SCAM ARTIST! Came to my elderly mom's house. Claimed lightning strike and that whole panel would have to be replaced. Didn't even have a truck! Spoke with him multiple times on the phone and told him I was responsible for bill. Tried to get my mom to write a check AFTER I TOLD HIM!!! Then, pressured me to photocopy credit card, stalked me on Venmo and finally demanded $800 for his time and work. THIS...after he said I was "screwing him", that all his work is COD and after an $8,500 insurance estimate! He is a scam artist. BUYER BEWARE!

I am really sorry that I was not apart of Angie's List to dodge this bullet. The first appointment he never showed, my husband waited all day. The second appointment, he didn't have the right drill bit, he left all of his equipment here and went out to purchase a new bit. After coming back he found out that he didn't have the right anchor. He left once again and came back with the proper anchor. Finally he was ready to do the work and the battery on his drill was dead so we had to wait longer for that to happen. He ended up going to Home Depot to purchase all of the equipment. When the work was completed it actually was really well done, he was a nice guy and knew what he was doing, it is just sad that it took so long from start to finish. It started out as $119 for service call plus materials. It was $298 for the first day for no work to even have been completed. quoted over the phone: $119/hr for labor. (billed for 2 hours of labor) materials: $167 wiring/bit/tapcom screws/etc (i priced these myself on home depot and it came out $59) equipment charges: $97 (additional charges for their own unexpected mistakes) The finaly quote ended up being $799 but I only paid them $678
