I was referred to Paul by another contractor who did some good work for me. Big mistake. I had high hopes since he seemed to know what he was talking about during the consultation and his pricing was pretty good. I needed some electrical work re-done in my attic, a couple of fans installed, and a ventilation fan put in to my bathroom that never had one before since it has a window and is an older home. During the consultation, he recommended a fan/light combo since we were concerned with cosmetics. At that time, I asked if the light and fan can run independently of each other and he confirmed that yes, they can and usually do. When we were in the attic, he mentioned that he could run the exhaust to a pre-existing exhaust duct in my roof. Everything sounded good. Well, the day the work was to be completed, my wife called me at work and I had to rush home to try to work it out. He ended up re-wiring one of our outlets removing the functionality of the light switch to control one of the outlets in favor of the fan he installed. The thing is, the fan is on a remote and doesn't need the switch. In fact, the fan lost it's settings while he was still there when using the switch. Now I have a switch I can't use for my fan or an outlet. Awesome. In addition, the ventilation fan/light combo he installed in the bathroom was the most half-ass*d job I've ever seen done by ANY contractor, licensed or not. I had 1 Decora switch for the vanity light which was the primary source of lighting in the bathroom. After our previous conversations, in addition to us repeatedly expressing our desire for things to look good, I had no doubt in my mind that he would be installing a 3-gang old-work junction box to control the vanity light, ventilation fan, and attached light. Instead, I walk in the door to find a new hole had been cut out of the drywall with a single regular light switch in addition to the pre-existing Decora switch about 6 inches away....and it wasn't even aligned properly. He wired the fan and light together on one switch instead of what we had talked about. It was crooked and a different type of switch altogether. I asked why he didn't put in a 3-wide junction box and he fed me a line about how he can't put in "old-work" boxes and would need to cut a big hole out of the drywall just to fit his hammer in to nail the new construction junction box into the stud. He said we would need a drywall repair man if we wanted a 3 gang box. He was trying to help US out, by limiting the amount of drywall damage he did. Later on, I did a lot of research and as I was fixing his terrible work I found out he fed me a bunch of lies. He HAD used a single old-work box for the goofy looking light switch. Not only did I end up spending countless hours and more money re-wiring the fan/light combo and putting in a 3 wide Decora panel, but I found that he ran the ventilation duct and just dumped it into my attic instead of going to the roof like he said he would do during the consultation. Now I have to deal with moisture dripping onto my ceiling and deteriorating the wood beams in my attic. Once he left I did some research and I realized he had lied to just get out of having to do the work right. I sent a very polite and cordial text asking him why he couldn't install the 3 gang box and that we felt misled and of course, I never got a response. Classic case of take the money and run. If you want to become a self-taught electrician, hire Bradshaw Electric and they will graciously leave you with lots of assignments to work on. However, if you value your money, time, and sanity, look elsewhere. read more
