Initially we planned to take our terrible experience with Sunflake Electrical as a "life lesson" as…read morefirst time homeowners. After sharing our experience with other contractors & employees of Home Depot (just to ensure our dissatisfaction was warranted) they recommend we make our negative experience public so others don't go through the same thing. After researching on Home Advisor & seeing many positive reviews we decided to hire Sunflake Electrical to perform some basic electrical work around our home. · Main issues: o Exhaust Fan - installed but the hole was cut too large for the new fan. The electrician admitted to cutting a hole despite strategically purchasing the new fan based on existing opening size. o Kitchen Light - we did not purchase the correct light in advance & told the electrician not to proceed with installation. While at Home Depot getting other supplies he proceeded to install a non-approved light fixture, leaving us with an off centered light fixture. As the icing on the cake, we are also left with a jagged opening next to the off centered light fixture we did not choose. o Lastly, if the installation of other services would have gone smoothly, it would have also been easier to look past the mess we were left to clean up. · We shared the photos with the owner and he felt the electrical work had been done properly, and would be happy with the work in his own home. SEE PHOTOS. · We gave the owner multiple opportunities to "make this right" but his solution was for us to pay another one of his employees a flat rate of $250 to fix the two jagged holes. We are left with a jaded outlook on anyone coming to our home to complete repairs. Bottom line, avoid Sunflake Electrical! ADDITIONAL CONTEXT BASED ON OWNERS RESPONSE: Sunflake Owner: "Once the fan was completed, our electrician cleaned up the drop cloth that he had initially laid out and began cleaning the bathroom. The husband said he could clean the rest, so we proceeded to start the installation of the light." Response: Yes, the electrician laid a drop cloth on our bathroom floor that partially covered the floor (not the sink, vanity, toilet, etc.), and yes I offered to clean up the mess - the reason being, at this point the job had already taken longer than expected, and this was a matter of cost-savings. When replacing the kitchen light fixture, no drop cloth was used, and I was worried about all the debris falling into our garbage disposal, which luckily did not stop our garbage disposal from functioning properly. Sunflake Owner: "The customer asked to provide their own parts. We are totally fine with that at Sunflake." "If it had been a mistake on our part, we would have fixed the drywall no questions asked." Response: We are first time home owners, leaning on what we thought would be competent, trusted professionals to guide us in the right direction - not to receive an unfinished job and then be blamed for "our shortcomings." My wife ran to Home Depot mid-service to get additional parts for the duct work. The existing fan was already removed. She reviewed the previously purchased fan with the electrician at the start of the appointment but could have easily purchased another fan before installation. The light fixture installed was provided by Sunflake, because our two attempts to purchase something that work failed. My wife instructed the electrician to rehang the old fixture but he proceeded to install a light fixture he had on hand - which the owner also blames us for. Sunflake Owner: "Hopefully an intelligent consumer realizes the excellent value they received on this job and gives us a chance to earn their business." Response: The icing on the cake... not only does Sunflake Electrical perform an unfinished job, the owner then insults a paying customer by more or less calling us unintelligent. I truly hope that others steer clear of Sunflake Electrical, don't believe their higher ratings you see out on the internet.

Came on time, cleaned up after themselves and walked me through what they were going to do and the finished work. I tried for months to get an electrician and couldn't get any follow through.

He had great ideas for our outdoor lighting solution and did a nice job replacing our panel. About 16 months after services were performed, our outdoor photocell went bad. First attempt at contacting him was ignored, so after a week I tried again and he responded saying he'd be here on November 18th to replace the faulty photocell. He never showed up, and I have made several text and email attempts with no response. Our outdoor lights have been burning for six months now, so I will have to replace it myself. Thanks a lot, Kevin!

I have some more work I need done in the future and Kevin will be who I call! He was personable, did great at explaining things and lived up to his quoted price! WELL DONE! A++++++

Unfortunately, there was a misunderstanding in regards to establishing rapport with the company, & and an effort to resolve it respectfully (and financially). The, whom I assume is the owner, would not allow for a respectful resolution, & was condescending despite a legitimate miscommunication. I am grateful for the misunderstanding, in that it revealed who I would ultimately be giving my business to, & consider it an opportunity for someone who's character is more aligned with my own, & perhaps more deserving of the business. I'm a business owner myself, and I wouldn't have conducted myself in the manner I was faced with based on a misunderstanding- which happens in every industry (countless times in my own profession, & with other contractors I've hired)- the way I was here. Perhaps the owner was having a bad day, in which I wish him better days ahead.

Additionally when called about follow up questions he responded to our questions in hours not days. Definitely calling him back when we have more electrical work to do in the house.
