Description of Work: Replaced a laundry room fixture. Not only did Jon and Jarrod do the job well but my husband leaned up against a wall and knocked a large clock off the wall with glass and metal crashing to floor. Jon and Jarrod immediately sprang into action helping clean up the mess. We were amazed and so appreciative. Thank you again.

WE HAD A GOOD EXPERIENCE WITH THIS COMPANY. AFTER OTHER COMPANIES FAILING TO CALL US BACK TIME AFTER TIME, DAVID CALLED ON A SATURDAY MORNING AND SAID HE COULD HAVE SOMEONE COME OUT AROUND 1:00 PM TO DO THE JOB. AT 1:26, I STARTED TO WONDER IF THEY WOULD SHOW AND THEN DAVID CALLED AGAIN AROUND 1:30 TO SAY THAT ONE OF HIS MEN, GARY, WOULD BE THERE IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES. THE JOB TOOK ABOUT 4 HOURS. MY HUSBAND MISCALCULATED THE TIME AND PAID HIM FOR 5 HOURS; BUT WE DIDN'T CALL THEM TO COMPLAIN...THE ADDITIONAL $75 WAS WORTH ALL THE TROUBLE WE HAD JUST GETTING SOMEONE TO DO THE WORK IN OUR TIME FRAME. GARY WAS PROFESSIONAL AND NEAT, AND I APPLAUD THE FACT HE WAS ABLE TO COME ON A VERY HOT AND HUMID SATURDAY TO GET THE JOB DONE FOR US. WE WILL DEFINITELY HIRE THEM AGAIN.
Description of Work: INSTALLED 2 RECESSED LIGHTS & NEW SWITCHES, MOVED ONE OUTLET AND RAN WIRING FOR ANOTHER NEW OUTLET.

Response from DAVID LONG ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR INC
IT IS VERY UNUSUAL FOR OUR COMPANY NOT TO RETURN CALLS. I WILL EVEN TRY TO FIND SOMEONE TO HELP CUSTOMERS OUT WHEN WE ARE BUSY. I KNOW THAT WE WERE ON VACATION DURING THIS TIME, HOWEVER, ALL CALLS ARE HANDLED BY BOTH A SECRETARY AND A TECHNICIAN. OUR MESSAGE GIVES THE CUSTOMERS THE TECHNICIAN''S DIRECT MOBILE NUMBER FOR ANY EMERGENCIES OR QUESTIONS AND THE OFFICE PHONE IS ANSWERED FROM 8AM TO 5PM. WE WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE FOR FAILING TO RETURN THIS CUSTOMER''S CALL. IF SHE WOULD LIKE TO CALL US AGAIN, WE WILL BE HAPPY TO ACCOMODATE HER. THANKS, LINDA LONG

THEY CAME AT THE TIME THEY PROMISED, AND THE ESTIMATE THOUGH WIDE, FELL IN THE MIDDLE OF WHAT WAS GIVEN. GARY AND NATE WERE CONSCIENTIOUS, AND CARED ABOUT THEIR WORK. WOULD ASK THEM TO COME BACK AGAIN TO DO MORE WORK IN THE FUTURE IF NEEDED. GARY GAVE SOME SUGGESTIONS ON HOW WE COULD INCREASE LIGHTING IN THE KITCHEN, WHICH WE WILL CONSIDER. IT WAS SURPRISING TO FIND OUT MORE OPTIONS WERE AVAILABLE IN THE KITCHEN.
Description of Work: HAD A LIST OF NINE ITEMS TO PERFORM. RAN TELEPHONE AND 2 CABLE WIRES FROM BASEMENT THROUGH SUBFLOOR. REPLACED 2 BAD LIGHT SWITCHES. ADDED TWO OUTLETS, BROKEN MOTION DETECTOR LIGHT, MORE LIGHT IN A STORAGE ROOM, OUTSIDE LIGHT TIMER, HOOKED UP DISPOSAL.

CAME OUT THE FIRST TIME AND TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS NOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE CLOTHES DRYER. THE APPLIANCE REPAIR COMPANY CAME AND CHARGED ME FOR A SERVICE CALL TO TELL ME ITS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. I CALLED LONGS AGAIN AND THEY CAME BACK AND FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT STILL CHARGED ME. NOT HAPPY ABOUT LOSS OF TIME AND MONEY.

I HAVE TO SAY THAT I WAS NOT THRILLED WITH THE QUALITY OF THE WORK DONE ON OUR HOME. WE HAVE PLASTER WALLS AND THE GUY THAT DID THE WORK LEFT THE PLASTER ALL OVER THE FLOOR OF OUR HOME, LEFT HOLES IN THE WALL TO BE FILLED, COMPLAINED THE ENTIRE TIME HE WAS HERE, PUT A SWITCH ON THE BACK WITHOUT SCREWING IT IN SO WE HAD TO GO BUY ANOTHER ONE... SLOPPY WORK FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE SPENT. I WOULD NOT CALL THEM AGAIN. I DO HAVE TO SAY THAT HE WAS VERY PUNCTUAL, BUT THAT WAS IT!
