This is going to be long, but if someone wants to go here just stick with basic routine check-ups.
Just to throw this out there, this company had been extremely reliable for everything in the past. For years we had used them to do our yearly checks on our Furnace and Air Conditioning. Being as reliable and dependable as they were, and our family desiring for supporting local family businesses the last time they did our routine furnace check up, we asked them about electrical work, and they said they knew how to do the electrical work we needed done.
When they showed up, they showed up an hour and a half late. Upon this, they did not have the didn't have the proper tools needed for this though they knew before hand what they were supposed to do. In order to run a line for a washer down to our water basin in the basement that our current washer uses, they were supposed to drill 3 holes into our basement. They went out to Home Depot, being the closest hardware store to our house, they bought the electrical items needed to wire a dryer out in our garage, but they didn't happen to pick up the one tool they NEEDED and had not brought with them which happened to be a drill.
Now, the guy (I honestly forget which of the Ammermans had been at my house this day) asked if it would be okay for him to use a saw instead of a drill. My grandfather, believing this guy knew what he was doing, allowed him to use this saw. 3 hours later they were still sawing away at the tile floor, messing up the tile more so than they needed to, causing all sorts of jagged edges, cut out way more of the tile than needed, as well as created so much dust in our house that it caused 2 of the three of us in the house to have severe migraines and other sicknesses due to how thick the dust and the horrible smell of them sawing the floor. If the man had no idea how to saw a hole into the floor, there should have been no asking about the saw and they should have come back another day when they had the proper tools. My grandfather had saw a layer of dust covering our kitchen table so he had got a bit on his finger to inspect said dust, and it was pure black. Here 3 days after the fact, our house STILL has a smell of burnt hair in our kitchen due to this sawing. Not just this, but our windows have had constant fans running in them to try to get the smell out of the house, as well as the fact we spent 16 hours just re-dusting and re-vacuuming a tile floor, the plaster walls, and everything in the house in order to try to make the scent have a chance of going away sooner.
The amount of time spent at our house for what should have been a 2-hour job was roughly 6 hours. Upon this only HALF of the work that was discussed when we originally asked them to come out was even done.
No compensation for getting our family sick, leaving a horrible smell in our house, or the fact that they over-charged for really what LITTLE work was done was really appalling. Never go with a small family company for anything other than the basics even IF they say they CAN do more. read more
