A friend recommended NW Gas Lines who installed her fireplace set (purchased through NW Natural). Rod, the technician was able to fix the problem and restart the fireplace--saving us the cost of a new set of logs ($2,500).

We paid him $500.00 for the job. That day he did finish the initial cleaning the barbecue but it did not worked properly again until we hired another company to replace parts and complete the job. Derrick told us on his initial visit that some of the parts were worn out and gave us a quote for new parts. We agreed to purchase the parts and have Derrick install the new parts as the barbecue was 5 + years old and was an expensive built in model. We waited about a month for Derrick to deliver and install the the new parts. In the meantime, Derrick had to come back twice to adjust the barbecue because it was not lighting or working properly. After one such adjustment, my husband attempted to use the barbecue but flames came out through the knob and burned his hand. Derrick said the burners needed to reinserted in the gas valve and he would fix the problem. While our barbecue had initially needed cleaning, it had been working before Derrick's cleaning and we had never had any safety issues with it. On May 19th Derrick came back and installed some of the parts but said the burners he ordered were the wrong size. He asked for payment in full, including $300.00 for the two new burners and $250.00 for new briquette trays. We paid him an additional $750.00 on the 19th. Derrick said he would be back the next day with the proper size burners. He never showed up the next day nor did he call to let us know he would not be there. On May 22nd, Derrick again promised to return but, once again, did not show up. We had planned on using the barbecue for dinner guests and told him that when he promised he would indeed come. He did not show up and, when pressed, Derrick then told us that the burners he was supposed to pick up were accidentally sold but we could use the barbecue as it worked "fine". This was the time that flames came through the knobs and burned my husband when he tried to use the barbecue. On May 27th, we were still waiting to get the burners and for Derrick to fix the barbecue. He finally showed up on May 29th after several requests by us. On May 29th, my husband told Derrick we were not comfortable using the barbecue until the new burners were installed and, after the burned hand incident, everything was completed and checked out. Derrick reiterated that the barbecue was safe to use. It was, in fact, not safe. On June 8th, we again asked Derrick when he would install the burners we had paid for on May 19th and he said he would be there at an unspecified time that day. He again never showed up and later said he was "slammed" and would be there June 9th in the AM. We once again arranged to have someone wait for him. He never showed up that morning. He texted us later that day and said he was in the hospital with a finger injury but his associate would deliver the parts to us in the morning on June 10th. Again, no one showed up or called. We expressed our sympathy about his injury but told Derrick we were, by this time, completely fed up with the un-kept commitments and no shows, We asked him for a date he would DEFINITELY be able to deliver the parts or give us a refund of our money. On June 15th, we still had not heard from Derrick. On Wednesday, June 17th, Derrick told me he would be at our home before Saturday the 20th to deliver the parts. He did not show up on Thursday June 18th but on Friday June 19th said he would be at our house by 3 PM the next day, Saturday, June 20. For the last time, we arranged to have someone wait for him and, once again, no one showed up on Saturday. When he originally told us he would be there Saturday June 20th he added that, if he was not, we would have a refund of the money by Monday June 21 or, at the latest,Tuesday June 22. To date,we have not received a refund and we had another company come to inspect our barbecue and install the new burners. It has now been two and a half months of broken commitments, excuses, missed appointments and general frustration with derrick and BBQ RENU. We are now preparing a small claims action to recover our $550.00 and cover any work that needs to be redone by the new company as we do not trust anything Derrick has said or done. On his initial visit, Derrick tried to sell his services to have our patio furniture redone, our patio tiles refinished and our cars detailed. The only bright spot in this experience that our contact with Derrick was limited to our barbecue! Today is June 30. We still have not received payment and have had an established and reliable BBQ contractor come and inspect our BBQ. Our BBQ parts have been replaced and installed by a new, established and reputable company. This was done within three days of their initial visit. When the new company inspected the work Derrick had done, it was discovered that Derrick had plugged holes in our old burners with aluminum foil and that was how he determined that the burners would "work just fine" until he delivered new ones. The new contractor told us the burner was indeed a safety hazard and a liability for anyone to suggest we use it that way as Derrick did. We also discovered that Derrick had not replaced the two briquette trays which he had charged us $250.00 for. We now had a new charge for the parts Derrick charged us $550.00 for. The parts were replaced and installed for $150.00 less than what Derrick charged us for 5 1/2 weeks ago and never delivered. Since this all began, I have looked up Derrick's "License" that he represented on this site as TL12467017 and that he was licensed as a Handyman.The State of California does not issue Handyman's Licenses. There is, in addition, no record that we could find of a valid Contractor's License with the State License Board. The State also requires all licensed contractors to display their license number on all advertising. The Angie's List ad did not have a valid California Contractor's License in it. A Trade License is not the same as a State Contractor License. In addition, the State Board website states that it is a crime to contract for home improvement services (for which built in BBQ repair qualifies - I checked) for more than $500.00 without a valid State Contractor's License. Derrick charged us $505.00 for his first service and $750.00 for his second service including $550.00 for parts never delivered. Both amounts are in violation of State law for operators without a valid Contractor's License.The penalty for doing so is a monetary fine and or 6 months in jail. The State site said it is currently very active in cracking down on offenders. We intend to pursue a complaint with the State in addition to our small claims action. As my husband and I are also over 65 years of age, we intend to report BBQ RENU to the State Consumer Affairs Board as "Elder Abuse" statutes also apply for payments made and merchandise and services not supplied to consumers over 65 years of age. On Friday, June 26, Derrick said he was putting a refund check to us in the mail. When it did not arrive on Monday, June 29, we asked Derrick if it had indeed been mailed. He stated that it had not been mailed on Friday but had been mailed on Saturday, June 27. As the check had not arrived on Tuesday, June 30, we again questioned Derrick and he first said he had mailed it from Los Angeles but, when pressed if he had really mailed the check, Derrick said he would deliver the check at an unspecified time to our home on Wednesday, July 1. We declined his offer of an unspecified time (we had been "burned" by him too many times by his unspecified appointments ) and offered to meet him and pick up a check. We received no answer to this demand and have notified Derrick that we would be filing all relevant civil, criminal and Elder Abuse claims if our money was not refunded by July 1. This series of events has been most distasteful and has left us with doubts about using any service not personally recommended by a trusted source.

