Great telephone inside wiring installation

With the kids in college, we just downsized into our in-law garden apt, where Alan Van Tress set up our land line telephone in under ten minutes flat, moving around piles of boxes, no problem; we're up and running. We got his name and number from BPN, but the listing was pretty old, so I thought I'd update it, here: Alan Van Tress, Backbone Communications, 510-306-0072. Mimi

Telephone Wiring Expert

I wanted to recommend Brian Van Tress (Backbone Communications) as an alternative to calling the phone company to fix telephone wiring problems. He does telephone and network wiring (can add jacks, do new wiring, repair existing wiring, etc.) and is very reasonable. He is also trustworthy and incredibly nice to work with. I have used him for two different homes and think does a great job. He is also licensed. Breese

Phone line repair

I wanted to recommend a phone repairman that recently fixed a dead phone line in our home. To avoid SBC's exorbitant rates, I looked in the yellow pages and found Roy Overall, a former PacBell employee who started his own company. I called him Monday morning, and he and his son showed up by noon the same day. He not only fixed our phone line but also guaranteed his work - if we had problems with the line, he would come back and fix it for free. As it turns out, we did have problems after he left - we kept losing the dial tone because the phone jack was faulty. His son returned within an hour to replace the jack for free, apologizing that they hadn't given us a new jack to begin with. I was so impressed with their service that I wanted to recommend him to all of you, in hopes that you can help keep his fledgling business alive. You can contact him at An Overall Telephone Company, (510) 282-2743. In addition to phone lines, he also installs and repairs cable TV wiring. CL

Wiring Recommendation (Phone, Computer, Misc)

I would like to recommend Geej Mauriva of Complete Wiring and Computer in Oakland. He just installed a computer network for our small business and installed a second phone line. He is GREAT to work with -- very reasonable, thorough and honest. All of the work he has done for us has worked without any glitches. Here is a list of the services he offers:

-Residential/business phones and phone systems
-DSL and Broadband
-Small computer networks
-Broadcast, cable and satellite TV
-Low voltage wiring (e.g. doorbells, etc.)
-Computer hardware and software
 

Need someone to rewire jacks in our house

I am looking for someone to replace the telephone wire to a few jacks in our small home. We have the wire, but I think it is too big of a job for me. Thanks in advance. Justi
