It never happened

Response from C READ & SON ELECTRIC INC
Hi [Member Name Removed], I apologize if you think "we refused to service you". Because we are a small family owned business, to keep our costs down, we only service areas in the east valley. I map quested your address and you were about 40 minutes north of us. I hate to turn away anyone who calls for service, but if we don't service your area, it's because it isn't cost effective for us. We strive to be efficient in all that we do. We feel we are doing that by all of our great reviews and A ratings. I'm sorry you felt it necessary to give us a C rating when you really had nothing to rate us on, other than the fact we don't service your area. Clarence and Jacki

Hi (Member name removed), If a member sends me a message through Angie's List, I get that message through an email alert or when I log into my account at Angie's List I can see all of my messages. I just double checked everything and I don't have a message of any sort from you. If you left me a message on our business line, which is, 480-940-6400, I don't have a message from you there either. I apologize if some how I missed your call. If I am out of the office and someone leaves me a voice mail,I do return all calls in a very timely manner. Again, I am sorry, that somehow we didn't connect. I would be more than happy to call you back if you would like to send me your phone number or an email. Thank you, Jacki Read

Description of Work: C Read did two things for me. One, they ran a 20 amp dedicated line from the electric box located on the north side of my house to the inside of my garage which is on the south side of the house. They also added 2 coach lights to my garage. | |The work was done on time and the quality is 2nd-to-none. No sloppy work here. No short cuts. Done right and done right the first time. | |They are not the lowest price but then again, with C Read Electric, you are getting what you pay for which is quality work and professionalism. | |Clarence and his wife, who runs the office, are very easy going and enjoyable to work with.