"We originally wanted to wait until our spa was fully finished to leave a review, but we just had to rave about Gabe and his team. They have been SO easy to work with—and when you’re opening a second spa location in San Diego, easy is everything. Gabe moved fast (he’ll be done by Monday—EEK!), and for business owners, time is money, so having a contractor who’s in and out efficiently is HUGE. During the project, he discovered some mold in the building. Not only did he notify the property owners immediately, but he also took care of the remediation, followed all proper protocols, and handled it all on his own. We’re forever grateful for how quickly and professionally he resolved it. Honestly, our favorite thing about working with Gabe is how he consistently goes above and beyond—especially in ways we didn’t expect, which meant a lot to us as two female business owners. We never once felt taken advantage of, which sadly can be a rare experience in this industry. To give you an idea of how fast he worked: our space includes five treatment rooms, two storage rooms, a kitchen, an office, and a lobby. He redesigned and completed the whole buildout in just over a month. He’s also a great communicator—sending us frequent updates, photos, and videos of the progress, which gave us so much peace of mind since we couldn’t always be on-site. His pricing is incredibly fair and, in our opinion, makes him unmatched in this industry. His work is impeccable, and it doesn’t break the bank. We truly could not recommend Gabe and his team more!"

"Thank you to Julio Valle from John Padilla Plumbing, Inc. After I had a lukewarm shower, I called Padilla Plumbing based on their 5 star reviews on various platforms. They had an opening the next afternoon. The gentleman on the phone gave me an estimate for replacing the water heater if that was necessary & told me their service charge would go toward any repair that they did for me. The next day, a gentleman called to say the plumber was running late & would miss the time window. What would I like to do? I opted to have the plumber come the same day if he could do it in the daylight. Julio arrived about 20 minutes later! Yay!! Julio was very professional & courteous. He tested the in-house faucets (upstairs & down) for water temperature. Then we went down to the water heater in the garage. He adjusted the temp on one of the heating elements as it was much lower than the other one. Again, he tested water temps upstairs & the water was already warmer!! This seems to be a well-run, responsive plumbing company that I will call again when needed. Highly recommend."
