Irv arrived late. He went through the house with me taking notes for a little over 1 and 1/2 hours. We kept getting interrupted by his cell phone ringing (he'd take the calls at 5 minutes + each while my toddler and I were standing there waiting, and I could hear people on the other end of the phone asking him where he was, why didn't he come back yesterday as promised, etc...). After he arrived late, kept taking phone calls, and the estimate came in later than promised at over $10K, we decided to use another more attentive company.
Description of Work: Got an estimate from them, but we chose to use another company. Irv's estimate was $4,000 over the other contractor.

Response from BINDER ELECTRIC
I CALLED THE MEMBER TO TELL HER WE WERE RUNNING LATE, I TOOK TIME AND WENT THROUGH HER HOME AND EXPLAINED TO HER WHAT WORK I THOUGHT SHE NEEDED TO HAVE DONE,(ESTIMATES ARE FREE)I SPENT 2 1/2 HOURS OF MY TIME WITH TRAVEL, LAYING OUT HER JOB. I DID RECEIVED (2) PHONE CALLS WHILE AT HER HOME, THEY WERE FROM ONE OF MY EMPLOYEES TELLING ME THAT THE LOCK BOX NUMBER TO GAIN ACCESS TO ONE OF OUR JOBS WAS WRONG. I HAD A MAN STANDING OUTSIDE A JOB, I HAD MAKE SURE HE WAS ABLE TO GAIN ACCESS. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY SHE WOULD HAVE WANTED TO LISTEN TO MY CONVERSATION WITH MY EMPLOYEE, I HAD A HARD ENOUGH TIME HEARING HIM OVER HER TODDLER. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN A THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO HELP HER TO LAYOUT HER JOB. I HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR OVER 25 YEARS, I TAKE PRIDE IN GIVING MY CUSTOMERS HONEST AND AFFORDABLE SERVICE. OUR PRICES ARE ALWAYS COMPETITIVE. I WISH HER WELL AND I HOPE THE HER JOB TURNED OUT OK.

I was having a problem with my fuse box and called to see if Binder Electric could come out. Irv was very friendly and suggested I try something while on the phone with him and it worked. It saved me a service call fee, and I'll definitely use them next time I need electrical work.
Description of Work: Work was done over the phone and not at my house.

My overall experience with Binder Electric is very positive. They did a very good job, and they always tried to make sure the job met the standards we agreed upon. They fixed other odd things around the house while they were there. Quality work, Fair price, made sure I was satisfied, and fixed other things while they were at it. Great. They initially were very prompt and responsive, which was very important in the timing of our kitchen remake. When coming back to make changes and complete the finishing touches, communication slowed. Phone calls took longer to get answered and appts were harder to make. But the job got done and the end result is very good. Irv is a good person to work with. Highly recommended.
Description of Work: They added GFI outlets to kitchen counters, relocated outlets for appliances, wired outlets for a new kitchen island, wired and installed undercabinet track lights, added a dishwasher shut-off, added new ceiling recessed lights, installed pendant hanging lights, changed outlet and lighting fixtures, and basically handled the electrical for a kitchen remake. While they were there, they changed a dining room chandelier, fixed a doorbell, and inspected a garage door opener.
