The cost was kept within our budget, and everything is itemized so we are well informed. I had other professionals working on the house for a few projects and they have been given good feedback too.

Communication is absolutely stellar, and they are great about anticipating needs and taking care of unexpected issues (let's face it, a lot of us here in Santa Barbara have older houses with a lot of quirks.) Joe has the experience and know-how to deal with any bizarre situation that might come up in our unique city. Every member of his team brings their own wealth of experience and professionalism as well. I also felt confident the entire time in the honesty of the business. Invoices and estimates were delivered via email and all costs were accurately anticipated up front. I would recommend Vastola to anyone looking to get the job done right, and I will definitely have them come back next time we need more electrical work, as we are planning further renovations down the road. Not only are they the best electricians we've worked with, they are the best contractors of any kind we've worked with. I wish every contractor was up to their standard of excellence and honesty.
