Kawika is really a fantastic change from the typical contractors I have hired to work on my home…read more He listened to me without interrupting as I showed him my issues and then gave me his take on my electrical situation and fixed the two problems I had. He came out after he had worked on another job all day and did the work just like he said he would. He even gave me a courtesy call to let me know his first job was running late. That seems pretty rare these days. He even informed me when he was finished with the work I had done because he charges by the hour and there were 15-20 minutes left that I was going to pay for anyway. So I had another small job he did during that time. Who does that? Kawika does. Very knowledgeable about his craft and relays that to his customer. I'll hire him the next time I have electrical work, that's for sure.

We hired Kawika to install solar panels, an inverter, and batteries for our off-grid property. When…read morehe came over, he was very friendly and professional. He gave us a quote that seemed reasonable, so we signed and returned the agreement. He told us the job would take about four days. The first couple of days went well -- he showed up and got started -- but then things started to fall apart. Communication became extremely difficult. I texted him multiple times and only got replies like, "I gave you a great deal, you should be happy" or "I'm busy" or sometimes no response at all. It became almost impossible to get a clear answer about when he would return to finish the job. The batteries we purchased from him turned out to be defective. He tried to revive them many times, but couldn't make them work. I repeatedly asked him to replace the batteries or come up with another solution, but he stopped responding to calls, texts, and even Facebook messages. Occasionally, he would show up, do a little bit of work, and then disappear again. It's now been six months, and the job is still incomplete. The batteries I paid for are bad, and he hasn't refunded me or finished the installation. I kept trying to give him the benefit of the doubt -- maybe he was busy, maybe something came up -- but after months with no communication, it's clear he's ghosted us. Bottom line: Don't be fooled by his nice personality at the beginning. My experience was extremely frustrating and costly. I would not recommend hiring him.

Excellent service. Came right away although it was not an emergency. Honored quoted service fees…read more Stayed all day to complete the job.

We hired E I Electrical to replace a few switches in our condo because our previous electrician was…read moreacquired by this company. They were able to come and inspect the work within a short notice and provided us with an on-site estimate. Everything seemed satisfactory until I was informed that the estimate would include a yearly fee for any future work. This fee would automatically provide us with a built-in discount for subsequent services. This was the first indication that something was amiss. Why would I want to pay an annual fee for work that had already been completed? Another peculiar aspect of their pricing was the flat rate fixed price for each item. They offered a similar approach to car repairs, where a flat rate is charged for parts like a quarter panel or hood. For an outlet in a switch, they had a flat fixed rate. They assured us that this included labor and materials. However, they failed to mention that they sourced the cheapest possible materials. They also stated that I could purchase the materials myself, but I lacked the time to do so. Consequently, I ended up having cheap switches, even though the price seemed exorbitant in my opinion. Given the urgency of the project, I had no choice but to agree. However, this is when the problems began. The project was initially promised to be completed in a day and a half or two at the most. Surprisingly, it took four days to complete the work. They arrived at the site by midday every day and proceeded to shop for materials for that day. Essentially, they had four half-day workdays. The workmanship was rated a 4.5 out of 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. The finish work was quite disappointing. They made numerous holes and neglected to save the drywall pieces to fit them back in, leaving me with a mess of mismatched drywall. They claimed they didn't typically put it back, but they didn't inform me of this when I agreed to hire them. To make matters worse, when I tried to reach the office staff or another representative they initially mistook me for a salesperson or someone trying to hassle me until I proved my identity as a customer. This was quite frustrating. It seemed like they prioritized their profits over my satisfaction. The phone representative kept talking and refused to listen. I don't believe he knew how to listen effectively. Fortunately, I received a call from the owner one day. He was quite pleasant, but it was evident that he has a personnel issue. I would never hired this company again and would never recommend them to anyone. On top of the shoddy work and unethical behavior, they attempted to double-charge me for my services. I noticed a second charge for a similar amount on my credit card, and initially, they denied it. I insisted they investigate the matter, as I had sent them a screenshot of my credit card. Eventually, they admitted to the mistake reversed the charges. Neither the owner nor the project manager called to apologize. In my opinion, their work, ethics, and overall business practices are extremely sloppy, unfriendly to customers, and unprofessional.
