Best Drain Installation in San Jose CA

Fuse is a great operation! The booking was easy and efficient.  The repair man was quick and thorough.  Shortly after his first visit, I received an online quote for the repair (which you could confirm online as well).  The parts were ordered and the repair was scheduled for about a week later.  The repair man showed up on time and replaced the parts with no issues.  Love these guys!

Reasonably priced, pleasant, polite. Andrew called ahead as promised, arrive on time and was through in evaluating and resolving our plumbing problem.

I hired Pacific Coast Home Services (via Angi) to remove three non-functioning wall heaters and then patch the drywall. Communication was excellent - I received text message updates and reminders. It was also helpful to receive pictures of the technicians before they arrived. I was able to schedule the work to be completed in a week (review and estimate one day, returned the next week to complete the work). The technicians arrived on time, were ready to work and worked fast! They were careful with my home and put down plastic to cover my floors. They showed me what they did, gave me instructions for when it would OK to paint. Really happy with my experience with Pacific Coast Home Services! Happy to recommend. :)

We had a new AC system installed in June last year. For some reason, it was interrupting our furnace system and shutting down the power. After several visits over six months, Jeff was finally able to fix it. Turns out, our furnace filter was restricting air flow and causing the problem.  We really appreciate the time and effort it took to diagnose and remedy the problem. Thank you everyone who helped, from the lovely people in dispatch being patient with me and the team that came to help us out! We highly recommend Bellows for any and all of your projects! Wonderful people to work with!

We had a bathroom remodel that our contractors were not able to complete correctly.  Door and door frame were not completed, the electrical was a mess and they had sealed up the walls before completing the electrical.  

We found Norm on Yelp as San Mateo Handyman.  He came over and walked us through what we would need to get done.  We hired a licensed electrician who completed and fixed our electrical issue.  

Once that was complete, Norm came back and finished all the wall patching, texturing, installing our door frame, and paint.

The work turned out great, and my wife and I are relieved to finally have our home put back together.

He also cleaned everything up as if he was never there.

Thanks Norm for the great advice and work!

A tech came by on the same day to fix my heater. He was courteous and efficiently did the job quickly.

Nick repaired the front door and fire door going from the kitchen to the garage in my mom's house.  I submitted a quote request on Yelp to 4-5 handymen, and Nick was the first to respond.  Both doors in my mom's house are quite old and did not close properly.  Nick did an amazing job and gave me options we could take along the way.  When he was done, both doors were completely fixed to my satisfaction.  

Additionally, I asked him for guidance on maintaining the doors and he provided some great tips for me while he was doing the work.  Nick is very friendly and personable as well.  Nick obviously has a broad set of skills and I would highly recommend him for handyman work.  In fact, before he left, I booked time for him to do some work on my house in Pacifica pertaining to evaluation of mold in a wall in one of my bathrooms.    Thanks Nick!

Chris helped me out today with an electrical issue that caused my dishwasher to go out. He solved the problem very quickly and pointed out a GFCI outlet hidden in my cabinet that I didn't even know I had. He was also careful not to switch off any areas of the house that needed power. Very friendly and informative, would definitely recommend working with him.

We hired Ryan to fix our French door. He was quick to respond to our call and came the same day. His quote was very reasonable and his work ethic is very professional. The job took a little longer than Ryan expected, but he did not complain and was very patient and diagnosed the problem and fixed it. Overall, we are very pleased with Ryan's work and would recommend him to anyone looking for a good and dependable handyman.

Eric and Jose are in the customer service business . We needed to wire up a new air compressor in our shop. Called them on Thursday they found the parts and came out on Friday. We reviewed the job and they installed everything just the way we needed. They were very professional wearing their masks at all time.
Prices were fair and the installation looks great. We will for sure use the again. Thank you Eric and Jose, good job!

Yevgeny completed several electrical projects on our 100+ yr old home.  He is very conscientious, efficient, fair and did a great job.  He went with me to Lowe's to select the right kind of exterior light as the one I bought would not have worked properly.  He did not charge for the time to go to Lowe's, though I would have been willing to pay.  He is very meticulous and also tries to avoid unnecessary work and expense to his customers.  He is really concerned about doing a great job and ensuring his customers are satisfied with his work.  I highly recommend General SF and will look no further for an electrician.  He also does plumbing and is a general contractor, so he can see the big picture for more complex jobs and can address several kinds of problems at once.

Needed a refrigerant recharge - they told me on the phone that the $89 diagnostic fee will be applied against the repair.

Appointment set up was easy, but once the tech Adrian arrived everything started going south quickly..

I told him I need a recharge, but he wanted to check, so he cut insulation on one of the pipes about 4 long(never seen this before!!!??)...few mins later went on to state what I already told him - that I need a recharge.

Instead of promptly quoting me, he went on to give me a sales pitch about how techs should get paid more etc..there are not too many good techs in the area, other companies techs are not trained/re-trained enough...I already started sensing that he was setting me up for a high quote..

Then he hit me with the numbers $735 for 6-8lbs of 410a refrigerant..that works out to $92-$122/lb of 410a!!!! I decisively asked him to wrap up, since I knew it should cost no more than $20-$30/lb..he started to get very defensive and arguing with me about prices..like Im lucky to be getting these prices, everybody charges these prices etc etc.. at some point he even said, do u think I should be paid like somebody flipping burgers - at that point I told him there was no point in continuing the conversation and have the office invoice me for the $89...he insisted he do the billing, I really wasn't even comfortable handing him my credit card after the way the conversation was going - but I let him charge it anyway...$89 for 15-20mins of work..or non-work in this case, not bad - and I don't think anyone made that much flipping burgers! So not sure how he drew that comparison.

Overall - a very negative experience, the outrageous pricing was part of it, but the defensiveness of the tech was another part of it as well - he told me several times that he is constantly retraining, well some retraining on customer interfacing is definitely in order!

If the customer doesn't like your pricing, either offer better/reasonable pricing or just let them do their own thing!

Also checked my surveillance tapes to review what he was doing and noticed that he kept leaning with his body weight on one of the pipes to get up...Im just hoping he didn't damage that pipe and cause a leak that didn't exist in the first place..

Btw if you Google R410a, you'll see several buying options at ~$100 for 25lbs!!!! So $4/lb, - their cost is probably even lower buying in bulk.

So, all you yelpers who just need an AC recharge, call several companies, ask them BEFORE they send out their tech what they charge per lb of refrigerant..and save yourself some time, money and a headache!!

Wow! So happy with the work we had done. Mike was our hero and he did a fantastic job putting up the drywall and getting it paint ready. We will definitely use HH again. They were very patient with us as our project kept getting delayed due to inspections. I appreciated how responsive they were over email. Do plan some wiggle room around arrival time. The project started 30ish minutes after the scheduled time. Everyone we interacted with was great!

Max came out on Labor Day and fix our issue.  Thanks for fixing our AC during this heat wave.  I recommend Max if you have an AC issue!!!

I too called Surf City plumbing and they referred me to Bellow's.  I called in the am and they had someone come out the same day.  Jon was on time, very personable & professional.  I felt comfortable having him here and he was very good with my dog (always a plus).  Of course with plumbing, one thing lead to another but when he finished on day 1, he made sure everything was in working order for us to use the kitchen until he returned for day 2.  Highly recommend, only gave 4 stars because I though the price wasn't the lowest but it was definitely worth it.  Will use Bellow's again in the future.
