For two guys for an hour their charge was reasonable, even though at my age it is expensive to hire anyone... I compare them to another electrician I hired-here in Boulder-who took forever and did a terrible job and cost twice as much in the long run. I'd say these guys are as good as they come.

We had a challenging experience working with Tru Craft. During the initial walkthrough to look at…read morethe various projects, it seemed that Tru Craft would be able to handle the various jobs we had (installing recessed lighting, replacing bathroom fans, replacing ceiling fans). After work was started, we started hearing excuses/justifications as to why certain parts of the job could not be completed properly (or completed at all). Mostly they blamed us for selecting equipment (new Panasonic bathroom fans and Minka Aire ceiling fans) they they did not prefer. Similarly, they objected (after the job was started, of course) to installing Lutron dimmer switches on the recessed lighting because they did not like the style of switch we wanted (again, a major name brand that we would have expected electricians to be comfortable with). All told, they left the bathroom fans only partly installed (we had to hire another contractor to redo the work correctly) and the ceiling fans click and wobble. We were told many times that things would have gone better if this had been "new construction," which was strange considering it was clear from the beginning that the work was to be done on an existing home. They did do a good job installing the recessed lighting, which was the only part of the job that went smoothly (except for installation of the switches, which had to be completed by someone else given Tru Craft's objections around using the Lutron switches we wanted). Tru Craft may be good choice for smaller/simpler jobs, or jobs where specific equipment is not required, but we ended up needing to use another company to complete our scope of work. (For what it's worth, the other company repaired/completed Tru-Craft's work quickly and without complaint regarding the equipment).

Apprentice's work had to be re-done and we were charged anyway. We now have to run an extension cord to the other side of our living room because the only outlet we had over there was never reconnected. Although we informed the Volt Pro owner of this, he will not fix it. Apprentice came out to fix some things but told us he was only allowed to work on the "fixes" for an hour and he could not get to the outlet during that time.

1. While the on-demand water heater was selected by the architect and builder, Streamline's master…read moreplumber (who was ultimately terminated) was responsible for installation and making sure the system actually worked. That didn't happen. The unit installed (rated at 2.2 GPM) can't handle normal, simultaneous use. A 1.75 GPM shower works fine on its own, but the moment you turn on a second fixture--like the sink faucet--the temperature in both drops by 10+ degrees within seconds. This should have been caught during basic testing. (2. The same plumber also left issues with the shower not draining properly.) Streamline's newly hired master plumber weeks later came out to address some of these issues, tested the system, and confirmed that the water heater is undersized for the application. Despite identifying the issue, I have not received any follow-up or assistance from him either. A licensed electrical engineer confirmed that the electrical panel can handle a larger-capacity unit. Streamline/Brian the owner knows this. I've been trying to reach Streamline for several weeks to coordinate a properly sized replacement--something I've already offered to pay the difference--but have not received a response. Interestingly, when my husband called, the call was returned the same day. We were supposed to have heard back after they connected with the Rheem rep but they've they gone cold. As have we. 3. Separately, the shower arm and head were installed too low, and the fixture started pulling away from the wall shortly after installation, reportedly because "something fell inside the wall." This was fixed after I sent a photo of the falling fixture. At this point, I would appreciate a direct response so we can resolve this and move forward. 4. Lastly, they also charged close to $500 to unclog a toilet with a snake.

Carroll is my go-to for all HVAC, highly recommended!

I hired Welzig once, and a CMS technician showed up to do the service. He did the work quickly and replaced my humidifier contactor pad for free, but then the selling started. Replace my perfectly good Honeywell thermostat with a smart controller ($500+) that uses forecasts from the internet instead of the house temperature to decide when to run. Clean the ducts for $1,000 (do they know about the ValPak $299 company?). Add a water alarm device for $500 (I already have one from a multipack I got at Costco for $20). Literally $10k in recommended "improvements", and they really really wanted me to sign up for a service membership. Sure I get my tune ups, but also a plumbing and electrical consult I don't need each year. I have no confidence whatsoever they wouldn't intentionally damage or fail to service my unit in order to get me to buy a new one. I'm a redneck engineer from the South. I'm used to chainsawing my way out of the neighborhood after hurricanes, building blast furnaces using old lawnmowers, and cobbling together whatever I'm wanting to make (chicken coops, rabbit hutches, fences, you name it) out of whatever scraps are laying around or free on Craigslist. I'm scrappier and more miserly than most, but for those like me who are inclined to open their condenser when it stops running instead of calling an HVAC company to spend $250 on diagnostics, this is not the company for you anymore.

Later on when i turned it on i realized they had installed it backwards and the supply and returns were all reversed. They were out the next day had the whole thing removed and reinstalled correctly in about 6 hours. I think this is a good company because they are fast to respond to issues and fix their mistakes. All contractors make mistakes and the good ones are the ones who fix them with minimal headaches to the customer.
