722 I needed a new kitchen faucet Install. Matt's call was quick and honest. Another wanted to come and inspect the project and charge for that before giving me an estimate. I had my entire house repipped and all fixtures were up to date, Therefore i didn't think an inspection was needed....
Pennington Plumbing LLCThe service was quick and efficient. The installers were knowledgeable and proficient. I was pleased with the quality of work.
STARBOY PLUMBING INCJorge was excellent! He explained every process and why. The installation was better than what was there. I would definitely hire these guys again.
Fast Water Heater CompanyGreat - the installer, Loni, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He arrived with everything he needed and was fast, thorough and did a very neat job.
Water Heaters Only, IncThe installer did a great job. This is the second time we have used them. I highly recommend their services. Quality does cost money, if you want the lowest bid they are not for you. But if you want quality work go with them.
Bay Area Climate Control, LLCI had read all the bad reviews before hiring Closet World, but I had such a good experience with Trey, the designer, who was punctual, gave me good advice, and was not pushy, that I gave them the benefit of the doubt. The booking and payment was easy, but once they got my money, it all...
Very well. Installers did a quick, neat, professional job. The company was very busy and it took several weeks for them to be able to come out, but they were in regular contact updating me with scheduling (Our job was not an emergency so the wait was not a problem). Professional and pleasant.
Nick the installer had the right amount of knowledge, expertise, cheerfulness and thoroughness. Arrived a little before appointed time and worked steadily with just one break for lunch.

The average cost of a home security system is about $700, ranging from $280 to $1,150. Costs to consider include equipment, surveillance fees, and other additional features. Cost factors that determine your system’s price include the type of security system, materials, labor, activation fees, monthly fees, and permits. Additional features and upgrades may include:
Video surveillance monitoring: $40–$65 per month
Smart home locks: $150
Smart home lighting: $15–$90
Smart smoke, fire, and carbon monoxide alarms: $35–$100
Smart thermostat: $130–$500
It’s important to ask an electrician a few questions before you commit to hiring them so you can make an informed decision as a consumer. If you’re getting estimates or considering hiring an electrician, ask them these questions:
Are you a full-time electrician?
Are you bonded, licensed, and insured?
What level of experience do you have as an electrician?
Can you please share three references?
Do you do residential or commercial electrical work?
What kinds of electrical work are you most familiar with?
Will any subcontractors be performing the work?
Are permits and inspections required?
Who is responsible for obtaining permits and inspections?
What is your schedule?
Do you offer a guarantee or warranty on your work?
Will you sign a do-not-exceed clause to keep the job within the budget?
Yes, you should get a quote or an estimate from an electrician. Most electricians offer free estimates or quotes. When getting quotes, do your research and verify each electrician’s license. Get quotes from three different electricians to compare. If the prices or items listed appear different on the quotes, ask the electrician to clarify. Learning as much as you can about the electrical work you want done will help you get the most accurate estimate.
Yes, a home security system can be worth it for your peace of mind alone, but it can also save you up to 20% on your home insurance. The insurance savings will help defray the initial setup costs and subscription costs over time. Locations with higher crime rates also make home security systems a valuable investment, but it ultimately depends on your personal preferences and asset values.
Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.
