I would not hesitate to recommend Alex and his team for any job! I met Alex when house hunting in Olivenhain and as soon as I moved in engaged him to help with a major overhaul of my electrics (Electric box dating from pre-code 1970s!), a remodel of the master bathroom and some modifications to the shower room.

The job was completed within... read full review
