- Spartan ContractingOur journey with Spartan Contracting began in the early summer of 2019. We had just fired another contractor in the middle of a bathroom remodel which had turned into an unqualified disaster. The project was putting a second bathroom in the basement of our 65 year old house, and remodeling the existing upstairs bathroom. The contractor we had hired on the basis of a friend's recommendation had just stopped showing up with the job half done. As we should have done to begin with, we interviewed three contractors and went with Spartan. I wish we had found them first! Levi (owner) and Mark (foreman) went over the existing and projected work in detail, gave us a thorough estimate, and an honest assessment of what needed to be done. Mistakes had been made by the previous contractor and subcontractors, which had to be rectified. As well, the previous contractor had not obtained the appropriate permits for the extensive job, which could have become a serious issue when it came to selling the house in future. Everything that needed to be done was explained in detail at each step. Spartan was definitely challenged by the fact that the house is 65 years old. As work progressed, not unexpectedly, issues turned up which had to be addressed to bring electricity and plumbing up to code, to reinforce aged infrastructure, to correct haphazardly done "upgrades" by the previous homeowners(s), as well as the mistakes made by the previous contractor. At each step of the way, they explained what needed to be done and why. We wanted everything to be done correctly, to code, and in a quality fashion. This is what we got. The downstairs bathroom had been a particular challenge due to very old plumbing, and dealing with a lift station to the septic system. Each challenge was met and solved. Excellent plumbing and electrical subcontractors were brought in. Both bathrooms turned out beautifully. We were so pleased that we decided to go ahead with a kitchen remodel, as well as adding an arctic entryway and replacing poorly built deck and fence. Levi and Mark worked with us to design a kitchen that would fit into a somewhat challenging space. Again, as the project proceeded, necessary improvements and upgrades had to be made. Work proceeded through the winter with its cold weather challenges. And then..... the pandemic. Spartan was hampered by supply chain standstill for months, and the general systemic issues we all death with starting March 2000. They did what they could, when they could, but the project stretched far longer than any of us anticipated. Our project finally finished this summer. The results are beautiful. We went from having one old and kind of disgusting bathroom, and a dysfunctional kitchen, to two beautiful bathrooms, a kitchen we love to cook in, and a much appreciated arctic entry. I can't say enough about Spartan's quality work, professionalism, attention to detail, and working by the book as far as codes, inspections, and permits. As well, Levi and Mark had to accomodate the choices and demands of two opinionated women (me and my daughter) on what we wanted. Spartan went above and beyond in so many ways, often working 7 days a week, and did extra things like bringing space heaters over when our furnace died, and helping keep our chickens warm in winter. There are many more projects we could embark on for our old house, and we will certainly have Spartan move forward when we are ready. After working on our old house for three years, I like to think they have a bit of affection for it! Thanks to Levi, Mark, Wendy, and all their excellent assistants and subcontractors
- Pickett Power ElectricHe is the best and top rated electrician that I have met. He did an extraordinary job and gave me a really good suggestions for my mobile home and regards to lighting. He goes over & beyond, doesn't charges much, kind, thorough, quick, and competent. He is like an answered prayer. Wayne is a very kind and compassionate man with a very good attitude. You can ask questions on that of that
- Capricorn LLCExcellent work! Very cordial. Art is knowledgeable and proficient. A simple job wasn’t. He had to dismantle the mounting because the hardwiring was incorporated into the interior of the homes wiring. A less than 1 hour job turned into 2. He stuck to original quote and afterward said he enjoyed doing work on an excellent wiring system! While on the job I asked about a carpentry job and he began taking care of it on the spot until the time came to make it to another job. The installation of the fixtures is above par-and it was the first day of a snow but he didn’t even blink. Will definitely look to a hiring for interior other remodeling projects
- Jensen ConstructionDave did amazing work. We needed a full kitchen remodel on our downstairs unit that was basically falling apart. Kitchen now looks like something out of a magazine. He fixed a bunch of issues downstairs that were causing problems in our upstairs unit also. The backyard deck turned out great also. We found that whoever installed it previously, did so unsafely. He rebuilt it with trex decking, added rails, and made it bigger as well. Turned out beautiful and much safer now that we have a little running around. Well worth every penny we paid, which is much less than other quotes we had. That kitchen turned out so nice, that my wife wants to do our kitchen now too!!

"It took several trips. They spent several hours installing an outlet so that I could have a new electric stove installed after having had a gas stove. There had been an electric stove there before, so it didn't seem like it would be a huge job to take it back from 110 to 220. The thing is, electrical stoves are hard-wired, so all the hours spent on the outlet were wasted when the stove installer had to take it back out. They told me the flickering light was the fixture, but after installing a new fixture, it still flickers. The GCFI did not show the right lights on their tester, but they said it was ok. And last night the wiring under the stove failed.

"I called Casablanca Fans earlier today about the need for a

<br /> 1984 and no longer available. I was referred to "Ed Roberge" of

"Our business is in hospitality and food service. The most recent extension of our company was a mobile commercial kitchen. We knew our kitchen had to meet precise requirements with health and fire inspectors. It was just as important that our electrical work was up to code. We are happy to have found Pickett Power Electric! After filling out the questionnaire on Angie's list I very quickly received a call from Wayne, the owner of Pickett Power Electric. Wayne was very courteous on the phone and got right down business. We began by discussing the specific needs of our kitchen. This included the power requirements of each appliance and placement according to our floor plan. Wayne made quick work of tallying the numbers and we set an appointment to view the mobile kitchen in person. Wayne arrived at the job site right on time. Over the couple of days the project took place this was an attribute I came to appreciate about him. In some cases he even beat me there! I showed him around the kitchen and discussed the flow of operations. At this time we mapped our switches, outlets, and panel placement. I had an idea of things I wanted functionally but it was Wayne's professional eye that was also able to consider aesthetics and convenience as well. It truly started to feel like a custom job! Wayne followed up by taking his time to draft an equipment list in a way that I would be able to understand. With his direction I was able to easily purchase everything on the list. There were even a few times I got confused when shopping and Wayne was instantly available on the phone for calls and picture messages. I definitely couldn't have sorted through all the gadgets without him! Never having used Angie's List I was not really sure what to expect. After seeing Wayne's work during the initial stages of day one I had no doubt we were working with a professional. I later asked how long he'd been doing electrical work and he mentioned 33 years! His work was fast, concise, and found a way to include me every step of the way. After all the wiring was done and the panel was installed I went out to get a generator. Wayne was willing to lend his expertise in this field as well given his experience with generators on job sites. We were able to pair a nice generator capable of maintaining our whole mobile kitchen's power requirements. One thing I really appreciated was Wayne's follow up after I got the generator. He helped me hook it up and even custom made the power cable for it. Next he walked me through the proper methods of operating the panel when connecting the generator. I was very happy to have this insight! After the generator was warmed up and plugged in Wayne finished the job by testing each outlet for proper operation. I wasn't surprised when everything worked great! All in all the work took two and half days. There was never a moment I felt any time was being wasted. Wayne's work was clean, concise, and really looks great in our kitchen! What we were left with is a truly custom job. We have plenty of plans for future projects in our commercial kitchen and I have no doubt that we will be reaching out to Pickett Power Electric to get them done!
