The company rep. was on time and very professional when he came to look at our project. He spent about 25 minutes going over the plans, asking questions and so on. When we received his quote, we thought he must have been mistaken on his price. His quote was $10,000 HIGHER than the 3 other quotes we had received. We called to ask who figured the job, if the prices seemed high to them and if they had been hearing from other customers that their prices were a lot higher than others. They said they were surprised that we found their quote high and had never heard that from anyone else. We had quotes from one other Angie's List electricians, and two other well known companies in the area. We still don't understand a $10,000 price difference for the same work performed.
Description of Work: Quoted on an addition/remodel.

THIS WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE FROM START TO FINISH. THE PERSON WHO ANSWERED THE PHONE WAS POLITE, AND INFORMATIVE. RICK SHOWED UP AT 7:30 (ON TIME), VERY COURTEOUS AND KNOWLEDGEABLE. I LEFT TO GO TO WORK. AFTER HE CHECKED OUT THE CRAWL SPACE AND THE ROOF, AND BEFORE HE STARTED THE JOB HE CALLED TO LET ME KNOW THAT BECAUSE OF EXISTING CONDITIONS HE WOULD ADVISE ME TO MODIFY MY PLAN. WHEN I RETURNED HOME THE LIGHT/EXHAUST FAN WAS INSTALLED JUST WHERE I HAD WANTED IT, AND HE HAD LEFT EVERYTHING CLEAN AND TIDY. I WILL CALL ON THEM AGAIN. I AM A VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER.
Description of Work: REMOVED OLD BATHROOM LIGHT FIXTURE, REPLACED IT WITH A NEW CEILING LIGHT WITH AN EXHAUST FAN AND REPLACED THE ELECTRICAL SWITCH.

WE NEEDED THIS DONE IN ORDER TO GET OUR KITCHEN FUNCTIONAL. JUDY SCHEDULED SOMEONE TO COME TO OUR HOUSE THE NEXT DAY EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE FULLY BOOKED FOR AT LEAST A WEEK. AS AN ANGIE'S LIST MEMBER, WE HAD THE SERVICE FEE WAIVED. WE WERE CHARGED FOR TRAVEL TIME FROM DOWNTOWN TO THE NORTH SIDE (1 HOUR) BUT JUDY AGREED TO REVERSE THIS. GEORGE FOUND THE SHORT CAUSING PROBLEMS WITH THE CEILING FAN IN THE MASTER BATH AND OUR ATTIC LIGHTS. HE INSTALLED THE PLUG-IN, KILL SWITCH AND CORRECTED THE SHORT IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER. HE EVEN PULLED A COUPLE OF FISH EYE LIGHTS TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE NOT CAUSING A PROBLEM. GEORGE DID ALL THAT WAS ASKED. THE ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT EVEN THOUGH HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN WHAT WAS NEEDED FOR THE KILL SWITCH AND PLUG-IN, HE MADE NUMEROUS TRIPS OUT TO HIS TRUCK TO GET PARTS AND PAUSED TO SMOKE. HE WAS ON SITE 4.5 HOURS. IN SUMMARY, THEY SOLVED OUR PROBLEMS WITHIN A DAY OF OUR CALL BUT TOO MUCH TIME WAS TAKEN ON STANDARD ITEMS LIKE A KILL SWITCH AND PLUG-IN.
Description of Work: ADDED PLUG-IN FOR GARBAGE DISPOSAL AND KILL SWITCH FOR DISHWASHER UNDER THE KITCHEN SINK. LOCATE A SHORT CAUSING BATHROOM CEILING FAN AND SOME LIGHTS TO NOT WORK.

I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE WORK AND HELP THAT LEE GAVE ME IN PURCHASING NECESSARY ITEMS. THE COMPANY DOES NOT GIVE QUOTES FOR JOBS LESS THAN $1000 AND WHEN THE ELECTRICIAN CAME IN TO CHECK OUT THE WORK HE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE ABOUT 6 HOURS. IT ACTUALLY TOOK 11. SO THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT COST DIFFERENCE. OVERALL, THOUGH, THE END PRICE WAS LESS THAN A QUOTE I HAD RECEIVED FROM ANOTHER CONTRACTOR.
Description of Work: DID ROUGH-IN WORK FOR BASEMENT FINISHING. INSTALLED 5 CAN LIGHTS, 5 OUTLETS & NECESSARY NEW CIRCUITS.
