What Coastal LA Homeowners Say
Verified visible reviews. The same review text is referenced in this page's structured data.
★★★★★
Old 100-amp Federal Pacific panel in our place near Hawthorne Blvd. Bayline didn't try to sell me a 400-amp service — they did a load calc, recommended 200A, coordinated with SCE, and pulled the permit. Three inspections later we have a clean Square D panel and the EV charger is on a real circuit. Took two days, not the week the other guys quoted.
★★★★☆
HOA scheduling delay on our condo on Via Marina was the only friction. Bayline coordinated with the building manager and got us into the elevator pad on a Tuesday. The mini-split install itself was clean. Lost a star because their first quote didn't account for the rooftop condenser placement; revised quote was fair.
★★★★★
Riviera Village condo — shared sewer lateral question. Bayline figured out the public/private boundary, talked to the city, and saved us from paying for what turned out to be the city's responsibility. They charged for the camera inspection only. Refreshing.
