"First, I tried calling Angie’s list several times on phone to complain. I was just transferred from one person to another person. Finally I tried a different number and got a person who sent this link. Tried doing this back in June and by the time I finished writing it all, the computer acted weird and all info I put in was lost, not saved. Maybe that was on your end. At any rate, I’m going to make it shorter this time and get this legitimate complaint to your company once and for all. I previously/originally hired John (JRC HOME IMPROVEMENTS JHI) last November. All went good on that. Contacted him again early part of May to hang shelves, towel bars, curtain rod, couple pictures. Also told him wanted new weatherstripping around kitchen door, coming from garage. Basically the guy talks A LOT. When I showed him door, he then proceeded to tell me how it was messed up, blah, blah, blah from previous people. I CLEARLY EXPLAINED TO HIM that I was only renting this house. He showed me a small area on door that he said he could fix. I agreed to it because I thought it would be just that - a small fix. He got everything hung Monday. Came back next day (7th) to do the door. I left kitchen area, so I did not see that he had taken the entire door frame off. There was a lot of saw noise and when I came out to look, I saw he had entire door frame off. I did not say anything and I should have. He didn’t get there til almost 1:00, then left to get his son and didn’t return til almost 3:30-4:00. I was getting very upset by then. He finally got most of it done by almost 7. But it wasn’t all done as he said he had to come back and do small touch up paint. He had charged me $250 from day before. Which I paid in cash. He wanted $484.41 for this door. I think $219.41 is for supplies he bought to fix this door. I gave him another $200 in cash and put $284.41 on a card. I WAS SO UPSET, I JUST WANTED HIM GONE. The weekend went by & I finally called him Tuesday or Wednesday for him to come do touch up paint. I confronted him with it after he finished that up and basically said, this work was overpriced and I told you I only wanted some new weatherstripping and I come out here and you’re doing who knows what with this door….he said well I agreed to it and said he wasn’t giving me $200 back (I told him I thought he should give me back $200) then he asked which door would you like me to leave from? I feel I was OVERCHARGED VERY MUCH. for hanging a few things on the wall and new towel bars and tell him explicitly I only wanted new weatherstripping and HE suggested doing the work on the door, MAKING ME BELIEVE IT WOULD BE A MINOR, SMALL REPAIR AND IT TURNED INTO SOMETHING THAT HE CHARGED ME ALMOST $500 FOR? BECAUSE I HAD TO PAY $219 For the supplies- on detailed work that I never wanted to begin with? PLEASE CONSIDER GIVING ME A REFUND OF $200.00. THANK YOU."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Monterey, TN

Yes, a licensed electrician is essential for this project. Running an electrical service from the road to your house involves connecting to utility power lines, complying with national and local electrical codes, and safely handling high-voltage systems. 

Licensed professionals understand proper wire sizing, grounding requirements, and voltage drop calculations needed for safe installation. Most jurisdictions require permits and inspections that only certified professionals can obtain. The safety risks and potential for property damage make this project inappropriate for DIY attempts.

Overhead installations are less expensive than underground options. For a 1000-foot run, overhead service costs between $8,000 and $15,000, while underground service ranges from $10,000 to $25,000. 

Overhead lines require less labor and fewer materials since they don't need trenching or conduit. However, underground lines offer better protection from weather events and aesthetic benefits. Your decision should balance your budget constraints with long-term reliability and visual preferences.

You might need to upgrade your electrical panel depending on your power requirements. If your existing panel cannot handle the additional load from the extended service, upgrading to a 200-amp service (costing $750 to $2,000) may be necessary. 

A licensed electrician can evaluate your current system and determine if an upgrade is required. Factors include what you'll be powering at the end of the line, existing electrical demand, and whether voltage drop over the distance will affect performance.

Running electric service from the road to a house requires electrical permits from your local building department, costing between $500 and $2,000 depending on your location. You may also need excavation permits for trenching work if installing an underground service. Your utility company will have its own application process for connecting to its grid. A licensed electrical contractor can handle all the necessary permit applications as part of their service, ensuring your installation meets all local code requirements.
