*** 3.5 stars *** I…read morewas searching for somewhere that we could work during the day on a trip to Santa Barbara and found the Sandbox. There wasn't too much information online, so I emailed back and forth with them with questions prior to our day trip to Santa Barbara, and they were fairly responsive. We were still a bit concerned how busy it would be and if it would have all the accommodations that we needed to work, but we decided to give a try. We showed up at the Sandbox just after opening on a Friday morning. The door was open and there was only one person working inside. The woman working there told us just to log in and but our day pass on our computers and that would serve as our access to the WiFi. She said she would only be there until noon so to ask her any questions before then. My bf had a bunch of meetings and needed a space to take them in so he had pre-booked the fish tank. But given that there was no one else there and there were three phone booths that were actually much better than the fish tank for taking calls, he talked to the woman up front who said that he could just email them to cancel the reservations. Also, it seemed like a free for all anyways. There was a woman working in there most of the day, including when he had reserved the time, and I did not see her reservations on the schedule. Later, when the owner initially did not want to refund him for the fish tank reservations even though the owner had been there all day and knew he did not use it. He had to go back and forth with him for a while and finally send a picture of the woman sitting in there during his reservation time before he got the credit back. Luckily, the owner finally refunded the money (phew, because I wanted to be able to return and I know that on principle there was no way we'd be going back without that refund). They had a mask policy but even the woman working there was not wearing a mask. Hmmm. All in all this was a great option for us for remote working due to its low price, location and convenience. Pros: - Great location, near downtown Santa Barbara but far enough that there's still lots of free parking nearby - Inexpensive for a day pass - 3 phone booths for private calls (but a free for all so if it's busy there's no guarantee you can get one when you need one) - Not busy so we had a table to ourselves (not sure if this will change post COVID) Cons: - Pretty basic set up, WiFi is good enough but not particularly fast - No amenities or extras (the kitchen has filtered water and maybe drip coffee) - WiFi seems to only work for one device since you need to log in to access it, but maybe you can log in on more than one device (I did not try) - A little nickle and dime-y

Very in professional and crooked plumber. Quotes us about $ 80 to check our backflow device because…read moreit was leaking. After messing with it some more and removing a few parts, he tells us to pay him $800+ to replace the whole kit. Of course we question him why the whole thing is leaking so much worse than before he touched it. We agree that now we have to replace it with him since another plumber would cost us more. His answer is to get angry at us, says he Doesn't want to to the job and storms off while threatening us with "Remember your valve is on the street!" We later find out he STOLE all the remaining parts and we have no recourse bit to buy a new kit! Terrible businessman and human!

Do not make the same mistake I did and call Carroll Plumbing & Maintenance. They did a lousy installation--very slanted tank (which will likely hold more residue and shorten its useful life), a gas hose that stuck out so far that it prevented use of lower cabinets, they didn't replace the cap and left a mess from their work. Plus, they damaged one of my cabinets, so that it was unusable. I sent an email with images laying out the lousy job and damage, suggesting that they should have done a great job after damaging my cabinet, asking them to return to resolve the installation issues. Note that I did not ask them to repair the cabinet. The office manager asked that I call, and when I did, she proceeded to blame my painters for the cabinet damage--painters who helped remove the cabinet and get the new not water heater in place, PRIOR to pointing out the cabinet damage. She suggested that I was lying when I clarified that the painters had not done the damage. She informed me that my custom Columbia cabinets from Hayward were "cheap" and that I should have replaced them anyway, so she should not take any responsibility for their damage, even though I had not asked them to pay for the repair. She also said they never wanted my business in the first place (apparently, they don't like Rheem hot water heaters, which I had to use as my failed unit was still under warranty), so I should pay them immediately, upon them fixing their poor installation. Wow!!! A bully, poor integrity, a total lack of professionalism and a really lousy work ethic with the installer.

Avoid Munoz Plumbing and Repair - HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. MUST READ. Hostile, Aggressive, Profanity,…read moreLied, Short temper, Unprofessional, and Unreliable I recently hired Raul Munoz, owner of Munoz Plumbing and Repair, to fix a leaking galvanized pipe at one of my job sites. As a licensed landscape contractor (C-27) and US military veteran deployed 2x to Afghanistan, running my small business SB Evolution Landscape in Santa Barbara, I've worked with many trades over 12+ years -- but this was one of the worst experiences I've ever had. Raul verbally agreed to complete the repair by the weekend, confirmed he would meet me and my concrete contractor (a longtime friend) on site, and repeatedly assured him over multiple phone calls that he would handle it. He even mentioned he was on a big job but would still make time. He never showed up for the scheduled meeting. On Saturday, he apparently stopped by briefly but left without fixing the leak or notifying either of us because he couldn't locate the main water shut-off valve. When I politely called for an update, he became extremely hostile, yelled "F**k You" multiple times, hung up on me, and later denied ever agreeing to the job -- despite several prior conversations he had directly with his good friend and concrete contractor colleague of mine, confirming multiple times he would. With delays each day. I completely understand that trades get busy, but we had patience since he said he would eventually do it. Clear communication and basic professionalism matter. Had he said upfront that he couldn't take the job, we would have found another plumber immediately. Instead, his delays, no-shows, broken commitments, and verbal abuse left us scrambling. I would strongly advise other contractors, homeowners, and businesses to look elsewhere. See attached screenshot of the call log from his direct line. Horrible experience with an extremely short temper, terrible aggressive manners. Wow very unfortunate and should not be in business and highly NOT recommended to hire.
