The first electrician I called was going to charge me $249 to even diagnose the problem. I was impressed by his ethics and I will go out of my way to recommend Dean to anyone who needs an electrician.  Thank you Dean!

Beware!  Upsellers at a minimum; scam-artists at worst!  

We had a sewage back-up at one of our rental properties and contacted South West Plumbing for a fix.  They said they could have a plumber out that afternoon and clear the clog for approximately $650.00.  Shortly after the plumber arrived, he began telling the tenant that he couldn't get through the clog which he said was made up of facial wipes, q-tips, and dental floss, and they'd need to cut the patio and dig down to replace the pipe, but they could start that evening, once they got the OK from us. (Alarm bells!)

 My wife was handling this, and she was justifiably upset.  The plumber then brought in an Excavation Manager to scope the line.  This person arrived, scoped the line, and told my wife over the phone that we had a collapsed sewer line and that they'd need to, again, cut a hole in the patio, dig down, and replace the line.  He reported the clog was roots and toilet tissue. (change of story - Alarm bells)

This was news to me, as we had the sewer line scoped when we bought the house 13 months prior and got no report of root growth in the line - rather they said it was clear, and all joints looked either good or ok.  At that point, I arrived at the home and looked at the scope myself.  When I got there, the story changed again.  It was no longer a collapsed line; now it was just a stubborn clog that could only be cleared by - guess what - cutting the patio, digging down to the line, installing a coupler, and jetting the line (apparently they could not do this from the existing clean-out in the basement) - all of which would have a cost of $4,700.(4-ALARM FIRE ALARM BELLS!)

At this point, considering the shifting story, I was convinced I was being scammed for massive and unnecessary repairs.  I told them to pack their stuff and I was getting a second opinion, and if the second plumber concurred with their assement, I'd be happy to take a bid from them for the work they were proposing.  The next day, the second plumber arrived, used the existing clean-out to jet the clog, and had it cleared at a cost of approximately $775.

South West Plumbing is definitely NOT the one to call.

EDITED TO ADD - I'm going to STRONGLY recommend people take a look at the Not Currently Recommended reviews on this business.  There are over 200 of them, and I believe over 200 are 1-STAR!  I don't know how this many reviews are Not Currently Recommended, but if they were accounted for, this business would be solidly 1-STAR OVERALL...

EDITED TO UPDATE - Not Currently Recommended reviews are now up to 247 - vs 66 (!!!) being used to calculate their rating...  The first 16 full pages of not currently recommended reviews are 1-star.  You don't even hit a 2-star review until page 17.

EDITED TO UPDATE - Not Currently Recommended reviews are now over 300, with 91 (!!!) used to calculate rating...  READ THESE REVIEWS BEFORE YOU USE THIS COMPANY!

Cancelled scheduled visit.
Way too costly -- ? took advantage of elderly customer by charging way too much.

I'd only use them in an emergency.

Pros: Was able to make a same day appointment - something nearly impossible in Seattle. The guys who showed up were polite and did a good job.

Cons: WAY overpriced. $120 for a GFCI outlet that runs about $20 at Home Depot and $400 for 15 minutes labor. Needed it done right away but hard to not feel taken advantage of.

This review was for recent electrical repair. Had a similar experience with a plumbing emergency in the past - they were the only company immediately available but the cost was unreasonably high.

I'm a new homeowner and needed help with a leaking sink and septic system pumping. Gato and Esther came out the next day and were incredibly helpful! They gave me septic system 101 and taught me how to take care of it. It was a pleasure having them out to the house- they were very professional and really patient with answering all of my new to homeownership questions!

They charged $400 for a new furnace thermostat. That is an outrages price, especially since I found the same thermostat after they installed it for $125 installed $200 with warranty elsewhere. The only reason they provided for such a ridiculous price for the thermostat was it under warrant for 5 years and they installed it. I will never use this company I feel they charges are extremely high and poor quality work. Still don't have a working furnace, something new is wrong, need a different tech for new problem.
