I had estimates from other contractors for the same work. Dave's estimate was higher but his experience and manner made it easy for me to decide to get him to do the job. On the day of installation, he arrived on time. He installed 4 fluorescent fixtures with electronic ballasts on my garage ceiling and a 5th one over my bench area, also in the garage. He exchanged an existing 2-gang outlet for a 4-gang and on/off switch for the 5th light. The 4 lights were controlled by a motion sensing switch. This switch was not the correct one when installed and he returned to replace it with one that worked better.
I would certainly use him again.
The work in the garage, even though not a living space, was performed very neatly with a minimum number of cutouts to assist in threading the wires during installation. The cut-outs were replaced neatly with screws to keep them in place, dimpling the drywall enough to be ready for patching by me (the homeowner).
The wood strips in the basement were both glued and nailed or screwed into the concrete to prevent them from moving or falling with the receptacle set at the correct height and depth to allow for future drywall finishing. All wiring was neatly accomplished and attached with a minimum number of bore-holes through the rafters.
The work in the kitchen and den was incredible. Will/Bill's attention to detail and effort in carefully cutting out the holes for the recessed lights so as to not break the drywall was very much appreciated and in one case where the ceiling had been patched before and began to crumble, he was able to re-patch it so well, it was not visible to the naked eye. He succeeded in using only one extraneous square cutout in the kitchen to feed wiring - all the other cut-outs were cut in the garage-side wall facing the kitchen and den. While it took a bit longer to complete the task, the end result was much less damaging to the interior, and that attention to detail was extremely appreciated. He was able to use one of the ceiling circular cutouts for one of the recessed lights to patch the hole left by the fluorescent light fixture. I was able to use a minimum of patch compound to seal the edges and match the rest of the textured ceiling and prime it (yet to be painted). It is undetectable.
I highly recommend Autumn Electric to anyone in the area.
I did not retain Automn Elelctric because I ended up finding another good professional who was cheaper, but I would recommend contacting Automn Electric for a quote.
Update: arrived on time, great service.
Highly recommend.
I came into this appointment really jaded over a bad experience I had with a different company a week earlier, where they said over the phone that the issue was resolved, only for me to see the stove plugged into an electric cord still. Thank you, Autumn Electric!
"(member name removed), Glad to be of service. Sorry to hear you had a jaded experience before calling on us. Thanks for the great comments and we look forward to serving you with any electrical needs you may have in the future. Feel free to call on us with any electrical questions or concerns. Respectfully, Dave Barsotti President Autumn Electric Co., Inc"
The day of the installation, electricians arrived on time and I showed them around, they determined what they needed to do and explained to me exactly what they were going to do. I know enough about electrical work to get myself into trouble, so I was interested in learning. I'm not one of those people who tell someone, "just do it, and I'll pay you." I want to know what they're doing.
What they had to do was attach a line to the breaker box in our basement and bring it OUTSIDE, under the side porch running all along the house, then up and along the chimney and roof (it's inside weather-approved or whatever it's called PVC conduit) in order to bring it into the back bedroom. They then continued on to the other bedroom. Luckily, our house is a Cape and we have two little storage spaces with sliding doors next to the windows. So outlet installation was pretty easy and I'm so glad, because it made it easier and cleaner for them and cheaper for us.
The works looks great, and you can hardly even tell that they added conduit. I feel safe, knowing that my little 5000 BTU (they're small!) window units aren't frying my regular lines and I had complete faith in Autumn's work. Whenever we are able to renovate and expand our house, I would definitely call Autumn again. All three gentlemen I encountered were professional, nice and friendly, knowledgable and efficient. And they took the time to explain everything to me, without treating me like an idiot.
"(member name removed), Thanks for the great review. It was a pleasure working for you and we look forward to working wih you again in the future. All the best, Dave Barsotti Autumn Electric Co., Inc."
