I called Progressive Electrical Service when I couldn't get the breaker to reset. As this was the breaker for the refrigerator I was concerned that someone could get here before food started to go bad. I called this provider because I had used them before and was pleased with their service. They were here in about a 1/2 hour, so no spoilage. He also looked at the fan in one of my bathrooms and got it working again for no charge. I am very pleased with this provider and their fast service.
before coming down for a two week vacation
and arranged for them to come in and install a ceiling fan box and fan in one
of our bed rooms. This required them to go into the attic and cut in and wire
the fan box. The orginal quote for the work was $275.00 for 3 hours of work, $125
for the first hour and $37.50 for each additional half hour, without installing
the fan. After thinking about it we decided to just have them install the fan
as well and when I called the office back they quoted that would now be around
$300.00 to $325.00 dollars and we were good with that and schedule the work for
8:30 Monday morning 10/6/14.
The technician was an half hour late,
but that wasn?t a big deal to us as we didn?t have anything else planned that
day except to do some other work around the house. After the work was completed
the technician presented us with a bill for $383.00 dollars, which included $67.00
dollars for parts, $262.50 for 3 and half hours of work and a $50.00 service
charge. Now I know that the ceiling fan mounting box is about $10 - $12 at Lowes
or Home Depot and I?m sure they get them for less than that and the switch and
wire may have ran him about $20 at the most and so I feel that the $67.00 in
materials is a little much and where was did the $50.00 ?Service Fee? come
from?
On top of the final cost, the technician
left hand prints and marks on our white ceiling that my wife had to clean and
we later found a piece of wire sticking out of the ceiling near the wall were
the switch was.
When I called the office about the cost,
I was told that it was the addition of the fan install that caused the price to
be that high even through it only added a half hour to the original quoted time
of 3 hours, but I was not given an explanation on the cost of the materials and
the $50.00 service fee. The explanation for the wire sticking out of the
ceiling was that the technician uses that to locate the wall from up in the
attic so he knows where to drill down from to run the wire and that usually
they pull the wire out and fill the hole with caulking so you can?t see it.
I picked this vender over others because
they had many good reviews on Angie?s list, but I will not use them again.
"This customer was given a quote of 125.00 for the first hour and 37.50 for each half hour after the initial hour. The Service Fee is included in the 125.00 quote for the first hour but is listed on a separate line item on our invoices, so this customer was charged as per quote (75.00 per hour + 50.00 Service Fee = 125.00) I'm sorry for my Electrician being 1/2 hour late. As to the materials, we purchase our materials from Electrical Supply Houses and prices very as each supply house carries different brands and may not get the same volume discounts as Home Depot or Lowes. Home Depot or Lowes does have better pricing on certain Items but you will pay ten times more on others. Also we do not charge sales tax as a line Item because we pay tax at the time of purchase in Florida as we are considered the end-user, so the sales tax is included in our material price. Our electrician picks us his materials in the morning from the suppliers and he is being paid by state and federal labor laws. This cost is added to the cost of materials in our mark-up. You might be able to buy some things cheaper but it's not picked up and delivered to your front door. This customer was charged as quoted and the low grade appears to be over the misinterpretation of the price quoted as it appears on our invoice, We urge you to review the 62 "A" grades over the 2 "D" Grades."
I would highly recommend Progressive for anyone's electrician needs.
I COUND NOT HAVE BE MORE PLEASED. HE FOUND SO MANY HAZARDOUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES, HAD I NOT HAD
THIS INSPECTION I COULD HAVE BURNED UP IN THAT HOUSE, AS THE HOME INSPECTOR DID NOT DISCOVER
ANY OF THESE ISSURES. RANDY SPENT HOURS INVESTIGATING ALL THE ELECTRICAL NIGHTMARES IN THIS HOME.
RANDY LIFE SAVER.......
Ken's was different from the other estimates I received. He gave us advice continually through the whole job, and did not charge us for change orders as many times my wife and I added things and sometimes decided to relocate fixtures. My GC had pulled the permit and worked perfectly with Ken and his team. Ken really knows his stuff. Gives sound advice and was extremely fair with us on price. Although all his electricians that I met were super nice and friendly, I must say "Joe" was incredible. His work was very neat and orderly, done to perfection and always cleaned up at the end of the day. His work was so neat and unique the way he wrapped and pulled his wires, the county inspector looked at the work one day and asked me who did the wiring. I asked him why he asks and he said he's never seen such neat and orderly circuits in the walls. I especially liked the fact that Ken and his team treated my project like it was their most important job even though it was a barn, not some 2 mil dollar home. My GC thought very highly of them as well.
I cant say enough about this company, I would highly recommend them. And if all this wasn't enough, the owner of the company, Randy called me when the job was done and asked if he could come out and take a look at the job. He came by, checked a few things and asked me if I like the job. While he was there he even changed a light bulb for me in a perimeter light that was 25 feet up and burned out prematurely. (I supplied fixture from Home Depot) I'm not crazy about heights and ladders.
If you have any electrical needs, you wont be sorry having Progressive on the job. Top Notch company....
Overall, the job was performed by Paul, the electrician, in a professional manner that greatly exceeded all owner expectations. I had 3 full rooms whose electrical outlets were inoperative and thus this job involved complex troubleshooting. The job was highly complex because the outlets were controlled by various circuits not necessatily in the same room as the inoperative outlets, meaning each circuit controlled outlets in multiple rooms. For one oultlet, the electrical wires were accidentally stapled by the original builder in the attic and the stables finally penetrated the wires making then inoperative and this break in the circuit affected not only the nearest outlet but all the outlets in another room. New holes had to be drilled in the attic flooring so that new electrical wires could be installed without affecting the drywall, a delicate operation. Paul, the electrician, gets an A+++ for timely and accurately troubleshooting and correcting all deficiancies. Paul arrived on time, worked smart and kept the owner updated on issues as they unravelled. I WILL ALWAYS USE THIS COMPANY AND DEFINITLY RECOMMEND THEM WITH A 100% CONFIDENCE LEVEL.
