The Carlsbad Strawberry company offers a fantastic U-Pick experience during strawberry season. For…read more$18 per adult, I got admissions and a reasonably sized bucket for picking strawberries. It's easy to fill up the bucket with ripe strawberries quick. Although it doesn't seem like there's a lot of strawberries at first glance, there's a lot as I walked through the rows of strawberry plants - that was part of the fun! One thing I wasn't prepared for was the dirt and how muddy the strawberry rows were. I'm not sure if it was always that wet. Perhaps it was because it rained earlier in the day? My shoes got extremely dirty and there wasn't a convenient way to wash it off there. I recommend wearing rain boots. In addition to strawberries, there was a sunflower maze and a separate section for a simple sunflower field. For those who don't want to worry about food, there's vendors and food trucks on site. They also sell jam and fresh strawberries at the stand, which doesn't require an admissions ticket. Service wasn't anything special. The staff there were efficient and friendly. Overall, I enjoyed my time there and I recommend visitors trying out the U-Pick experience!

We had an issue with our home fire sprinkler system making a strange rattling noise and called at…read moreleast a dozen companies trying to get someone to assess it. Most of them charged a fee just to come take a look, but ASI Fire Protection stood out immediately by not charging any assessment fee at all -- and ultimately exceeded every expectation. From the very first call, their customer service was fantastic. They initially scheduled us for Friday, but when the owner realized he would be in our area, he generously rearranged his schedule and came out the very next day. That level of consideration alone was impressive. He quickly identified the issue, fixed it, and went above and beyond by improving our overall fire sprinkler system -- far more than we originally requested. He was kind, professional, efficient, and incredibly knowledgeable. On top of everything else, the pricing was an amazing value for the level of service provided. It's rare to find a company with this level of integrity, skill, and genuine care for their customers. We cannot recommend ASI Fire Protection highly enough.

After lightly bumping my inspector's test valve on the outside of my house, and setting off the…read moresprinkler system, fire alarm, I learned a lot about what an inspector's test valve actually is. Firstly, is not anything that a Handyman can fix for you, not even a licensed plumber can mess with those, you have to have a fire certified specialist. That's where ASI comes in. I called them and spoke with one of their employees on the phone, on the same day that I had to shut down the water for my entire house. She was super helpful and convinced one of their employees to stop what he was currently doing and get down to my place to help me get my water back on again. Victor, the ASI employee who showed up, was fantastic. Not only did he fix the valve, but he was also a very interesting person in general with lots of stories related to his industry and adventures he had had in it. With only a couple of delays, my water was back on before the sunset on the same day that I had broken that little valve. Highly recommended. And when I say "highly recommended" I'm talking about using ASI, I'm not recommending that you break your inspector's test valve on the outside of your house, those things can get expensive.

Nothing is worse than trying to call about your service and getting someone who you can't understand at all. Consistent and practical.
