I found Pal electrical and they came to the rescue. Brian and Dylan were incredible. They came in with the attitude of "we will find the issue and solve it for you." They were professional, courteous and on time. They went above and beyond to find the issue and get my power working again. I was beyond impressed. They deserve more than five stars. I will tell all my friends about Pal electrical and would hire them again any time we need service!!!

Reached out to a Find a Contractor website and Quinn Marcel reached back and spoke very highly of…read moreParadise Construction Electric - going against my better judgment of seeking 3 quotes I went with them. The work required was for three soffit lights installed in the 3 peaks of my home. Received quote very quickly with a discount of $50 per light from $400 to $350 per/ light and a very professional scope of work to include insurance information (my requirement was licensed and insured). I thought everything was good and attempted to make first installment. Quinn declined and told me to wait (1st redflag)-weird - who turns down $$$? Tim Eddings arrives on Friday (9/23/22) @4pm to commence work thinking that all I needed was bulbs changed. What?!!! Did you not read your own scope of work? I showed it to him and the cost went up by $450 from $1,113 to $1563. (2nd redflag) . Quinn Marcel is on the phone and states that he (Quinn) doesn't know this type of work - well how can you price it Sir? Once Tim realizes what the work entails, he then reschedules to 9/29/22 and states he will have help. I had already sent a picture of my house to Quinn - not certain if he shared it with Tim. Tim and Moses arrive at my house and ask me, "Do you have the lights?" No I don't - the quote states that you all will provide materials, labor and supplies. Tim then says, okay. I'll go get them - home depot. He comes back with floodlights VS soffit lights. (3rd redflag) . . eventually I'm going to stop counting the flags because there are too many . . SMH! Tim comes back with "acceptable" lights - his partner (Moses) is busy running wires through my attic and there are two hanging out waiting for light installs right now. Scary part(s) - my husband, at work, but calling with questions had me go outside and ask how they plan to seal the holes being drilled into our home to prevent leakage from rain. Tim laughs and tells me that that is not his line of work. Really?! and he proceeds to drill right through the BRICK of my garage which is 2 feet below the peak of where the light is supposed to be. He tells me that he can't reach the peak but didn't ask if this was okay to install the light 2 feet lower than my request and outside the scope of work! I told him this is UNACCEPTABLE and he informs me he needs a taller ladder. My husband tells him, he will pay for the rental of a taller ladder from Home Depot and Tim calls and finds they don't rent them anymore. Today is 9/30/22 and we are expecting the remnants of Hurricane Ian for the next 4 days (rain) so work cannot be completed until next Wednesday (10/05/22). Tim thinks he has another 3-hours of work ahead of him to complete this job. I currently think this job was too big for him and now I cannot reach Quinn Marcel or any other person at their "headquarters". Tim also asked me, if I believed in Conspiracy Theory? What? Not when my home is being hacked and drilled in areas that I cannot see! Very unprofessional. Update: After providing feedback to the contractor, we went in another direction and had the job completed by another contractor within 3 hours and they UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT.

We needed some commercial electrical services done so with a quick google search and decent reviews…read morewe gave JAJ a shot. The dispatcher was super nice and made an appointment next day. Next day arrives and the ETA they gave came and went I called she explained what the issue was and a tech came out within the hour. Long story short he did a great job and had no issues. Fast forward we had another request we needed done in our server room, called them since they did a great job the 1st time. The made an appt with an ETA of 9am-10am. I get a call around 9:45 saying tech will be late due to a previous call and if they want us to get another tech which would take an hour but the original tech shouldn't take long. I said if he's finishing up then we will stick with the original tech. 12-12:30pm rolls around and I call checking the status of the tech, dispatch tried to figure out and says he's coming. I said at this point it was faster getting a new tech. We Close around 5pm. Tech doesn't come until 2:30, 4-5hours past the original appt. We show him what needs to be done then says oh I need to get my tools we ask how long will that take since you were already 4hrs late he said he would need another 1-2hrs. We said forget it, let's reschedule to that following Monday. As soon as the tech (3-3:15) leaves I call to solidify the appt for Monday because we had a cable tech coming Tuesday. Conveniently no one from their dispatch office picks up. So I left a voicemail asking for someone to call back in regards to booking an appt. I had a feeling something funny was going to happen as I never got a call back, I called Saturday mid morning, Sunday mid morning sent an email and voicemail, still nothing at this point. Monday rolls around and I get a text message saying we are scheduled for Tuesday. How are we scheduled for Tuesday when I was trying to contact you since Friday afternoon? I called yet again and still nothing. So I sent a pretty stern text which I got a reply due to employee spouse tragic accident pretty much made everything chaotic. Which still doesn't explain why you cannot respond when your hours online list your open over the weekend as well. I had my colleague call and what do you know they picked up. He explains the frustration and she assures we can get a tech Tuesday between 6:30-7:30am. We asked to ensure they would be there. I didn't get a confirmation text until 11pm then Tuesday rolls around a I get an email from my colleague saying they never showed up. No call no nothing. We just went with another company who came out within the hour and finished as guess who was pulling up JAJ it was 8:30am. I told the tech you all were scheduled at set time and it's 8:30-8:45am. What was the issue? He was quiet, I asked again where was the miscommunication because regardless you still showed up 1-2hrs late. We said we didn't need their services. I will never use them again.

