Paid to do some interior painting and conversion of an old shower stall to a linen closet. Daily,…read morewe continue to find flaws in the paint job (overpaint where trim paint meets wall paint, unrepaired spackle points just painted over, fibers [roller?] in paint finish, insufficient paint coverage in spots) and disappointment in the finish of the linen closet (not done to specifications per the estimate). No trim paint left for us and very, very little wall paint. Tried to have issues addressed via e-mail and follow-up text and phone message with no response. Next filed a Better Business Bureau complaint which has thus far been ignored by the contractor. We thought these were good guys but now feel betrayed by their lack of response to the issues and by their failure to prioritize quality and accuracy in the performance of the work they did in our home.

Recently I hired Mark Older of Harmony Electric to work on my rental propertly. He did a fantastic…read morejob at a reasonable price. He is a licensed electrician, but also very skilled with carpentry and drywall. The job involved removing a wall in the kitchen, with substantial rewiring. He revised and leveled the footprint for the new cabinetry, which he afterward installed. There was extensive revision of the drywall which he seamlessly restored. I am happy to give him my endorsement.

Bell Electric was very responsive, accommodating and very professional. Their entire crew was very…read morepleasant. They performed excellent timely electrical repairs and installation services on a 54 year old home that I recently purchased, which was noted to have numerous preexisting unsafe and unpermitted electrical installations. They had also left the premises very tidy. I highly recommend Bell Electric !!

We have a dumbwaiter to help out with carrying groceries and laundry and garbage upstairs or…read moredownstairs. It sometimes stops between floors. Our usual company was busy so we tried Danny's Electric from Christiansburg. The first day 2 guys came and one didn't even know what it was. After a couple hours he said we needed a new switch which I ordered per his recommendation. I paid $210 plus $69 for overnight delivery The electric guys charged $261. Next day one of them came back and had another guy and they worked on the switch for several more hours and put on the new switch. They did something and the dumbwaiter went up. We all got excited and I went up to make sure and pushed the down button and it worked. They charged another $819 and left. Next day I tried to send something upstairs and when I pushed the button-nothing happened. It only works from the switch we have upstairs. The new one doesn't work at all. I texted the guy and he said he would get back to me but didn't. I texted again next day and he said he did research and was sure the motherboard had gone bad and I should contact someone who installs them. I texted the owner of the company and he never responded. I feel like we were robbed or at least way overcharged. I asked him for half of the money refunded which I don't think is asking too much. I would not recommend this company.

It's few and far between that you call someone for help, they listen and instead of trying to just take your money they help you!!! Danny knew what the problem was and didn't charge us a dime- he was patient and took the time to explain everything to me. We were able to get everything fixed, this is the second time we've called Danny's- the first time the guys came out made some repairs, they were quick, professional and was priced appropriately. This second time Danny was great to deal with, and even followed up to make sure everything was taken care of without a dime! Highly recommend Danny's- he will be out go to from here on out for all our electrical needs.

We reached out to BLUE RIDGE HEATING & AIR, INC. to install a mini-split system for our massive--and by massive, I mean 125 square feet--cabin. That's right, basically a glorified walk-in closet with dreams. We requested a simple 110/120v unit, nothing fancy, just something to keep us from melting in the summer or freezing into popsicles in the winter. You know, the basics. The quote? $5,212. FIVE. THOUSAND. TWO HUNDRED. TWELVE. DOLLARS. I wasn't asking for the gold-plated, whisper-quiet, sings-you-to-sleep-at-night model... just something that plugs in and blows air. So yeah. Message received. You don't want the job. And that's okay. But hey, future buyers--consider this your "tiny home, big invoice" PSA.

When the part arrived, it took the tech about 15 minutes to install the new motor. Charged me about $700 to install. THAT'S $2800 AN HOUR! RIDICULOUS! I called and asked why it was so expensive since it was a warranty part. They said they had to do paperwork for the warranty. REALLY? I WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN! I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN CHEAPER TO PAY FOR THE PART. GET ME ONCE, SHAME ON YOU. GET ME TWICE, SHAME ON ME! N-E-V-E-R A-G-A-I-N!
