"I purchased a Big Deal for a custom kitchen design January 2011. Here is what the the offer said.
"Young Painting  & Remodeling, a highly rated service provider on Angie's List, is
offering custom kitchen design services complete with measurements and a full set of plans for only $50! This service is normally valued at  $250,  saving Angie's List members $200!"

We scheduled an appointment in April, and Paul came out promptly. He appeared to be a nice, sincere, and hard-working young man. I explained that due to my husband's health problems, we could not handle a complete remodel all at one time. I am trying to update our house a little at a time as our budget and especially his health status allows. That is why I was attracted to the idea of a custom design. I had in mind a long-term plan as it were. I think he had in mind generating cabinetry installation work for his company. He had said that his company was in the process of changing from one that primarily did painting to one that did remodeling with a focus on cabinet installation. I told him that my husband's condition precluded anything that would cause a lot of dust and debris. I thought I might want to eventually get the cabinets painted, refaced or refinished but wasn't planning to replace them. And that other issues such as the walls and the lighting had a higher priority than the cabinets. I wanted to start with a color scheme for the kitchen/dining room and hall which are all open to one another. He said color wasn't really his thing, but that if I needed help, he might pull someone in as the job progressed. (Remember at the time of the big deal, the Company was named Young's Painting and Remodeling  rather than Young's Remodeling as it is now. I can perhaps be forgiven for thinking he might have some ideas about color)

He listened patiently to my ideas about what I wanted to accomplish and what I wanted to avoid. At one point he asked about how much I thought I could spend. I gave him what I considered to be the maximum figure for everything to be spent over time. He then said that with that amount he thought I could afford new cabinets after all. I did not say again that I wouldn't consider it. My reasons for not thinking I wanted new cabinets were not solely based on cost. I had already told him why I wasn't planning on new cabinets, but I decided to let him show me a design that might make me reconsider. He took some measurements and soon thereafter he left saying he would get a proposal to me as soon as he could.

He did indeed send me a proposal. It divided the work into categories such as demolition, plumbing, electrical, painting. Included was an estimate of hours of labor with the rate and a budget for materials. The total figure for the kitchen alone was for almost my maximum remodeling figure. More than half of the amount was for cabinets and counter-tops. There was no mention of what kind or configuration of cabinets I would get for this amount of money. I had mentioned that though I knew granite counter-tops were in style, I didn't think they would be a good idea for us because we both have arthritis in our hands and drop things more than the average person. With our current laminate counters, often things don't break. With granite, I'm pretty sure I would be cleaning up glass and china shards pretty much daily. Nonetheless 'granite countertop budget' was one of the items on the proposal. But the proposal included was no drawing, no dimensions, no description of materials to be used other than the granite for the counter-top.

I have the proposal. It is a pdf file.  I would attach it to this review to illustrate my point if I could see a way to do so. I do not consider it to be a design. I certainly don't see how anyone could claim it is a full set of plans. Instead, It is a list estimating what it would cost for this company to remodel my kitchen.  It does not appear to take into consideration my stipulation that I needed to do this a little at a time in order to minimize the stress to my husband. The voucher for the big deal specifically states there is no obligation to use the company for construction. The proposal does not appear to include any work on the dining part of the room. I did not buy the big deal in order to get an estimate. I'm pretty sure there are contractors who offer free estimates. Considering the amount of time he spent, it is perhaps worth the $50 I paid, as it does give me an idea of how much this contractor would charge for certain services such as prepping and painting the room, although I interpreted it to mean those costs would only apply if I accepted the entire proposal.

 I can see no way in which it has the $250 value claimed in the Big Deal. This company has very high ratings on Angie's List. They may indeed do fine work. However I bought a promise of a custom kitchen design. I just don't think what was provided remotely qualifies as a design.

I can understand why a remodeling contractor would not be interested in a piecemeal project such as mine. I've had a fair amount of work done over the past few years. Some people are pretty good at dealing with grouchy old sick people. Some aren't. Some choose not to consider even trying. However, again, I stress that the big deal was for a design.

By contrast I paid $99 for a different Big Deal for custom deck design. I got not only a detailed design for the deck which was far more creative and practical than what I had envisioned, but also a design with dimensions for a garden arch and a sketch for the main backyard garden. This contractor did include, as a separate item, a proposal for his company to build the deck and arch he had designed. I could clearly see what I would be getting. Guess which contractor I hired.

I am amending this review after being contacted by Mr, Young. As I mentioned above, I think he is a sincere and hardworking contractor. He offered to  refund my money as I was not satisfied with the service he provided. He did so, and I appreciated that though it was not necessary. Were our circumstances different, I might consider working with him. As it is, and after consulting a couple of other contractors, I'm thinking even a minor kitchen remodel has too much potential to cause adverse health problems for my husband. So it will have to be one thing at a time or not at all. Again, that's why I want a design, so I know where I'm trying to go.

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Onaga, KS

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.
