The original estimate, done by the father, was for a larger job but was broken down by tasks, so billing was done by the estimate. His two sons, one of which was only doing minimal assistance, did the work. When they did some rewiring, it turned out to be much easier and quicker than estimated but they did not reduce the charge for that task. Moreover, I asked them to pick up the oven where I purchased it which was 6 mi away, and they originally didn't want to do it. It is a small (24") built-in oven, and was very easy to put in their truck. They charged me $90 for the hour they took to pick it up, which apparently included time for their lunches. Not very professional.
Description of Work: Install a built-in oven and remove the old one (same size and mfr.) Move light box and install a ceiling fan Change out chandelier in the dining room

They came in and worked for about 15 minutes, then they left to go get parts and never called or came back. I've left multiple voice mails for them and they won't return my calls.
Description of Work: Hired them to come in and install two outlets. (cost listed is hourly)

Response from WELCH ELECTRIC
AT THE INITIAL ESTIMATE IT LOOKED IMPOSSIBLE. I SENT MY SON FOR A SECOND LOOK, SAID HE WAS BARELY ABLE TO SEE HOW HE COULD SQUEEZE INTO THAT ATTIC BECAUSE OF THE WAY SOMEONE PUT A SECOND FLOOR ON THIS PLACE. IT WAS A REAL MISSION IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT OPENING THE WALLS WHICH I WAS TOLD WASN'T AN OPTION. SO I HAD TO TELL THEM IT COULD TAKE ABOUT 4 OR 5 HOURS FOR TWO GUYS AT $90 AN HOUR AND IT'S A LONG SHOT. THEY CALLED US 3 OR 4 TIMES ABOUT WHEN WE COULD DO THE JOB. MY GUYS WERE GRIPPING ABOUT EVEN TRYING TO GET DONE. UPON ARRIVING THEY CARRIED THEIR GREEN TOOL BAGS TO THE SECOND FLOOR AND STARTED SCOUTING WHAT THEY HAD TO DO. THEY WERE DEALING WITH THE HUSBAND CLEARING OUT A CLOSET, WHEN THE WIFE CAME IN COMPLAINING THEY HAD PUT A RED MARK ON HER WALL, THESE GUYS HAVE BEEN IN 100S OF HOMES. THEY SAID SHE WAS SO SCARY GOING ON AND ON ABOUT THE RED MARK SO THEY PACKED UP WITHOUT STARTING THE JOB AND RAN FOR THEIR LIVES ON THE PRETENSE OFF GETTING PARTS. SO A CLOSET GOT CLEARED OUT FOR NO REASON AND THE INSULATION THAT WAS IN THEIR HAIR FROM THE ATTIC GOT ON THE FLOOR. SHE WASN'T HAPPY THAT WE WERE EVEN TRYING. THERE WASN'T GOING TO BE ANY GLORY IN PERFORMING A MIRACLE.

I was very impressed with the can-do attitude of Dean and his crew. If there is a way to get a job done, they will find it. Dean and his crew of two others arrived on time each day and cleared out by 4:00 p.m. They were quick, efficient, and professional. I found it very helpful that Dean brought to our attention strange wiring scenarios and/or code violations and offered solutions. This was a dirty wiring job in a very old house, and I am very pleased with the results. Since having the work done, we have not experienced blown fuses or smoking outlets and light switches have purpose! GOOD JOB!!
Description of Work: They replaced the circuit panel and breakers, rewired the basement and first floor circuits, ran a new conduit in the basement, installed 2 GFI outlets, wired two outlets to a wall switch, installed two exterior GFI outlets, connected indoor and outdoor porch lights to the wall switch, and hardwired the dishwasher.
