Response from Target Electric & Solar
Hello and thanks for your review. This coupon was for a ceiling fan replacement for $79.00. We talked about you wanting to add an additional two more locations with wiring and I disclosed that there would be extra charges for the other locations as well as having them wired because there was no switching and the coupon does not cover extra work. I remember the only thing that stopped us from performing the work was that you didn't agree with the price on the extra locations. The coupon is for a ceiling fan swap out and I honestly dont understand how that can get confused or be misleading. Furthermore you told me that you wanted a refund because the extra charges and we tried our best to make it work and avoid the refund. So, the work was never done due to price so giving us a review based off a refunded service we never performed we feel is a bit unfair. I am the owner and I really try hard to make my customers happy and give above and beyond services to ensure happy satisfied clients. I dont understand were we went wrong here. If there's anything we can do to help or if you can reach out to me we can discuss things further and possibly we can offer some discounted services to help. The end result was we we're given a satisfactory review for a refunded service that never took place.

Description of Work: Sean (the owner) came out approximately 12:00 as stated and replaced a faulty light switch in the hallway and also for the front porch light. He inspected several switches in other areas of the house and gave me recommendations. He was very professional and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure having him work for me. I definitely recommend him highly and wouldn't hesitate recommending him to my family, friends and neighbors.

Description of Work: They installed a ceiling fan and a whole lot more. I expected to have to install a fan bracket along with the additional cost. Sean went out of his way to insure the existing box was adequate for the fan. He proved to both of us that the box was more than adequate. Once the fan was installed it proved to be unstable at high speed. Sean worked extra time struggling to balance the fool thing. Sean was quick, efficient, HONEST, and friendly. I'd hire them again in a moment.

Response from Target Electric & Solar
Thanks for the great review Sir. We think Angie's List may have made a mistake and added an incorrect grade on "Quality" from the paper review form you filled out and we sent in to them. I remember and that was blank because you were waiting to see how the power held after I left. We are ready and available for any future work you may have. Thanks again it was a pleasure working with you.

Response from Target Electric & Solar
Hi and thanks for the review. I just wanted to say that I am sorry you feel that the price was unfair. The materials were actually exponentially more than $500.00 and I am not sure how you came up with that number. When I met with you and went over the job you had a major fire hazard from incorrect electrical work performed by a unlicensed electrician with underrated wires and breakers controlling your stove unit. When I gave you the estimate I was very clear on the pricing. We do a lot of these kind of jobs and people are always happy with the service. I didn't try to push you into something you may not have wanted. I was professional and understanding to your project and requests. Our estimate was signed and accepted and the work was done in the time frame you requested and up to code. We also replaced the main electrical metered panel and I was meticulous on making sure your project was 100% completed to your satisfaction before I left. That kind of project has certain costs considering its the main distribution and is not based on hours on the job but by the project. There was more then a full day of work, there was an original bid on a separate day and a lot of materials purchased plus the install day. You mentioned that you were going to have your family member, who has some electrical background look at my work and make sure the price was fair. From our experience, when we do a good job and successful install if another electrician comes and gives his opinion on the price after its done its of course always lower. This especially goes for a family member who may be giving you a BIG discount. Every electrical company has different pricing and we are very fair and again I'm sorry the price didn't settle with you after I left. I called and spoke with you and tried to explain some of this because we do not want our clients to feel like they have been over charged. Just a small suggestion, always get a few quotes prior to the work to make sure your getting a correct and fair estimate. When you try to get quotes on the work after you accept and complete the project scope it does not give you an accurate idea of what the numbers are and could be unfair to the contractor whom did the original work. I really liked meeting with you and your family and again I am sorry for any confusion. I do not believe we deserve an F for price and B for quality. We completed the job to 100% satisfaction with no mistakes and even did extra work for no additional charges. I painted the Phone box and Cox boxes to match your main electrical panel on the side of the house. I thought that would constitute a definitive A grade across the board. I can always help with any electrical issue in the future and address anything you need, but what I cant solve is buyers remorse after the projects completed. Thank you and please feel free to call me directly with any questions or concerns.

