"David and Mike were given a variety of issues in our historic house to deal with including mystery switches, installing an outdoor plug, and solving ceiling fan issues. It required them to go under the house to solve two of these issues and they did it with ease and agility. Would hire them again in a heartbeat. Oh, and they were punctual and very courteous, especially with my nutty dogs."

"Good job.
Quality is acceptable if left on his own.
He was open to suggestions and followed instructions.
Job overall was good.
He doesn't do concrete very well, but was willing to follow instructions to improve
He offered to come back and fix ANYTHING that may show leaks or need repairs.
Even if it was a year later, he said.

...

A week has passed and I have found details here and there.
Unfortunately it's details reflecting on his skills, not on his good will.
I would not have him back to do a job that needs skilled craftsmanship.

We got a Dream Baths business card from a friend who got it from the owner's wife when they had a casual chat in the meat department in Walmart.  We knew that a bath renovation was in our plans but it took another year before we were ready to proceed.  Dream Baths was our first interview for the job.  We originally planned to contact several other firms but after showing Mr. Thornton what we wanted done and listening to his ideas and proposal, we knew he was the man we needed.

Mr. Thornton juggled his schedule around our travel and entertainment plans so it was a month before any work actually started.  He kept us informed throughout the ordering and arrival of the supplies and was always available to answer any questions that we had.  They picked up the new water heater and vanity top from Home Depot for us (at no charge).  When it wouldn't fit into the available space, they returned it and brought in one that would fit.

The work crew was wonderful - polite, caring, hard-working, and clean!  If any questions arose, they asked us what we wanted before proceeding.  This was not an easy job.  Our house is old and so are the plumbing and electrical systems.  Each time a problem arose, the crew figured out the solution.  Example:  how do you hang a chandelier in a bathroom that's only 8 feet tall? 

The only practical entry to the work area was through our bedroom.  The crew laid down floor coverings each morning and removed them at day's end.  They swept up any debris and dusted the furniture.  When the project was finished, we could move back into the work space without extensive cleaning.  That's a first for us with any remodeling project that we've ever done!

When it came time to settle our finances at the end of the project, I had projected at least $500-1,000 for extra work done.  Nope - Mr. Thornton said that there was no charge for the extras.  We only paid what was originally agreed upon.

We found several minor issues after the final payment (I needed my shower head raised higher and my husband had trouble replacing his shower head into the holder). Mr. Thornton and his crew have come back twice to make things right for us, even after getting all the money!  I definitely recommend this firm.

"They were very unorganized. They advertized a quality experience that they did not provide, especially concerning things like plumbing and electrical items. Some things we even had to help out with and tell them what to do. We had a hard time getting them to do the finishing touches and project touch-ups on the bathroom. Overall, I'm 90% happy with the job and the look of my bathroom but I would not use them again for anything. The tile work is good--it's not great but it's pretty good. There were some things that they didn't check. Also, they wouldn't want to work in the rain even though they were working inside our house. They made a mess on my back porch where they cut and painted stuff. I had to clean Sheetrock mud off my sliding glass door, and they never offered to vacuum. We had bought a really nice cabinet for them to put in there and they kept looking for the hardware for it. They called me and accused my teenagers of moving their hardware for the installation. The next day they found it, one of their own employees had moved it. There were a bunch of little things that added up to be larger things. I'm not totally dissatisfied with the work, the bathroom does look great. I just won't be using them for upcoming projects."

"They have always fixed the problems that we've had. Frustrations? Delays? At times. We live in a flawed world. But overall, service has been professional and well done. It has always been worth the monthly fee and deductibles. If you consider that most appliances today only last five years or so, breakdowns are going to be a given. Our most recent repair will require at least two service calls and an $1800 part. That more than pays for our entire year's fees."

FAQs for electrical switches, outlets & fixtures install or repair projects in Akron, AL

To select and hire an electrician for your light switch installation, start by evaluating candidates as you would for any skilled position. Ask detailed questions, request a written quote, and verify their licensing credentials. This careful screening prevents unexpected fees and ensures every aspect of the installation, including any drywall repairs, complies with code.

A light switch can malfunction due to compromised wiring or overheating conditions. Faulty connections and excess heat diminish the switch’s performance. If you hear crackling, popping, or hissing sounds when toggling the switch, this indicates active electrical faults that pose a safety hazard and demand immediate professional inspection. Prompt attention prevents further damage and ensures reliable operation.

Installing a light switch takes 30 minutes or less, on average. The installation time depends on the switch type, with dimmer switches requiring additional time compared to standard on-off switches. While the hardware replacement might be completed in 15 minutes, it's essential to adhere to safety protocols, like turning off the circuit breaker and verifying there's no power, for a safe and code-compliant installation.
