1 STAR -- EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE
I strongly recommend that other property owners and investors think twice before hiring this electrician.
I own and manage multiple properties in the Cleveland, Ohio area, and this was by far one of the worst contractor experiences I have dealt with. The biggest issue was not simply the work itself--it was the lack of professionalism, communication, and accountability
From the beginning, Kevin was rude and difficult to deal with. Despite that, I still decided to hire him and gave him the opportunity to complete the job. Unfortunately, his attitude became even worse afterward.
One specific issue involved electrical conduit/piping on the exterior side of the house. Kevin told me that he would disconnect and remove it. The conduit was originally associated with the stove outlets, which he was also supposed to address. The conduit was left in place, and after I brought it up, instead of simply acknowledging that he had forgotten to remove it, he attempted to change the story and make it seem as though I was somehow manipulating the situation.
We ultimately had to hire another electrician to finish the work that was left behind. We are also looking into disputing the difference in cost for having another electrician complete the work that we believed was included in the original job.
Another major concern was his conduct while at our property. He brought his girlfriend onto the property while working. We have exterior and interior security cameras, and we have documentation of this. Not saying that she did anything wrong, but this extremely unprofessional. We also have screenshots of our conversations that demonstrate the way he communicated with us throughout this situation. I have included some of that documentation with this review so people can judge the interaction for themselves.
I also want to make it clear that I received several calls from Kevin that I considered threatening and completely inappropriate. His communication was extremely unprofessional, and the text messages provide additional context.
Interestingly, neighbors who were observing activity around the property also independently expressed concerns to me about Kevin's behavior and their impression of him while he was at the house. One neighbor specifically told me that he did not appear trustworthy to them. I'm mentioning this because these observations came from people who had no involvement in the contractor dispute itself.
We have documentation, photographs, security-camera footage, and screenshots of the conversations. The photograph included with this review shows the conduit that was left behind.
If anyone believes this is a fake review, I am completely willing to discuss my experience and provide additional documentation where appropriate.

I have worked with numerous contractors across multiple properties in the Cleveland area. Contractors don't have to agree with every customer, but they should communicate professionally, do what they agreed to do, and take responsibility when something is missed.
Based on my experience, I would not hire this electrician again, and I would strongly encourage other property owners and investors to do their due diligence before hiring him. read more
