Let me tell you about one of THEE WORST experiences I've had having a contractor in my home.
This review will be long, but the short version is: I DO NOT recommend, and would NEVER use Superior Electrician for their services ever again.
When I called, I was informed there was an $89 appointment fee, but that charge would be applied to any services if I went with them as a company. I asked over the phone, during our first conversation, if I would be able to get the fans installed during the initial appointment, and was told "yes maam. Most times the work can be done that day." Great, because I was in a rush to get them done. I paid the appointment fee with my card over the phone, and was told I would get a confirmation text with my appointment time and receipt. After hanging up... I never received anything (Red Flag #1)I called back the next day, and whomever I spoke with let me know they were grateful I called back because "something was wrong with the system, and the appointment information did not save." (red flag #2). We confirmed an appointment for that Saturday at 10am.
The day of the appointment, Kevin showed up to my home around 11am (not 10am as arranged). He was very pleasant and courteous, and respectful of my home. He was kind to my dogs (which is a huge deal to me), and he went through the home and gave a full assessment. He let me know he could get the ceiling fans installed, and recommended can/recessed lights for the kitchen. He let me know he would have to schedule a time to complete the work, as it would be an 8hr job. (not same day as I requested over the phone (RF #3). He said he could come out to do the job on Thursday of that week. Starting at 9 am. In order to confirm the job, I was required to pay HALF of the total price of the job. For the ceiling fans and recessed lighting, the job total was $1600. I paid $800. EIGHT. HUNDRED. DOLLARS.
They called back the next day and sid "due to some internet issues, we were unable to see a scheduled job on Thursday. We'll need to reschedule for the following day. Friday. I hope that's okay." (RF #4)
It's Friday morning. I get a phonecall at 8:03am from Kevin. Kevin was letting me know that his ONE installer called out sick that day, and they would be unable to do the job as scheduled, and "we can try and fit you in tomorrow, pending him feeling better." (Red flag #5).
Now its Saturday Morning. They texted my phone early that morning, to expect their arrival anywhere from 12-2pm. They did not arrive to my house until 4pm. FOUR PM! (Red Flag #6) 2 hours after the scheduled time. At 6pm, Kevin and Alex walked out my front door and said "we'll be back." They never said where they were going, just that they'd be back. So I wait... and wait, and wait. Finally at 730pm, I call them to find out. Kevin answered and apologized "Sorry maam. The line was long at McDonalds. Over a 35mins wait. So we went to Home Depot. When we leave Home Depot, we have to go get back in line at a fast food place, because we never got food from McDonald's" WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?!?!? They came back to my house at 8pm, and got back to work. Around 930pm... and the ceiling fans still not installed, I had reached my limit.
I took a day or two to mull over everything that happened, and called Kevin back to express my frustrations. I've paid the company nearly $900 and still have ceiling fans parts sprawled out in my home and holes in the ceilings. I explained why I was upset (as if there was a need to explain why I was frustrated). I honestly wanted a refund of my money, but per Kevin "much of the work requested has been done, I won't be able to refund much of the money but I'll see what I can do." He calls back two hours later and lets me know, to help alleviate my frustrations, they would like to complete the job that was started, and I would not have to pay any additional money. While still not satisfied, I agreed. We made arrangements for them to come the following Saturday to complete. Appt was from 2-4pm. On Saturday, they showed up 2 hours EARLY, hung the ceiling fans and left. Alex did make me sign a note that I was satisfied with the work done (I'm sure just to cover them) but they knew that I was not. The ceiling fans were installed but not the way we agreed. The fans were supposed to be extended and hung lower and they were not. Also, they left a ring in the ceiling that I will need someone with drywall experience to correct. Kevin never said anything more to me. No thank you, no apology, nothing.
All in all, this ENTIRE experience was terrible from the first phone call. It was my mistake to continue to try to work with them when all signs pointed to the fact that they should not be working in my home. I regret entirely working with this company and I hope this review helps deter any further business. I would hate to have someone go through the same experience as myself. read more
