This was by FAR the most unprofessional company I've ever dealt with. I called three times, and left 3 voicemails regarding a simple rewiring job at my apartment complex in Sausalito. (No response from IE after three (3) attempts to contact them).
After two weeks of calling and leaving voicemails, I finally reach a live representative. I explained my situation, and what the job would entail. The woman I was speaking with seemed to have trouble understanding my current issue. The job was simple, I was doing construction on my family's apartment building, and during construction electrical wires were cut. We needed to have these wires replaced (i.e cable, etc.) I'm no electrician, but I do not believe my order was overly complicated for ANYONE in the industry.
After listening to my request, she puts me on hold for a few minutes, she gets back on the phone and says to me "we are busy for at least a month, but I can refer you to another electrician." If this was my initial call, and I hadn't repeatedly called with no response for over 2 weeks, I would have been fine with her response. If she would have told me promptly on the call that they were booked for a month, I would have been slightly disappointed, but understood. Instead she bluntly told me AFTER 10 minutes of conversation, we can't do the job you're asking for (after putting me on hold for 5 minutes).! I asked her, "why couldn't you have told me this 2 weeks ago?" She promptly, hangs up on me!!
I call back, and she picks up again. I reintroduce myself, and ask stunned, "why did you just hang up on me?" Her response, "uggg what do you want?!". Now I'm very stunned. What do I want? I want what I've described in 3 voicemails, and a live conversation. A bid on a wiring job to hook up cable and other electrical wires. She proceeds to tell me "I don't like the way you're talking to me, please don't ever call this number again", and then hangs up. I AM NOT MAKING ANY OF THIS UP. This employee lacks any resemblance of professionalism.
I then call divine electric who I've never used before. I can't discuss the quality of their work since they haven't started the work yet. What I can comment on is the fact that they PICKED up the phone, will come to the property in 2 days, and will start the work in exactly 1 week. My bar isn't that high.
As someone whose used and referred clients to Integrity Electric in the past, I'll say this, Jerry and Scott provide quality work. Period. The woman who works at the front desk (I don't know her name) is the most incompetent, unprofessional, clueless employee I've ever come across. Having the name "Integrity" and having her as the person answering the phones is mind boggling.
As someone whose profession is in sales (commercial real estate), and works with actual INTEGRITY when representing/helping clients, I would expect much more from a "diamond certified company". The work they produce is great (Thank you Jerry!) This individual has ruined any relationship I previously had with Integrity Electric. I will be sending an email blast to all my clients detailing my unfortunate experience. I've referred a good number of clients to integrity electric in the past, but will never refer ANYONE to them again. The type of behavior displayed by this individual is unacceptable, and I do not want other people to not go through the repulsive experience I went through. read more
