After getting their estimate it took over a month to get the work done. I had asked that they not show until 10 AM, then them still wanted to be here by 8AM or 9AM at the latest, I agreed to their normal 8AM start time to have them get in out so I could take a nap before my late work shift, they still didn't show until 10AM, without letting me know. They said it would take about 4 hours and it took closer to 6, but that was fine, just a note to let people know. It cost $1600 to put in a new subpanel in our garage and the wiring back to the main box and then put in two ground rods for the subpanel. They estimated rearranging circuit breakers in our main panel, but didn't have to do that, surprise. They did say they would have to put in the grounding rods, but I had asked about them and then they placed them without consulting me and I wasn't at all happy about the placement. They took up a couple of pavers next to the garage to place the grounding rods and said they needed to leave them exposed for the inspector, so that meant we would have to replace the pavers even thought with the wire they put in the pavers weren't going to fit without having to do some modifying, one reason I wasn't happy about the placement. Also they had to come into the house and it had rained and there was debris on the driveway and they didn't put anything down on the carpet, so they ended up tracking dirt and debris onto our lighter colored carpet. The other work they did looked good, but they drilled a hole thru out cement wall to feed new wire for the subpanel and just left the rough hole bare after they placed the conduit for the wire, leaving a hole into the main panel and therefore part of the house. Well the work didn't pass inspection the first time, they had to come out and float the ground wire in the subpanel. Again, Jimmy said he would be here about 4PM and showed up 45 minutes late, no notification, it took awhile to get the work done but it passed inspection. On the second trip Jimmy caulked the hole in the cement wall, but didn't touch the pavers so we will still have to deal with them. But so far no issues with the electrical and the work looks good, but I can't give them good marks for customer service or punctuality.
They were awesome. Beat the other quotes by a landslide. I will recommend them to friends and use there services for future work. Thank you.
Father-son team who were straightforward, began on time, finished on time and the work passed the inspection easily. Their price was in the middle of the range of bids. I recommend them highly.
Great people to work with. Specked out a one day job to replace our service box, and correct a couple of minor problems we had. They stayed until all the work was done and left everything clean.
Our brand new fridge wouldn't work for 7 months but they figured out the problem and put in a new breaker and fuse box and the problem is fixed.
