Chris was great in helping us get some electrical issues squared away.  We contacted 4 people, 2…read morewho were well rated on Angie's List.  Chris was the most professional of all of them, the most flexible, and had very reasonable prices.  Among everyone that visited, Chris was the person who didn't make assumptions, who checked everything, and was very happy to explain everything that he found and what had caused it to happen.   Instead of treating us as "just another dumb homeowner" he really was interested in making sure that we knew what was going on. During the trouble visit, he fixed 2 light fixtures and 2 outlets that were not functional.  He gave a great quote on correcting the wiring on a 3-way that was split between floors.  Next time I need service I'm not even going to bother calling anyone else. -Bryan & Wu Schaefer, St Louis MO 63116

We got a recommendation from a local neighborhood group for this company and saw reviews on here. I guess I should have been drawn away when the owner, Frank, called the other company that we had out for an estimate previously, idiots. I chalked it up to him being honest and older. No, it was a sign that he is unprofessional. I understand being busy, but my husband and I had to call him back to schedule times. He fumbled through a notebook to find us. This should have told us that we would not get any kind of invoice or receipt. I wrote down all that we wanted done in clear outlined details due to me being at work and my husband supervising. It was repeatedly asked for the 2 of them to keep their masks on in our basement as we didn't have airflow. My husband asked about covering some of our belongings due to them being collectable and we were told it wasn't needed, but they did indeed get dirty. A wall was mis-cut for a switch in the basement and it was not made aware, in fact Frank made a point to gloat about his expertise and what a great deal we got. There were 3 screws on the floor under a light that was put on in the wrong direction then was asked. There was debris all over the floor and our bed, pieces of wire and dust as well. 2 wires were fed into one breaker into the junction box. This is a code violation and fire hazard. Frank told my husband that the existing lights in the basement couldn't be used in our laundry room due to them being a fire hazard but when I got home he told me I could use them. I called him on that. I also asked them to please wear the masks properly the next day as we could not afford to even get the regular flu. Frank proceeded to tell his opinion on people who choose to not get the vaccine. This is unprofessional. As was arguing with his son in our home all day. I called him later that evening and told him we didn't wish for them to return to finish and asked what we owed them. He said "I guess I had that coming!" He sent Robert to get the check and he apologized for his father's behavior stating he was "old, didn't know when to shut-up and was about 1 year from retiring". Still unprofessional. When I called another licensed, bonded and insured company with professionals who insist on wearing masks, booties, clean appearance, manners and write up proposals, they stated that the wires in the breaker box were not to code and had to be fixed 1st. I called Frank and he became agitated and rude. He said the company didn't know what they were talking about. He didn't know who they were. I refused to give the name, not his business. He said he did professional work and that I got a great deal. He told me it didn't matter, he knows everyone. He told me to stop harassing him and get a lawyer. I called him right back. I told him I would like a couple hundred dollars refund for the cut marks he left in the wall that will be difficult to fix and the breaker box. He said I was "way off he mark". He told me to have the other company call him and he could tell them how to do it for $20. I told him he was unprofessional and hung up. I never mentioned a lawyer. I just wanted some funds back since I was having to fix something that he did incorrectly as well as he made unprofessional mistakes on my wall. Please stay away from this company!

I had a survey appointment scheduled for 8am or some time after with intent to install eight light fixtures with alumni-con connectors. Their technician arrived exactly at 10am, 2 hours after my expectation, and something most people would agree was already late. While I was advised in advance that the technician may not be there right at 8am, and their office did call me to say Shane their tech was running late, consider how precious time is to a customer, and especially for a customer who has to take a day off from work for the scheduled inspection and potential iob. I am a retired service member who spent 22 years showing up to work daily on time. Timeliness is the hallmark of an effective organization and is what traditionally has made this country great. It is a major turnoff for me to be 2 hours late. I was also expecting the job to be fulfilled same day as I reasonably believe most proficient electricians could get my job of 8 fixtures done in a day if they showed up early. I even offered to help take down the light fixtures if that would make the job go by faster. I was told by Shane, their technician, BRDA would most likely have to come back another day to complete the job. In addition, they wanted over $3,000 to change 8 light fixtures, which did include relocating two bathroom fixtures by about two feet, which i consider high. I was previously quoted $940 for the same job by another certified electrician m. The cost for the Brda survey was $99 which is reasonable, but the guy spent no more than 40 mins at my place and didn't do anything except take a few pics and make what I feel is an overpriced survey. The previous $940 quote I received from another company was given for free. This aside, Shane was professional and friendly and so was Jason and Erica. Be on time, I cannot stress how much people value this. Based on the late arrival and their high price, I declined their services and admit my experience may be a one off given all the other great reviews . However, a customer does have to wonder how one licensed company can quote $940 and another licensed company quotes the same work for over $3k, a 2k difference! I did my own math on this. A $3,000 quote breaks down to approximately $350 in parts and $2,650 in labor, implying an effective rate of $220-$330 per hour. Ridiculous pricing!
