Tomasz Wroblewski

Complaint against Tomasz Wroblewski, Electrical Contractor: The nature of the assignment: finish electrical work on an accessory building on my residential property to include plugs, switches, a separate circuit for two 220v lines, and general work to complete all electrical needs for the site. Tomasz was hired on a referral after a different electrical contractor was unable to finish work on my site. The previous provider had done no work from Thanksgiving 2010 until the end of February 2011, so when Tomasz was hired on about March 10, I wished to have work completed in a timely manner, but did not impose a deadline. He agreed verbally to finish the job. And that?s when the delays started. He told me day after day he would be there to complete work, then call the day he was expected with an excuse for why he couldn?t work. This continued for about 3 weeks. He did actually appear to work twice, when he worked for a few hours, plus one brief morning appearance to install conduit. He was paid twice, for a total of about $2000. The scope of the work for which Tomasz was hired (part of which was to complete a radiant heat system) involved 3 other suppliers (for whom I was responsible, not Tomasz): a plumber, a carpenter, and a propane company. None could complete their work until the electrical work was done. Nor could I complete such tasks as insulating and finishing the walls. Tomasz had his own deadline to complete work by April 12, because his family was going on vacation on April 13. After some earlier delays, work on the week of April 4 was postponed by Tomasz each day. This caused tension for me as the property owner because I knew if work was not done by April 12, there could be a delay of yet another month (presuming I would continue to use Tomasz, which, of course, I will not)-- not acceptable, since I need the work done in order to be able to earn a living. He said he?d be here Wednesday, April 6, then Thursday, then Friday, Monday and Tuesday. Each day he failed to appear until he finally said on Tuesday, April 12 that there was a problem with his vacation and he needed that day to fix it -- hardly what a client wants to hear. That brings it to today, April 13. The electrical work is far from complete. I have no heat in the building. In fact, not a single room in this assignment is fully functioning electrically, after two work days by Tomasz plus one short morning appearance to install a length of conduit. Because so little is functioning, I can?t attest to the quality of the work. Actually, the electrical work done before Tomasz appeared functioned more than after he left: there are several plugs and lights that worked before he first came, but no longer work.
