"We appreciate your taking time to give us a great review. We hope to keep you as a customer and continue the same quality of service"
"Please read response below.. We feel that this is a very unfair review as it deals mainly with a scheduling issue which for the most part was out of our control. All issues about the actual work were dealt with promptly. There were no drawings provided for this job to go by. We did miss some of the items on the list, however, when notified of this, we scheduled a return visit as soon as our schedule allowed to take care of the missed items. As far as the three-way switch being on the wrong side of the doorway, we truly believe and it is unfortunate, but I think this was a miscommunication between the estimator/field superintendent and the homeowner regarding the switch location. The switch was installed in the location that was discussed between the home owner and the estimator at the time of the estimate appointment. After being notified of the issue, we promptly returned to take care of the problem. As for the holes, most were left in the ceiling but some did fall behind the wall as they were being cut. Yes, there were a few that were not usable. This information came from the technician that was on the job site. We had conflicting information from the county and from Pepco regarding proper procedure. Because we were relocating the meter socket from the back of the house to the side of the house, Pepco told us we needed a TPF (Temp Pending Final) inspection prior to them scheduling a "work with". The county told us we needed a "work with" first. We could not wire the new electrical panel with our new service because we needed the old service cable, which was still "hot" from Pepco, to continue to power the house. We finally got the right answers from both parties (Pepco is not easy to get a hold of) and then proceeded to schedule the finalization of this part of the job as soon as Pepco and our schedule would allow. The problem with knowing when an inspection is scheduled for is we do not find out the time until the morning of inspection and that is only if the inspector answers his/her phone or calls back after leaving a message. Once we found out the time, we did send an employee to meet the inspector. However, once we were notified that the inspector arrived prior to us getting to the house and the homeowner had already let him in, we stopped the employee because there was no reason for the employee to continue to the house. Unfortunately, Pepco is not the most reliable in returning phone calls or even just answering the phone. We did our best in staying on top of them. We leave messages and wait for a return phone call, we then will call back a few days later, sometimes needing to leave yet another message to only wait for another period of time. This phone call battle can sometimes take a week or more. We know it's frustrating for customers, but this is where our hands are tied dealing with Pepco. Again, this is where Pepco does not give you solid answers and they will not just schedule a job. Pepco does not always give us the correct information. It would be nice if we had strings to pull with Pepco. Our invoice does say in the "terms column" - Due Upon Receipt. We were simply trying to close out a job that, for us, took way to long as well."
The provider hadn't counted on the extra small space between my ceiling and attic floor, and therefore there was a slight delay while "slim" variants were ordered and supplied to the electrician on site, but it added no more than a day to the job, and likewise when some of the supplied trims were found to be broken on delivery, the electrician received and installed the extra trim a few days after finishing the main job. It was all done with excellent communication and a great attitude from the electrician performing the work.
Superb contractor, and I'd definitely recommend to anyone looking for electrical work.
Tomato Electric are superb! The initial consultation was great. Paul came for a consultation. he was very knowledgeable and very professional. I had a huge list and he was very patient with me. Some of the things I had on the list were ideas, and he had excellent advice.
Then the guys came to start the work -- and oh my goodness the attention was unparalleled! I felt like all of Tomato Electric came to my house, from team leaders, to supervisors, to electricians that did the work. I felt so important!
Joe, Peter, and Daniel were super! they came in and immediately started working. charging through my really long list. Joe digested a lot of information, as I quickly went through my list and my "demands" - as I rushed out to take the kids to school. They were able to do most of the work in just two days.. and I went to work on both days, leaving them to work in peace! I trusted them from the moment they came in, simply because Joe was open minded, attentive, and had lots of good advice.
the fans were super complicated to install, since the rooms have vaulted ceilings with a massive slope -- they prepped the work, set it all up, told me that I need to get an extension -- very clear instructions :-) and as soon as Amazon delivered, Joe and Peter were back -- and sure enough.. the fans are up and working so beautifully!
I hope I remembered all the names right! but in any case, they were all fabulous! and I already have a new list for them to come back and work on :-) :-)
Really liked working with them all and would highly recommend Tomato Electric - in fact, I already did!
