Nothing like a family run business for over the top service! Here it is, no edits... I called GKA Lighting in Milwaukie, OR and talked to JR, proprietor. He said he could probably fix my brass lamp switch while I waited. Indeed, it took him about 10 minutes, tops. A very interesting man with a degree in architecture, JR does antique & period lighting, restoration and repair, custom light fixture design and manufacturing.. His business has all kinds of lamp shades, oddities and antique lamps. A great resource. FIVE STARS ! Diane Nealey Portland. Oregon

I've used Young Electric twice now and they were great both times…read more We had an intermittent failure of some hallway lights in the back of our old 1920's home. When Brandon from Young Electric showed up, the problem stopped and the lights were working perfectly. But instead of just charging us and leaving, Brandon did a general inspection of our wiring and gave us some advice that was hugely helpful! He also said that if our lights give us trouble again, he would be happy to check again as a follow-up to our existing appointment. Later, we called Young Electric to upgrade the old plugs in our attic bedrooms to modern, 3-prong plugs. Since our house was old and we didn't want to rip all the walls open, Lalo the electrician offered to run a new circuit up to the attic through an outside conduit. But he also told us that we could just install GFCI plugs in our bedroom outlets instead of rewiring everything and it would be just as safe and up to code. In the end we agreed to the GFCI upgrade as it was a lot cheaper and required a lot less work. They did a great job and even cleaned up the mess after. All in all, very professional and helpful.

I gave them one star only because 0 stars was not an option…read more Very disappointing experience with Young Electric. I scheduled electrical work and paid a $505 down payment by credit card. I had to cancel the appt two weeks in advance, before any work was performed, and I was told I would receive a full refund. What followed was weeks of unanswered emails, repeated follow-ups, and multiple promises that the refund would be processed "soon" or by a certain date. After filing a dispute with my credit card company, I decided to give them one more opportunity to resolve the issue directly. I called and was told the appropriate person was in a meeting and would return my call. Believing the matter was finally being handled, I canceled the dispute. Unfortunately no call ever came. After calling back again and continuing to get nowhere, I had to reopen the dispute. It has now been over 4 1/2 weeks, and they still have not reimbursed my down payment despite no work being performed and no materials being provided. Extremely poor communication and follow-through. It is unfortunate that keeping a customer's money appears to have mattered more than protecting the company's reputation.

When they asked me to come get it, I said could they return it. The woman said they would have to pay taxes and fees to return it. I offered to pay the fees and she said they couldn't collect the fees. So I drove to Sister's, picked up the GD thing to return it myself and save them $12.30. I look at how to return it "We recommend you return it to a retail store, where they will issue a refund minus fees". UGH! Never again any ACE. LOWE's is my suggestion.

I'm incredibly impressed with the service I received from High Desert Irrigation for my Eagle Crest home's irrigation repair. I was experiencing intermittent errors with my sprinkler system. High Desert Irrigation arrived on time, quickly diagnosed the issues, and had everything up and running in no time. They made sure everything was running before leaving the property, and made a point to contact them if the issues persist. What really stood out was their professionalism, honesty, and integrity to standby their work. They explained the problems clearly, gave a fair quote, and didn't try to upsell unnecessary services. The repairs were done efficiently, and the system now works better than ever! It's such a relief to have found a company I can trust that's reliable and accountable! They're on my A-list, and at the top of my Digital Rolodex for everything sprinkler related If you're looking for dependable, high-quality irrigation repair service, I highly recommend High Desert Irrigation -- they set the standard!

I don't have enough time to fully detail my experience with Newport Landscaping, but I can…read moreconfidently say I would never give this company another penny. I hired them for roughly $100,000 worth of residential landscaping work (no hardscaping, just grass, mulch and planting), and the results were extremely disappointing -- both in workmanship and customer service. The experience deteriorated to the point where I had to threaten legal action and report them to the Oregon CCB for breach of contract before anyone took my concerns seriously. A few highlights from the experience: * The project manager showed up to my property multiple times smelling strongly of alcohol -- on the rare occasions he actually came to the job site. * The professionally designed landscaping plan we paid for and provided to Newport was not followed. Major deviations were made without approval, which created unnecessary issues throughout the project. * Their estimate severely underbid the amount of mulch required for the property -- by more than 40 yards. This caused delays, frustration, and obvious concerns about the competence of the planning process. * Coordination between Newport Landscaping and Thompson Pump & Irrigation was terrible. I essentially had to act as the general contractor myself just to get the irrigation pond functioning properly, and it took months to resolve. * Jana, who I believe is an administrative manager, initially came to the property, listened to concerns, and assured me they would make things right. Unfortunately, nothing meaningful happened until I began threatening legal action and filing complaints with the CCB. There's far more I could say, but the bottom line is this: this company appears far too large and disorganized for the level of professionalism they advertise. Even some of their own employees openly complained about the company and management while on-site, which frankly is embarrassing. Read the 1-star reviews carefully. You may get lucky and have a good experience, but you may also end up deeply regretting your decision like I did.
