We have used Adam Gould to handle a variety of electrical needs for our three houses and a handful…read moreof outdoor electrical issues. He always does a first-rate job and is very efficient and professional. A couple of our projects were emergencies that required immediate attention and he moved a couple jobs around to accommodate our needs. What we especially like about Adam is that he always offers suggestions and options for handing our projects. Totally trustworthy.

I found Gould Electric on Yelp and thought, "Great, a local electrician."…read more I called Gould Electric to repair the wiring and dimmer on a chandelier that had fallen off its hook; the wire was ripped and the dimmer shorted. Adam, the son, fixed the wiring and installed a dimmer in about 10 minutes. The problem was he did not finish the job: he did not straighten out the chain and wire, and he installed a dimmer different from what I expected. On top of that he marked up his cost by 100% over retail, failed to give me an itemized invoice, and inserted "miscellaneous" as a charge. (When I asked him later what "miscellaneous" referred to, he couldn't tell me.) When I asked him to change out the dimmer to the style I originally had, he stated the local Ace Hardware did not carry the same dimmer. Then, he said he would charge for another service call and for another dimmer. When I asked him to take back the one he installed, he told me he couldn't because it was already faulty: he said it was overloaded and could not be returned. Why did he install it in the first place if it would be overloaded and dangerous?! This is his job, his integrity. I called him for his supposed expertise. He said I was "nitpicking" when I told him he did a poor job and left wires hanging. He's just a novice, and he obviously doesn't know how to, or care, to provide meaningful customer service. I called Bob, Adam's father, and complained; and he said he would make things right. "It's a family business after all: two generations!" He did nothing. Their family business claim means nothing at all. I talked to a neighbor afterwards who knows Bob Gould personally, and he told me, "They're nice people, but I would never trust them as electricians." Now, I have to fix what I paid Adam Gould to do. Hopefully, you'll avoid my mistake of calling Gould Electric. My neighbor suggested two other electricians in the area who are far superior. I wish I had asked him first. The one thing positive is, I can say that Gould was quick to do a shoddy job. I called at 930am and Adam Gould got the job done shoddily by 130pm. Now, I have to undo what he did.

Nathan Stone and Stone Concepts turned our unusable backyard into a place that we can now call…read morehome. We now have a beautifully multi-color stamped concrete patio with full drainage. Water used to be an issue for us because one side of our house was next to a hill. With the new patio and excellently placed drainage; not to mention having all my downspouts tied into the system; water is no longer an issue. They also installed a beautiful (and strong) 3 foot retaining wall all along the side where the hill was. And with the beautiful Santa Barbara White Stucco coating, it looks very finished. I am not the easiest person to work for, due to working in the project management field; yet Nathan and JC and the rest of the crew were nothing but professional and helpful. I would recommend Stone Concepts for any job, large or small. They are just a bunch of great people!

The people that this company has hired are complete and absolute jerks. They have made this deck…read morerenovation completely miserable. As this project is at the center of the 60 unit complex, the noise from the project, as expected, is pretty awful. The problem is, the workers have also decided to entertain themselves with music. As I work from home, this extra noise is completely annoying on top of the tile saw etc. and the fact that where they are working is in a complete "noise vortex" and everything is amplified doesn't help. The boss was called by management (three times), and they were told to turn the music off. After they refused his direction, I unfortunately have had several more interactions including an argument from them about how they should be able to have it on because they are working. Well, so am I. I have now lost my patience. They are paid to do a job by all the people who own, live and rent in this complex. Since it is we who are ultimately paying the bill, I would expect cooperation about how to get the project done while keeping everyone semi-happy. I understand that there is a lack of workers these days and things are difficult, but human kindness and cooperation should be expected from all who are working in shared space. And all work and work environments are important. Including mine. I hope this company can work this out, as I think they do a pretty good job - but their reputation is being sullied by workers acting like jerks.

We hired Just-in-Time to lay concrete in our entire (small) back yard. Justin (the owner) came out…read moreand measured and discussed some different ideas. Within a couple of days he had our estimate to us. Once we had our HOA approval (thank you, Justin, for taking the time to call them and go over exactly how he would be doing the yard, drainage, etc) Justin and his project manager came to the house and they both went over everything that would be done. We got a start date scheduled and they were here bright and early on a Monday morning. They got the yard leveled, forms set & rebar installed. On Wednesday morning the concrete truck was here and the guys busted their backsides and got everything just right. On Friday the project manager and one of his guys put the stain on the border and the following week, after everything was dry, they sealed it. Concrete isn't cheap, and with Just-in-Time, you definitely get what you pay for!! They did a fantastic job and I am so happy with their work!

He took the time to explain what he found and provided, what he considered, the best path forward. His approach was honest and straightforward, and wanted to be sure all of our questions were answered and that we clearly understood every aspect of the process. His quote was very fair.

Terry immediately met with us in person, understood our frustration & developed a plan for our backyard that was within our budget. He included a gorgeous waterfall & pond that will be home to a few goldfish. Also an elevated flagstone patio with a firepit that gives us a gorgeous view we didn't have previously & more. Every step of the way Terry communicated with us what the team planned to accomplish that day. They all worked long hours, efficiently and always cleaned at the end of the day. Did it take a while? Yes it did but that's not unusual for large, custom projects. Terry was also extremely kind and flexible when we made changes along the way. Carlynn was a great help choosing plants, very knowledgeable & she also put together a plan for our front yard. She's very bright & capable & we liked her suggestions. We absolutely love our yard & look forward to seeing the plants fully grown. Now that the work is over, we miss seeing all of them!!
