I WAS IN SHOCK!!!
I had a relatively small electrical job requiring the installation of two new sconces and the replacement of two existing ones, replacing an existing wall dimmer and mounting a separate wireless dimmer on a wall. Using wiremold, the ENTIRE in-wall wiring would total about 12 and right above existing dimmer switch! My common sense estimate was that it would probably take two or three hours.
The good - Point Loma Electric was very responsive and the man who arrived to give me the estimate was professional. Because I didn't use them, I have no way of knowing the quality of their work.
The bad is inexcusable- I was then handed an estimate for the job of slightly over $2500! I questioned the technician about such an outrageous quote and he told me unexpected surprises could occur. I challenged him to come up with one even slightly reasonable example of that on my job. He could not. He also stated that they were not the cheapest in town. Quite the understatement!
I then proceeded to request estimates from other electricians. Each one ranged from about $500 to $700. I priced out all the parts on Amazon and purchased them all for slightly under $100. I then proceeded to hire an electrician. I supplied the parts and he quoted $500 for labor. In slightly less than three hours, the job was completed perfectly and professionally. To me, there is no ethical way to charge $2500 for a job that virtually all competitors quoted 80% less! Buyer beware and definitely shop around. I've attached the estimate to this review.

Ideal Plumbing is awesome! I had to have all my Hot and Cold water Pipes replaces due to a big leak under my slab. I got 4 different estimates and spoke with 5 different plumbers. There estimate was not only the best but it covered more things including all the pipes having insulation around them. Joe did the estimate and was wonderful. Albert was the one that did the work and he was professional, clean and kept everything clean each day when he left and just a really nice guy. I would totally recommend them. Also about a month later I had some electrical issues so I called them and they came out the same day and once again I would totally recommend them.

This was my second time hiring Darell and again he gets 5/5. This time, I had an outdoor water pipe (above ground) which had a pinhole leak due to rust at the connection site. I called Darell to ask if this was something he could repair and he said yes. He came a few hours later and even though it ended up being a bigger project, he stayed till the end and finished the work. I am super happy that he was my first call. Just like the last time, he was polite, professional, and knowledgeable.
