 + -1 moreTHIS WAS A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. HE DID NOT DO AS PROMISED (ORALLY OR WRITTEN). THE PHONE LINES WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO JUST BE TERMINATED AT THE BOX BY THE PHONE CO. WHERE JIM HICKS WOULD LABEL THE THREE DIFFERENT LINES. NOT. HE WAS TO INSTALL CEILING FANS. NOT. HE SUBBED IT TO A HANDYMAN WHILE HE LEFT TO DO ANOTHER JOB. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO INSTALL A QUAD PLUG IN THE GARAGE. NOT. HE SUBBED IT TO ANOTHER (GOOD) ELECTRICIAN. HE ALSO NEVER FIXED THE OPEN WIRES IN THE ATTIC. WE HAD TO FINALLY HIRE SOMEONE ELSE TO FINISH UP HIS WORK. THIS GUY HAS WAY TOO MANY PERSONAL PROBLEMS TO HAVE TIME TO RUN HIS BUSINESS PROPERLY. PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY WITH HIM.
Description of Work: WE CONTRACTED TO HAVE SEVERAL TELEPHONE LINES RUN TO DIFFERENT ROOMS IN AN OLDER HOUSE WE HAD RECENTLY BOUGHT, 3 CEILING FANS INSTALLED, A QUAD RECEPTACLE ADDED IN THE GARAGE AND A COUPLE OF OPEN WIRE JUNCTION BOXES FIXED IN THE ATTIC. JIM WAS POLITE AT FIRST BUT COULDN'T SEEM TO FIT US INTO HIS PERSONAL SCHEDULE. HE WOULD SAY ONE THING AND DO ANOTHER. HE SUBBED MOST OF THE WORK TO ANOTHER ELECTRICIAN FRIEND AND ONLY SHOWED UP TO 'FINISH UP' A FEW LOOSE ENDS AND COLLECT HIS PAYMENT. WHEN THE PHONE COMPANY CAME TO HOOK UP THE NEW PHONE LINES, WE FOUND THAT HE HADN'T EVEN CONNECTED THE WIRES OR LABELED THE LINES LIKE HE HAD SAID HE WOULD DO. I CALLED HIM AND HE DID COME OVER QUICKLY, BUT QUICKLY GOT ANGRY AND BELLIGERENT WITH THE PHONE REPAIRMAN BECAUSE HE (PHONE GUY) WOULDN'T WIRE THE PHONES FOR HIM. ONE OF THE LINES HAD FALLEN BACK INTO THE WALL AND HE WOULDN'T GO INTO THE ATTIC AND RE-PULL IT EITHER. HE ENDED UP LITERALLY RUNNING AWAY AS I CALLED AFTER HIM TO FINISH THE JOB!
