I was referred to Pingston by my realtors in July while under contract to purchase a home. I wanted…read morea quote for the replacement of the two prong outlets in the home with three prong. I was verbally quoted around 1000 dollars for the work by reception, which included installing GFI breakers and replacing the outlets. I scheduled this work to be completed immediately after closing on the home. After the home inspection was completed, I sent the report to Pingston and asked for a quote on what it would cost to address the electrical issues and also replace the two prong outlets, with the priority being the latter. One of Pingston's electricians verbally quoted me $750 for all of the work, and I agreed. On the day an electrician came to do the work, I talked him through what was to be done. He had the inspection report in hand, but I advised him to not complete some of the items as we would be remodeling and it would not be necessary. I also let him know that the outlets were priority. He said he would call me with questions. Four hours later I received a call that his work was complete. To my surprise, the outlets hadn't been replaced. I reiterated that the outlets were the priority for the job, but the electrician needed to go to another home. I called reception and they said would not be able to get back out to my place to complete the job for a few weeks. In addition, I would be required to pay more than I was quoted for all of the work. It felt very dishonest, and I would expect a reputable business to honor their commitment and make things right when there was clearly miscommunication on their part. When I made it home, I was not happy to discover that some work had been completed without my permission. It seems that the easiest tasks were completed (like disconnecting a light fixture), but what I had originally asked for (the outlets and GFI breakers) were ignored. I also discovered that a circuit had been disconnected for some reason, which caused the ceiling fan in my living room to stop working. So not only did the job get left unfinished, but they literally created another problem with my electrical. When I raised the issue with the office they did send someone out to fix it later in the day, but the entire situation could have been avoided if I had been consulted by the electrician on the day of (like he said he would) and if the office had properly communicated what work was to be completed to the electrician. I do not think anyone I interacted with at Pingston is a bad person. I had high expectations for this company as they had been recommended by my realtors, and they're certainly not cheap. But based on my experience and how everything was handled, I definitely would not recommend Pingston. They did take some money off of my bill, but at the end of the day what I had originally asked for was not completed. Spend your money elsewhere if you value a business that prioritizes customer satisfaction.

John came out to see my husband on time this morning. He was quick and efficient and didn't spin out extra time to build his invoice.

Pricing was straight forward and very reasonable. I hope my word of mouth gets them lots of quality business. Bonus we have hot water again after he quickly installed our new instant hot water system (plumbing was done already - replacement unit), and our low voltage landscape lighting is up functioning again. Thanks John!

I hired this company to do some work on a home I'm restoring for my son. They sent over a 'lead' (I…read moreguess) to take the specs on the things I needed done. I won't name him, but he sucks. He was pretty 9condescending in our visit and very noncommittal on a time frame. I understand part of that may have been due to my telling him we had a building inspector who was requiring a permit. She is basically a hemmoroid for everybody concerned, but that's not an excuse for how these people are handling things. Neither the 'lead' nor their office have been very helpful or informative on what is going on. I've had to chace them down to find out what is going on! They were there one day, then disappeared! Did I get a call, a text, or an email with a status update? NO! I had to chace them down after days with no work to find out. Lost a week of work! Into week 2 now. I call the lead. Bad connection, he says he'll call back. Never hear from him again! I texted him for a status update No REPLY! I call the office. Girl is friendly, but can't give me any more info other than the inspectors now want a drawing of the building, showing the work proposal. (OH yeah, 'work proposal', something they still haven't given me!) Oh, but their billing department is RIGHT on top of things!! They had a bill in my email within a day of the 1 day they actually showed up to do something! A little info and clarity when things come up would go a long way towards my work schedule planning. There is none of that with this company. It's like this job is just a nuisance to be ignored. There was a lot of other work I needed done, but I've had enough. I'm canceling all work not yet started, and firing these guys. I would never recommend this company to anybody.

I was upgrading this kitchen on a rental property, it was supposed to be done between the removal of old countertops and new countertops. Thus, this delays and messes up my entire project. How unprofessional! Only hire them if you don't care it the work is actually going to be done. Now, get this. The electrician lives in an identical house across the street from my rental, so HE KNEW WHAT THE OLD ELECTRIC WAS, and yet then was surprised??? Really???? Their excuse, they were busy.
