I purchased the Angie's List deal to have 4 recessed lights installed. This deal was pre-paid before the time of service. The work went fine and the two techs encountered no problems. At no point did either tech mention that the scope of the project would require additional charges. On an Angie's List 'special' for $299.00, I then received an invoice from the company the following day for an another $175.00. I read the agreement that stated additional charges may apply. However I certainly should have been informed of these charges before the work was completed. I never agreed to these charges, and had I been informed, I would have refused the work and some other arrangement could have been made. There is no mention of the additional charge anywhere on their paperwork either - the invoice written at the time of the work states the price as $299.00 and paid in full. To spring a surprise bill on me, without informing me first, without getting my consent, is an extremely shabby way to treat a customer.

Response from Bailey & Shipp Electric
We are very sorry to hear that you were not please with our business practices. We do hundreds of Angie's List deals for recess lighting annually and all of our Angie's list deals specifically provide a list the terms and conditions. In your situation it stated that additional fees would incur if additional wiring was necessary. Our schedulers also reiterate this to customers at the time they are scheduled. We are not here to try and "trick" anyone. If there is not wiring that is existing in a ceiling where you would like new lights installed, that would be the reason for the additional charges. You did not have existing lighting or circuitry in the area that we were installing the recess fixtures.

I made an appointment with Baily & Shipp Electric to have my generator serviced and their technician Joseth (spelling from his phone ID) showed up right on time and went right to work. He was able to identify the problems, get the generator working while replacement parts were ordered and left everything clean. He returned in a few days - which was sooner than expected - and finished the work. The part turned out to be under warranty and the original battery was recharged so I paid much less than I might have. The work was done quickly and professionally and I am very pleased with how everything was handled. The generator was also serviced and I will have Baily & Shipp back next year and thereafter for check-ups and servicing.
Description of Work: A two year old generator failed to self-test on schedule. Upon examination it was not showing anything on the display. I had learned to do a manual reset when the self-test did not happen but I had not seen this before. I needed a knowledgeable professional to check the generator and put it back in working order and perform whatever service was due. The original installer was not an option.

Lighting was all installed and looks fine, but I wasn't thrilled with the sales tactic of trying to upsell me on LED lights after the standard ones were put in, and when the price seemed negotiable, it made me question the legitimacy of the company.

[Member Name Removed], I understand where you are coming from, but this is not a sales tactic only to suggest, this why we are there as the cost is cheaper than if we had to come out and install them by themselves. Many customers prefer the standard recessed lights for many reason some just to keep everything consistent. Our technicians are not sale people they just recommend if they see something that could benefit you. I'm glad the service you had with us was great and we look forward to taking care of any electrical need you may have in the future. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me directly and I would be happy to address you concern. Thanks Jamie Jamie@needelectric.com

Both jobs were professionally done. I want to take this opportunity to express my appreciation and commend Baily and Shipp for providing prompt and excellent service. Everyone associated with the company was conscientious, cooperative and diligently contribute to the success of these two projects. Their efforts were greatly appreciated. Anyone considering using Baily & Shipp for their electrical needs has my most enthusiastic recommendation.

I had contacted three electricians. One needed more than a week just to come out to do a free estimate. One said he'd get back to me but didn't. Then there was Bailey & Shipp. I got a call back within a few hours after submitting a request on their website. A day or two after that someone came out for the estimate, and a few days after that someone came out to perform the work. Very painless. The gentleman who came out did a great job.

Professionalism all the way. Punctual and polite. But the special was for $99 for a recessed light. In my case, it was for plaster. That ran more money, and then to add a switch was more as well. In the end, it was $300, not $99, and later on, I had to go back and add some patching material because they didn't finish the job themselves. I guess this wasn't part of it the job, to caulk around the edges of the recessed light.
