They falsely advertise. Before they even heard our problem, they wanted our credit card number to charge $695.00 to have someone a**** the problem, despite the fact their page states they do free estimate. When we brought that to their attention we were quickly disregarded. We will never do business with them or recommend.

Description of Work: Moved old circuit breakers into a a new circuit breaker box from a closet to a entryway wall. They found some lines from the apartment above ours in a hidden second riser in the walls and removed those. The initial estimate covered all of the work.

I called Kand G to have an electrician evaluate and repair several persistent problems in my apartment prior to subletting it. Another electrician had submitted an estimate, but I wanted to see if Kand G, recommended by my super, could do better and come in sooner. The dispatcher took my credit card information before sending out an electrician, but booked me promptly, and an electrician showed up right on time and completed the work in less than an hour. He was prompt; focused; polite; intelligent; and professional. His bill came to about 1/5th of the other electrician's estimate. I was extremely happy with Kand G and will use them in the future. Highly recommended.
Description of Work: Evaluate and repair intermittent lighting in bathroom; troubleshoot issues in pre-war fuse box; evaluate power load in general and recommend solutions for an eventual upgrade.

Excellent! He showed up promptly, did a thorough job (checking every outlet and switch), let me know what was going on, did a quick repair on one outlet. Although this work was done on an hourly rate (instead of a job quote), he didn't try to drag out the time at all. Very professional, overall.
Description of Work: To go over issues listed in inspection report of the apartment I bought and was about to move into.

Terrific -- no problems.
Description of Work: Installed a few new outlets, in bathroom, etc. Changed lighting fixture. Excellent professional work, including providing the paper work/satisfying co-op requirements. The company's owner was reponsive, flexible and fair. The crew was very efficient and helpful beyond the call of duty. Paid a little bit more but clearly worth it. No "contractor headaches" with these guys.

I think they were extremely professional. They were careful about hanging plastic so dust wouldn't go to other areas of the house. They did an excellent job hanging a complex fixture. They are very polite and office staff was very helpful. Each time they came on time and kept me fully informed on what work was going on.
Description of Work: I hired them to move an electrical box for a ceiling light and to hang and install ceiling light.

My husband and I checked by turning off everything in the apt. and deduced it was the baseboard heater causing the problem. I called our bldg. Mgmt. Told me to call K&G. Right away, they wanted a credit card number, code on back, etc. before an appointment was even made so they could charge $175 an hour (no partial hours, $175 minimum). I made an appointment. They sent a 'mechanic'. The guy came and was the least charming least communicative individual I ever met, he tore apart our wall unit (where we have electrical outlets my husband, a former electrical from Switzerland, installed.) He tore up all of the wiring, cut cords, etc. and handed me a cord he had cut from inside the unit. He disconnected the whole thing and then notified me that we would have to tear down the built in wall unit to reinstall. The fuse box was an afterthought, though I told him the problem was the fuse box and the heating unit. I asked could he fix it, he said no, not allowed to.
Description of Work: Fuse box was buzzing on our co-op and felt hot. Called them in to assess and they came in for $175 an hour. He tore everything apart and left everything disconnected and in shambles. Didn't even check the fuse box until he was on his way out and I asked him to, though I told him that that was the problem. Been trying contact them to get them to come back to repair. Can only get answering services and the only thing they know is to how to ask for a credit card. They wanted to charge ANOTHER $480 an hour to come back and repair what they tore apart and never fixed. ('Mechanic' who they told me was a licensed electrician said he wasn't allowed to.)

The work could not be started due to the building management's requirement of a copy of the electrical license. The survey ratings are for jobs previously completed by this contractor from 1998 through 2002.
Description of Work: The company submitted a proposal and insurance certificate to me and the managing agent of my co-op, however, the agent also required a copy of their electrical license that the company was unwilling to do (according to law). I used this company before and they were professional and thorough, although being on site when the work was being done was important to obtain exactly what I wanted. We did not proceed with this portion of our renovations.
