About ERB – Express Repair Buddy

ERB – Express Repair Buddy is a San Diego home repair company. We handle plumbing, electrical, HVAC, drywall and general repairs for homeowners and landlords across San Diego County, and we have been doing it for more than 20 years.

Who we are

We are a local business, not a national booking platform. Our office is at 5560 Ruffin Rd, Ste 1, San Diego, CA 92123, and the technician who turns up works for the same company that quoted your job. That sounds like a small thing until you have been passed between three call centres for one leaking tap.

ERB is part of the Top Choice Remodeling family, based in the same building. It is the reason we can be honest with you about scope: if your job is genuinely bigger than handyman work, we will say so, and the same organisation can take it on rather than sending you off to start again with a stranger.

What 20+ years actually buys you

  • We have seen your house before. Post-war homes in El Cajon, Craftsman properties in La Mesa, coastal builds in Carlsbad where salt air eats hardware, new-build estates in Otay Ranch. Each one fails in its own predictable way.
  • We diagnose before we quote. A visible symptom is not always the problem. Looking properly first is cheaper for you than fixing the wrong thing twice.
  • We work to code. Electrical and plumbing work follows the National Electrical Code and San Diego County requirements. This matters when you sell or refinance.
  • We finish the list. Grouping several small jobs into one visit costs far less than booking them one at a time.

Our track record

More than 300 five-star reviews on Yelp, earned over two decades, almost all of it from homeowners telling their neighbours. We do not filter or moderate reviews and we do not offer anything in exchange for one.

How we work

  1. You call or send the form. During business hours we reply within about 2 minutes.
  2. Free estimate. A clear price before anything starts, with no obligation. See how our pricing works.
  3. A real time window. Not a vague all-day wait.
  4. The work, done properly. Right tools, right parts, to code, and cleaned up afterwards.
  5. You check it before we leave. If it is not right, we fix it there and then.
