    Showe niche aka soapbox install
    Dave K.

    My first non-food, project related review, ideal timing for our first home improvement project. It's best to start off the review by stating that due to the layout of our place, we were specific on what we needed in our bathroom reno. I'm also in sales so I'm naturally persistent and direct. That being said, American Grade met all of our expectations. Brandon was easy to work with and eased a lot of the anxiety a typical homeowner has about upgrading anything/everything. He also knew his staff's capabilities which was a huge help in accomplishing our project (i.e. we have a 13.5' ft high ceiling). In the grand scheme of things, our project was small, borderline tiny. But when treated with the same respect and urgency by Brandon and his team with a busy schedule, as a consumer, we felt well taken care of. My tips for everyone looking to do a home improvement project, on top of take a good look at Brandon and his company, is (1) always have a budget to work with, (2) always have extra finances on the side in case things don't work out, (3) no question is a dumb question, (4) expect delays that's out of anyone's control, and (5) get ready to fall in love with your new space! Will definitely work with American Grade Construction and Brandon's crew again.

    Branson and his crew came in and out very quickly took them about a week to remodel our master. My wife is excited I'm excited and over all great work. The good: fast quality work. The bad: Dust managed to get into the master bedroom, but Brandon ended up hiring a cleaning company to clean up.

    I found Brandon through Thumbtack, Brandon gave me a call as soon as I reached out to him. Unlike some other contractors I have dealt with, Brandon is very easy, friendly and patient to communicate with. I had Brandon remodeled my two bathrooms and a powder room, it took about three month to complete. Although there were some issues came up during the renovation, however Brandon always managed to came up with a solution and made sure I'm satisfied. I'd recommend him for bathroom renovations.

    I contacted American Grade Construction for a 60's bathroom remodel. Brandon is very passionate about remodeling. He took the time to listen to my ideas and figure things out. I got everything I wanted. Throughout the project, Brandon was commutative and easy to work with. His crew was polite and considerate. There were no major issues, but things do come up during construction. When issues occurred, Brandon acted with a sense of urgency. My new bathroom is awesome! It feels like a spa, and I look forward to taking a shower in the morning. I would contact American Grade Construction again for my next project.

When I had contacted a variety of other places, it was always "send me pic" - frustrating when you aren't sure what they want. Francisco came out quickly with no up front cost to assess our current electrical panel, asked what we wanted and where we wanted the charger installed, suggested options for EV chargers to buy, and provided free estimates for set ups for plug-in charger vs hardwired. His quote was reasonable, and cost of permit was part of it. We were able to schedule the work to be done relatively quickly, and the job went quickly and smoothly. He was able to help set up the software settings for our Emporia Pro. AOE also helped facilitate county inspection. I am so happy with his work! Francisco readily responded to questions and made sure we were happy with everything. I completely understand why they have so many 5 star reviews! I would highly recommend AOE and will be using them in the future for any electrical needs and have already referred him to friends. Thank you AOE!

    Avoid - Aggressive Sales Tactics and Inflated Pricing…read more We had a negative experience with Five or Free Electrical and strongly do not recommend them. When the electricity went out on the upper level of our home, we called them for help. Instead of sending an electrician, they first sent a salesperson who couldn't assess the issue, only confirm that there was a problem. We were told we had to pay $475 just for a diagnosis, which could be applied to repairs, and that an electrician could come later that day. With no power, we felt pressured to agree. When the electrician arrived, he initially said our 10-year-old electrical panel was in bad condition and needed to be replaced for over $7,000, with a two-day wait. When we explained we couldn't wait, he tightened some wires on the spot and turned the power back on. He then changed his recommendation and said we didn't need a new panel, just a "cleanup" for $6,500, which he said would take 3-6 hours with two electricians. He also quoted $4,500 to clean up our downstairs panel. On the day of service, only one electrician showed up, and it took about three hours to complete the panel cleanup. Based on what we paid, this came out to over $2,000 per hour. I decided to get a second estimate for our downstairs panel, and the work was completed this morning for $360. That is a huge difference from the $4,500 quote we were given. Our experience with Five or Free was misleading, inconsistent, and extremely overpriced. AVOID!

Previously there was one two-prong outlet per bedroom, and the 1750sqft condo was on one line. With 4 people living in the condo, this was a disaster because it meant if someone was running the washer or dryer in one room, another person was playing video games or in a Zoom meeting, and a third person had the audacity to attempt to blow-dry their hair or vacuum, the entire condo would lose power and we'd have to navigate down the condo stairs in the dark and outside to reset the breaker. BV Electric put 4 new lines in and 8 or 9 outlets across 4 rooms (the living room and three of the bedrooms) for an affordable price. If we happen to trip a breaker now (which is very rare and our own fault for overloading with too much in one room), at least the entire house doesn't go dark and the Internet remains on as we keep it on a separate line with just the TV. This has saved us a ton of headache, not to mention helped our employment as we stopped spontaneously dropping off business Zoom calls due to losing power across the whole condo.

Rigo did a great job with the 3 things I had done: replacing an electrical panel, replacing 2 light fixtures, and installing a smoke alarm. He was on time, knowledgable, and efficient. I don't think it is necessarily the cheapest option around but with something like this, quality and experience matters and they did a great job and handle permits and such. They did exactly what I asked them to do and were responsive over email and able to ask the exact questions they needed which made things seamless. This is not necessarily a bad thing but they could have probably done some kind of "walk through" around the place and found some additional work for me. Upselling is obviously not always a great practice but in my case, there were some things that I wish I had done and I think they could have suggested them and left it up to me to say yes/no to during the initial inspection. For example my kitchen could definitely use at least 1 additional outlet, I should have probably replaced a 3rd light, and so on. I do respect that they don't try to take you on a ride but since it is probably efficient to do things all at once, may have been helpful to discuss (this was also my bad for not noticing these things before). Rigo did a bunch of smaller things that made a big difference too like taking out the packaging for the lights and the old ones as well as the old electrical panel, clearly labeling all the switches very neatly which was not well done before, answering my questions and explaining things in a way that I (someone with little knowledge about most of this stuff) would understand.

The project did take longer than initially expected due to delays outside of their control, but the quality of the work never wavered. From the beginning, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely thorough. They explained what needed to be done, why it mattered, and what to expect at each step, which made a potentially stressful process feel very manageable. Raushan, the project manager, was great to work with and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He was responsive, organized, and always made sure we were informed and comfortable with the plan. Alex, one of the technicians, worked incredibly hard during the rewire and clearly took pride in his work. Bek, another technician, truly went above and beyond - paying close attention to the details and making sure everything was done perfectly, not just "good enough." Beyond the rewire, they handled multiple additional electrical upgrades and fixes around the house, all done cleanly and correctly. What really stood out was trust. Having a crew in your home for a major electrical project isn't easy, but we always felt confident that they had our best interests in mind. No corner-cutting, no unnecessary upsells, just solid, high-quality work. The crew was respectful, showed up when they said they would, and stayed focused until the job was fully complete. I highly recommend Max Electric and would absolutely hire them again!
