He did a nice job. The cost was reasonable at the time because he totally took off the electric meter, put in all new gadgets there, run the electrical line into my garage. He put a pipe in up over my ceiling in the garage to the new electrical box and reconnected all the electrical boxes. It was not that much money either. I would tell a friend to use them. Actually, I just talked to the guy the other day because I had a question for him because half of my lights were on and half were not on. So, he at least called me back to explain to me what was going on.
Description of Work: When I first move here, I used Kal Electric. He rewired my entire electrical box.

I called and left a message on his voice mail which he returned later that same day. We discussed what I had in mind and he promised and estimate for me in about a week or so. After not hearing from him for approximately 10 days, I left another message on his voice mail inquiring about the estimate. Here it is five days later and still no response. He must have "bigger fish to fry". He is not the first contractor that I have contacted who made a promise and then did not respond. What is so hard about being honest and saying either you are not interested or too busy? This is not a good way to run a business.
Description of Work: Has not responded as he said that he would.

I didn't hear back from him for seven days. I called them and told him on the phone that I have used Kal electric in the past and really liked the gentleman and I told him I was very disappointed. He said he was having some sort of phone problems. In the past he did a wonderful job and was very nice. He was very personable, honest, punctual and polite. I wouldn't use them again.
Description of Work: I called Kal Electric recently for quotation. I didn't hear back from him for seven days. I have used them 12 years ago previously. At that time he did a re-wiring total upgrade of electric panel.
