Best Outlet Repair in Chula Vista CA

Gerardo did an awesome job at my rental property.   My tenants left it in poor condition with a large hole in the wall, blown socket, broken bathroom faucet and a towel bar ripped down.  He answered my quote request immediately, was able to start first thing the next morning and was finished by that afternoon.  I really appreciated the quality of work, punctuality and professionalism.  I will definitely be using his services again for any future projects/repairs.

We're so thankful to have found Kelley!
We had 6 random jobs around our home that we had been putting off for weeks... Okay, months...Okay, years. Kelley was professional, punctual, efficient, and reasonably priced. She was able to repair a couple doors, hang a mirror, install a curtain rod, do some caulking and repair a ceiling fan light in about 2 hours. What a relief to have those tasks done and know that Kelley is a phone call away! Highly recommend.

Our kitchen faucet broke on a Friday night and we need this fixed quickly. I put out a request for a plumber and Farhad replied immediately. We ordered a new faucet and it arrived on Sunday morning and Farhad was very accommodating and came by to install on Sun afternoon.  He provided an great initial quote and upon arriving informed us of other updates that we needed. We were happy to pay him for these additional services because we wanted the job done right. He was very professional and kept his mask on for COVID the entire time. Everything was installed perfectly and he walked us through all of the new features. He was very clean and completed the job in a timely fashion. I would highly recommend his services and we will definitely use him again for any additional handyman needs.

Two and a half years ago a plumber from Ideal unnecessarily replaced the 70-year old facet handles in my shower.  I thought it was broken because I couldn't get the shower to work, only the bathtub fill.  The house had been rented and I'd forgotten how it worked, thinking the middle handle closed the drain.  Stupid, I know.  Anyway, I contacted Ideal and one of their plumbers came around.  I explained the problem whereupon the plumber said I needed a new valve.  The plumber started work by busting open the wall and destroying the tiles around the faucet handles.  After he had destroyed the tile and busted a large hole in the wall I noticed him switching the water from the shower to the bathtub fill.  I realized immediately that nothing had been wrong and he had destroyed my bathroom wall for no reason.  I was furious.  I called Ideal and Don, the owner, came over.  He apologized and offered that there was nothing he could do now, but said he wouldn't charge me for busting up my bathroom wall or installing a modern replacement set of faucet handles.  

Fast forward two and a half years I'm already having corrosion problems with the modern replacement handles.  The original handles lasted 70 years and would have lasted a lot longer had the plumber not destroyed them.  I'll be lucky if the new ones last 5 years.  This is obviously going to be an ongoing problem.  After seeing my complaint here, Don contacted me again and came back to my house with Erin, another plumber.  They agreed that the faucet handles were corroding already and were jury-rigged when they were installed earlier.  This time they said they did a better fix, but confirmed that corrosion would be an ongoing problem.  My only real recourse, according to Don Teemsma, the owner, is to install a new set of valves and taps at some point in the future, but this would be a major job, entailing opening up the wall.

Just as a good auto mechanic would verify the customer's complaint before tearing into a car engine I think the original plumber should have verified my complaint about the faucets and could then have quickly pointed out that I was mistaken.  This would have saved everyone a whole lot of grief.

Update 11/19/2018
Cold water began leaking from the handle of the cold tap when I turned the hot tap on.  A guy at Lowes directed me to Valley Industrial Specialties.  They carried replacement valves, including the diverter valve and seats, for the 70-year old Briggs valves.  I replaced all this hardware myself, confirming that Don Teemsma and Ideal Plumbing are a bunch of thieving liars.  Even if the diverter valve had been bad, which it wasn't, there was absolutely no need to replace the entire set up.  Ideal's goal is to do the most work, and charge you the most, that they can get away with.

I called over the past weekend when I had an issue with some lights no working after it rained.  The owner of the company took my call and was very nice.  She said that she would try to get someone out there on Saturday but if not, they would call me first ting on Monday to confirm what time they will be there.  It is Tuesday and I never heard from them.  I got tired of waiting and called some one this morning who was very responsive and flexible enough to get out with in a couple of hours.  

If you decide to go with this company, you will have to follow up to make sure they actually do what they promise.  That does not work for me and I will not be using this company again.
