Get matched with top ring installation pros in Malba, NY

"Mr Ali did a wonderful job wiring my attic and installing a bathroom exhaust fan. He was courteous and prompt. I recommend him highly!"

"Apologize in advance for the length of this review, but it was my very
first time contracting any work of this kind, and my experience was
complicated.
|Chris came about a month beforehand to survey the job and give us the
estimate. He was punctual and very courteous and professional. When we
got the estimate the next day it was quite a bit more than I was
expecting, but really I had no frame of reference and figured it was
probably fair given the amount of work involved.
|I had held off on buying the fans, wall controls and other fixtures
because I was not confident in choosing the correct items for everything
and figured that Chris could advise. He showed me online exactly what
we needed for the track light so that was no problem, but he said we
needed remote control transmitters for the ceiling fans. I had no idea
what those looked like or how to get them, but figured I would probably
find them at Home Depot with no problem, along with everything else. But
the Home Depot salespeople didn't know what I was talking about. So I
emailed Chris back to ask where I could find them, or could Altman
Electric source them and just add them to the bill? No response. I then
learned more about lighting and electricity than I ever wanted to know
in finding the correct wall switches and fan controls, such as that you
can't use a multi-location switch on a single-pole thingie. Who knew? I
called Lutron, the company that makes the wall controls I wanted to use
to ask them which ones would work, and got help from their customer
service team. Found attractive Lutron fan controls that came with
transmitters, but in the course of my research, read that a seven-level
control for a 3-speed fan would produce annoying noise. Emailed Chris
again to ask if ithat was usually a problem in his experience. Again no
response. I go ahead and order the controls from the Home Depot website,
hoping they will be okay, then later finally get an email from Chris
saying that they will not, in fact, be good for the job, so I had to
return them and find different ones; ones which, again, I got no help in
finding.
|The only other remote controls I found - online or in stores - were
ones that got bad consumer reviews, came with lead warnings, or had been
discontinued altogether. I got the Hunter remotes; the ones with bad
consumer reviews. I also got wired controls from Lutron in hopes that we
could install those instead.
|Very frustrating trying to get any guidance or help on this part, which
was a main reason why it was an entire month from estimate to work day.
At first I thought that my job must be small potatoes for them and that
that was why I wasn't getting the responses I needed,but then I saw
their other job sizes and charges on Angie's List and realized that it
was actually quite a sizeable chunk of work for them; at least in the
residential arena. Not complaining about the amount charged. It was a
lot of work. But relative to the size if the job, I didn't feel that I
was getting the help I needed with the material sourcing.
|On the day that the work was scheduled, Rafaello and Abdul arrived on
time with Chris and did a great job installing all the items. They both
were also gentle, courteous and professional.They were able to install
the first fan with a wired control and it continues to work like a
charm, along with almost everything else they installed. In regards to
the other fan, however, they said they had to install it with the remote
control because there wasn't enough wiring in the switch box for both
the fan and the light. The Hunter remote control works well for the fan,
but for the light it is every bit as unreliable as the online reviews
indicated, so I asked them to come back and hoped they could just
install a regular light switch next to the fan control. They said it
could not be done, again because of the lack of wiring, but one of the
guys suggested that a wire for the fan could in fact be run from the box
to the outlet to the fan/light without having to run a second wire mold
across the ceiling, but that they would have to come back and it would
be another half days' work.
|Well, this was what I'd wanted in the first place. Not really sure why
it didn't happen on the day that the rest of the work was done, except
that maybe the company just wanted to squeeze all the work into one day.
On the day I'd asked them back, I had already returned the second
wired fan control to the store, was about to have the drywall repair
& paint done and didn't want to hold up the rest of the work.
|When it came to the billing, there was some confusion about what the
final amount was. Jeanette was actually charging me less than the
estimate. That was of course great by me, but I wanted to know why the
discrepancy. I thought it might have been because I had supplied all of
the light dimmers even though they were included in the estimate, but
I'm guessing that wasn't it because she quickly adjusted her total to
match mine, and did not supply a reason as to why our totals differed. I
am still wondering how she got to her total and whether I'd missed
something. In all fairness though, the estimate did not include the
installation of the kitchen light fixture or the dimmer switches in the
kitchen & bathroom. I get the sense that those were thrown in
gratis and I appreciate that.
|I get why some reviewers have said she was rude to them. She does often
sound stressed when she answers the phone, but if you keep your own
voice even and neutral, she will respond in kind.
|All in all, I am happy with most of the actual work that was done. I
would probably even use them again based on the strength of their work
on site, but still think that they need to listen more carefully and to
be more responsive to clients' questions and concerns."

"The handling of the device was carefully handled and the installation was wonderfully fast and Super professional"

"I sent a request quote to Safe Streets and my phone was ringing within 1 minute. Impressed with the quick responsiveness. They are partnered with ADT which made our choice to get our alarm system through them a no brainer."

"Weâ ve hired M&J twice and they are fabulous. High-quality work and easy, clear communication. Do not hesitate in hiring them form your next project. Theyâ ve done the following projects in our home: door repair, doorknob installation, light fixture installation, and powder room renovation including removal of old tiles, wall skim coating, painting, and tile installation."

"Samir was a pleasure to work with. He contacted me last night to see what kind of work I needed done. He arrived early with fixtures and instead of installing two fixtures as we had discussed, he installed one and it’s beautiful. Samir is very professional and is easy to work with. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!"

"We hired Mark to install Ring doorbell, 2 Ring floodlight cameras and replace several tube lights with LED high-hats. The finished job looks excellent."

"Tremendous work! Very impress with my installation. Thank you Mr Tech!"

"Got tired of the buffering and low battery life with our Ring cameras. Have replaced them all with ADT cameras and the traditional ADT perimeter alarm system. So far – awesome! Should have done this much much sooner. Still figuring out all of the functions and capabilities with the ADT cameras but a massive upgrade."

"I used these guys for a remodeling job which included bathroom renovation, some minor electrical work, knocking down and installing new dry wall and painting. Class acts! We all hear horror stories about contractors not calling you back or not showing up on time or showing up at all. Not these guys! Hector, Moises and their crew really did exactly what they said they were going to do. Friendly, responsive and oh yea, solid work! Professional through and through! Highly recommend them and would use them again!"
