"I hesitate to respond to this review because it was submitted under a fraudulent date. I did not work for [member name removed] in August 2014. As a matter of fact I worked for him in May of 2010. I provided him with an estimate to wire a hot tub. He said he couldn't afford to hire me, but did want me to complete the wiring from the disconnect to the panel, which I did. [member name removed] then informed me he would be hiring an unlicensed person to complete the remainder of the work. He asked if I would "walk her through" how to do it. I declined because, as a contractor, it's my belief that it is not in a homeowner's best interest to hire an unlicensed person to complete complicated electrical work. After I declined, [member name removed] became very heated and he phoned the police to say I sabotaged his job, which is not true. It was his attempt to try to scare me into helping him. The police did not find any grounds for his accusations. I amended the City of Davis permit to only cover the portion of the work I completed, to protect my license and bond from a claim if there was subsequently negligent work by the unlicensed individual. Within a few day, I began to receive calls and messages from [member name removed] unlicensed person asking me to instruct her how to do the remainder of the work that I estimated originally. I declined. Since that day [member name removed] has gone to Yelp, Google, Angie's list, etc. and wrote slanderous, untrue reviews of my business. He is also bad mouthing me to other contractors. On this review he put a fraudulent date. This review was written over four years after I worked for him. If he is willing to lie about the date of the job, in my opinion he loses his credibility altogether. The City of Davis inspector signed off on the permit for my work and verified it complied with Davis and National Electric Code. I stand by my work and the the principles by which I've run my business for almost 15 years. My other reviews speak for themselves."
Dennis is very professional and installed the light fixture quickly and knowledgeably. Very reasonable price for electricians in the area. Would definitely use again.
