"The team arrived on time and went right to work. Universal told me that I would be without electricity for most of the day as they change out the electrical panel. I was expecting a day or even two without power. I was pleasantly surprised! The team started at 9am, had ALL of the items on the list tested and completed by 4pm!"

"Called at 11:30 a.m. and Chris was here by about 12:10 p.m.  Figured out the problem within about 15 minutes.  A switch on our older receiver just needed to be set on another setting.  I asked if he wanted payment now or will he send a bill.  Chris called the boss and the boss said not to charge anything since no parts were needed and it took chris such a short time to figure it out.  I was not even charged for a service call!  He just asked that we spread the word about the company!  You just do not see anything like this very often anymore.  Chris gave me some business cards and I will for sure pass them out to friends and spread the word.
How refreshing it is that a business like this still exists.  I would highly recommend this company and will call them again the next time I need something and will be willing to pay whatever they charge as I know it will be a fair price.
I realize that I just happened t call at a good time and that no company can come out so fast and I realize that most of the time it will cost something.  But they could have easily charged at least a service call and they did not.  This is a sign of a truly outstanding company.  Please use them, they are outstanding!

"The first thing that happened was for Ryan and Julie from Cabinet Clad to visit our house and get an ideal of our remodeling needs.  They would work with us on cabinet style, stain color, style of door knobs, hardwood floors, etc.  We would then sit down with them at their office to finalize the contract and negotiate a price.  The project would start in approximately 5 weeks. 
Cabinet Clad gave me a copy of a project schedule so I knew exactly what was going on.  If changes were being made to the schedule they informed me of the change. The gutting of the kitchen and living room took about 2 days.  They removed everything and hauled off everything.  They removed the soffits in the kitchen and reframed the walls and sheet rocked the walls.  The electrician roughed in the changes needed and the sheet rock personnel got started.  It took longer to mud the sheet rock then projected (about 1 1/2 weeks) however the weather had some reason for the delay.  We picked out the granite at a company in Independence along with the assistance of Julie (their designer). The granite personnel installed the granite in less than one day.  Julie also help us pick out the style of facing needed on the fireplace.  She was very helpful in giving us an ideal of what we needed in design, style and color.   The project was completed pretty much on schedule (about 6 weeks). 
The cabinets were made in Abilene, KS and were excellent quality.  The cabinet personnel did an excellent job installing.  The backsplash tile person and the plumber all did very good work.  The electrician was outstanding adjusting and establishing the lighting and electrical needs of the kitchen and living room.  The sheet rock personnel did an acceptable job, however it took longer than expected to mud the rooms.  Chip (the project manager) was excellent in keeping us on schedule, coordinating all the sub contractors and responding to our changes.   Cabinet Clad completed the remodeling project beyond our expectations.  We love it very much.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Yes, electricians must be licensed, certified, and in most cases, insured. Licensing requirements vary by state and local municipality, but most U.S. municipalities require electricians to hold an electrical contractor’s license. It's always a good practice to confirm requirements with your local municipality. Even if licensing is not required in your area, hiring a licensed and experienced electrician often leads to a better end result.

A license is a legal requirement to operate a business and is necessary for pulling project permits. Certifications, on the other hand, are typically voluntary and demonstrate a certain level of expertise. In some cases, a certified electrician may send an apprentice or journeyman to perform the work, but they must operate under a primary electrician who holds the proper license.

Before hiring, you should verify the electrician's license, insurance coverage, and any third-party certifications. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing search to confirm a pro's license status. Additionally, businesses with the “Angi Approved” badge on our platform meet strict criteria, including having the required state and local licenses, passing a background check, and maintaining a high average rating.

If you encounter any issues or feel unsure about your abilities, stop immediately and contact a licensed electrician for help. It's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to electrical work, as mistakes during the wiring process can be hazardous to your home and personal safety.

Yes, the National Electrical Code reviews household codes every three years. However, that doesn’t always mean that kitchen counter outlet requirements will change, but it does allow room for professionals to make updates. That’s why many older kitchens are no longer code-compliant thanks to changing rules for amperage, GFCI protection, and more.

Unless you’re a licensed electrician with extensive experience in upgrading electric panels, you must hire a professional for any electrical work. A licensed electrician will make sure your breaker is upgraded safely and in compliance with local codes. Your pro will also take care of any permits and inspections that are needed.

Yes, most electric heated bathroom floor systems require a dedicated GFCI-protected circuit to ensure safety and proper function. An electrician may need to upgrade your panel or run new wiring, which can increase installation costs. Always check local building codes and manufacturer recommendations before installation to ensure a safe and compliant setup.
