Response from Palm Island Electric Inc
[member name removed], I do remember having to reschedule once, I often get overwhelmed in the fall. All I can do is apologize for that. When you don't know how long one appointment will take it makes is very difficult to make a seamless schedule with out cutting an appointment short and making 2 trips out of it. I wasn't able to quote that project with the information given, I asked your husband to send the drawing used for permitting so I could give an accurate quote and never received it. When remodeling some modifications require code updates like linkable smoke detectors which can be quite expensive (we always try to do our homework so there aren't surprises come inspection time). There can be many things that arise in remodeling an old house lead paint (requiring abatement), damaged wiring feeding circuits that were intended to be reused, the list goes on and on. Also the the city of Sarasota may have different requirements than that of Sarasota county, for example the last time I did a water heater change on the Island of Venice the plumbing contractor and electrical contractor and to pull separate permits (together it was about $200 in permit fees, plus what the contractors charge for their time to go get the permit) in Sarasota county they don't require a permit for a water heater. Then you cross another line Charlotte county has a different set of rules, so you can see how complicated something as simple as a water heater change can be to quote. I usually have more admin time on a water heater than labor. If I can do anything to better explain my position please let me know, I just wanted you to understand I only gave your husband a general price range of what to expect, I would have had to call the other contractors or the general contractor and the permitting office to be able to give a firm price, considering all I had was my notes from a brief walk through and not a refined scope of work I didn't have the information necessary to quote the project by our companies standards.

This is the second time we have used Palm Island Electric, and we have already contacted him about some other items involving electrical upgrades. Matt and his crew are thoroughly professional and competent. I have a tendency to be perfectionist and the guys at Palm Island have consistently exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Matt and his associates. They're tops.
Description of Work: Been having problems with one GFI circuit that has been resolved, had a dead wall plug which he fixed, installed motion sensor light, and installed new entry hanging light fixture.

Matt was very professional and did a thorough job of diagnosing the problem. He also gave me some options to upgrade to energy efficient lights. He worked quickly, replaced the broken parts and got the lights working again. I would definitely call Palm Island Electric for future service.
Description of Work: Some outdoor flood lights were not working. Matt came out and diagnosed the problem. The lights were repaired during the first service call.

Matt came over to my house and walk the job with me. He then came back with a quote within two days. I was pleased with the quote and asked him when he could start. He was here the following week and completed the work in two days. The next part of the work which was the breaker panel replacement was scheduled for July 2nd but because of personal issues I had to call off the work. Matt and his assistant Jeff were very professional and made sure to clean up the job site at the end of each day which included vacuuming the floor under each wall area they added receptacles or cut holes in the ceiling. I will use Matt and his company, Palm Island Electric for any future projects I have and would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone thinking about doing any electrical work in their homes.
Description of Work: I contacted Matt about changing out six can light trim fixtures in my kitchen with LED trims, replace dimmers, add receptacle and light switch in my master bathroom, run a separate circuit for the light fixture and run a common line so either light fixture can turn on the lights in the master bath, place the bathroom GFI on a separate circuit, install coach lights on my garage, replace post light fixture, replace back poach fixture and add two pendent lights in the kitchen on a separate switch. Matt also checked my smoke detectors and found that one of the detector was not working and that they were so old they would not pass code so he recommended I change them out and bring them up to code along with adding carbon dioxide and smoke detectors to the hallway near the garage entrance.I also asked Matt to give me a quote to replace my breaker panel in my garage which he did. This would have increase the total cost approximately $2000. Unfortunately I ran into some personal issues so that part of the work could not be done at this time.
