J P ELECTRIC

On July 11, 2011, J. P. Electric's technician came to repair the line to a front-yard security light that had been improperly installed by another electric company and, later, cut by an irrigation technician. He came as agreed, worked diligently, and repaired the damage successfully. The charge was $747.50. I don't know if this was reasonable; I was just very pleased and relieved to have the problems solved.  And I was pleased with the work.  During this work, we discussed how a security light could be installed in my back yard.  
On August 8, 2011, I got an estimate of $797.00 from the company for that second job.
 
I write this review because I feel so strongly aggrieved about the service received in that second job. But I do have one reservation: I'm confident that this is the correct company, but I cannot swear to it. Specifically, at the time the work was performed, the address of the company was 135 Robeson Street, Fayetteville, NC 28301; phone number 867-7700. The city was claiming the right of eminnent domain and taking this property.  By the time I gave up trying to solve my problem with J. P. Electric, the company and that address had disappeared. Eventually, through Angie's List, I found J. P. Electric at 6936 Timbercroft Lane, Fayetteville, NC 28314; no phone number listed.  And I have been unable to find a new phone number, or tie the old phone number to this new address without paying a fee.  Since I know this is a lost cause, and I have lost enough money in dealing with this company, I refuse to pay more in order to do that.
I do not know what happened between the time of the first job J. P. Electric completed satisfactorily in July, 2011, and the disasterous second job they completed in May, 2012.  But it was a painful, degrading, and expensive experience  for me:  one that I would hope no one else would be subjected to.
