"Helper and Electrician showed up. The electrician could not speak English. The helper could understand him and translated for the electrician. I had three specific jobs to accomplish 1. install dimmable lights over the shower. 2. install an outlet between the vanity sinks. 3. Remove and install a ceiling fan in the adjacent bedroom. Job 1. Got up in the attic and pulled the electric from a nearby ceiling fan. Lights were mounted and they looked fine. When I asked if they were dimmable, the english speaker said yes. Problem 1. The ceiling fan they tied into had a non dimmable ceiling light. So they installed a non-dimming switch in the wall. This mean that the ceiling fan light could not be turned on, and the ceiling lights over the shower had to be non-dimmable. Not acceptable. Job 2. Install electric outlet in a towel shelf above and between the sinks for a small Alexa TV. The English speaker called me in, and said they had to pull wire from a nearby spotlight over one of the sinks. The assistant called me in again and said that they were going to cut a hole in the sheetrock and would not repair the sheetrock. I said, OK. Problem 2. The spotlight was on a dimmer switch, and since this was a 110 outlet being hooked in, they simply replaced the dimmer with a conventional wall switch. Not acceptable. Job 3. Since the installers were running behind, they postponed the ceiling fan installation until last. Problem 3. They finally got to the fan, and found that there was no installation screws or other parts: Just the fan and the blades. So they said they could not install and for me to call when I could get a fan they could put up. Not necessarily their problem, but I was not informed until they wanted to leave. Now I have Job 1, pulled from a ceiling fan in the attic. And now I cannot use a dimmer because the ceiling fan has a custom light bulb which cannot be dimmed. And now I cannot dim the lights over the shower without getting a ladder up and manually dimming whenever I want. Thanks a lot, guys. Job 2 pulled from a dimmable switch. Their solution is to change out the switch, which kept me from dimming the over-the -vanity lights. There were other lights which could have been tapped, including lights that were wired into a switch on the adjacent wall. Did not ask. They just did the easiest thing. Job 3. I still do not have the ceiling fan installed, but with the work I received so far, nothing will happen until they show me how they are going to fix Problem 1 and Problem 2 resolved. Oh, and by the way, repeated calls to the company office resulted in NO return calls. Yesterday, the email brought a letter that said they were drafting my account for the balance. Where is Home Advisor standing on this recommended vendor."

"We are extremely satisfied with our generator purchase. We interviewed several different companies and Alternative Home Energy and Maintenance was the only firm that understood our needs. They did a thorough review of our electrical and gas configuration on the initial sales call, which none of the other companies did. We were provided a detailed, line item quote. The entire team - Tasha Thompson, Jarrod Watson, Robb Taylor, Zack Martin, and James Sanders (plus a couple of other individuals whose names I don't have) were top notch. Tasha did an outstanding job in keeping us informed every step of the way. Robb did a thorough walkthrough and was a no-pressure sales rep, James and Zack did an outstanding job on the installation. I can be pretty high maintenance on jobs like this and Tasha was incredibly responsive to my texts and emails. I can't recommend this firm highly enough. A lot of folks will sell you product, but this team delivers value and customer service at a very competitive rate. Great job, team!"

"It went well, it was just a little pricey"

"I needed fast service due to an insurance coverage problem and I didn't know what to do. I left messages with several places and Steve was the first to call and after I explained what I needed, he came right away, and got me an estimate in less than an hour. A few other places called but couldn't come in the time frame I needed so I called Steve and told him to schedule it. Two days later they called to let me know that they were on the way and then when they got to my home. The technician was thorough and even though the job was a little more involved than I we believed, he spent the time and made it all right before he finished. I can't say enough good about this company and since I live in a 90 year old house I am sure that I will need them again when I need electrical work done."

"We are doing major remodeling and a new addition onto an older home. This company was like a breath of fresh air after dealing with multiple contractors who did sloppy work. Justin obviously knows what he's doing. A previous contractor had wired some electrical receptacles incorrectly, so what should have been a 110 receptacle was actually 220 -- a potentially lethal mistake that fried a couple of small appliances. Justin was able to fix this dangerous situation inside of five minutes by switching some wires around in the breaker box. He did exactly what he said he was going to do. He always called in advance, showed up on time, his workers were very efficient, and they kept the work area clean -- all for a very fair price. They lined up all of the recessed lights perfectly, relocated a chandelier, and relocated several receptacle boxes. Justin and his team are competent, conscientious, and courteous workers who care about doing neat, quality work. We would definitely hire this company again."

"Stay away! Completely took advantage of elderly Mom. Way over charged for simple job, over 1K! Shaun wanted $500 for a simple dishwasher install..! Crazy! Then to make it worse, confused her into signing up for some monthly membership to get a "discount" on bill. Wish she would've called me first. Just sad how they took advantage of her. ZERO stars if I could."

"Jesus and his help were excellent- very efficient and professional. They were considerate and explained how and why of the job. After the work was completed they checked to make sure everything was working correctly. We would definitely hire Jesus for any future project."
