MODERN ELECTRIC

I mentioned some additional work I wanted done and he didn't give me an estimate. I returned home and the additional work was completed prior to finishing the work that he was contracted to do. The following day he had many wires hanging from the kitchen ceiling (looked unsafe) and he presented me with a change order and pretty much demanded I pay him whatever was written on the change order. In order to keep harmony and have the original work completed; I signed the change order. He's prices were extremely high for the work on the change order. In fact, if he would have told me how much he was going to charge for the additional work I wouldn't have had it done. He kept mentioning that if he doesn't receive payment; he will put a lien on my property. He didn't show up on schedule days to complete the work. He would leave early claiming family emergency and accidentally sent pictures from another job. The original contract stated balance of payment was due at the completion of the project. Prior to completing the project he wanted a progress payment totaling 95%. I referred him to the contract wording and he started yelling at me (very scary), Later he apologized saying he couldn't make his mortgage payment on time and had to pay a $50 late fee. Also, he told me he couldn't immediately fine a matching baseboard (part of the original contract ) and charged an additional $50 dollars for time spent looking for it. I pay the additional $50 because I didn't want him to yell at me again.

It turned out very well. I'd recommend them. I have used them before.

I had been quoted over $1000 by my contractor to break walls, install a new electrical panel, etc...none of which was necessary, according to Modern Electric. And they were right! The electrician who came out was punctual, polite, and professional. He knew what he was doing and immediately knew how to fix the problem. The problem was that I had to call him back three times to fix things that were a result of not paying attention to details. The electrical molding was installed lopsided (which aesthetically takes away from a $10K remodel), and I had to have him come and fix it. Then I discovered that an outlet that had been working no longer worked after his work was done, so I had to call him AGAIN to fix that. These were minor issues, all things considered, but it took three afternoons plus the initial consultation in all. However, he was VERY apologetic, and was more than willing to come out and fix these problems asap. And of course, at no extra charge. Ultimately, the work was done and everything works now. I think it's a bit pricey for what it was, but WAY cheaper than what I was quoted by the contractor...and a lot less of a headache. I am also aware that I am paying for someone who is licensed and has experience, so I expected it. These folks do know what they are doing. All things considered, I trust them. And this is worth its weight in gold.

They were punctual, easy to deal with and did the work perfectly. We were very happy with their work.
