The quote process took a little back and forth with the sales person. Not ideal, but we eventually got everything ironed out.
The electrician, Greg, was punctual, professional, and knowledgeable. After completing the job we asked if he had a little extra time to help with a 2-pole outlet we had upgraded ourselves that wasn't working properly. He didn't have time as he needed to head to the next job, but he helped troubleshoot what he thought the problem might be as he packed up. Greg was spot on with his recommendation and we were able to fix the issue ourselves. How's that for top notch service!
This was our second time using "Pieper" electric and we look forward to using them in the future.
Everything works, but...
Estimate Several emails with questions about CAT6 didn't get replied or answered. Estimate wasn't broken down per project. I was initially told the CAT6 runs were $100-125 per run, but upstairs might be challenging, so I would assume that run would cost more, but I had no idea how that broke down. I was never advised I would need a longer HDMI cable. It became apparent the company knows little about data cables, no options, info, or advice offered to accomplish the goals. I needed an additional CAT6 switcher and power line networking adapters.
Installation Installer admitted he didn't know much about data cables. He seemed to want to take the easiest path for him, even if it wasn't what I asked. He suggested running cable to the 2nd floor was very difficult, and seemed to not want to do it. He was interrupted with a safety inspection, nice to see but it took time away from the project, he complained about it, and then later shed the safety equipment he was told to wear.
Installer didn't clean up any mess. There may have been some confusion, as my wife needed one room set back up before kids woke from naps, but he didn't even ask about the other 2 locations that needed cleaning.
I ended up rerouting the CAT6 wires in the basement to a better location.
Follow up Only a minor amount was subtracted due to canceling the 2nd floor run, though that seemed like the biggest part of the job. I understand that might have to do with how many physical lines were run, but I was clear with how many terminals I wanted per room, that should have been figured out during the estimate process, nor is the cost reflected on either the estimate or invoice. Nothing was reduced for the installer not cleaning up.
I requested assistance in ?finishing the job? to fish a longer HDMI cable through the wall, as I lack the tool?s or experience. I was told that wouldn?t be a problem, and asked my schedule. I replied with my schedule and have not heard from the company since. I purchased fish wire and did it myself.
Hopefully they actually show up next week Wednesday to finish the job. This will look bad for the builder as well when I fill out their review....as they contracted them
"The electrician who was working on this job proved unreliable and is no longer working with the company. He did not give a good representation of the standard of work our company typically performs. A crew was sent out to complete the work at the next scheduled appointment."
And it wasn't even too expensive. I thought the price was reasonable given the materials he used (he supplied outlets, breaker etc.) and the amount of time he was here.
EXTREMELY happy with this company. I realize they might not always be able to schedule same day but this experience was as good as it gets for the building trades.
I will be having more work to do as we redecorate the house room by room and I will ABSOLUTELY call this company again.
I had never heard of this company before, just found them on Angie's List this morning and was encouraged by their ratings & comments.
