"Great. We have been using Chris for quite a while. For our outdoor lightning needs and also internet wiring. Would definitely recommend his company. They have been great to work with."
"Terrible (but good!). The terrible part was making multiple phone calls over a two month period but never getting a call back to get an estimate and scheduling an appointment. Finally, called and got the owner, David. He was very negative and admitted that to me when he called back to apologize. Of course there not everything has a 100% guarantee in life, but all I want was a similar antenna installed like the first one 10 years ago pointing in the same directions to cover sets in my kitchen/DR. The original one has worked well (95% of the time) picking up not only line-of-site PBS stations in Washington (Weta and WHUT), but also the outstanding MPT channels from Annapolis. The "Good" outcome was that I tried an extra indoor antenna that I had in storage and hung up on a pendant lamp hanging 10-12 feet' in my kitchen, and then pointing it in the same direction as the one on the chimney using a compass on a CP app and fine tuning with MPT. The Annapolis station comes in clearly, plus dozens of the usual broadcast channels. Problem solved in less than 2 hrs with a little ingenuity and using my outdoor extension ladder indoors, some white cable, white duct tape and white cable hangers. It is sad the the nation's capital does not have any competition in this business."
"I had hired an electrician in the past to replace an outside electrical box and was surprised to learn that the industry average for any home visit was a flat $300. When I saw the Angie's List special $99 for $200 worth of work, I jumped on this great deal. I only had two minor issues to resolve...I had recently replaced the light bulbs on the front porch lights and with a couple weeks one stopped working, I assumed there was a loose wire. The tech removed the fixture and determined the connections were good and only needed to replace the bulbs. And I had a light switch in the kitchen that was not working, the tech replaced the switch. When the work was complete the tech told me that I exceeded the $200 worth of work and his flat fee for the work performed was $279, plus $5 for the switch. I ended up paying an additional $84 for this deal. "
"After doing our homework, my wife and I selected Mega Kitchen and Bath for complete remodels of our master bath and hall full bath. We could not have made a better decision as the entire process was flawless. Katherine, a Certified Interior Decorator, was so patient and helpful with our selections. Felipe, the project manager, came by almost every day. Not that he needed to, because the installers (Johnny and Grover) were courteous and extremely hard working. The project was completed on schedule and the quality of the work was such that we did not have any punch lists items once the baths were completed. I would recommend Mega Kitchen and Bath in a heartbeat. You can’t go wrong."
"George and his crew did a great job upgrading my basement bath with a new sliding glass tub door and tub/shower fixtures. They also did electrical work in my kitchen, adding a new outlet. They were on time, hard-working, honest, polite, and did exactly what I needed. I feel they went above and beyond & will definitely call them again for future work!"
"Marshall and his crew are professional, brilliant and true craftsmen, they bring a lifetime of experience, knowledge and wonderful insight. From the moment the project began Marshall and his team kept us up to date on the progress and process. I have complete trust in Marshall and he often provides suggestions that end up saving time and money, he is a true class act. We had them install cork flooring in an outdated carpeted bedroom, they created a kitchen cabinet/counter and dishwasher island to expand the utility of our small kitchen. The touches they added such as wine racks and custom built cabinets made a huge difference and give the kitchen practicality, functionality and style. They even worked to help us convert a large hall pantry into a powder room, from the fixtures, to the plumbing, Marshall ensured everything was spot on!"
"The work was done quickly and professionally. They remodeled two bathrooms in approximately two weeks. We couldn't be happier about the finished product or the value we received for our money."
"It went well, mostly. The contractor made suggestions based on unforeseen issues, and it came together. My only complaint is with the location of the fixtures. In one bathroom I replaced one large single fixture with two fixtures and asked for them to be centered over the sinks. Rather than centering each fixture over each sink, he centered them within the span of the sinks. Yikes! I chalked it up to my instructions not being explicit enough. "
Chandelier Installation questions, answered by experts
Installing a light fixture usually takes about one to two hours for a standard ceiling-mounted fixture, and longer for more extensive installations. The installation time can vary depending on the type of fixture, whether you’re installing a new fixture or replacing an old one, and any additional wiring or drywall work required to finish around the new fixture. When hiring an electrician to install your light fixture, ask them to provide a time estimate based on the specifics of your project.
Believe it or not, you have more options for outdoor kitchen lighting than you do inside. While you can opt for a pendant light or under-counter or cabinet lighting, everything from tiki torches to LED twinkle lights are also fair game. Just make sure that all electrical fixtures, including lighting, are rated for humid and damp conditions before spending money on them.
