I needed an extra outlet - so I could plug in a central vacuum power head - and it wasn't in the…read moreright spot. So I call "another" company that had good Yelp ratings and explain the job. Simple enough - cut a hole in the drywall next to the stud, hang a single gang box, connect the power wires that are already in the wall one foot away, splice and cap, push it back in and done. Hour job, max. Ground floor, tile floor, easy peasy. Price? Well, that will be a "minimum charge" of $225. What? Really? Go back to Yelp and Next Door. Read all the reviews - hmm, Dwell Electric. Oh wait, I know Jason B, and it's his dad, and they are good people. Check that box. So I call and get Paul on the line. He's in the middle of a job, so he asks to call me back. He does. He can be over not tomorrow, but Wednesday. Does that work? Of course it does. 1pm? Perfect. Paul shows up 15 minutes early. Gets greeted by two large German Shepherds, whom he loves and pets and who follow him like trained assistants. Takes a look, says yes, easy job to do. Price? $125 - perfect. Let's go. Opens the wall - wait, their are wires but they aren't hot. What? Checks all the breakers and panels. Hmmm. Apparently when the house was built no one bothered to connect the power for all the 'direct connect central vacuum lines". Darn. That explains why the direct connect wouldn't work and why I'm having an extra outlet installed....Oh well - Paul's like, let's just connect power from over "here" (light switches) in the wall and do some extra work and wiring and maneuvering - ok, no problem, let me know if the cost goes up...Nope. No worries. Job completed in 30 minutes tops. Looks great. Still $125. Paul is an honest business person who charges a fair price and can handle anything from outlets to can lighting installation to complete home projects. He works almost exclusively in the Encinitas - Carlsbad area, so he's local and available and has two other guys just like him at Dwell. Give them a call and you'll be glad you did. I guarantee it, and so do my dogs.

I chose this company because it seemed like the only one that was previously reviewed on yelp. The owner, Jim Rabbit came out with one assistant (a really old guy). The guys were on-time and got right to work. All in all they completed the job quickly and were nice. A few cons: They used my extension cord to run their drills and equipment. Not a big deal, but I thought they would rather use their own stuff. And they didn't roll it up when done. They had to use my hose to run water down the drain in the garage. Water got everywhere, which was expected, but they didn't move stuff that was in the line of fire. Nothing that important, but I would have preferred them to clear the workspace first. And I would have hoped that they would have at least swept out the puddles after the work was complete. The guy asked me for a plunger. Really? You're the freaking plumber and you don't have one?

I would certainly recommend them to anyone in south city who's looking for plumbing maintenance.
