I'm satisfied with the outcome of that discussion and have no further concerns over pricing. They earned my business through their effort to make things right. Pros: Prompt response & service Knowledgeable & highly professional Technician Reliable/flexible-Rescheduled appointment to an earlier time slot with no issues Cons: May be cost prohibitive for some In my case: 192.43 Diagnosis fee 779.38 for services rendered: Total cost was 971.81 1) Diagnose garage light fixture not working (ballast/lighting was replaced on (2) units) 2) Estimate to replace a fixture on the outside of home (lighting replaced with a flood light fixture) 3) Estimate for an future install of an outlet in the master bath. Estimate was provided and totaled 868.36 for parts/labor/inspection permit admin fee Summary: I've had other companies out and have experienced poor results. In contrast the work that was performed by the Volt Doctors Tech was done pristinely. I don't recall the Tech's name...he was a quality minded individual...& took great care in performing the work yet worked efficiently (job was completed in under a hour or so).

We just had a small vanity counter installed this morning and can't be happier! This is the third…read moreproject we've done with Absolute Stone in the past year and had a good experience overall. What makes this moat recent project so special is how well the veining ended up being spread across the counter. You can see in the attached photo that we have a small half-bath vanity. We risked by selecting Michelangelo quartz because of its dramatic veining, which could look strange on such a small surface. We could potentially end up with a completely white counter and a small splash of that dark veining on one side. But whoever cut this stone for us did an outstanding job at choosing the perfect piece of stone for the veining to be spread well. We're so happy! As I mentioned, this isn't our first project with Absolute. Earlier this year we ordered another quartz vanity counter for the guest bath and a bench top for the master shower. Both of the previous projects went well. It was convenient that Absolute had a good size showroom in Cary, their staff was responsive throughout all projects and we had zero issues with the installation. Selection of stone is sufficient (not too large but enough to find something you like). All in all we are happy with our experience and totally overjoyed with how the most recent vanity turned out.

I hired them to link a generator to my house and to fix two ceiling fans. They provided me with an…read moreestimate - which I paid $196.73 for. This charge was not applied to my bill. I then decided it would be best to replace the fan rather than fix them. The first time they came out, they removed the fans but couldn't install the new fans as the down pipe (I provided) was the wrong size. Nothing was done for the generator as the needed part was the wrong size (they provided). The second time, they installed the fans, but again did nothing for the generator as the replacement part also didn't fit. I was then informed they couldn't do the generator job as described in the estimate and the new estimate was now $300 more than quoted. Essentially it took 3 trips out here for them to figure out what was actually needed to install the generator. The estimate, I paid for, was useless. I was then billed $1,587 for the fan installation. This included a second trip fee as they had to come back because the fan down pipe I provided was incorrect. I reminded them they had to return anyway as their part was wrong, but they keep telling me I caused the return trip. They finally split the cost with me. I reviewed the invoice carefully and found numerous questionable charges and errors - 75 minutes of supervisor reviewing project with staff @$109/hr, billing assistant time at electrician rate, charging for lunch time, assembling a defective ladder. The final bill to install to ceiling fans in ceilings was $1,321, $266 more than their original invoice. Next time I will rent scaffolding and do it myself.

I wish there were more stars for this…read more Storytime: When Duke Energy upgraded our electric meter, they broke the base, and we experienced worsening brownouts and then blackouts for a few days. When we called Duke Energy to come out, they found the meter was sparking (AKA arc'ing), so they shut off part of our power (one "phase"), so half our lights were out and we could not run appliances, although we had heat and could run a cord to a working outlet to our 'fridge. BUT we had to repair the base (The box your meter sits on either outside or inside your house) at our cost! (We were able to try and submit a claim, which actually was rejected due to a Duke subcontractor did the work ... also,we found out the base might have been failing for a long time before the meter replacement.) First, I tried a company in Durham, because they could come out that night. They came out, and gave a $1,200 estimate to: get a permit, parts, replace the meter base. Fine. But, the person the Durham firm sent was scary in many ways ... I thought he might either electrocute himself or damage my house. Clearly he had no idea what he was doing, from watching and talking with him. My "BS detector" was going crazy. I wanted someone else, and told the firm to hold off while I got a second opinion. Meanwhile, a day wasted with no power in many rooms in the house. I called all the local electricians and everyone was too busy for weeks! Then I tried Bonneville. I emailed them at night and got a call in two hours to schedule! I spoke with Brad and he clearly understood the situation and made me much more confident than the other firm. At Brad's suggestion, I left a key for him to come inside the house so no one had to miss work. At about 10:30 that morning, he called me to tell me he was able to REPAIR the broken meter base, not replace it. He patiently explained EVERYTHING about what happened and why ... literally spent 15 minutes explaining and talking about it. Such an easy experience! The best part? We were only charged $233 for the repair parts and labor, vs. the $1,200 to replace the meter base. Advice: Bring your A game to Bonneville. Be ready to clearly explain your problem in an intelligent way, be a good listener, and you will be rewarded by the best service experience possible. HIGHLY recommended. Richard Stern, Carrboro NC.

I got a reminder from Zara electric that I had a $100 credit. I needed a socket changed out in a light fixture in the bathroom and decided, with $100 credit, I would let Zara electric do it rather than doing it myself. I told them the socket was loose and they sent a man out. He told me there was a diagnostic charge. I told him that I already knew what was wrong and I just needed him to please fix it. My mistake... I assumed since I had a $100 credit that I'd probably be charged an additional $75 or so to fix the socket. He charged me over $400 and said that was taking the hundred dollars off. In other words, a couple hundred for a diagnostic fee and a couple hundred to fix the problem. Before he fixed it, he said I just to sign some papers to give authorization to fix it and I stupidly did not read the papers. I paid them and I will never use them again nor will I recommend them to anybody. The pricing is totally out of this world and if you use them, make sure you check to see what their diagnostic fee is and make sure that they don't charge you that fee in addition to a high repair fee which is what happened to me. The socket I needed repaired for a stuck lightbulb. I did it myself.!!!

We found Preferring Flooring on the Shaw Website. Preferred Flooring did a great job. First, Shaw is a little weird because they don't offer the same products to the consumer market that they offer to new home builders. Preferred Flooring found us the equivalent Shaw engineered hardwood that matched perfectly. Second, they did a great job installing the floors including removing the carpeting from the stairs and installing and staining the stair treads to match the Shaw engineered hardwood. Third, they gave us a reasonable price and came in on budget. We also had them do a little tile work in the master bath, which turned out great. Their salesman Jeff Parker is great to work with as are their installation crews. We highly recommend Preferring Flooring and would absolutely use them again.
