My boyfriend and I recently purchased a hot tub and needed electrical work done. We looked on yelp…read morefor electricians in the area and came across Julius. He was available around our work schedules, which was a huge plus, and cost effective. We had him working before the arrival of our hot tub to prepare wiring and what not. We paused the work until our hot tub was closer to arriving and when contacting him to come back, he suddenly expressed difficulty finishing the job. As with any backyard designing, we were trying to figure out our layout and played around with different placements of the hot tub. Julius appeared stressed and expressed how he didn't know if he could finish the job for us because we were changing what he originally signed up for. He started self disclosing personal issues and arguing in our backyard. (Our neighbors told us a few days later how they heard the entire situation). We were both embarrassed and appalled at his behavior in our backyard. In discussing our changing plans, Julius kept making comments about how our plans were basically stupid because they weren't saving us money. His work was great, but he needs to work on his professional skills. He shared with us various other jobs he was getting, which made us feel "side-stepped" and put on the back burner because he clearly has time for other customers with larger jobs. Started out great, but ended disappointed.

We were very happy to find his info on yelp and reconnected with him. He was happy to match the lowest quote. Jason did an even better job this time on our house, which needed a deep sanding from years of layered paint, and he filled cracks and holes. He did such a good job that it looks like we installed new siding!!! Not bad for a 97 year old house!!! I highly recommend Jason!!

Thank you Paul for moving some outlets closer to the new toilets. He knows Santa Barbara and went to Westmont college. I found him because of his good reviews on yelp. He certainly met and exceeded expectations. He is very reasonable. We will call him again. You'll be lucky to have him as your electrician. He was on time too. Positive energy.

Terry has been the go-to contractor and handyman for the Isla Vista Food Co-op for over 10 years…read more His commitment to community partnership is an important part of how we've been able to keep growing our relationship with his wonderful local business, including his ability to work with us on all parts of the projects that we've engaged him about over the years. Terry and I have planned large-scale construction projects, and he's always been a great point-person with the County. His knowledge of the permit process and accountability for excellence in the relationship between the County and our Projects have made it easy to be successful in navigating this hard part of our work. He has great vision for how to make things better, including thinking ahead for multiple solutions in the same project (ie when the Co-op put on a new roof, he spent time re-creating the structure of all refrigeration and electrical so it was clean, safe, and able to open the roof for solar panels). When the solar panels went on, two years after the new roof, we were already ready! And then when the panels went on, he was able to think forward for new refrigeration unit planning, so there was appropriate space already there to receive our new condensing unit. That level of forward thinking strategy has been HUGE for our own planning. Terry has a great capacity for large project on-site coordination, including a strong oversight of subcontractors and strong communication with his own workers. The Co-op has many people and things moving through all the time, and Terry has been able to weave his work into our own flow on a very high level, including how he can coordinate and communicate with our team to ensure safe and efficient operations. Terry is also willing to oversee small projects on an ongoing and self-directed basis. He is able to work with myself and our team to establish a list of ongoing projects and then determine priorities to execute that also take our store flow into account (including best times of the year for larger in-store refreshment projects). He is able to easily communicate with our team and be working in-store while we're open for business, ensuring a safe and clean area for customers to keep shopping while he is working. I'm always impressed by Terry's commitment to keeping things safe, organized, and well planned so he and his team can work on their highest level, while we are as well. Our two businesses have grown together over the years, and it's been wonderful to have Keller Construction as a partner as the Co-op has been able to continually improve our physical plant and operations with Terry and his team by our side!

The first time I used him I was away on business and got a emergency call from a property I rent who was having an emergency.

They both did great jobs (Precision Tile) and worked together on the schedule. I would recommend Chris to any one needing a good reliable plumber.
