"They fixed the furnace instead of us having to go buy a new one. Which saved us about $4,000.00. Our experience was really good. They took the time to explain everything to my husband and gave us a really good price and saved us money."

"Things to look out for when choosing a remodel company I was so excited to get started on our kitchen remodel. First it was just going to be the kitchen but turned out being our entire main floor plus some. The demo went amazing hardly any dust and things seemed to be running along great. I thought people always say this is horrible to live through, I was glad I felt like it was not going to be that way. Until things started slipping through the cracks, communication was a problem. Pretty soon I found myself making calls to follow up on what is next. You never knew if anyone was coming back the next day because scheduling was done the night before. Then things went to frustrating to worse, I am a reasonable person and know there will be bumps along the way. The way things were heading were not acceptable, the designer was fired. I started to work with Andrew the office manager/designer and thought things would be better, but soon he kept giving me the round around and could never give me a straight answer on questions I had or follow ups. There was a lot of punch list stuff left to do and months went by with no one coming. I can’t even tell you how many times I had to follow up with Century Kitchens and Bath and got nowhere. Next I tried calling the Owner Steve he said he will be on site to make sure the job got done and done right. Well that was just as bad, everything he touched I had to have someone else come in behind him and fix his work. I had to point obvious stuff to him. Each time he was here he left his 87yr old father with dementia in the car with no heat, for hours. Just think wow if this is how he treats his father now wonder this job has gone to crap. So since this job started in July 2021 and still not done, we have had to do punch list stuff I had asked over and over to be completed and was not. A big hang up was some cabinet fronts had to be replaced which took 5 months to get, now I know things are taking a while but I believe they were never ordered by conversations I have had with Andrew. Finally got them after they dropped off at front door and we are installing well because no one ever follow up to install or come back to. Turns out they are not correct but we have to make due. But in the end Century Kitchens and Bath have walked away from this job unfinished. I would say the construction team was great and I do love my kitchen but make me sad too of all the trouble I have had. My advice is always check references verbally about how company did start to finish. And don’t pay all the big money toward the front and middle spread it out more at the end. We spent over 50K on the remodel and it is horrible that Century Kitchens and Bath have walked away, there is no more money to be made here. All they care about is going where the money is…. I hope this never has to happen to anyone else…..And never ever ever use Century Kitchens and Bath….ever"

FAQs for generator repair projects in North-buena-vista, IA

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.
