It went wonderful! He completed right on time, and the cost didn't go up - it was priced exactly as he quoted. I have since recommended him to other family members and neighbors, all of which have been very pleased! Also, I have called him since for quick advice, and he offered it at no cost. Who really does that? I would highly recommend him!!

I was referred to by One Man and a Tool Box (a company I highly recommend) and Jesse came straight out and installed a fan for me. Thanks so much! He's very nice and the price was extremely fair. I will be using him again!

Jesse did an outstanding job quoting a very fair price, added some additional receptacles, rewired an old bathroom cabinet, and sconce light, added a 220 dryer receptacle, and a closest light as well. Added GFI's in kitchen and bathroom, and checked all other outlets.
He explained the entire process as he was working with his crew, and when unexpected problems arose, kept after it and solved the problems.

This company has no conscience. They were hired to rewire a historical duplex. I have since found that they left live wires, no boxes that should have been installed, and old wiring where new should be, and incorrect connections. The knob and tube wiring was mostly disconnected but not removed, and some was left live. At one time they sent out a sub who cut the wrong wire.  I paid them in advance for the last 2 installments and was left waiting for hours day after day without the courtesy of a phone call until I finally went to their office to get some results. They used apprentices who were not supervised. Although they appear to be very knowledgeable, they were thoroughly unprofessional and apparently unconcerned about the hazardous condition they left my house in.

Don?t hire them, ever. Jessie Carr is not a licensed electrician although he claims he is a master's electrician he is just a journeyman. (his dadis also not a licensed electrician).  They take out a large million dollar general liabiltiy insurance policy and do not pay the premium to keep the coverage.  The work is so bad that they do has serious fire code violations putting you at serious risks of having major fires. The left me with considerable damage putting my life, my 4 cats' life, and my home in danger of catching fire. He demands money upfront and throughout when work has not been properly done or completed.  He is a liar, thief and he is a fraud.  He relies on 2 helpers to do almost all the work who do not have reliable transportation.  They frequently do not show up especially after Mr. Carr has received a large payment from you.  In other words they take the money and run.  he is an Angie's List member claiming an Angie's List discount but doesn't honor it.  He claims to be bonded and insured and that is a lie.  The reputation is that he is the worst electrician in the city.  He took materials he was supposed to return.  Damage estimate $50k. Do not rely upon his inspector.  His inspector was an independent inspector who cannot be found anywhere and after the inspector came to tell where to install smoke detectors he charged an additional $2000k.  Circuit breaker box was rewired wrong with incorrect wires.  Cheaper wire substituted for proper wires and was supposed to change the third phqase wiring in the box and said the air conditioning man wsa responsible for this.  I had several other electricians come out and they said that was his job.  He also tried to get out of paying for what he was responsible for including metal faceplates.  Electricity is intermittent, lights flicker, work ar from completed, old wires left in the walls.  Code was 1 wire per hole he put as many as 3 wires in a hole.  Took my personal romex wiring and used it before using/buying the wire he was supposed to provide and other wiring which I owned.  He took my outdoor GFI that he was responsibloe for and I was supposed to have refunded.  He took those and waasn't supposed to.  His helpers destroyed personal property such as stomping on a new pair of Steve Madded pattened leather shoes.  Jury-rigged wiring throughout the house.  Did not inspect his helper's work, when he as a journeyman was tchnically a journeyman himself and not a master's electrician. The entire job was a fraud.
