I am currently contracting plumbing & remodel work in the private sector through referral & word of mouth, however work is increasingly slow, especially during the holidays & likely to be slow through tax time.
This position involved the pick up & delivery of medical equipment to include oxygen deliveries, which involved the correct completion of very detailed paperwork & a strong emphasis on customer service.
This position involved the installation of appliances, mostly dishwashers, typically, picking up the new appliance from designated location, deliver, install, complete paperwork and then haul away the old appliance. Work was consistent but Vision Const. was awarded territory up north and no longer employs installers in the San Diego area. Unfortunately the contractor who was awarded the San Diego area was not hiring, so I bid work through Dynamex.
During this time I was employed in the kitchen cabinet reface and remodel dept. for Sears Home Improvement. However, after a couple of years of doing remodel or reface installs. I chose to accept Sears offer for me to perform as their “ Finish Plumber” mostly for the plumbing hookups after the countertops go in. When they did not have plumbing hook ups or other plumbing work, i.e.: move gas lines, hot/cold water lines, or drain conversions etc. I would perform service on cabinets, cabinet doors, countertops, laminate, electrical outlets and switches, etc. Sears decided in 2010 to use only licensed, bonded and insured contractors on their jobs and as they had very little work at that time and still have very little work, I did not feel it was profitable to obtain my C-6, etc. so I went back to contracting.
During this time I was accepting the majority of my work from a company named, Installs Inc. They were subcontracting work from companies such as Best Buy, Circuit City, Dish network, Direct TV, etc. just to name a few. Being proficient in cable and coming from working with Cox Communications I was quickly installing Satellite Dishes as well as home theater, plasma TV, surround sound, hi fi stereo, VCR, DVD, Tivo, etc. which required speakers and cable to be installed sometimes in walls ceilings etc. running phone lines for Tivo, install electrical lines and outlets etc. Because of my proficiency I was soon being contracted to troubleshoot problem jobs or complete/repair jobs other techs could not. When this company lost several of its contracts the work basically got real thin then stopped. Rather than seek out a new subcontractor, in the home theater industry, I accepted an excellent opportunity to work as an employee with Sears.
During my employment with Sunshine Comm. as an HSD (High speed Data) tech. My duties included the installation of the High Speed Internet Service for Cox Communications; as well as basic, expanded, and digital television installs and/or reconnects which include, customer education, running coax cable under houses, thru attics or exterior wiring as necessary. This would also include installing necessary hardware and/or software on the customer’s computer. I was considered an expert tech. and I was often routed with trouble calls rather than installs. Due to numerous changes in the way and the amount contractors were paid by Cox Communications for services rendered, much to my dismay, I was forced to seek other/more gainful employment.
I began working with Aloha Solar in Oct of 1994. My duties included responding to service calls for the diagnosis and repair or replacement of solar, electrical and gas water heaters, solar panels, toilets, faucets, p-traps, etc. As well as unclogging drains as necessary. Location and repair of water leaks to include full and partial rerouting of hot or cold water lines in both commercial and residential situations. Most of the calls I responded to were residential plumbing repair, however, Aloha was also involved in the contracting of tenant improvement / new const. in which I became very proficient at rough installations, including top out, trim, finish, and fire sprinkler installations, (galv) etc. I left Aloha Solar in Aug of 1997 due to Mr. Hufton dissolving his business and moving to Beaverton, Or. As the economy in Hawaii proved to be in desperation, I decided to move my family to San Diego, however, due to my extensive experience as a service tech of one type or another, and my self taught computer skills I decided to change my occupation and hire on with a fairly new company as a cable installation technician, changing my occupation to, HSD tech. (Cable Guy).
I was hired by Hawaiiana mgmt. to work as a resident mgr. They wanted to start me in a small complex and work me up to something larger. At all of the complexes I worked the duties were very similar. Duties included grounds keeping, pool and common area cleaning and maint. Enforcement of certain house and pool rules. Maintaining necessary paperwork, overseeing vendors and special projects etc. All complexes were privately owned condos with a board of directors, so I did not market, show or turnover units. Below is a list of the complexes that I worked while I was with Hawaiiana management.
30-floor 120-unit, high-rise condominium complex with swimming pool. Lots of ongoing interior painting, ground maint.& pool maint.
60-units 5-buildings 3-floors, townhouse condos. Lots of yard work, common area bldg. maint. & parking enforcement, no pool.
49-units 9-floors, high-rise condominium complex, with swimming pool. Lots of common area cleaning, pool maint. & house rule/pool rule enforcement.
In May of 1987 I began working as a service plumber with Geronimo. This entailed responding to occupied units to perform various plumbing and drain repairs including but not limited to the repair or replacement of, toilets, faucets, water heaters, angle stops, sinks, etc. Also clearing clogged drains as necessary and finally making a determination as to whether the cause of the damage was due to normal wear and tear or occupant abuse, which required appropriate reports to be filed. Around June of 1988 Geronimo lost a portion of their Military Housing Contracts and gained some others, which left them over manned in plumbing and undermanned in housing repair. I accepted a transfer to a position as a service tech. and received on the job training in housing repair and change of occupancy. This was primarily servicing unoccupied units for turnover but did include service repairs to occupied units, as well as rotating duties as punch list tech. for housing inspections. This was similar to service plumbing and included plumbing, only now my duties were also to include but not be limited to the repair or replacement of electrical outlets, wall switches, light fixtures, wall and ceiling fans etc. Changing doors, locks, knobs, hinges, etc. Repairing closet doors, vinyl and tile floors, windows, screens, sliding glass and screen doors, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, drawers, and countertops etc.Then determine probable cause of damages and file appropriate reports.When I learned that Geronimo had been underbid by ABC Co. I chose to accept a position as a resident mgr. through Hawaiiana mgmt. they started me at the Lehuanani.
Position: Serviceman (Drain Cleaner / Plumber) Duties included: Responding to calls from dispatch for clogged drains, faucet, toilet, p-trap and water line leaks, etc. Diagnosed problem, sold solution, completed repairs and collected payment for finished job, filled out all necessary paperwork, clean and maintain a company vehicle, as well as tools and inventory.
Duties included: Assisting dentists in routine dental procedures and oral surgeries. Rotating duties included dental hygiene, (performing routine scalings/cleanings), radiology to include panoramic x-rays, office reception and administration. I also trained with the FMF (Fleet Marine Force), for field exercises (desert and cold weather), with US Marine Corps. I received my honorable discharge in Sept. 1984
Thank you for your time.
