Description of Work: Kolb removed old ceiling fixtures and replaced them with new ones. Two of the fixtures were in a bathtub and shower. They replaced these with high hat lights that they provided which were approved for water areas. But most importantly they wired the kitchen (which was set up for gas) for an electric stove. We were very pleased with the work and happy that we chose Kolb. However, Kolb does not repair drywall--which was needed because of cutting to install the electric.

Description of Work: They were supposed to be a my house between 8-12. 11:30am I called the office to find out where they were. The gal transferred me to the Dispatch who never answered. I called back and she said she could not reach them so she would walk over and call me back. Never called. I called at 11:50am and she said they were running late. I told her I agreed to an appointment time of 8-12 and not any other time. She said they would be there later (no timeframe). I told her that if they were not there by Noon they need to not show up because I would not let them in. So she canceled my appointment. Later a tech called and apologized and said they were double booked. I told him that was not my problem. He offered to make another appointment and give me a discount. I told him I didn't want to waste another 4 hours waiting for Kolb and was not interested in his discount. It did not make up for my time wasted. I called Crown Electric and made an appointment for Friday between 11-Noon and they showed up right on time and did the job to my satisfaction for an even better price than I expected. I would recommend Crown Electric.
