"The person performing the service had to make several trips because one of the "new" parts turned out to be faulty. I found both Complete Protection and their local repair contractor to be both very responsive and totally professional at every stage of the repair process."

"This was the second time I had worked with Bob's Construction, the other time was about 5 years ago when I had a new roof put on my townhouse. The first time they had to come back and do a couple of noticeable fixes on the shingles, but overall were kind, responsive, and quick to make things right. That's why I went with them a second time to roof my garage. Unfortunately the second time around may have just been the worst experience I have ever had with a business in my life. First I was told 5 to 6 weeks, which was very close to the closing of the sale of my home in 8 weeks, of which Bob's knew the timeline and the fact that it was contractually part of the sale of the home. They reassured me there would be no issues and they would get the work done before the closing. I was then called by Steve, a salesperson who worked for Bob's, who told me that if I brought 50 percent of the payment down that day, he could get the work done in 2 to 3 weeks time. His reasoning being that there was a lot of homes that they anticipated having to do storm damage repair on, that ended up not needing it, so it freed up space on their schedule. Of course I jumped at that, left work early, and brought a check to him before they closed that day. After 3 weeks of radio silence I called and was told that I wasn't on their schedule for the following week, so call back in a week. This happened twice, so by week 5, I emailed Steve again and was given the response "I will get it done by your closing". No timeframe, nothing scheduled, just that. The week before I closed on my house I had to call them again and was told they would be out on Tuesday. I cleared my driveway and garage out for them and no one showed. I called again and was told they couldn't get out until Thursday and guess what, no one showed. Then I was told they would guarantee it would be done Saturday and I even got a text from Steve around noon that said "They are just finishing up on a roof and are on their way over to do yours". I bet you can guess what happened next, nobody showed up. I tried multiple times to contact Steve, but he was up at his cabin with spotty cell service. Then randomly a van shows up on Monday to complete the work. A few other things to note that made the experience even worse: There was a wasp nest discovered in the garage and a Bob's Construction employee sprayed Raid all over both of our motorcycles and convertible. (We would have moved them all out had we known when they were going to come and do the work.) The same employee had greasy hands and left grease smears and handprints all over the fresh paint on the side of our garage. Bob's Construction was also asked to quote us on repairing any rot on the underside of the roof and were out 2 times to inspect it. They nailed new facia boards over the old rotted soffits and told us, sometimes those things are hard to see at first. We had to contact another company to fix their work and replace the soffits. I was also quoted $700 dollars more than a competitor to replace a window, when I specifically asked for the least expensive option. I did get an email from Dave Ryan, president of Bob's Construction who told me the reason there was so many delays was because of an excess of storm damage on homes they had to play catch up on, which is directly contradictory to what Steve had told me in the beginning of the process. He gave me a whole slew of excuses, that were different from everyone else's, which shouldn't surprise me that if the lies are starting at the top of the company, they find their way to the rest of it. The reason I wanted to get this out was to inform others of the poor business practices and customer service issues Bob's Construction has and hopefully prevent them from going through all the time and stress I did for subpar work."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Dexter, MN

There is often some confusion about the type of work these professionals do. They only work on electrical systems such as outlets, lighting fixtures and electrical panels – they aren’t appliance repairmen.

There are three types of electricians: Master, Journeyman and Apprentice. Electrical licensing varies quite a bit by state. Some have licenses for apprentices and some do not. Some have a master’s rank while others stop at journeyman. Despite the differences, they all require a minimum amount of experience and usually classroom time.

  • Apprentice electricians aren’t usually licensed and spend 4 years learning the trade. Throughout that time, they work on a wide range of projects to learn to become a Journeyman. They’ll do basic work like installing fixtures and replacing outlets all the way to assisting in wiring a home. Regardless of the type of project, they must always be supervised by a Journeyman or Master electrician.

  • Journeymen work without supervision. In a few states, this is the highest level available and they can do all levels of work from wiring a new home to installing a light. In some states, they need a separate electrical contractor license to run a business. In places with a master’s level, a journeyman can do all work besides design new electrical systems.

  • Master electricians usually manage a shop, design new electrical systems in new construction and oversee both Journeyman and Apprentices. They typically bid new projects. Though they focus on larger projects, it’s not unheard of for a homeowner to request a Master Electrician for a house call. If you do, expect to spend up to 25% more for the visit.

Generally, you don’t tip electricians, but that’s not to say they don’t appreciate it if you do. You can offer them something to drink or eat, like coffee and donuts. Most will appreciate it if you do.

The education and certifications required to become an electrician vary by state, though they generally follow this list:

  1. Apprentice

    • Does not always require a license depending on the state.

    • Learns on the job under Journeyman and Master Electricians.

    • Usually needs 4 years on-the-job training before they can test for a Journeyman license. Many states also require a technical degree to advance.

    • Always require supervision.

  2. Journeyman

    • Needs between 8,000 to 10,000 hours of on-the-job training and usually 500 to 1,000 hours of classroom experience.

    • Can usually supervise apprentices.

    • They can diagnose and repair electrical problems.

  3. Master

    • Achieved after an additional two years (4,000 hours) working as a Journeyman and taking the Master Electrician Exam.

    • Besides diagnosing and repairing electrical systems, they also design them. In most places they run shops and inspect Journeyman and Apprentice work.

    • Not a recognized rank in all states.

  4. Electrical Contractor License is an optional license in some states for a Master Electrician to run a business. Some states have this instead of the Master license.

Electricians make an average of $26 per hour but it ranges with experience and licensing. An apprentice may make about half that while a Master Electrician may hit closer to $40 per hour. This figure represents how much they make; not how much they bill. Their salary is only one component of their costs. They must also figure in overhead, taxes, equipment, insurance and several other expenses.

Leave electrical work to the professionals. Electrical systems are complex and potentially hazardous when not handled and installed correctly. If it were easy, it wouldn’t take 4 years to become a journeyman or 6 years for a master’s license. If you are determined to forge ahead yourself, understand home electrical safety before beginning any project.Even for simple common electrical projects, a licensed pro is best. Not only is it safer, but contractors guarantee and insure their work. Hire a professional to keep your home’s electrical systems functioning properly and safely.
