I hired Mark Deering right before Christmas to relocate several switches and receptacles in the bath room, dining room and kitchen when I was replacing the cabinets and remodeling a rental house I own. Since I didn't have any cabinets in the kitchen at that time, the switch and 4 receptacles were not hooked up and he was to come back after the cabinets were installed to hook them up as is stated on his invoice "DUE TO COME BACK AND INSTALL LIGHTS UNDER THE CABINETS". I have a copy of this and picture.
I installed the cabinets and I called him in March to come back and finish the job. After some discussion he didn't remember some details such as to whether he was to supply the lights and dimmer switch and I told him that I had them.
He then said I did not pay him enough to install the lights under the cabinets which I then told him it is stated on his invoice.
I paid him $600 for 4 hours of work which is $150.an hour when most electricians charge $95. the first hour and $75. thereafter. He told me he didn't work by the hour he works by the job.
Since I didn't hear back from him I called on April 2nd and left a message, he called me back on April 7th and said he would call me on the 8th or 9th and come by which is on his way home , Since he didn't call me I called him again on the10th left another message and he called me back on the 14th and told me would call and stop by the next day, I never heard back from him.
With this guys attitude I didn't want to deal with him anymore so yesterday I called another electrician who came by and hooked everything up which took about I/2 hour and he wanted $50.
If anyone does hire this guy make sure you get his price by the hour and not by the job. most people think a person that works out of his truck would have less overhead and give a better price than someone that has a place of business, not so.
When he relocated the receptacle in the bathroom he didn't put in or even recommend to me a GFI receptacle in the bathroom as required by code.
