"Worst service I’ve ever have experienced. They wanted to sell me the product, never told me that there was an early termination fee and another penalty for an initial offer they gave me. Had double charges every month, once for the oil they provided (which they never told me they were going to provide before coming. They just came without my knowledge and then I find a high amount bill) and another for an “automatic payment” for 500 that they never could explain. The didn’t even fix this issue and it kept happening every month even after I cancelled the service. Then having to call them is a hastié for the refund of the 500. Stay away of this company"

203.508.3509 At Power Forward LLC, we take great pride in our 15 years of electric experience, expertise, quality and customer service that we provide to meet the consumer's needs. It is our mission to provide excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction from start to completion of a project. In order to understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety and quality, regardless of how large or small the job. Call today!

"I have found my forever electricians (at least while I live in the New Haven area)! From start to finish my experience with Power Forward was an absolute pleasure. Company owner, Ian, was responsive, punctual, and incredibly informative when it came to walking me through the details of the scope of work I was requesting, and was thoroughly transparent and fairly priced when it came to his estimate. Once we accepted the quote, scheduling with Morgan was easy and efficient, and Chris arrived onsite within a day of me accepting the estimate. Chris was a consummate professional, a super clean worker when it came to caring for our house and the cleanliness of his cable paths, and was truly dedicated to doing the job â the right wayâ not just the easy and cheap way. He took his time and planned his cable runs and circuiting carefully to ensure both minimal cutting into our walls and convenient receptacle placement. Once he was finished, he took care to clean every area heâ d worked in and probably left some of the rooms cleaner than when he arrived! I would recommend Ian and Power Forward to anyone who appreciates work that is done with care, safe, and efficient. I think you get what you pay for when it comes to hiring trade professionals, and electricity is not something you want to cut corners with: hire Ian and his team, and have it done right and safe the first time."

Subcontractors questions, answered by experts

There are several different steps in the pole barn building process. First, you’ll need construction plans, which you’ll use to obtain permits. Then, you can clear the land so it’s suitable for building and installing the foundation. Your contractor will frame the barn using large poles, then rough in the plumbing and electricity (if your barn has those elements) before finishing the interior, adding siding, and installing the roof. 

After that, they’ll finish up the electrical work and plumbing and add your windows and doors. You may have a few other finishing jobs to do like painting or waterproofing.

Many providers assist with obtaining necessary permits. Confirm with your contractor.

No, builders and general contractors don’t expect tips. In fact, some companies may prohibit their employees from accepting client tips. If you want to show gratitude for a job well done, consider writing a review of your builder or contractor or agreeing to be a reference for potential new customers.

The timeline for building a game room depends on the project’s complexity. Converting an existing room may take one to three weeks, while building a new addition or highly customized space can take several months. Factors such as permitting, material lead times, and contractor availability also impact the project schedule.

Modular homes are more affordable than stick-built homes if you keep quality and square footage equal. The cost to build a home averages $323,000, while average modular home prices sit at {AvgCost}. If you’re looking for custom or luxury options, a traditional custom home costs $825,000, while a high-end modular home costs $600,000, on average.
