From our experience, stay far away! We did not hire them. They were hired by another company as a subcontractor to come look at lighting problem that arose from some work the other contractor did in our attic. At the request of the other contractor, they came to our house. Jeff J spent less than 10-minutes at our house. When he was at our house for those few minutes, he never even went into the attic (where original work was done). He did not speak with us other than to introduce himself as the subcontractor, and we were expecting him, so we let him in to do his inspection. He did not fix the problem that we were having, and spent less than 10-minutes in our house doing whatever inspection or work the contractor sent him to do. But then, a few days later, we received an invoice for $250.95 ($200 labor + $11.95 fuel surcharge + $39.00 material) . My wife and I thought this must be a mistake. We emailed Absolute Electrical via their website - no response. We called them, certain they would tell us it was a mistake. They said it's "no mistake." They had the audacity to claim that while they were at our house, during those 10-minutes, they asked for our permission to do the work on our dime, and we gave them the permission. Rubbish! They are crooks. We only allowed them into our house as a subcontractor -- doing an inspection at the request of the other company. We had not hired them. They never even remotely indicated they were doing work at our direction or on our dime, they were called-in by the other contractor. When we telephoned them to discuss, thinking it had to be a mistake, they fabricated the story that they had asked and received permission by us to do work for us and invoice us for it -- all in the 10-minutes he was at our house. Of course this never happened. If we needed an electrician, we would hire one. We did not hire these people, but by virtue of letting them into our home for 10-minutes, they fabricated things in order to invoice us for their time. Perhaps some of you out there have had different experiences with these people. But in our experience, they are Absolute crooks.
Update: After calling Absolute Electrical on 12/7/2015 about above - we received from Jeff J, President of Absolute Electrical, on 12/8/2015 a LIEN on our home. A lein on our home for $250, a few weeks after they were at our house for 10-minutes, at the request of the contractor. We only let them in the door per the other contractor. But they fabricated a story so they could invoice us (we never hired him), and then less than a month later we have a lien on our home. This is no way to do business. From our experience, stay away from these people unless you want a huge headache and unwarranted legal problems. (And we still have the same electrical problem, unfixed, that started all this to begin with.)
Update: 12/15/2015 Our contractor told us Absolute Electrical was never supposed to invoice us, much less put a lien on our home. Our contractor took care of their bill. We'll update this when/if Absolute Electrical takes the lien off our house. Perhaps others have had a different experience and if so, that's great. But from our experience, we could never recommend Absolute Electrical. Our electrical problem is not fixed. But most importantly, when you're allowing someone into your home, there needs to be a little trust that they're honest, reasonable people. That was not our experience. read more
