"Jim arrived right on time. He immediately commented on the difficulty of doing the project. He told me that he would have to make a lot of holes in the dry wall (on the ceiling). We went to the basement to see if the work could be done there easier. He took one of the current recessed lighting fixtures out and determined that he would have to make not just four holes for the lights but extra holes as our home's structure did not make the addition of new lighting easy. We went back upstairs to reconsider the room that currently has no overhead lighting. He said he'd have cut some holes before he would know exactly how difficult it would be but that was not the problem....I just needed to understand that the ceiling (and one hole in the wall) would then need to be fixed. The company does have a handyman division but Jim didn't know anymore about it other than they provided free estimates.
I phoned Walls Electrical Services and got Brian. He politely told me that generally the cost is about $250 a hole. I couldn't believe it! Brian then said that it might not that much in total but whatever it was, the cost would begin at $250. Jim told me that he was going to have to make a number of cuts and it would be "messy" - which I took to mean he didn't know how many cuts it would be and that he would have to cut a hole thru each tressel (I think that is it - they are the studs in the ceiling) to wire one light to the other. With that on my mind, I asked Brian if I could cancel the job. He said I could but it would cost me a fee for Jim coming out. I asked how much. He quoted a price he said was his commercial price, then asked when Jim had arrived (he had been in my home for less than an hour
