Recently, I was contacted by the Frederick Manager, Lou and he took care of my concerns. We discussed future job opportunities in my home. I would recommend this company for their good work and customer service.
"We would like to personally, thank you for your kind review and for being such a loyal customer. - Kolb Electric"
Immediately I received a response back from Kolb Electronic instructing me to call so I can set up the time for Friday!
It get(s) better.....after calling to set up an appointment at a rate of $195 for the 1/2 hour and $45 every 1/2 hour after that.....
I received another call from a project manager who explained by me being an Angie's List member and the price I was quoted is wrong....and the new rate would be $85 for an hour. Too good to be true right......but Friday came and there was Kirk at my door promptly at 8:45am.....ready to work. Totally professional and efficient....explained everything to me about the type of Ceiling Fan
I had....and the functions of it.
Bottom line....incredible customer service and but also discovering the Real Benefits of being an Angie's Member just took it to another level.....this was my first year test with Angie's List....and honestly I was planning on cancelling my membership after my year was up....but with this recent situation with Kolb Electric....no cancellation here.
Thank you Kolb Electric and Thank you Angie!!!

Work itself was average. Failed to provide one of four light bulbs and installed the wrong dimmer (estimator stated that the sliding type of dimmer would be used because he "hates" the other type; however, the knob type dimmer was the one installed).
Professionalism and customer service were awful. I originally had them out to do an estimate for a somewhat larger scope of work, and the provided me with an estimate. When I decided to decrease the scope of the work, the estimator said he didn't need to come out and do a new estimate, since I would just be charged for time and materials and it would work out to be a few hundred less and my invoice would reflect that. Fine -- annotated in contract, paid deposit, and moved onto doing the job. After the job was done, I received an invoice for the original, full amount. Called the estimator and he assured me that he would adjust the invoice and I would get a new updated one. A week later I got the same, original invoice. Called him again, same story from the estimator, same result: got yet another original invoice reflecting the original amount. Called again, same result except this time Kolb electric had the audacity to try and charge me a late fee. I then called the main office, got the usual run around, until I finally got ahold of the estimator's supervisor. Ten days later I finally got an adjusted invoice (which still seemed a bit high and I don't trust as far as I can throw it); noticeably absent from the updated invoice was any sort of discount for having to spend almost six weeks to get it right, nor was there any sort of apology. The only conclusion I can draw from their lack of apology is that this is status quo for them and they were likely hoping I would just pay the full amount and not notice what was going on.
There are plenty of good electricians out there. Do not waste your time with these guys, especially for an average quality of work.
