Once all the details had been hashed out, they were extremely prompt in coming by to install the lights.

We will definitely be hiring this company again next year and every year after that for as long as we live in the area and they are in business!

I hate putting up Christmas lights, as does anyone who is ever hung off of a too short ladder, clinging to the gutter... Enter Ryan and Tyler. They dealt with our non-standard gutters like total pros, provided, installed and later took down the lights and packed for storage - all in a super timely way working with our schedule parameters. Will be using Light It Up for the rest of forever, because I can think of about 702 things I'm better at doing than dangling from my gutters. I'll leave this job to the pros :)

When I realized my outdoor electric plugs provided no power on Tuesday, since it is a lifeline to my sprinkler system, I sent a request via Yelp after flipping breakers on my electric panel, and nothing worked. S&B promptly responded within minutes. After setting up an appointment for noon on Wednesday, Stewart called me about 15 minutes in advance while he was on his way to my house, inquiring if I tried the reset button in the garage? Problem solved. Not only that, he explained in detail why. He insisted on not accepting any payment from me, even after I asked to pay for his time, given that he was on his way and had taken the time to explain. It is such a wonderful experience with Stewart of S&B Electric.

I went to several big box stores to find something comparable with no luck. I resorted to buying a fill-in lamp and ordering 2 more lamps from different retailers to hopefully land on one and return the others. Feeling dejected I thought to search for a lighting store and WC Lighting came up. I was only 3 miles away so I gave it a shot. As soon as I walked in, I smiled for the first time. I found my lamp! Nevada was so helpful and sweet. Everyone at the store understood my grief over breaking my lamp. I am so happy with our new lamp and my husband says he likes it even better than the 1st! Thank you!

Rather than buying new lights, I've been retrofitting dilapidated vintage lights into our cottage. One of the light mechanisms in an old factory pen lamp was screwed up more than I could decipher with a voltmeter. I brought the offending light to Berkeley Lighting, and they dove in and fixed the problem with only a little bit of digging through the spare bits of a hardware box.

When we were figuring out the best way to mount the shutters, Sunny realized the nails he brought were a bit too small for the job. Instead of trying to make do, he took the initiative and ran out to Home Depot to pick up the proper screws. He also did a fantastic job getting our new house numbers put up cleanly and securely. Bottom line... his work was outstanding. If you need exterior work done around the house, I definitely recommend giving Sunny a call.

We needed to replace fixtures because of a leak that was causing damage to a bathroom in our home. Online shipping costs and delays, return issues, and the need for DIY installation led us to look for a reliable local store. I called Jack London Kitchen and Bath, and was helped by Kevin, who is fantastic. In one fifteen minute trip, instead of hours agonizing online, he helped me pick out all the fixtures. The price was as low as anything I had found online, had far better styling, and matched our design aesthetic perfectly. Installation was arranged and occurred the day after I went to the store. The process was seamless and the finished product fantastic. I could not recommend this store more highly based on my experience.
