Response from Custom Electric & Plumbing Inc
Thank you for allowing us to provide electric and plumbing services to you at your home. We were surprised to receive a poor rating, so we reached out over the phone. It was a pleasure speaking with you after reading your review and rating. I understand your reasoning more after we discussed it and we would like to share it with the community. When we asked : How did the service go? Response - You guys did fine. When we asked : How about the price? Response - It was more than we discussed on the phone, but we did request to have some additional items done so I guess it makes sense. When we asked : What we could do better, given this low rating? This was the response - God gets an "A" Shakespeare get a "[Member Information Removed]" And if you work hard you get a "C" From this experience, we understand that all people are individuals with unique perspectives! Thank you for allowing us to provide electric and plumbing services to you at your home. -Chris

Response from Custom Electric & Plumbing Inc
Many clients call us to assess and correct missing ground issues. We find everything from poor electrical connections at outlets to missing/corroded connectors or missing wires all together. Grounds keep us safe in the event of a short circuit. The ground wiring gives electricity the most effect way to return to the service panel. Current flows from the panel to the outlet or fixture to make it work. The neutral wire (white) is the return path for left over, unused current. The ground wire is an additional path for electrical current to return safely to the earth without anyone getting shocked or electrocuted in the event of a SHORT circuit. In that instant, the short would cause the current to flow through the ground wire, causing a circuit breaker to trip or a fuse to blow. The fuse or circuit breaker can only work properly with a completed path for the current. Don't just let it go, make it right and keep your family safe. Thank you for asking us into your home to make these corrections to keep your family safe. -Chris

About once a week we find an incorrectly wired 3 way switch circuit. It can take some time to sort out what the last guy did wrong to cause the malfunction and get it rewired correctly, but we insist on doing it right. Thank you for allowing us to correct your dimmer circuit and remove the broken light bulb. Custom Electric of NC, Inc. strives to respond quickly to your call for assistance and provide quality service. We appreciate your continued support. -Chris

ceiling fans, electrician

Description of Work: Installed 2 ceiling fans. Did not have overhead lights but already had switches on the wall to control receptacles, wanted to cut a hole in the wall to run the wire overhead. I was going to have to patch the sheet rock and paint it until Robert told the other guy that he could do it without cutting the wall! Purchased Angies list deal for $160. When I called to schedule, they told me it would be $320 to install a fan where there is no overhead light. They agreed to do 2 of them for $295 each. $590 is too much for 4 hours of work! Then I found that one of the fans was not installed correctly, had messed up the sheet rock in the ceiling around it, and the screws holding it up were not even tight, it was just dangling! I was disappointed in the job!

This client called to have 2 ceiling fans, ceiling boxes, and switches installed in his home where no lights currently existed in 2 bedrooms. We gave him our discounted flat rate pricing for this job of $295 each since he wanted 2 fans done at the same time over the phone. He Agreed and we scheduled the work. The home owner asked how long the work would take and we told him one electrician all day or I could send 2 electricians and get it done in 1/2 a day. His schedule was tight so we scheduled 2 electricians. They showed up on time discussed the best way to get the work completed (which included discussion of cutting drywall and ways to avoid it). The 2 technicians used $125 in parts, 150 city permit fee, and spent a total of 9 man hours on site. With the discounted price and these costs the average hourly rate paid comes to $35 per hour per electrician. Our normal hourly rate is $90 per electrician. This translates to a great deal for the home owner in this case utilizing flat rate billing. When the guys left the home both fans were running and the client said they looked beautiful. I made a follow up call about 10 days later to check on the service and the client had no complaints. After reading this review I called the home owner to discuss and found that currently there were no repairs needed to be done, as he had tightened the trim ring on one of the fans. We strive to provide high quality service at a fair price. If you find a problem after we leave...call me...we will make it right. -Chris

I called in the morning and asked if I could get service that day. Chris obliged and met me that afternoon to inspect the electrical situation with tripped breaker. I also asked for a light switch to be replaced that I knew was a problem. I also had a switch installed for a pullstring light and 2 GFCI outlets installed. All that same afternoon. He was quick, courteous and provided me with written explanation about the breaker box. Very pleased.

Our experience with Chris was fantastic. He was prompt, professional, and eager to help us. In addition to providing high quality work at a very reasonable price, he was more than willing to take the time to answer our questions in detail. He and his assistant completed the work in a timely fashion and were very concerned with cleaning up after the repairs were complete. We will only use him going forward!

I was skeptical as to whether I could have this work accomplished with minimal disruption. I am having cabinets installed in my Laundry Room and thought it would be advantageous to have an outlet on the wall above the countertop. I talked with Chris about my options, cost involved and timeframe for completion. He was extremely professional, told me what the job would entail and quoted me a price. I was amazed that the work was performed in less than two hours and the price was as quoted. I had just painted the Laundry Room wall, and Chris and his assistant were so meticulous that I did not even have any touch up painting to do after the project. Not only were they professional and knowledgeable, but they also cleaned up some insulation that had fallen from the attic area. I contacted Custom Electric on a Big Dean event. This was definitely a great deal, and not only would I use this company again, but I highly recommend them to others.

Chris and his assistant arrived on time, provided a fair estimate, and worked efficiently and thoroughly. They took pains to meet our expectations and completely cleaned up afterward. They were smart and friendly. They were working for six hours, but only had to turn off the power to one circuit in the house, and even that was only off for 5 minutes! Previous electricians were not as expert (the power had to be turned off for hours). You won't be disappointed if you hire Custom Electric!

This company is extremely reliable and professional, and does excellent work that is reasonably priced. Chris has at times come up with very creative and cost-effective solutions to problems in our home to help ease the financial strain of repairing an older and poorly maintained house. One example of this dealt with cracks in some tiles in our kitchen floor. Apparently the floor was not laid properly and there was an uneven area below a certain section of tiles. Because the floor was laid many years ago we were unable to find a close match to the pattern and color of the tiles. Instead of having to replace the entire floor, Chris removed the tiles from the effected area and laid a very beautiful design using wood flooring (that matched our kitchen cabinets and wood floors in adjoining rooms). He used a different type of grout to give more flexibility to that area because the floor was uneven, and it has worked out wonderfully and we have had no further cracking in the kitchen floor. People often comment on how beautiful the wood design is in our tile floor, and can't believe that was done to repair a problem with the floor!!! This is just one example of many that illustrates the exceptional work done by this company, and the personalized service you receive. I trust Custom Construction with any type of work that needs to be done- and have never had any problems or complaints. I give this company my HIGHEST recommendation for quality work and exceptional customer service!!!
Description of Work: The most recent work done was electrical work throughout the house with new circuits and creating an electrical access in a vaulted ceiling for a fan. Chris (the owner, along with various co-workers) has done extensive work throughout our house over the past few years which has included everything from additions, renovations, and both minor and major repairs.
This contractor is by far the best contractor I have ever worked with.....they do the job, when they say they will with professionalism and excellent quality. The owner Chris Samson is very personable and tremendously helpful in finding creative ways to get the job done for the least amount of money. I highly recommend using this company and will continue to use them for all repair and renovation projects.
Description of Work: I have had custom construction do many projects for me....from adding a screened in porch to roofing, electrical, plumbing, flooring etc.
