Best Outlet Installation in Chula Vista CA

Jerry, his Dad, and Jesus are fantastic. All hard working, trustworthy, and very skilled. They're great painters, painted our whole house.  They can also handle pretty much anything else including carpentry, plumbing, and electrical. They have been doing work for my family for years. Highly recommended!

I had a couple of shelves that I needed to have installed. As a single woman with no experience putting anything on the walls other than pictures. Kelly was so professional, on time and the prices were in my budget. She was proficient and I am very satisfied with my shelves and will be using her in the future.

I'm only giving one start because Yelp won't let me give none!  This was an absolute disaster. We hired him for a simple job that should have taken less than an hour. We said IF he had time, he could also do another small job. He didn't finish the original job, left to go to the store to buy parts for the second job even though we had showed him the box of parts sitting right there that we had already purchased, then proceeded to do work on something else that we not only had NOT asked him to do, but had repeatedly told him to STOP doing!!
FIVE hours later we finally threw him out. He had made a mess of both rooms, cut baseboards in more places than we had asked for; leaving a gap along the wall that cannot be repaired (they no longer make those baseboards), left a goopy mess on the bathroom floors and walls by working on something we told him NOT to do, cleaned up his hands using our roll of toilet paper... I could go on.
I would NEVER EVER recommend hiring this man. Never!  The repairs from his mess will cost more than we were ever going to pay him and the jobs still need to be done. Some of this mess can't be fixed.
I am furious! I have contacted a lawyer.

I'm really torn.  I've had great experiences with Ideal in the past for plumbing and HVAC.  Really good service.  But, I had an electrical problem before Christmas, and I had a really bad experience, and the follow-up afterwards prompted me to write this.

I had to turn off my power, and when I turned everything back on, I didn't have power in my kitchen.  We called Ideal, and they said they couldn't get to us until after New Year's, unless we were willing to pay overtime wages.  The stove was out, so we didn't have a choice - I said yes.  Christmas dinner had to be cooked.  

The guy showed up on time, went through my breaker box, checked some things, and had us tear apart the kitchen, including moving the stove and fridge, which meant emptying everything into coolers, and removing the freezer door.  Not easy.  He was unable to find the problem, and left, saying the office would call the next day to schedule his return with a helper.  I wasn't thrilled, but I'm not an electrician - I relied on the professional I was paying. (I ended up having to hire someone to help me get the fridge back in place.)

So, the next day came, and no call from Ideal.  I decided to have a General Contractor with whom I've worked before come look at the problem, because I could not understand how this could not be some kind of simple thing that me, as an amateur, overlooked, and I hadn't even had a response from Ideal.  Three days later, still no call from Ideal, but my contractor showed up as promised.

My contractor arrived, and two minutes later, my problem was solved.  It was something simple.  Simple enough that I felt foolish for not figuring it out myself.  Simple enough that there is absolutely no reason a professional electrical service technician could not have had it figured out quickly.

10 days after my service visit, Ideal called us back, trying to schedule.  We expressed our displeasure with the service, and explained how we've always been very happy with them, and had recommended them to friends several times.  It is when speaking with a manager that I decided I had to write this review.  It turns out that the technician who came to our house was their LEAD GUY for electrical work.  My wife and I were incredulous.  Really?  This was your lead guy?  We were repeatedly told that yes, the guy who came out was the lead electrical guy.  Unbelievable.  Don't get me wrong, he was a nice guy.  Pleasant and respectful, and I think he felt badly about having us tear apart the kitchen and the fridge, but he was just not capable.  

There is no way possible that the man who was sent to my home was qualified to work on electrical systems.  This was a VERY simple thing, that should have been readily evident to a professional with even a minimum of experience.  I can't imagine what I would have ended up paying them at $204/hour (for one man), with two of them crawling under my house and through my attic, tying to hunt down a fault that didn't exist.  

I just can't, in good conscience, recommend this company, anymore, at least not for electrical work.  Frankly, the whole experience makes me question the integrity of the company as a whole.

An Absolute con man. He tried to swindle my mother out of almost $1000 dollars and threatned her with a lawsuit or lien against her house. Little did he know, she used to be a practicing litigator and man did he told whats up. None the less avoid this scam artist at all costs!
