Initial Review
Service: Rewired lamps in the home
I reached out over the weekend and he still wrote me back to schedule a visit, which I appreciated. He came when he said he would and rewired the lamps, all solved in one visit, and communication was great and very responsive. Everything was good and met my expectations. The price was a little higher than what he first quoted and probably a little bit high for what it was, but not an issue.

Initial Review
Service: Apartment renovation, electrical and plumbing work, AC installation, emergency repairs
I started with his father more than 20 years ago, and now Karl takes care of my tourist apartments in Barcelona. He renovated an apartment, did all the electrical work, water, new pipes, and installed air conditioning in several apartments. He is available as soon as I call him - he even came on a Friday to check water dripping and no lights, and once arrived in half an hour and saved me from a very big water damage. Everything always fits perfectly, he is super fast, punctual and professional, and the price feels fair!

Initial Review
Service: Electrical work and bathroom renovation in Girona apartment
Steve came to do electricity work in my apartment in Girona, and also redid the bathroom - the shower and all the stuff. I was very happy with his work and the price felt fair. He was always responsive and very punctual, even a few minutes before the time. Everything was fine and I would call him again.
