Brandon and Robin finished installing a bathroom exhaust fan for me in my master bathroom today. My husband and I were dealing with moisture issues in this bathroom for a year or so and this fan project was long due. For some retarded reason, the steam just wouldn't go out through the window but instead, drifted into our master bedroom even with the bathroom door closed causing it to smell like a locker/shower room (not mold, we don't have mold or a leak...specifically it was a shower steam/locker room smell from all that moisture anytime a long shower was taken).
It was difficult finding an electrician in the area willing to do the job. I must have left 15 messages to different electricians. 1 electrician with reputable reviews in Escondido kept flaking and rescheduling...a bad sign. I called these guys and they answered the phone and were able to put me on the schedule (though I waited 2 weeks since they were busy which was fine with me). And to my surprise, they actually showed up and didn't flake...I almost thought they weren't going to show up since they came during the later part of their 9-10 am window. I was nervous to get the job done with them because they only had 1-2 reviews?? I don't get why they have such little reviews because they did awesome work for me and clearly knew what they were doing.
This bathroom exhaust fan required a dedicated 20 Amp circuit as there was no existing wiring in the bathroom. I had an adjacent gable in the attic that made it easy to duct the exhaust out to so they didn't need to do extra work going through the side of my condo. They showed up around 10 am to do the job, did a quick 30 min shopping trip to get my 6 in duct work and a switch panel, then finished the job at 1 pm. These guys are brothers so they were able to tag team the work to get stuff done efficiently. This job involved going through my attic, installing duct work out to my gable, installing the bath fan in the ceiling, and wiring in the attic, subpanel, and bathroom switches. They also accommodated my request to use smooth (not the flexible) 6 in duct to use since according to the reviews on the bath fan I bought, it would help with condensation and keep the noise down. The smooth duct is more difficult to install than the flexible duct but I was okay paying them extra in labor. I feel that the total price they charged me for this project was more than fair and I am hoping this review doesn't give them too much more business as I want to be sure they will be there anytime I wish to have more electrical work done (yeah, I'm selfish on this).
I just finished a long hot shower in this master bathroom and I have no more condensation on my mirrors or window sill. Also, no more shower/steam smell in the master bedroom either...YAy! Thanks guys. read more
