He said the job would take 5 hours and he would have to break the wall in my dining room to run the line which would cost $1350 plus an initial $175 consultation fee and said 1/2 the funds were due upfront so I paid him $700. Upon consultation, he noted there was an electrical box already sitting 2ft from the outlet and said if I can run a line from this box to the outlet I will only charge $175 consultation fee since there's not much work involved. He returned with a worker and was able to connect to the box next to the outlet, it took him a little over an hour to TRACE the line from the basement to the box, without have to break walls and run a hard line from the basement. He then charged me $905 and ended up requesting an I became upset. This is not what he promise. I asked him for a breakdown of what he's charging for, he said he charges for a minimum of 2.5 hours plus he needed an extra man (which he also charged for) for the job so the work was shared and both of them had to be paid and he's charging for materials?!?? There were no materials involved except that he relaxed the sockets. I did not pay him the extra $205 because to run a simple electrical line from a nearby box to an outlet does not cost $700! DO NOT pay the contractors any monies upfront. If they are legit and have a business, they should have the funds to cover the job and collect after the work is finished.

I'm really happy with Casey's work! I hired him to install new light fixtures in my living room and…read morebedroom, and he also replaced the existing lights with energy-efficient LED lights in my entryway and closet. The transformation they brought to my apartment is incredible! Casey went above and beyond by returning to fix a crooked light fixture and adjusting the dimmer switch to perfection. I highly recommend his installation services--they truly make a difference!

I was nervous about the sheetrock/ceiling damage that might be required and assumed they would use conduit in the garage. To my great surprise they were able to install all the wiring inside the walls, with no conduit needed and minimal cutting of sheetrock, which they patched. I couldn't be happier with the job they did, exceeded my expectations and it was done at a very reasonable price as I had several quotes for the job. Would definitely use them again and have recommended them to friends.

A master mechanic was called to the site of a factory because the equipment was malfunctioning. In…read more10 minutes, he found that a bolt was missing, replaced it, and wrote the name of the part on a bill for $10,000. The manager looked at the bill and exclaimed, "$10,000 for a bolt?!".

We are two girls in our 20's and 30's who suddenly lost our mother last year. When the winter came, we went to fire up the furnace at her house and it would not turn on. A more mechanically inclined friend stopped by, and tried the emergency shutoff switch on the wall and poked around. He thought there might be an electrical problem. I called Raj Electric and he told me that he would go have a look for a "FREE ESTIMATE". I was not able to be there, but my sister was. It turns out there was a second shut off switch that all of us overlooked, as it was in a precarious place. He flicked in on and handed a bill to my little sister for $150. We felt gouged. The End

They are the most honest and trustworthy people you can find on the market and they are there to help you achieve your goals without trying to upsell you. We were also able to speak to them on weekends and after-hours. If I ever had any question, I felt I could rely on Ricardo to provide a solution. We highly recommend them and they will get a call from us again when we're having any electrical issues!
