Description of Work: Changed doorbell. I told him the one he brought was too quiet. My walls are concrete! He said to give it a try. No one could hear it unless you were in the kitchen with the new bell. NO ONE. I complained and he tried one I bought at the hardware which did not ring loud enough either. I said I found a really loud one at Rolliers Hardware, but He said he would get one and be back in a week. That was two weeks ago. I have not heard from him since.

I am a little troubled by this review. I actually did this particular job myself. On February 2 I went out to this [Member Information Removed] home, her doorbell was not working. It was an old buzzer [Member Information Removed] chime. We stock Nutone products. I replaced it for her that day and installed a new transformer. She did have an issue with how loud the unit was as she is an older woman. In June she contacted us again and wanted to change it for a new one she had purchased at Rolliers hardware. When i got here is was the same exact chime i had installed for her previously. I wired it for her anyway just to show her. She agreed it was the same, i put it back in the box so she could return it and get her $59.00 refunded at Rolliers. I did not charge her anything for this visit. She wanted a buzzer [Member Information Removed] (older model) like the one she initially had and told her i would try to find one online. I ordered it last week and am waiting for it to be delivered. When i receive the new unit i will contact her to set up a install date.

Description of Work: They replaced my old, out of code panel. They gave me what I found to be a competitive quote for the service provided. They were friendly when scheduling, and the technician arrived on-time the day of the work. The technician worked the whole time he was at my home, and he finished ahead of schedule. I will use them again for future work.

Im not sure why we were graded here. This customer purchased an Angie's List big deal to replace a flood light with LED. When we got to her home to install, she was unaware of what she needed. She wanted to install new landscape lighting. We informed her that is not what she purchased but could get a refund from Angie's List and we could provide a free estimate for the landscape lights. We sent her the estimate and that was it. I'm not sure what we could have done differently on this one.

Description of Work: Upgraded the electric service to our house, including rewiring some old lines, installing some new sockets, and moving some sockets. Overall, I was very impressed with the people I interacted with. Very professional - they cleaned up well when they were done, and the work was top notch. Will definitely use them again in the future.

Description of Work: I needed electricity restored in my garage. The old cable was buried in the ground and other companies wanted to dig out the cable which would've been too expensive. This company gave me an alternative that was much better and cheaper without having to dig out my back yard. I was very satisfy with their work.

Description of Work: Very disappointed in employee who did the estimate. He knew exactly what I wanted in did not even get close. After discussions on the work he did not order the part needed and sent the electrician without proper knowledge and after he said he would be here with the electrician, he did not show up. I had to settle for what he wanted to provide not what I wanted. I should have not allowed the work to be done at all but decided that 3rd best would have to do. The electrician was good but left hand prints on the ceiling and told me I would need to get it painted. Also cut the wire to my security system. From December 22 to January 1 I was without my system working on the house. Would need a hole in the wall to find the wire and someone to fix the hole and paint my garage. They did offer to consider paying some of the cost but how much who knows. Again I had to settle for a second best, not anywhere close to what was originally in the house just to have the system working. I was not going to tear apart my wall then get it fixed and painted then find out they would not pay for any of the work or even half. I just wanted nothing to do with them and will not ever have them in my house again.

Response from CW Electrical Services INC
We are sorry this customer was not pleased with our service. The work that was asked of us to complete involved possibly making holes to run new power lines behind walls and ceiling. It was discussed beforehand and is also noted on the estimate. It is also noted on every estimate that we do not repair drywall. To be quite honest, we are not very good at repairing drywall so its best we don't get involved in that aspect. Again, we were up front with this customer and every customer about this. We did cut a security wire in the garage when removing an outlet. The security wire ran through the outlet box (its not supposed to be in the same box as power). We did offer to pay for the repairs of the security line but have not heard from the customer in regard to this item.
