Edward’s Enterprises General Contractor & Handyman

How lucky I feel to have a trustworthy, all-​around handyman (handy people?) service nearby. I’ve used their service for minor electrical, installing a kitchen faucet, fixing our garden sprinkler system, pulling up old plants, and cleaning out gutters. Each time I was impressed with how focused the workers were. They got right to work, which is comforting since customers pay by the hour. With each service I gave been 100% satisfied, and you can’t ask for more than that.

The job involved fixing a leak and adding several devices to three existing water drip systems around my house. The worker assigned to the task did an excellent job. From the outset he was clear about what the needs of the job were and what his approach to the work would be. Between the spare parts I had in my garage and the parts that he brought with him, no additional shopping for materials or parts was necessary. The Edward’s individual completed the work expeditiously and performed what needed to be done in a fully professional, competent and gracious manner. The price based on the hours it took was fair and had been made clear from an estimate at the outset of the work.

Very good general contractor. I had them clean out the rain gutters at my 3 bedroom townhouse in Santa Barbara and they did a great job. No hanging around, riding the clock etc. The two guys got straight to work and finished in an hour (I agreed to clean the yard afterwards — an easy task compared to climbing on the roof). I recommend this company.

Mike had excellent customer service and communication. the company worked hard to remedy a service issue.

We called on Wednesday to hopefully schedule a hauling service for the weekend; they were able to book us an appointment earlier – which was greatly welcomed by my wife who’s been wanting our backyard in a walkable/​usable means for some time now. The two guys they sent were very kind and worked hard to remove all of the construction debris from our remodeling project, and were much quicker than we had initially anticipated. Overall we’re very happy, and our only very minor complaint is that we wish they offered more weekend appointments. I was told they do offer some Saturday scheduling, but there’s an hourly booking minimum – which I suppose makes sense. Like I said, my wife is happy and I’m also glad to now have the space to remodel the backyard patio area too (sarcasm my wife won’t appreciate).

I asked these guys to connect a water line from a kitchen sink to my fridge ice maker. My original estimate was $ 99 for the 1^st hour and $ 49 for every other hour, and he guessed it would take about 45 minutes, which sounded reasonable. I even bought the ice maker connection kit and tubing so it was there for them and ready to go. OF COURSE, they had to drive to Home Depot to pick up parts they didn’t have, and ended up spending 3.5 HOURS and charging me $ 256.50.
Update: After complaining about my experience, the owner contacted me and offered a partial refund for the drive to Home Depot. I appreciate their willingness to work with me, and I AM very happy with the job they did. I’d recommend sending photos or a video of exactly what you need done in advance of their arrival, so there are no surprises or significant estimate revisions once they’re on site. This is a good rule when dealing with any contractor.