Bad news--The mistakenly noted my appointment as canceled then corrected it only to do an estimate, not the actual work. Electrician that showed up didn't blink his eyes like he was high on Vicodin. Hours later he emailed me an estimate for $575. What the what? lol

ABSOLUTE FIVE STAR! I am happy to say that I received excellent service from Yesser of Dora…read moreElectric. I had a HUGE job which I was worried would be costly. I had a brand new electric panel installed, and I even had the outside meter and main line MOVED to an entirely new area of my home. Used to be smack dab in the front, ugh! Now it's well hidden on the side of my house! MORE THAN THAT, Yesser dealt with all permits and working with Dominion electric to facilitate the approvals which all went completely seamlessly and extremely fast. Immediately after the large job was done I had several other small projects that I would only trust with Yesser. So he did a bunch of other things for me for such a good a price. Costs: Cost was extremely reasonable to the point where I know I would have paid much more. I feel like with bigger companies you have to cover their advertising budget ha ha! Skill: All I can say is that I was very impressed with the work. I know very little about electric, but the neatness alone with how things were laid out and done showed me that Yesser is a perfectionist. I checked out his credentials. Master Electrician. Fully licensed and certified in DC, MD, VA. Super nice guy, always explaining what he's doing, loves a friendly chat! :)

He may be wonderful at changing out a lightbulb but he is incapable of performing large-scale work. I would never recommend him for any work and plan to file a complaint with the County based on our experience with him. Found Dora Electric on Yelp. We needed our two panel boxes combined to one, leaving open breaker spots for future electrical needs. We also needed four (4) dedicated lines run down the hall to the basement wet bar. Tuesday, April 26, 2016 (day hired): Yesser quoted to get the job done in two days for $3,000 and guaranteed his work would pass county inspection. Thursday, May 19, 2016 (23 days since hired): Yesser showed up around 11:00am but didn't start any work. Friday, May 20, 2016 (24 days since hired): Yesser had the power off all afternoon and it wasn't restored until around 10:00pm. He wasn't sure when he'd come back to continue/finish the job. Monday, May 23, 2016 (27 days since hired): My wife contacted Yesser to ask when he was coming again. His response was "maybe today but maybe not." Tuesday, May 24, 2016 (28 days since hired): Yesser said he was busy this week. I expressed concern due to family coming to town on Saturday. He agreed to finish the job on Friday, May 27. Friday, May 27, 2016 (31 days since hired): Yesser finished installing the four (4) dedicated outlets and installed the two (2) grounding rods. He left 13 holes in the drywall and said he doesn't patch the holes. He then asked me to pay him $4,700 instead of the $3,000 we agreed on. I paid him $500 (total $2,000 to date) and said I would not pay any the final $1,000 until the Fairfax County inspection passed. Yesser requested to schedule the final inspection after Ramadan. We agreed to support him even though only the inspection remained. Friday, July 15, 2016 (80 days since hired): Yesser didn't show for the inspection and his work failed the inspection. Yesser cut a wire where he cut a hole in the drywall and blamed us for doing it. He also blamed us for the other holes in the wall yet he was the only contractor hired. Yesser agreed to return that day and fix the failures but never showed. Wednesday, July 20, 2016 (85 days since hired): Yesser stopped by for 30 min then left for the day. Tuesday, July 26, 2016 (91 days since hired): Yesser arrived (late) to repair the issues failing the inspection. He asked to be paid $750 but was reminded of our agreement to pay after the final inspection. Yesser berated my wife, called her a liar and claimed we were treating him harshly because he is an immigrant. My wife stated we just wanted the work done so we could pay him and have our home back. Yesser said he scheduled an inspection for the following morning. Wednesday, July 27, 2016 (92 days since hired): Yesser said the inspection was cancelled and rescheduled for Friday. Friday, July 29, 2016 (94 days since hired): Yesser said the inspection was cancelled and asked to do it the following week. Tuesday, August 2, 2016 (98 days since hired): My wife contacted the Fairfax County Inspector's office and scheduled the inspection for Friday. Wednesday, August 3, 2016 (99 days since hired): My wife told Yesser via text the inspection was scheduled for Friday. He was not happy and said to have a check ready for him. Friday, August 5, 2016 (101 days since hired): The County Inspector cancelled the inspection. We found out that Yesser never scheduled any inspections other than the one that failed. In short, Yesser had been lying about scheduling and the cancellation of inspections. Monday, August 8, 2016 (104 days since hired): Inspector showed up and passed the work pending fixing two open wires Yesser cut (but blamed us for cutting). Yesser wanted the $1,000 paid in cash. We refused and said our bank would issue a check delivered to his home address. He yelled at my wife and said he was to be paid $4,700 instead of $3,000 and accused us of being liars. He continued his rant until my wife began to video the conversation. He stopped yelling and drove off our property, leaving his tools in our driveway.

Dominion Energy told me they would provide a box and accompanying upper wires free of charge, yet Joe insisted on replacing the wires above my box and charging me for them. He rushed me into doing the job by telling me it was going to rain soon and that he had to hurry up and get started as he charges by the hour, essentially cutting off my additional questioning of what he was planning to do and how, etc. As a result he also decided not to call Dominion when he arrived, as they told me he should do. Today when Dominion stopped by to take a look they 1) told me that Joe's work was mediocre but could have been done better 2) Joe touched THEIR wires which he shouldn't have done and could have easily bypassed the need to charge me for those add'l wires but chose not to in order to scam more money out of me, and most importantly 3) he completely overcharged me (likely for the box and wires which I told him Dominion was to provide for free). While I am thankful to have reliable power back, go find someone else to do your job NOT Cullen Electric!!
