Get matched with top electricians in Carleton, MI

"a friendly PSA not to let these clowns displace your family for asbestos abatement. This is long but I wish I would've known. For starters, we left our home to begin the process and my neighbors said they did not see any work trucks or employees at our home for over a week. Which, sure I'll give them the benefit of the doubt- permits and whatnot- but why wasn't that handled before we even left our home? They will not treat your home or property with respect in your absence, will not communicate with you to effectively coordinate your extended stay (you will probably have to get your insurance agent to three-way call them for some accountability), and then when you finally actually do move back home (with permission) after being forced to relocate TWICE due to their lack of communication and organization, you will come home to your linens/belongings in black trash bags from floor to ceiling in your dining room. The furniture will be completely disassembled. Your home will look like it has been ransacked. Trash and dust will be everywhere along with mud and whatever else the employees track in. (Yes they offered to clean the entire house after I showed him pictures, BUT THE WHOLE POINT OF US BEING OUT OF THE HOUSE FOR 6 WEEKS IN THE FIRST PLACE WAS FOR THEM TO CLEAN IT TOP TO BOTTOM (two weeks of which were an extension! Cleaning is why they supposedly needed to remove all of our belongings and linens FFS). Here's the kicker- they'll "forget" to have the air ducts cleaned until you question them on the condition of your house. Please, make it make sense- uncleaned air ducts upon move in...even though we supposedly needed to be displaced to have our home cleaned because of the asbestos dust everywhere...because a plumber drilled into the basement...where the furnace is...which distributes the (supposedly) contaminated air throughout the house. I don't get it. I don't understand why our insurance had to dish out money to place us in an airbnb then a hotel (with our young child and puppy) if they weren't going to do what seems like the most basic aspects of asbestos abatement ??? but hey I'm not a pro. I'm also not dumb. After that they'll ghost you while trying to figure out where they threw your fiber ethernet cord and child's furniture. Bonus points for not ensuring our linens were sent out to be cleaned until the day we were supposed to move home, so we had to purchase new ones until we finally got everything back almost one month later. The women I interacted with on the phone were friendly and as helpful as they could be, but Adam (our point of contact for the project) seems to be generally incompetent. I would never treat someone's belongings or home in the manner this company did. It's hilarious (and pathetic) this dude has the nerve to drive around in a truck with "cleaning and restoration" next to his name while leaving peoples' homes in worse condition than when they left. I'd be happy to update with pictures, perhaps I will, but for now I'm not wasting anymore energy on this bozo."

"We've had Grizzly Electric do many projects for us, from barns to house remodels, over the last 15 years, and they have never been anything but top notch and professional!!!"

"Eric (business owner) came HIGHLY recommended after restoring a house fire with similar levels of severe damage with a homeowner we know personally just raving about Eric and his company. Eric was highly professional and adept at navigating the insurance process. He knew how to communicate with the adjusters to ensure that reimbursements provided the funding needed to properly repair the home- no easy feat. He also was extremely helpful in general with navigating the insurance process for personal possessions (not related to what his company takes care of) and took the extra step of photographing all of our possessions prior to removal so it would be easier for me to properly list everything for insurance submission. Be sure to ask him questions about tips on working with the insurance company- saved me a ton of work of doing things multiple times or missing a lot of information that might have resulted in the insurance not reimbursing. Frankly, I was initially so skeptical that he could possibly repair the home that we planned on moving out and purchasing a new home. We have severe allergies and asthma that require frequent trips to the ER, and it seemed inconceivable at the time he could mediate all of the intense smoke and yuck fumes in the home. He did though, and did it extremely well. There is ZERO trace of any fire damage. The restoration turned out beautifully and the entire house presents now like a beautiful new build. My daughter and I joke that Eric might be OCD due to tiny little details that we would not have bothered even to mention catching his eye, and he personally would fix or make the adjustments needed for a perfect completion. Our home was utterly transformed. He has before and after pictures- ask to see them. They are mind-blowing. His "soft skills" are also commendable. Of course you want a contractor with skills for the hands-on work which he has. But he also excels at dealing both with the adjusters and mortgage company while also being skilled at dealing with homeowners who are stressed and clueless how the whole process works. Insurance did not want to reimburse initially for our fireplace, replacing electrical, new siding and many more expensive repairs- he always knew what to do so that needed repairs would eventually get approved. There were a slew of decisions to constantly make. He had the ability to listen to rather vague generalizations from us about choices and absolutely pinpoint what we wanted even when we didn't really know what we wanted. He knows how to pace the process so you are not overwhelmed with everything all at once. I most appreciate his commitment to ensuring that the allergies and asthma concerns were addressed and consistently ensured his workers every step of the way took care of any potential concerns resulting in the home being entirely stripped of anything that triggers allergies/asthma. Not easy given our three biggest triggers of asthma are smoke, dust and mold and even tiny amounts are hugely problematic for us. At the end, he completed the work on the timeline he originally discussed. He will give you his best estimate- a sincere and authentic estimate of how long he thinks it will take and he was spot on. Another important note is that he completed the entire job within budget with the funds reimbursed from our insurance, so no nasty out-of-pocket surprises at the end. In summary, finding a contractor who does what he promises, does it well, does it on budget and in the time frame promised is not a mythical unicorn. Eric is your guy and I cannot recommend this company highly enough- especially if you are dealing with a fire issue. Our lives have returned to normal, except now in this beautiful home :)"
