Was an overall good experience.
Description of Work: The tech removed an outlet and some wiring in my basement so I could perform renovations, and relocated a switch for an outdoor light. Work was clean, price was more than I expected for the work that was needed, but with limited knowledge of the cost of electrical work, I assume it was on par. Staff was courteous and responded quickly and on time.

Description of Work: Changed both (2) ballasts and all (4) tubes in fixture. Although new parts are needed for this work, the electrician arrived without any new tubes. When asked why, the electrician replied that if carried on the truck the tubes break. In spite of my protests, I was charged for the time the electrician spent travelling to buy new tubes which he transported in his truck. The same job done by another electrician cost me $90 a year or two ago. (That electrician has since retired.)

Response from Kolb Electric Inc
I have spoken with the manager in this office and I was told that the customer was not charged for the travel time required to get the materials on this job. We carry many parts on our trucks but, unfortunately, it is impossible to carry all parts. But, because the administrative staff member did not get specific information regarding the bulbs from the customer, we decided not to charge the customer for the time required to go to the supply house. This customer was only charged for the time on site and the materials on this job. Again, we try and be as fair as possible but, unfortunately in this matter we were unable to make the customer happy.

We are a bit surprised that the customer rated this a "C" for price as it was purchased through a blast. We believe that the price is very fair.
