Terrible… Jim took advantage of my 90 year old mother and overcharged her by 5 thousand dollars, and lied about the work they performed. He came to the house unsolicited and told my mother a bunch of lies. Not to be trusted.
Description of Work: No work was needed. Jim lied about what was needed.

since this electrician was on the Indiana border and I am on the Missouri border. I did not hire them. thought the service call might be a bit steep. Angie's List needs a map.

You recommended a company on the other side of the state so I don't think much about the company or you.
