C.A.V Electric Inc.

We hired Carlos Jr. and his team (his father and another worker) to rewire our entire apartment during a gut renovation. The job started very smoothly and finished work looked great, but communication was difficult with many unanswered phone calls and repeated follow up to get answers. We ended up purchasing smart lighting switches on our own since pricing quotes we got were more expensive from CAV, and Carlos was not familiar with these products and was unable to properly install. We ended up with some smart lights and some regular lights and the locations of lights was not 100% what we drew on our plans or what was agreed to. Carlos Sr. and their other worker (coincidentally also Carlos) were always great to deal with and did very good work throughout the job. Towards the end of the project when all the other trades were finished and the construction was just about done, I was given an ultimatum to pay the final amount due by Carlos Jr, even though the job was not yet complete (I had paid 75% to date including several thousands of add on costs which were never fully justified). In an effort to appease the electricians, we reluctantly agreed to a final number and sent payment immediately. This was the LAST TIME I ever heard back from Carlos even though the job was not completed. Our tv sensors do not work properly, and our thermostat is not wired correctly and needs to be rewired and replaced. I left voicemails, emails and text messages to no avail until my contractor got in touch and found out he was unhappy with the final agreed upon payment that was made. I will never recommend or use him again and would recommend that others beware before proceeding with a company like this.

Carlos gave a competitive quote, and his team (his dad who is also Carlos, and another worker whose name - you won't believe it - is also named Carlos) came and did the job in a timely and quality fashion. I usually do not write these reviews but these guys deserve publicity. They are good at what they do, quick, punctual, and professional.

These guys are a class act, on time, organized, up to code and worked flawlessly. My recommendations don't come lightly. Work passed electrical inspection in Nutley with no issues. Electrical work isn't cheap. Their prices were reasonable, quality team. Very impressed and I will hire them again.
