Best Electric Furnace Installation in San Diego CA
We're in the final phase of a major master bathroom and bedroom remodel with Ideal, and we couldn't be happier. We've been working with Ideal for years -- they've handled all of our plumbing, HVAC, and electrical needs ever since we moved into this house in 2003. So when it became time for this major job, Ideal was our first call.
We had a significant root intrusion in the sewer line beneath the slab in our master bathroom. After a lengthy consultation, and frankly our hesitancy (this was going to cost a lot), we took the plunge.
Joe Clark was our contact person and remodel manager. Since we would be jackhammering the concrete slab and replacing a section of sewer line, it would be a perfect time to get the full-size shower we always wanted. Joe gave us an estimate, and a time frame. We signed the contract.
Once work began it all went really, really smoothly. Ideal proved to be an excellent partner in this process, for three key reasons:
1. Excellent workmanship. Aaron and Justin came in and with the help of a series of assistants tore into the place and had it demoed in a day. Then the floor got chopped and dug up, and the old sewer lines removed. Soon new sewer lines were laid, the trenches filled in, and the concrete slab poured. At every step of the way, from demo, to framing, to drywall, to fixture installations, to two new window installations, to finishing paint, Aaron and Justin were stellar. Truly great guys. Friendly, extremely skilled, and great communication.
2. Excellent communication. You always hear horror stories about contractors -- that they talk a good game on the front end (when they're selling you on the job), but then they vanish for days or weeks at a time leaving you hanging. That NEVER happened on this job. Joe's estimate of eight weeks was EXACTLY right, to the day, despite the occasional challenge getting this or that from the supplier. Aaron and Justin showed up every day at the same time, and if they were going to be late I'd get a call from Ricky at Ideal letting me know why they would be late, and when they would arrive. Every day when they left they'd say goodbye and let me know the day's progress, and what was happening next. My time was COMPLETELY respected and, frankly, I didn't see that coming. They went above and beyond.
3. Excellent planning and coordination. Joe Clark did a fantastic job. Our first impression of Joe was surprising. He's not the sort of guy you normally meet in the construction and remodel industry. He never tries to sell you anything, or glad-hand you into doing something you don't want to do. He listens to all of your wild and crazy ideas, sorts through them, and turns them into possibilities. Then he humbly offers a set of options and alternatives. He just quietly gets things done without a lot of fanfare or noise. And his team (Aaron and Justin and others) respect him -- they all genuinely seem to get along and work extremely well together. Their calm excellence was a constant sort of comfort for Lori and I during this remodel process, a process that is unavoidably disruptive by its very nature.
The bottom line, we couldn't be happier. As I write this, the glass guys are here installing our new shower door and three mirror panels on Lori's sliding closet doors. All that's left is a few closet door handles on order, and for us to move back in. I can't wait to try out our new shower later today!
This was a major job, with a price tag to match. But the price was completely fair and within industry standards. And considering the across-the-board excellence of Joe, Aaron, Justin, Ricky, and Juan the electrician (and a number of other Ideal employees), it was absolutely money well spent.
If you're considering a major bathroom or kitchen remodel, or just need a leaky faucet fixed, make Ideal your first call. They will absolutely take care of you.
