Last year, I decided to purchase a Bonaire-Durango swamp cooler, and Nelson's installed it, running water lines and securing it in the window. This was a recommendation by Gene Nelson, and it cut my electricity bill by $200.00 over the summer months. It meant I could shut-down the AC unit, and run the swamp cooler during the 115 degree heat. I would, and do recommend them to friends.

My hot water heater burst and the shut-off valve was not working so I shut off the main line to the house and called up Action Services. No one picked up (4 times) so I left a voice mail. The call was not returned that day, so I called the next morning and talked to a receptionist about the problem. I explained to her that I wanted to use my pre-purchased deals to inspect the water heater to see if it was save-able and install a new shut-off valve. She said i would have to talk to a plumber about the specifics of the work but they don't service hot water heaters. (their info advertises that they do). And they won't honor the $ 29 service calls and told me to ask Angie?s List for a refund. (She did say they would honor the $35 deal, which could be purchased from Angie?s List). I asked if the $89 deal was sufficient to simply have a new shut-off valve installed. She said i would have to speak with a plumber for that. So I waited for their plumber to call to discuss the problem but no one called that day. So I called again the next morning (at 7:30am) and talked to another person (this time a plumber). I explained the problem to him and he said I needed to replace the hot water heater. I told him I don?t have the budget to replace it and it wasn?t necessary since it?s a secondary heater just for the washing machine. I just needed them to install a new shut-off valve so I could turn the water back on at the main line. He said I would have to go buy the parts before they would book an oppt. I said theres a B&B Hardware Store walking distance so i would do that immediately (as i was speaking to him) , and have the receptionist call me back asap to book the oppt because i had already gone three days without water and needed a plumber asap. He said he was not sure if they had time available for that day, but definitely the next day. He said the receptionist would call me back "within 3 minutes." to book an oppt time. He also took my phone number to make sure he had my correct info. No one ever called me back so I made other arrangements and have called Angie's List for a refund on all three plumbing deals for Action Services."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ca/long-beach/action-services-inc-reviews-6194473.htm"},"position":6},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"JOE GIACOMO CONTRACTING","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"CA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Sidney S."},"reviewBody":"THE COMPANY DID A GREAT JOB & THEY EVEN REPAIRED SOME OF OUR SIDING.

It went well and quick. There was some minor damage and they documented and repaired that damage the following week. They even removed the old roof unit and hired a sub to patch the roof.

"I’m reluctantly writing this review. Joe and his team installed a fence on our residential property not quite four years ago at a cost of $30,000.00. I was initially disappointed with the planning and execution of the fence. The staggering of the panels on the property grade was erratic and haphazard. The height of the fence along the grade varies significantly from panel to panel. Over time, parts of the fence have come loose and have fallen off. The fence currently leans and panels are skewed. One portion of the fence, about four panels, was so significantly compromised I asked Joe to look into repairing it, he responded that repair would cost $2,000.00. I declined having him do the repair. Joe is a nice guy and responsive. And as I mentioned, I reluctantly write this, but I do want to warn any future customers of Joe that you may not be pleased with the work."

FAQs for sewer line repair projects in Bodfish, CA
The average cost to snake your main sewer line is around $250 for a simple snake. Most sewer line specialists charge between $45 and $200 per hour for main sewer line snaking, so the time involved plays a major role. The price you’ll pay will depend on the severity of the clog, the item causing the backup, how long it takes to remove the item, and more. A more severe issue that requires unclogging a main sewer line will cost $3,100 on average.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.
The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
