We called a few electricians and MercaWood were the only ones to pick up the phone (it was only 4pm). They came the next day and fixed the problem incredibly quickly and we're able to explain what went wrong in a way I could understand. They fixed a potential fire hazard Next time I'll remember not to try and cut corners by letting a non-licensed electrician do the wiring. I'll definitely be calling MercaWood the next time I need any wiring done or something goes wrong. A bonus is the owner is a great guy. He started this business to provide for his family and now he has a team of electricians. Not only does he pay them well, but he provides them 401k and healthcare, which is expensive and something most electrical companies don't provide their employees. I wish I could give these guys 10 stars!

He's worked with everyone in the music industry (not naming names, but everyone), so whether you need a studio, a full house, a spa--he's your guy. But the reason I'm writing this review isn't just about his stellar work. After many years of being lucky enough to call Mike my electrician, today I got to call him a superhero. Now look, please don't expect this kind of thing if you're a new client--but today I had a total catastrophe (non-electric--think delivery truck chaos threatening to take out trees and possibly my house), and Mike, seeing me majorly panicking, stepped in and saved the day. No hesitation. He's a problem-solver extraordinaire (and really strong!!). He's also just a really proud dad and husband, and that energy shows in everything he does. I don't mean to sound cheesy, but you want this human on your team. If you're lucky enough to book him, you won't regret it. And for the practically minded--he's fair, efficient, and has a solid and reliable crew. Excellent work- the real deal. Thanks for saving me today, Mike!

Our house dates from 1949, as did the septic tank, a galvanized tin container about 6' in diameter,…read moreno leach field. As the tank had caved in recently, we no longer had a functioning system (which indeed backed into the house at Christmas time.) After we trenched out the old system and at least got liquids flowing, we sought out bids to replace. Not only did the whole system have to get rebuilt to code, but we also had to deal with shale rock inches below the lawn and a wooded area leading down the hillside for the site of the leach field. Given the scope of the project, the first contractor we spoke to was never heard from again. J&R Contracting, headed up the the father and son team of Rick and Rick, arrived 2 days after we called, sized up the project, gave us a realistic estimate given the challenges of the site (e.g. assume an extra day to jack hammer through the shale to create a pit.) We said, "Sure!" Rick took a deposit to pay for the construction of a low profile holding tank, said they'd be back to do the job when the tank was ready. Sure enough, 3 weeks later, the team showed up with two backhoes, a dozer, trucks to transport in sand and topsoil, and chainsaws. We mapped out an area for the tank and leach field, and then they got to work. Over three days a level area was created for the leach field after removing some scrub trees. Specimen trees were tagged and left alone. The big project was jack hammering out the pit, as deep as I am tall. The tank was lowered in, piping connected and soil smoothed over. As J&R already had all the equipment on site, we asked for two days of extra work to bring in ten loads of sand and topsoil to regrade the lawn, reshaping to direct rainfall and winter melt away from the house foundations. The final step in late April will be to distribute shade tolerant grass seed across the new lawn. The final bill matched the original estimate. The added time and materials for sculpting the lawn was, of course, extra. The results far exceeded our expectations.

He showed up late and went home early. Every day. He left open our roof and it rained inside the house. He hired a terrible subcontractor who left beer bottles hidden in the rafters. He sprayed gunk all over our walls. What was supposed to be done in a week went on for a month. He ran out of money and asked us to front him for materials. His truck broke and I had to hire a generator for him. And then I caught him lying about how much foam he'd put into the roof. So he had to come back. And now, even a year and a half later, I'm still having insulation problems that go back to the terrible, terrible work done by this guy. My wife considered taking him to small claims court but we realized we'd never see a dime -- even if we won. He's broke, and he's broke because he blows jobs like ours again and again. Seriously: Run.

tl;dr skip to the numbered part below!…read more Originally i was not going to write a review, but it seems each day i find something else. So this may be long but i want to cover everything. Contacted via email, responded over the weekend got a basic estimate and said he would come take a look, to confirm. All seemed great Came when he said he would, looked over the project, installing a drywall ceiling and fiberglass insulation for the ceiling in a garage. Explained i wanted the garage door angle iron dropped and the drywall slid in to place. Said that is the only way he does it. Explained the ceiling joists were not evenly spaced, ranged from 20 to 22 inches on center. Again he said no problem. Said he should be able to start the next Thursday, i said when ever is fine. That Thursday i receive an email around 1:00 PM saying how about Saturday. I respond saying fine, but Monday is fine as well. I do not hear back, but 9:30 AM on Saturday a truck pulls up. Had i known i would have had he garage emptied and ready for them to work. Together we empty the garage quickly and they start to work. First problem they brought 15 inch wide insulation the joists are spaced further than that. Well the spacing has not changed since you looked at it 6 days ago. i agree to have it laid perpendicular to the joists. (should have quit while i was ahead) . A warm day so i bring cold water throughout the day. Through out the day they borrow my tools to work Fast forward 6 hours later they are calling it a day. Again i help putting everything back even. Jaime says he will bring back a pressure washer to clean my drive way where the truck leaked oil/hydraulic fluid. (before that there was not a single oil stain on my driveway) Once they leave i look there are numerous drops and at least 5 puddles the size of my foot or bigger (size 10 shoes, and yes i mean puddles) i put down some absorbent materials and treat to help prevent to much of a stain, and to make it easier to clean up for them. I also find a handful of drywall screws in the driveway. They said they would return Monday at 8:00AM, I wake up to make sure the garage is empty and ready for them to work. Some time between 9:30 and 10:00 AM they arrive. Different truck (yeh! hopefully no additional stains, no pressure washer either., but i think i am ok with it because they probably would have done more harm then good.) They leave for lunch so i decide to see how they are doing, and notice for one garage rail they put the drywall in as i requested and they said they would, but for the other 2 they just drywalled around the angle iron leaving numerous opening between the insulated and uninsulated area. i also notice huge gaps around outlets and light fixtures. No rhyme or reason to the screwing of the dry wall. 1/3 of the screws still sitting above the drywall service. Areas sagging because not enough screws in areas. Many additional screw wholes with no screws. I question first about the rails as to why it was done that way, they said it was to hard to reattach the spring, they were not strong enough to stretch it. Now first of all i think anybody who has ever done anything with a garage door knows when the door is open there is very little spring tension and that is when you need to work with the springs, for anybody who does not know how to work with garage doors there is this real handy thing called the internet. At this point i realize they have no idea what they are doing, i start thinking i should just fire them now, unfortunately i am a nice guy and tell them i will put the drywall in between the angle iron and the joists myself. (a fat, out of shape desk jockey all by myself, next day it took me about 3 hours) So they finish drywalling and the insulation, do a quick sweep and say they are done, i gave them a check for the full amount with out looking so they would leave, they left so fast i am surprised they did not spin their tires. ok, so since they have left the list below are all the faults i found. 1. Did not drywall around the garage door angle iron as they said they would, leaving the garage door crooked so it scraped the paint of the front of the door rubbing on the opener track, and would not close all the way. 2. Only reinstalled one light fixture, if i ever find the bulbs i will finish, but i have to wonder if did such a poor job putting the fixtures back they were afraid they would catch on fire if they put the bulbs back in. 3. Drywall screws above the surface, ones that never made contact with wood, on the garage floor and again in the driveway. Anybody know how much 19 inch performance tires cost,.....alot. 4. My tools, god knows where they put them or did they just take them, It has been a week still haven't found them.
