Gaffney's was selected by my General Contractor as the head electrician for my new home construction. We conducted several lengthy and thorough electrical "walkthroughs" with the project manager. Upon review of the electrical install, over 1 dozen items were misplaced, miswired, or just plain forgotten about! I understood this is a lot of wiring and wanted to give them the benefit of a doubt, so I met with them again to walk them through what needed corrected. Just as during the first walkthough, they took notes and assured me "no more problems." Guess what.??.....they again failed to complete all the items on the list! At this point, I think they are just incompetent. I am not exaggerating, we had to meet w/ Mike and his employees over 6 times until they got everything correct. This includes us giving them written documentation of what needed corrected each time, as well as them taking their own notes!!! I estimate I wasted about 1 week of my time dealing with this terrible company, so I asked the owner, Mike Gaffney, for an adjustment on my bill since he and his people were soo unprepared, unreliable, and terrible at following simple directions. He refused to do anything to compensate me for my time away from work, etc.... although he did admit they screwed up alot of the job. That's very insulting and unprofessional and just shows you Mike Gaffney is "money hungry" and doesn't care about his customers. Lastly, we were told they would come back once we were moved into our new home to install a floor outlet. This would be done for free. Well, 2 months after moving in, we asked them to come back and install the floor outlet. They told us they would need to charge us over $100 just to drive back to our home to install the outlet. So again, they are showing their "money hungry" ways and not honoring their original promise. Also, our home is only 10 minutes away from their shop, so that charge is highway robbery!!! Only after I refused to pay it, did they come out and install the outlet as they had promised and they did it for free. Since moving into the home, I have found a couple loose wires to switches and a couple switch plates that don't lay flat against the wall. Luckily, I have some basic electrical abilities, so I fixed them myself. I don't want to ever see Mike Gaffney again. If you work with him, you will regret it.
