Their work was great. So, when we needed to replace some glass in two outdoor lighting fixtures, JNL was the obvious choice. They were outstanding with this relatively small job. Martha is such a pleasure to work with and was incredibly helpful in selecting the right style of glass. The guys in the back were also very accommodating. We were in a bit of a rush, and they came through on time with great work at a reasonable price. There are plenty of glass shops in Santa Barbara, but JNL Glass will always be our top choice.

I found Tom, owner of Espa Air, here on Yelp. After reading the great reviews, I called for service…read moreon our air conditioner. His communication here on yelp was fantastic. He was able to come out the same day and service our system. He added Freon, installed a new nest thermostat for us, and added dampers to our ductwork to balance the airflow in the home. I can't speak highly enough for the quality of his work and the integrity of the service. He worked quickly and efficiently. He was more than respectful to my elderly mother and followed all COVID safety procedures. Friendly and efficient, the work was done quickly - including running to the store for parts. I've had a lot of bad experiences in the past with HVAC contractors, I have to say, I will never go anywhere else again for service. Thanks so much Tom. The cold air feels wonderful and is perfectly balanced in the home now. His prices were VERY AFFORDABLE. I can't recommend Tom at Espa Air highly enough to you!

With a major heat wave on the way, I needed AC back up and running, and fast! Tom responded to my request for quote very promptly and was available to come out same day. He showed up with a mask, his toolkit, and a great deal of professionalism. I'm the kind that hovers over a technician's shoulder because I just love to know how everything works and Tom patiently explained lots of stuff about how AC units work...and why mine wasn't. He was able to procure the correct parts and fix my unit quickly and got me back up and running. I held off writing this review until my AC unit had weathered a couple heat waves to make sure that the work Tom had done held up. Everything is still running smoothly and I've stayed cool all summer. Thanks, Tom!

Vastola has done numerous projects at our recently purchased 1960s era home over the past few…read moremonths (including a new breaker panel install, new HVAC wiring, and more), and everything was completed in a prompt and professional manner. 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.

I mistakenly sent this handyman a Zelle payment intended for another vendor. The payment clearly referenced my invoice number. Bank of America confirmed he received the funds, and their retrieval request was denied because he refused to authorize the return.

The money was never returned, despite clear evidence it was sent in error. I worry about what that could mean for future clients or more important matters.
