It did not go well. In fact, the electrician we hired to finish Jeff's job told me he thinks we should take Jeff before the board and have his license revoked.
Jeff wired 45 devices ( outlets, lights, etc.) to one 15 amp breaker. This could cause the house to burn down or cause all the wiring in the house to fry requiring the entire house to be rewired ( meaning drywall would have to be ripped out) One receptacle in which the microwave was wired had burned the plastic cap in the box I will be uploading a photo. Jeff asked us to pull a homeowners electrical permit, which I didn't understand at the time is very unprofessional and he should have pulled his own permit. These are just two of the many mistakes made on our job.
We paid this guy over $8000, unfortunately I had less than a rudimentary understanding of electrical work and had no idea Jeff was over charging us for work that wasn't performed. He also seemed like a nice guy and I trusted him. Jeff just seemed unwilling to finish. I now understand the reason why was the breaker kept tripping and Jeff discovered his mistakes, rather than man up fix the mistakes and finish the job he quit, blaming my house and telling me he was afraid of me. Jeff is afraid of the truth not me.
I found Jeff on Angie's List and I think the public should be informed about his lack of performance and unprofessionalism on out job. He even asked me to deposit $1800 in his bank account because he couldn't wait for a check to be mailed. I guess that should have been the first red flag that this was the wrong electrician.
He also referred us to another shady contractor,as if his poor performance wasn't enough. Luckily, we fired the guy before he did as much damage as Jeff did to our project.
"(member name), I apologize your experience has not been satisfactory. I appreciate your feedback as it will help us grow and learn from our mistakes. I have attempted to reach out to you in order to address your concerns. Please contact me at your convenience. Best regards, Jeff"
- Our new Chevy Volt was not able to charge when we plugged its cord into the garage outlet.
- It appeared the older outlet needed to be grounded.
The solution --
- Electrician-owner Jeff Stewart said the way the wires were configured, it would cost a lot to ground the outlet, but then he had an idea.
- He said he would try to ground it using another method.
- After a tenacious search for the original electrical box (our house had been remodeled, but the garage outlet was an original outlet), he tried his solution.
- It worked!
- I had tears of joy, I was so happy!
- My husband and I had been snaking the Volt's charge cord into the house in order to plug it in all night -- letting in cold air.
I will definitely call Jeff again and refer him to others!!!
