"Jesse and his trainee did an incredible job installing our indoor lighting. They were efficient, professional, friendly and knowledgeable. My daughter is forever grateful to them for having lighting in her room and I can enjoy having good lighting in my kitchen area. We would not hesitate to recommend them to other people and will definitely be using them for future work!"

"We hired Guardian to install our security system at our Washington, DC, business. The service and quality of the work was horrible. We had cameras and an alarm system installed; it was a relatively large system. They outsource most of the work to various vendors. They could not manage their vendors; what was supposed to take a week took two months. The sales rep did not return calls, and you could never get anyone in management on the phone. Random people would show up at unannounced times. The few things that an actual Guardian employee did were they made a huge mess of our newly remodeled office and were rude to our staff. We have offices in five markets across the US and have high security at each; we have never had such a poor experience."

"Ben and his crew were an answer to prayer. We were a little anxious about hiring a contractor since we were new to CO and didn't have any experience with contractors here. Our fears were calmed when Ben came out to give us an estimate. Most of the work was done in the Master Bath where he replaced carpet with tile, replaced the tile in the shower and around the tub and removed the tile on the vanities. He installed a frameless shower, a heated floor, heated towel rack and chandelier as well as all new fixtures. In the basement he built a wall with a closet and added a door to an area that we made into a bedroom. He is a very good communicator and makes sure we know what they will be doing each day. As well as doing excellent work, Ben is a man full of integrity and honesty, two things that are important in a contractor. His crew arrived promptly at 8 am and worked all day each day. They were very respectful of my home and cleaned up after themselves each day before they left. If I had a concern about anything, Ben was quick to make it right. He answered my calls and texts promptly. The whole remodel took about 6 weeks with time off during Christmas. We would definitely use AAA Construction again."

"Jason was at our house a half hour after we called. He took the smoke detector down, and we all realized that the beeping noise was NOT coming from it. Jason then spent the next hour helping us locate the source of the noise - turned it it was coming from the dishwasher, which was already off...very strange. In any case, we are able to sleep tonight, and after all the time Jason put into this, he DID NOT CHARGE US ANYTHING!!!! We have used Quynnlectric before, and they have always done a great job - and we will use them any time we need electrical work done!!!!"

"Bathroom completely remodeled in 2018. Started off ok, but ended up with a poor quality remodel that essentially needs to be gutted not even 3 years later. Owner was present and keeping track of the project at first, but it seemed like he had moved on to other projects before long, opting to take various shortcuts, and use unskilled staff to speed it along, despite the fact that the bathroom was not yet completed. First big issue, the mosaic floor tile installation was extremely sloppy. The tile floor was never completely level after install, was never adequately supported, and has since developed a variety of pretty substantial waves and lips along the surface of the floor, especially over the last year as more and more grout joints have failed. The floor tile along the wall was cut VERY unevenly, leaving me with jagged and uneven grout lines as much as an inch (wide) out from the wall in some places. The perimeter of the floor was grouted to the wall tile, and all of those joints have failed. The wall tile was fine at first, but grout started crumbling from the joints roughly a year after installation. Much of the tile work on the walls was completed by an employee who was just learning at the time, was left unsupervised by the owner, and made a number of mistakes as a result. Some of the mistakes were mitigated at the time at my request to another worker, but all of them are still visible, and the tile pattern has never been correct. At the time, I had mistakenly thought the tile issues were just cosmetic issues, but that was obviously a mistake given the generally failing condition of the tile installation throughout the bathroom. In hindsight I should have withheld payment until it was fixed correctly. Earlier this year I had hired them to do some things for me as part of a larger kitchen remodel. I had discussed the things I needed with the owner, and detailed the timeline I was on regarding these items. The owner indicated this would be no problem, suspiciously eager to start the first chunk of work (demo, minor drywall repair). Unfortunately, when it came time for the second chunk of work, the owner had booked himself to do something else, leaving me in a position where I had to scramble to find someone else at the last minute despite having discussed and agreed to the timeline on more than one occasion previously. In my experience, they will generally show up on time, and be done on time, but the owner kind of beats to his own drum otherwise, and the resulting final product suffers. Unless you are willing to babysit and micromanage each little piece of the project to ensure it is being done correctly, I might suggest choosing a remodeler that isn't willing to cut so many corners at the client's ultimate expense. Definitely hire an actual tile contractor instead for any real tile work."

"Lou was terrific! He called ahead, arrived on time, and did a great job communicating while he was here. He wore shoe covers in the house - and a mask (this is COVID times) - and was even kind enough to hang out for a minute at the door while I trained my puppy to calm down when people enter the house. He did top notch work - found the arcing wires behind the outlet (yikes!) that were causing the problem, and cleaned up all of the wiring to make it code compliant and replaced the receptacles. They are our new go-to electricians going forward!"

"We hired Uncle Brian for two master bathroom remodeling projects. They are both beautiful, functional, and within budget, despite my lofty ideas. He gave us great advice, helped us with decision making ,and created bathrooms that look like they're out of a home magazine, but without the price tag. He is absolutely the best contractor we've ever worked with. Brian and his crew do thorough, excellent work and they clean up after themselves. Brian is very responsive with communications. He is transparent, honest, extremely hard working, and will be the first person we call for our next remodeling project."
This pic was taken before the Frameless glass was installed. It shows the Oversized shower and Deep soaker Tub. We built an L shaped wall between the shower and tub - but, still enlarged both by implementing a better design. The LVP flooring my client selected was a huge HIT!
Final items -
We were waiting on the Onyx pieces to complete the Shower and Tub Ledge.
Completed Kitchen!
Customer said she was singing in the New larger shower because she was so Happy! We shopped together and I helped with the selections and final design, but ultimately this was Linda's Dream and she was the Creator. UBHI just built her vision.
Showcase Kitchen with Multi Light Pendants and Brickface Backsplash created alot of enthusiasm among the neighborhood!
This Kitchen was completed in record time! 
So, my customer was Happy!  That isn't always the Case - But, sometimes the moon and stars align and everything goes according to plan. This photo shows the Granite Top and the Bar stools we cut down. The stools were purchased for the 2 tier top - my customer was worried she'd need to purchase new lower stools. I told her - we can cut the legs / she was surprised and said - Let's Do It!

FAQs for generator repair projects in Golden, CO

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.
