Rigo did a great job with the 3 things I had done: replacing an electrical panel, replacing 2 light fixtures, and installing a smoke alarm. He was on time, knowledgable, and efficient. I don't think it is necessarily the cheapest option around but with something like this, quality and experience matters and they did a great job and handle permits and such. They did exactly what I asked them to do and were responsive over email and able to ask the exact questions they needed which made things seamless. This is not necessarily a bad thing but they could have probably done some kind of "walk through" around the place and found some additional work for me. Upselling is obviously not always a great practice but in my case, there were some things that I wish I had done and I think they could have suggested them and left it up to me to say yes/no to during the initial inspection. For example my kitchen could definitely use at least 1 additional outlet, I should have probably replaced a 3rd light, and so on. I do respect that they don't try to take you on a ride but since it is probably efficient to do things all at once, may have been helpful to discuss (this was also my bad for not noticing these things before). Rigo did a bunch of smaller things that made a big difference too like taking out the packaging for the lights and the old ones as well as the old electrical panel, clearly labeling all the switches very neatly which was not well done before, answering my questions and explaining things in a way that I (someone with little knowledge about most of this stuff) would understand.

Told us we wouldn't be charged for his time but we got a $400 bill for "diagnostics and troubleshooting." On top of this, communication was a mess. Manager called me at 6pm on a Friday and couldn't get two words together, not sure if he was high or just exhausted but it was a super unprofessional call and left me with more questions than answers. Finally got some clarity in an email, but jeez what a mess. Maybe their work quality is good, but I won't be sticking around to find out. I'll be working with someone who is more up front about their work, better at communicating, and doesn't charge so much.

He showed up exactly when he said he would and got the work done in exactly the amount of time he projected it would take. Even more importantly, the project passed inspection without any issues. I'd work with him again in a heartbeat and have recommend him to friends who are looking for a competent and honest electrician in the city.

For safety, I shut down power to that circuit and filed a service request direct on Electro-Integrity's website. The following day, they called to schedule an appointment, and fast forward 48 hours, the serviceman came out to resolve the problem quickly and in resounding fashion. No problem ever since.

We sent our kitchen assembly instructions ahead of time to make sure they were aware. My overall sense is that Carlos is fairly capable and experienced but either his team or him are not as careful as we had damages to our finished wood toe kicks and our lacquer cabinets looked like they had been dragged over nails as they were being assembled. I didn't appreciate that they made 0 mention of it at all and I had to point it out. As the homeowner, I essentially had to baby sit them for 5 days through the install since it felt like they were incapable / unwilling to read the kitchen cabinet installation instructions in detail and I caught several mistakes early on during the cabinet assembly that made me hesitant to leave it unattended. Carlos's attitude was particularly bad through the entire experience as well. Always made it seem like we were inconveniencing him or being too nit picky even if we caught some mistakes. At one point, he even threatened to quit after the assembly but before the installation simply because he had underestimated the complexity of the project. We did have a 1 day delay due to some plumbing / electrical issues but that's pretty typical as far as kitchen cabinet installations go AFAIK. In the end, they were able to get all the kitchen cabinets installed, albeit with a lot of effort from my end due to the more custom nature of the project. The price was affordable and the work was solid (minus the scratches) but for me the bad attitude wasn't worth it.

I write this recommendation for Anakco with gratefulness that I found such a superb home theatre professional when I needed that expertise most. Here's the story. My partner had chosen another vendor PRIOR to Anakco who botched our setup terribly. Not only was our 56 inch Plasma TV screen crooked, but the sound system didn't work, the wires weren't concealed, we had no way to connect the TV to our computers for downloads and picture viewing, etc. Everything was flat out wrong. Anakco came in, and in a short period of time, saw the difficulties, and corrected each one of them with confidence and efficiency. The sound was calibrated, the screen straightened, the speakers painted and placed more strategically so the benefits of our system could be truly experienced, the wire was now no longer an eyesore, (indeed, the whole system was simplified by using the video/DVD/receiver cart in a way that made additional speaker shelving unnecessary), and finally, Apple TV was added so that a whole new world of online HD video and photo work became accessible. Wow! In summary, Anacko delivered a reliable, good value solution with a staff that couldn't have been more responsive and caring. Thank you, Jason -- you simply put your heart and soul in this, and I'll never forget it. read more

Purchased a Kuna security light from Costco, and I did not want to hook it up myself after reading "if you don't have experience with installation with electrical...please get a professional" knowing myself I'd probably get electrocuted. LOL So I called up anakco and spoke to Jason. They do home entertainment install & security (etc.) so I figured it should be a breeze. I even lost the instructions but did he need them? Nope. He not only installed that but another camera we needed. It was fast and clean. Jason is very knowledgeable and is happy to share his knowledge. He's easy to talk to and doesn't just try to rush out after the job. I asked him about other things I needed done and he was happy to answer any questions. I will definitely be calling him to hook the tv/entertainment stuff that my current situation needs some help with! Thanks Anakco! read more

I found Anakco's listing on Craigslist and called Jason for wall mounting my new TV and also for moving existing TV to another room. This was the first time, I had called any handyman from Craigslist and found worth it. He was prompt with the timings, and was able to wall mount my new TV with ease and without compromising quality. There were some of technical difficulties initially but he was able to troubleshoot and get my Cable setup working successfully. I found him very friendly, sincere and reasonable with the pricing. He is also very knowledge in in his subject, so you can clarify a lot of your questions. I had recommended him to couple of my friends and they also had the same great experience.

Anakco Home Theater did a Direct TV install for me. Jason Alojado directed the project. He did a great job under adverse conditions. I needed a quick install for a fundraiser. Unfortunately, my need for a quick install was complicated by a week with severely bad weather. Jason and his crew actually went up on a roof in driving rain, at other times they waited out storms, but they did the job thoroughly, professionally, and in time for my event.
