"If I could give TriUs ten stars, I would do so gladly. James Jones, Master Electrician called within minutes of my posting on HomeAdvisor. He came to the house the next morning, spent half a day updating our electrical, and other odd electrical jobs. We had spent almost two weeks without light in our kitchen and main bathroom. You can only imagine what I looked like after not having light to "do" my face each morning. Also, we had to place extension cords all over the kitchen in order to keep our refrigerator and freezer going. On top of all that, James fixed overhead lights, fan/lights, hallway lights, and my office light . . . all of which had stopped working years ago. James is not only gracious and an all around pleasant fellow, but he is an extraordinary electrician. My husband and I cannot say enough good things about James Jones and TriUs Electric, and strongly recommend this company to anyone who has issues with their electrical."

"Excellent worker and gets the job done!"

"Great service! The electrician did an excellent job installing our outdoor lighting and outlets. Professional, reliable, and everything came out great. Highly recommend!"

"The good:
- The people were friendly for the most part
- They did good work in some ways
- Their subcontractors did good work
- They gave us a quartz counter top "for free" for our desk
- They did a couple extra things without charging us
- Everything looks good (if you don't look too closely)
The bad:
- I did not like the communication in the beginning, but I hoped, based on the reviews they got, that they would do a good job. I was disappointed with a lot of things - see below.
- I had to prepare my own detailed cost estimate (based on their difficult to understand e-mails) and get them to let me know if my estimate was correct or not. They would only give me a lump sum price and very little detail on what I was getting.
- They seemed to have never worked with the Cabinet Factory before. It was almost impossible to get any information about the cabinets we bought prior to signing a contract. Neither Get It Done (GID) or the Cabinet Factory wanted to talk to us about them. In the beginning I asked for no fiberboard and ended up with lots of fiberboard. Also, GID apparently does not know what fiberboard is - they were trying to tell me the kick-boards were not fiberboard (they are). The cabinets seem pretty low quality although at the time I was told by the Cabinet Factory that the cabinets I was getting were good quality and approaching the cost of the high end cabinets. One of the sliders in the pantry broke right away because there was too much weight. I never had this problem with my previous cabinets.
- They used wax crayon as paint in many locations on the cabinets. This is bad because it is not intended as paint, it is sticky, and wipes off easily.
- They told me it would be $100 more per fixture (about $1000) for LED under cabinet lighting. I still don't understand why they say it costs that much more. The lights they installed get very hot.
- There was very little attention to detail. They were going to stop the peninsula cabinets about 6 inches short of the end of the floor tile. It would have looked really silly - fortunately, I caught it in time and got them to adjust it.
- They put two joints in my crown molding about 12 inches apart and did a poor job with the joints. It looks very bad.
- The painting of the walls was bad. They missed lots of areas and they wanted me to mark all the areas they missed for them.
- They did not plan out the closet desk and shelves well at all. I told them I wanted a shelf for a TV, and they gave me shelves that weren't wide enough. Then they rigged it to work after lots of discussion.
