A Horton Electric employee quoted their rate at $100/hour. He came to my house and estimated my job would take six hours.
He never mentioned sending a second employee to do my job but two men showed up.
These guys hid out in a room where they texted for more than twenty minutes. They sat on the floor talking about a car for half an hour. They spent 55 minutes snaking a wire behind a 4' piece of paneling that was opened at the top. They were loafing using as much time as they could because they didn't want to go to another job.
They actually worked about six hours at best.
I explained all this to the estimator who said he'd adjust my bill, but he sent a bill for two men @ 7.5 hours in the amount of $1273! I call this elder fraud!
I will never hire this company again. BEWARE! read more
