WOERTINK ELECTRIC

DO NOT render electrical service from this company whose owner' name is Alan Woertink. I almost never write a bad review because I believe that people honestly do try their best and sometimes make mistakes. However, this company not only did an unbelievably bad job, did not timely respond to calls/emails/texts after I report the problems, when Alan finally did, he made promises to fix the problem, only to not show up, never bothered to call to let me know that he wouldn't come, then just outright dishonor his promise to fix the electrical problem that he caused. This company is by far the most crooked company I've experienced! So, pls avoid them if you want decent work done, reasonable prices and professionalism! Details of the problem: In July 2015, I contracted with woertink electric to install LED recessed lighting in both units of my duplex. His prices weren't that reasonable, but I thought it would be a good thing to support the local economy. After he and his men installed the lighting, the lights continuously flickered in both units. This was really problematic bc we had to re-align my son's bedroom furniture due to the bad lighting from the constant flickering. I immediately reported the problem to Alan. He told me that the switches were not good and that he would replace them. I thought that that was reasonable that sometimes mistakes happen. Alan went silent for more than a year after this problem. I repeatedly called, texted and possibly emailed (I will have to check my email to confirm, but definitely called and texted), but there was no response. Finally I threatened to take legal actions, he finally responded in November/December 2016 with a promise to correct the problem. He even asked me to count all the switches that he installed and I duly counted all of them in my unit as well as my rentals. He gave me a date, I coordinated with my tenant to make or units available for Alan and his men to come, the date came and went without Alan or his men showing up to do the work. Alan never bothered to call to let me know why he didn't show up, he just didn't! To this date, this issue has NOT been fixed by woertink electric. I don't know what else to do to get these people to do the honorable thing: fix the problem that they caused after they've taken my money. Maybe this review will save another family from getting swindled.

From the start Alan seemed to know all the fixtures available and how they work, i.e. lighting for wall art, cabinet pucks, upper cabinet, etc. When he showed up a month later to start the work, he had no idea what was going where. Disorganized, non-cooperative with the cabinet installers, did not use the raceways, pathways specially built within the cabinetry for electrical. Had to return several times for work that could have been done on one visit. All said, all the electrical does work.
