The work required was for three soffit lights installed in the 3 peaks of my home. Received quote very quickly with a discount of $50 per light from $400 to $350 per/ light and a very professional scope of work to include insurance information (my requirement was licensed and insured). I thought everything was good and attempted to make first installment. Quinn declined and told me to wait (1st redflag)-weird - who turns down $$$? Tim Eddings arrives on Friday (9/23/22) @4pm to commence work thinking that all I needed was bulbs changed. What?!!! Did you not read your own scope of work? I showed it to him and the cost went up by $450 from $1,113 to $1563. (2nd redflag) . Quinn Marcel is on the phone and states that he (Quinn) doesn't know this type of work - well how can you price it Sir? Once Tim realizes what the work entails, he then reschedules to 9/29/22 and states he will have help. I had already sent a picture of my house to Quinn - not certain if he shared it with Tim. Tim and Moses arrive at my house and ask me, "Do you have the lights?" No I don't - the quote states that you all will provide materials, labor and supplies. Tim then says, okay. I'll go get them - home depot. He comes back with floodlights VS soffit lights. (3rd redflag) . . eventually I'm going to stop counting the flags because there are too many . . SMH! Tim comes back with "acceptable" lights - his partner (Moses) is busy running wires through my attic and there are two hanging out waiting for light installs right now. Scary part(s) - my husband, at work, but calling with questions had me go outside and ask how they plan to seal the holes being drilled into our home to prevent leakage from rain. Tim laughs and tells me that that is not his line of work. Really?! and he proceeds to drill right through the BRICK of my garage which is 2 feet below the peak of where the light is supposed to be. He tells me that he can't reach the peak but didn't ask if this was okay to install the light 2 feet lower than my request and outside the scope of work! I told him this is UNACCEPTABLE and he informs me he needs a taller ladder. My husband tells him, he will pay for the rental of a taller ladder from Home Depot and Tim calls and finds they don't rent them anymore. Today is 9/30/22 and we are expecting the remnants of Hurricane Ian for the next 4 days (rain) so work cannot be completed until next Wednesday (10/05/22). Tim thinks he has another 3-hours of work ahead of him to complete this job. I currently think this job was too big for him and now I cannot reach Quinn Marcel or any other person at their "headquarters". Tim also asked me, if I believed in Conspiracy Theory? What? Not when my home is being hacked and drilled in areas that I cannot see! Very unprofessional. Update: After providing feedback to the contractor, we went in another direction and had the job completed by another contractor within 3 hours and they UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT.

I had a Fairfax County inspector come in to see what had been done so far. It failed. The inspector asked if I was sure the person who did the work had been licensed. Some places he had used too small a cable, other cables went back and forth between boxes, and in some places he'd put three lines where only two should go. I hired a new company and they also asked if a licensed electrician had done the work they were so incredulous. It's cost me almost $5,000 to redo the poor work City Lights had done. And then I found out that when he pulled our meter in April he had put it back in UPSIDE DOWN. We have an old meter so it will let power flow while upside down but will not register any use. As a result Dominion thought we were trying to steal electricity and pulled the meter without warning. It took me hours of phone calls, the intervention of our new electricians, and $1500 in cash to get our meter restored. Of course that left a black mark on our credit report. This was to date the single worst experience I'd even had with a contractor. And yes, I have photos and documentation.

Dominion Energy told me they would provide a box and accompanying upper wires free of charge, yet Joe insisted on replacing the wires above my box and charging me for them. He rushed me into doing the job by telling me it was going to rain soon and that he had to hurry up and get started as he charges by the hour, essentially cutting off my additional questioning of what he was planning to do and how, etc. As a result he also decided not to call Dominion when he arrived, as they told me he should do. Today when Dominion stopped by to take a look they 1) told me that Joe's work was mediocre but could have been done better 2) Joe touched THEIR wires which he shouldn't have done and could have easily bypassed the need to charge me for those add'l wires but chose not to in order to scam more money out of me, and most importantly 3) he completely overcharged me (likely for the box and wires which I told him Dominion was to provide for free).

We needed a new breaker installed to put a microwave over our range, since there was no dedicated circuit. Previously a range hood was hard-wired above the range. Edward came and gave us a quote a few days after we called him. It was easy to schedule an appointment - just a phone call, no forms or scheduling software to deal with, no waiting for a call back. He showed us his license when he arrived for the quote and pointed out how to verify it, which was great. The price he quoted was the same he charged the day-of. I really appreciated how upfront and honest he was. Once he arrived he wore a mask the entire time he did the work which was greatly appreciated. He had to remove some drywall to run the new electrical lines, but he was really thoughtful to remove as little as possible. I'm very happy with the minimal drywall changes. After the new circuit and outlet were installed, he took the time to remove the old hard-wired cabling. This was above and beyond what I expected. He had to figure out where the cable ran, which is no small task given the wiring in my place is, let's say, "unexpected". He helped me pull down the old range hood as well. Every time he found something that seemed off or wrong during the course of his work (like a non-flush light on my kitchen ceiling) he fixed it and made it better than how he found it. Once he was finished, he asked several times if everything was done to my satisfaction. Yeah, absolutely - everything was great. It was the job we were quoted, executed to perfection, for a fair price. I'll call Edward for any future electrical work.
