Best Drain Cleaning in Los Angeles CA
Tomas did an excellent job fixing a water damaged wall and installing a new sink and toilet. He works hard and takes his time to do the job right. Will definitely use him again in the future.

Nazaret was AWESOME!! Professional, friendly and honest. I'm very pleased with how quickly he responded and how easily he fixed our issue with the water recirculator. Top notch service provider who is worthy of all 5 stars!

It's good to have someone like Danny who lives in the same city who is trustworthy, efficient, and works fast. He enjoys working on projects and takes pride of what he does, his honest and pleasant personality made me feel safe to have him working in the house even for long hours.

Teo fixed drywall, installed a light fixture, reconnected our washer and dryer, and replaced a bathroom sink faucet set. Excellent work.

Per my landlord's policy, I had to hire a licensed, bonded contractor to install an AC unit in my apartment window. A very simple task that does not traditionally require any professional help and shouldn't be time consuming or difficult for a mere mortal who can follow simple instructions, let alone a pro. Anyhow, since I like living in my apartment I complied.
After calling around Craigslist (...I know) I received a couple of decent quotes from a few companies ($150-$300) but then I called Rich of R&K Tradesmen. I described the job to him and he had big manly questions for me, things like: Can you pick up the unit all by yourself? and was in awe when I said that yes, I, a silly woman, was able to lift a unit weighing no more than 40 pounds. He then quoted me $400 for the job. I couldn't help but actually laugh - that is exorbitant, especially since I already knew his competitors' rates, and the AC unit only cost $250 to begin with! Rich then attempted to educate me, saying that he has a contractor's license and not just a driver's license (implying that I'm too dumb to know the difference) and that I'm probably being lied to by all of these other companies. I explained to him how simple it is to check a company's credentials using the Department of Consumer Affairs Contractors website and that I had checked his and every other company I was considering. It wasn't a heated conversation but his condescending tone didn't leave me feeling like a valued potential customer.
My boyfriend was also calling potential companies and he also called Rich. He described the same job and - believe it or not - was quoted only $200! (That's right. A $200 price difference for the exact same thing! Sketchy, no?!) As my boyfriend didn't know the interaction I had just had with Rich, he asked him to send company documents to our landlord for approval. He was one of two companies we had approved by management.
When my boyfriend and I connected the dots of our discussions, he recounted for me how Rich had also given him an attitude the whole time (I think his description was two-bit craigslist huckster?). Needless to say, we hired the other approved company to install our unit. (For $150, I might add)
Yesterday we received a rather hilarious voicemail from Rich threatening legal action for using his documents to hire another contractor. We have no idea where he got this idea, except that we didn't hire him, so perhaps he thinks that we must be using his documents to commit fraud?! Crazy.
Based on the other one-star review from Everywhere E, this guy appears to be very lawsuit-happy.
I didn't have Rich do any work, but if his contracting skills are anything like his interpersonal skills, I'd advise you to find someone else. AVOID!!

This is for the service call out of the Mission Viejo Area. I realize this is a big company and some people may have a good experienced based on the location and employees. But watch your money people. GET A SECOND OPINION!
I had a terrible experience! My husband called this place via google search. We had an emergency because our outlet was smoking.
Two men showed up and within 5 minutes said we needed a new panel and circuit breakers and rewire....$4000. So we asked them if they could just cap off the outlet so it was unusable for now because we did not have $4000 to spend (plus we wanted a second opinion). They said they could not cut off the outlet and anyway it would not fix the problem.
Our discussion turned into a heated one because it seemed as though they did not want to leave without us paying that $4000. One of the men even threatened us by saying If I don't fix this today, your outlet may catch on fire while you are sleeping..... um, we will take our chances!
Needless to say we got a second opinion and ended up paying $145 to fix our outlet and infact did not need a new panel. We saved our $4000 from these con-artists.