Description of Work: Checked all the breakers on the panel and relocated where necessary. Labeled all very clearly. I was pleased with the service - could not have asked for anything to go more smoothly. It was entirely satisfactory. The above date of service is an estimate only but it was probably about a year ago.

Description of Work: My power kept going out. I hired the owner to troubleshoot; he said it was a $375 service fee which includes repair during the visit. He said he was sending out one of his best guys. The guy that came out and before he even got the job done said, "oh ya, this is common, should be an easy fix" and while my husband was observing his work the man mentioned "ya, I gotta make sure to do a good job for you Angie's list customers" as if it's not common otherwise? Then, the man was trying to pry off a switch or something in the box, broke it, hoped my husband wouldn't see and just discreetly placed it back and kept moving.. My husband said "uh, hello, is that broken?" And the man made a shy giggle and said, "oh, it's fine" and smiled. When the man went to his truck my husband looked closer and noticed metal was exposed under the broken piece and then called the owner who was quite disappointed to hear this, turns out it wasn't ok! I have to assume by this that the man wouldn't have mentioned the damage he caused if my husband hadn't noticed, and it was actually a hazard!! After all this, it turns out that the owner knew this was only gonna be a half hour standard fix and still felt it honorable to charge me $375 PLUS parts totalling $525! I had another electrician come out afterward and do an entire day's (6 hours work) wiring all my ceiling fans, adding switches to 3 rooms, adding remotes, and only charged me $350, and was disappointed to hear about Target's abuse of my trust. What's worse, the actual service I bought on Angie's list, $99 for a whole home inspection, was a lie: the owner himself did it and didn't actually do a thorough job; he finished and said "well, everything looks good.. No code violations.." And my husband interrupted and said "well right above our island the lights were wired from these other lights and there's no box" and the owner was like, "oh, ya, I didn't look over there" in essence admitting he didn't actually do the thorough inspection we paid for. At this point we were just done with the guy and dismissed him.

Response from Target Electric & Solar
First off, we apologize for any inconvenience or mixed feelings about our services on your home. We strive to meet every customers highest expectation and make sure that before we are finished the customers are satisfied and all work is clean, honest and up to code. I remember this job and the initial conversation. We disclosed our price and honored a $39.00 Whole House Electrical Inspection and diagnostic and repairs. All prices were fair and accepted. I felt we had actually helped by accomplishing the problems and concerns and did a successful service. We were very professional and I was there to step in when you had concerns. The work was accomplished up to code and in a clean manner. I TRULY apologize for any miscommunication or misunderstanding. We offer this coupon and many have been able to uncover many safety issues and potential fire hazards with it and we have made many good friends along the way with our services. There is a certain scope to the coupon that includes testing and inspection but is also limited to some things as well. If there is anything I list its a potential job for us and a help to your home or business so, I dont rush through it I really dig. Although in rare cases I cant spot everything every time and I'm sorry if I missed that item. Its a great service with honest results as our reviews reflect over our time here. I'm sorry the prices didn't suit you and was some confusion about the work. We are a family run and owned company. I am always available to talk about concerns of this nature if they escalated to this level there are things I can do possibly to help but we never received any call. Please feel free to call me if there's anything I can clear up or help with. I understand there was some concern but I do not believe in my honest opinion this service deserved this rating and untrue description of the service and coupon. Thanks again, we learned a lot from this review and will strengthen our services even higher for future customers.

Description of Work: It started out as a service call on my dryer which turned into replacing the 1953 sub and main electric panels. After the above work, I decided to have all the switches and outlets in the house and garage updated and modernized. Sean walked me through the entire process with knowledge, professionalism, and a great desire to make sure that I was pleased with the work. A couple glitches did happen that Sean took care of immediately. I feel his prices were more than fair. One could not ask for a more dedicated electrician. In fact, we have already discussed two jobs for next year.

Description of Work: Sean is the owner and came out on a Sunday to assess what needed to be done and to get us temporary service. Our house is 51 years old so things are not always straight forward. Sean would not leave until he was comfortable that everything was safe until the breaker box was replaced. |Sean, gave us quote for the additional work in a timely manner. The second visit was just as professional as the first. He was on time and very conscientious about his work. We would use him again.
