He behaved very irrationally and violent for no reason. Tools that belonged to my other contractor disappeared, and he would leave projects incomplete and not return. His estimates would change during the process. In the beginning, he was polite, but it just kept getting worse and worse.

The project went horribly bad. The provider seemed to have rough edges from the start, but given the offer came from Angie's List, we assumed he must be reliable. He struggled to install the exhaust, did NOT create a vent for the exhaust, and had to break through a lot of dry wall, which eventually did not get finished up properly, ending up with patches that look really bad, and an exhaust fan that blows air out to the attic, with no vent! I have photos and scanned receipts too!

He had no right to put anything on it that was not required or discussed with me. I have taken pictures and have sent them to him, he has not responded to any contact what-so-ever. When he first did the job, I had to ask that he redo it because it was not right and he then proceeded to add the stain which was not necessary or asked of him. I now have to come out of more money and he has ruined the job.

Everything was satisfactory. They were prompt. They came out when they were scheduled. They were on time. So everything was fine there. We had to buy a new lamp post top. There was additional cost for supplies, which I understood. They did everything they were supposed to do. They probably could have communicated ahead of time a little bit better.

<p>He arrived about 15 minutes earlier and went through the house to find out exactly what was needed for the job.  After the two hours I had him remain to complete the work I had to finish one floor of the house.  I also discussed him returning to the house to do other floors.</p> <p>Dave's began with the completion of wiring on three lights we had in the basement.  The old lighting was pulled and new wires run for outlets.  A few junction boxes that were old and had bad wires were pulled and the wiring that was replaced was pulled out so it didn't confuse us or interfere with the remaining work.</p> <p>After the switch for the lighting was installed and a plug that had to be taken out removed and replaced Dave's fixed the issues I had with my security light.</p> <p>Dave and his helper were polite, professional and proficient in getting the work done.  That is why I kept them on the job until the floor was finished.</p> <p><br /></p> <br />

"i dont understand i hung 2 old chandlers that were missing half of the crystals but hung them any way when i was done and she loved them her two hours ran out but told her that if she would like me to do more work i can and still will honor the 50 dollars an hour rate so showed up a couple days later to do more work at the 50 dollars an hour rate and asked her if she was happy with everything and she said yes she loved everything i even shoveled her dry way for free waiting on my apprentice to come back with a new dimmer switch and offered me a job to hang up her back splash in the kitchen i take pride in every job i do so i am confused that the Chandler and the fan were hung up for at least 3 days before i showed up with new dimmer switches and she said she loved everything and when i did come back to install the dimmer switches i only charged her for the price of the dimmer switches and on the second day i was there for an hour but only charger her for a half hour of time"

Service provider was prompt in returning message and phone call and showed up on time.  The work went slow due to multiple complications in the old wiring.  He suggested replacing 2 of the fixtures with LED lighting and went over to Home Depot to purchase the fixtures with my approval and then installed them.  He also gave me an estimate on some bathroom ceramic tile work as he says he can do any type of handyman work.  He was here over 3 hours, including the trip to Home Depot, but did not charge me for the extra time.  Since then, one of the light fixtures he repaired has broken again and I will call him back to fix it again as he said to call him if any problems. <br />

b.He did not finish the job and did not return calls when ask to response. The young man was not organized and and changed times on me often. He did not stay to his time schedule. He was very poor at performing his job. <br />
Response from Dave's Electric
"i was not poor in performing my job customer bought 3 phase wire instead of 1500 amp service line with grey jacket and when they didn't have that he up the amps more by buying 200 amp 3 phase wire at the top of the service line there is suppose to be a cup but the cup the customer had from the old one did not fit i texted him and told him i could be out on the 8th with a bigger one but never heard from him again and if i was not in the hospital when he called and texted i would of answered and bought him the right cap but when i got out i texted him to tell him i could be by the 8th with a new one all he said was really like i was lying being in the hospital and the second thing i was on time i only worked there one day"

Could not be happier with Dave's Electric.  He was friendly, prompt, efficient, and I feel confident that the work was done right.  My house is very old with very old wiring.  Dave took the time to do things the right way so we wouldn't have any more issues with our wiring.  I will absolutely hire him again for future projects.  Thanks again, Dave.  We love our new lights and it's so nice to have a working doorbell again! <br />

     The lights accenting the front of our house were 15 years old and only a couple of them were working.  Because the shrubbery in front of the house had grown, the remaining lights weren't tall enough to throw much light at all.  We needed a new solution.  Dave was extremely prompt with contacting me and returning all calls made in an effort to coordinate schedules.  He arrived exactly when he said he would and worked for 6 hours.  I had to be at school the day he came so my husband stayed home.  Because this project was so important to me, I wanted to speak with Dave after he took a look at what we currently had so I called him from school. He explained very clearly what he thought we should do.  Both my husband and I agreed so Dave went to our local Lowe's to buy a different type of light.  He also installed a more efficient power source.  He said he would save our old lights that were still working so that we could run more wiring off what he was going to install if we wanted to use the old lights to light up another area of the yard.  By the time I got home that evening, it was already dark.  When I pulled up to our house, I had to stop the car and just sit there and look!  The lighting was spectacular.  The house never looked so good!  I had to call Dave and tell him what a fabulous job he had done.  There was another surprise.  He had me walk outside and showed me how he had gone ahead and taken our old lights and installed them to light the side of the house and some shrubbery in the front yard!  WOW!! <br />      I had briefly mentioned that our chandelier in the entry way always flickered when we turned it on and that there was a prong broken off a cord that was sticking in one of our electrical outlets on our deck.  He took the time to fix both of those things also.   <br />      For the extra 4 hours of work, Dave charged us only the Angie's List deal rate which was $40.00 an hour--what a bargain.  Everything about this job was done professionally and my husband said that Dave is a "really nice guy."  We have already spoken to him about coming back in the spring to work on a project in our backyard.   <br />      This was my second experience with Angie's List providers.  Both were outstanding.  I will always come to Angie's List first for our future needs. <br />

Dave, came right out to diagnose and fix non-functionng outlets. He was meticulous in his approach, and quick in finding the problem. He fixed problem with extra added measures to prevent from reoccuring.  <br /> No concerns with upgrading the light fixture and was attentive to customer requests for fixture customization. <br /> He came back after the job was done to problem solve an electrical problem with HVAC. <br />

Dave answered my call and we scheduled an appointment for him to come out and see if he could troubleshoot the breaker issue I was having. Dave and his helper, Sam, arrived on time and went right to work. They tested the circuit and pulled out the breaker in the panel to inspect it and removed the 4 plugs on the circuit to inspect the wiring. They ended up re-wiring two of the plugs including the GFI plug and determined that the way they were wired could have been causing the breaker to trip. They finished in about an hour and Dave even followed up the next day to see if the breaker had tripped. It has not so issue resolved. I would highly recommend Dave's electric and will definitely be using them in the future. Very professional and very reasonable rates. <br />
