Microwave Outlet wasn't working. They did fix that one. It is working fine so far :)
Dining Room Outlet: Was working but lit was loose. It is still working, and it is still loose.
I asked for a new outlet installed in the master bathroom. It was Installed. It works- but they wired it upside down.
Main bathroom light- bottom switch, shower fan- middle switch and heat lamp- top switch.
I wish they had wired it in the order it was before:
Main bathroom light- top switch, shower fan- middle switch and heat lamp- bottom switch.
After they were done-- When I plug in my vacuum cleaner-- the vac power dips and the bathroom light turns on.
They did fix this. It was wired wrong.
Outside Pool Outlet: Was working but was dangerously loose. It needed to be mounted to a cinder block wall.
Upon instruction, I went to Home Depot and bought an outdoor outlet with a cover (then I went into the house and let him do his work) he mounted it (without a word) on the side of the concrete wall. When he was done/and gone-- I noticed it opens sideways instead of downward to shed rain.
Im not an electrician (I'm a mother)-- but it seems now-- after the fact-- using common sense, that he should have asked me to return the wrong- side facing cover, and get the correct cover that opens up and down. Of course it is much safer than it was-- but it's till not done right.
Two guys came. One was most likely an apprentice. He took electrical plates off outlets, gofer-ed and stood around waiting for instruction. I paid for an electrician for a day. I got an electrician and his apprentice for the day. I believe I paid an electrician for 4 hours of work. I believe I paid to have an apprentice trained. I will never again agree to 2 people for 4 hours again.
All told-- I would like one seasoned and knowledgeable electrician to come out and fix everything that I already paid for.
Yes, they worked hard, they were nice and they did try; but I shouldn't have to pay for their mistakes, electrician apprenticeships, or lack of reimbursement from company decisions.
Thank you in advance for your help to make this all turn out right. I will be happy to improve my review of your services upon your response to my situation.

I called them but they never answered. The price was exorbitant. I want to call them because I want them to know how upset I am.
Here is the thing. I understand that this was a rush job. I understand the vendor was doing his best to accommodate my needs. for these things I applaud them. What they didn't do is provide the quality they where known for and failed to listen to what I wanted even after explaining several time to the electrician doing the work and the office. In this situation it's all about me. If what I want is not what we discussed or what you quoted, tell me and let's discuss revised pricing. Unless there is a good reason not to, do what I want, the way I want it. It's that simple.
