★★★★★
Beach apartment, drain backup affecting two units. Bayline figured out which unit's plumbing was the actual cause (not ours) and helped with the conversation with the upstairs neighbor. Clean diplomacy plus clean drains.
★★★★★
Generac standby generator install on a hillside lot. The natural gas line sizing, the transfer switch coordination, the SCE meter work — Bayline handled all of it. We got our first power outage two weeks later and the generator kicked in within 8 seconds.
★★★☆☆
The work itself was fine. My issue was scheduling — I had to call twice to confirm the appointment. Once the tech arrived, the drain was cleared in 45 minutes and the price was reasonable. They could tighten up the front-office side.
