"Tony was right on time, he got to work on my electrical updates right away. When he came across different options for fixing my issues, he gave me the choice to pick which one I wanted. Tony also went out of his way to find the right tools to fit an outlet in a tile backsplash, being careful not to damage any of my tile. I strongly recommend him to anyone in the Elk River/Otsego area. "

"I received a total purchase and installation estimate for $6200 which seemed high. I googled the unit and the price was $1999 on  line. I asked about the $4200. I expected that the cost of installation might be double the cost of the unit but not 3 times the amount. I was told that they can justify the price based on their long standing reputation and that they don't buy units from the internet.  I asked him to breakdown the estimate for me which he did not do. It felt like they were trying to take advantage of the recent generator demand due to storms. <br /> I went on to get another bid which includes a larger unit and at $1000 less cost.  They were also much more transparent about the price and I didn't feel like they were trying to snow me. I am going to work with them instead. <br />"

"Craftsmen stood out from all the roofing companies we considered and they lived up to it. Jim Kosloski and Ellie Palmer were knowledgeable, trustworthy, prompt and flexible. Jim went above and beyond in working with our insurance company for our roofing claim and with making changes to our plans when we postponed the project to include it in a larger remodel to add a new dormer. Jim worked really well with our remodeler to coordinate the work. He also gave us many examples of other roofing projects to help us decide our shingle color. Matt and the roofing crew were very respectful, answered all of our questions and did a great job. They were thorough and took their time to do the roof well, including replacing all of the roof decking and repairing some of the siding. We love our new roof and will hire Craftsmen again for future roofing and siding projects. We recommend them highly!"

FAQs for generator repair projects in Foreston, 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.
