"Angelo showed up and after showing him the work said he had to call his manager. He then had a ridiculous list of individual costs wanting $10,000 to complete the setup. Moreover, he then claimed he only did cost quotas yet in his van was all the equipment to complete my job. These guys are not honest and it is all about the money. Especially in summer. Another company came out and did the job for $600!!! The next day!!! Avoid these Anderson con artists. They act like this is the most difficult thing in the world. I travel a lot. These units are all over the world by the 100 thousands--just in Athens alone I saw every high rise apartment and houses with them. Not rocket science but granted it takes a trained technician to install refrigerant. It took 2 hours to complete. Angelo spent an hour on this call and 15 minutes trying to BS me why he could not do it. Upscale neighborhood--let's bid this 10 times what is reasonable."

"We cannot make enough positive comments about our experience with Remodel Works. They recently remodeled two of our bathrooms, which also included knocking a couple of walls to reconfigure the layout on our second floor. We have already recommended them to so many people! From the start, they were highly professional, showing up exactly when they said they would, fully prepared. They promise a particular timeline, and unlike so many other contractors, they actually stuck to it 100%. Really! They have their system completely worked out, so that every piece of the puzzle is accounted for before they start their work. Every person we worked with - including Matt our designer and Lance - was communicative, friendly, skilled, and professional. You could also tell they really enjoyed working with each other, which made for a really pleasant working environment overall. Matt did a great job giving us his professional opinion in line with our vision and tweaking things to make them even better, always considering our preferences above all else. We had a pretty grand vision, and they were thorough, patient, excited, and flexible with us throughout the process. By the time they got started, they had ensured all details had been accounted for and decisions had been made, so they needed no guidance or supervision from us at all after they got started. We fully trusted them to take care of it independently with no oversight (and even lived elsewhere during the process), and they did not disappoint. We were thrilled with the workmanship and look of the remodel. My husband and I were truly so impressed by Remodel Works, and we plan to recommend them to everyone we know!"

Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.
