C&S Electric Co

unknown

The call was promptly answered a couple days before service was provided.  A time was set.  He called a couple times to confirm and showed up at the agreed time and got right to work.  The job was exceptional.  Not a speck of dust was left, nor was there any sign of discoloration in the walls where the new outlets were saved.  Highly recommended.

Ray was very nice, professional, cleaned up everything and completed the work on time.  His prices were fair and he was very good at explaining what needed to be done.

Ray came over to give me a quote, and came back to give me an updated quote when I decided I wanted to change what I wanted done.  He was very courteous and professional, and had good prices (we got three quotes for the work).  The work done was high quality.  The new ceiling fan and light fixture work great.  Would definitely use again.

I had very mixed experiences with Ray. He was very professional and punctual in the beginning.  The work he did also seemed to be clean.  Unfortunately, he did not keep his promise to take care of the inspection.  One and a half months later, not being able to reach him through email, I had to set the inspection in motion myself.  When I finally reached him, I was surprised to learn that he was very reluctant to go through the inspection, stating that he would lose other job opportunities while waiting all day for the inspector.  Having calling the dept. of Building Safety myself, I assured him that he could schedule appointment in two-hour intervals. Only then he agreed to come. On the day of the inspection, I was warned by Ray not to speak to the inspector, and leave all the talking to him.
From my experience, I can only conclude that Ray is a person who lacks a sense of work ethics. Inspection is part of a permit-related job deal. If he did not want to go through the inspection, he should not have accepted the job.  Moreover, to forbid customer from talking to the inspector, so he could have better chance of passing the inspection is extremely rude and unprofessional. In addition, he did not seem to have changed many electrical panels as he had claimed, otherwise he would have known that inspection could be scheduled in two-hours intervals.
A word of advice from the first inspector: "In a permit-related job, never pay the service provider in full until the job passes the inspection," or you will run into the same kind of problem as I did.

In response to the company's reply

I am extremely disappointed of Ray's comment.  Not only he did not offer apology for what he put me through, but to add insult to injury, threaten customers for sharing their negative experiences. What were the manipulation and dishonesty on my part? He was paid in full on the day the job was completed. The only problem was that he was very unwilling to go through the inspection as he had promised, and I as a customer had to do all the work to get the inspection done. A 5 star company does not do that!

I know Ray for 3 years now. He rewired my home back in 2011 and did a great job. Since then I have hired him two more times to design and install landscape lights in my back yard and to install a new chandelier. I highly recommend Ray to family and friends because he is a true professional, honest and always with a good attitude. 

I decided to get rid of the old fluorescent lights in my kitchen. I called Ray and he removed the old lights fixtures and the old frame. He installed beautiful brand new recessed lights and I love it.
The kitchen is much brighter now and it looks great.

Ray was awesome! Very experienced and knowledgable. He finished the job in one day, as he promised.
Fast, clean and perfect job. Definitely will use his him again for my other properties. Thanks.

This is the second time I'm calling Ray from C&S electric. He is arriving tight on time, with all equipment, offers very reasonable price and provide quality service. Will not replace my electrician - very recommended. Will use his services again.

Ray is awesome! Very experienced and knowledgable. He finished the job in one day, as he promised. Fast, clean and perfect job. Definitely will use his him again for my other properties.

I really appreciated his attitude and approach. He clearly wrote the scope of work before he started the job and I really appreciated that.

It went swiftly and professionally.

The electrical work was one part of an entire overhaul of the house. Ray and his crew worked with us and our other contractors to make sure we could renovate plumbing, heating and air, chimney, roof, plastering and new foundation work all within a month's time. He was unfailingly professional, polite and thorough. When our dryer outlet was installed (before the dryer had been moved from our old place), I failed to notice the outlet did not match our dryer plug. When I did notice it, it was the Saturday of the Memorial day weekend. Ray not only obtained the right outlet, he came over on the Sunday of the holiday weekend and replaced the outlet. As our new light fixtures came in, he made sure they were installed at our convenience. When we located the cooling compressors outside the garage (about 25 feet from the house) and the trench that was supposed to contain the electrical conduit was not the right depth, he delayed work at other sites so he could come back when the trench was ready to have the conduit laid and for the city inspection. Ray went far above what most contractors would do to make (and keep) a satisfied customer.

Ray's a true professional: courteous, efficient, and he kept to his original estimate even though I required more services than I had previously told him. He was at my home for about 2 hours, and apart from parts, he charged a flat $100. Good man. I invited him back for some home remodeling I because I trust him.

I knew this 80-yr. old neglected house would need a lot of electrical update and had six contractors bid on the job. Ray's bid was the 2nd highest, but I was impressed at the careful and detailed way in which he looked at the house. He readily understood that while I wanted to be cost conscious, I didn't want to sacrifice quality or safety. His recommendations and suggestions fit exactly with that idea. From his initial visit to the house to the beginning of the project and all that followed, Ray and his crew were prompt and wasted no time. His crew was always efficient, courteous, professional, and pleasant to deal with. Any questions or concerns that came up were dealt with immediately. Ray himself is detail oriented and there were no loose ends or vague agreements. The work proceeded exactly as planned and finished when promised. All in all, I wholeheartedly recommend C&S Electric Co. You absolutely cannot go wrong using them.

Ray, the owner, showed up on time for our initial interview. His price was extremely competitive with my other bids and his professionalism convinced me to hire him for the work. Two days later, Ray and his crew showed up on time and worked together under Ray's guidance to ensure the work was done neatly and correctly. They stayed for almost twelve hours and completed the job in one day! I have nothing but great praise for this company and would definitely hire him again. Thanks Ray!
