promised, to schedule another time to come out and fix the problem. I still don't have a working light and will have to hire another company to come out and take care of the persisting problem Do NOT use this company!
professional and did a great job. That being said I contacted them for more work in May of 2013. I wanted them to re-route my underground electric service to my garage and to break up a circuit that I frequently overload.
Frank came out and gave me an estimate which was reasonable. I was clear in what I wanted done and also
expressed my desire to have it done with permits.
The work began as scheduled. The circuit that was supposed to be split up to alleviate it was split up but in a ridiculous way. For example I now have a bedroom with two dedicated circuits for outlets. So although they did what they said they were
going to do they did it in a way that was easy for them and really not helpful to me and my overloaded circuit. Unfortunately I did not check the contract well enough to realize that the discussion I had with Frank did not translate as I had planned to the
contract. This is my fault.
The entry of the re-routed underground piping to the garage was poorly done in that I had to custom cut the new siding on my garage in order to accommodate the conduit to come up into the wall.
I asked about the inspection with the city and they stated that they thought I did not want a permit. It took them a long, long, long time to get the permits and the work failed inspection for overloaded junction boxes, for using drywall type screws to fasten on junction box covers and also using the wrong type of underground conduit.
A few days after the work was completed my garage circuit began randomly popping. I called them back out and they stated there was nothing really to do and if it continued to call them back. I dug up the conduit myself and observed that it had been compromised by most likely a reciprocating saw and was full of water. I pulled the wires out of the underground conduit and observed that the internal wires had also been cut and hastily taped over where the saw had cut the pipe!
I hired what I though was a professional company to do the work as I wanted to follow the city rules. In the end I ended up fixing what they did wrong myself.
I would never recommend or use this company again.
Please note that there are several Hoeksema electric companies and some of them are related by blood. Some of them may be quality reputable companies. Just not this one.
