I was referred to Triton by some people at the Lamp Warehouse who said they'd heard good things about Sal's company. My first experience was pretty good - I had an overhaul of the electricity and wiring in my 1923 Finnish Co-op apartment. I thought the job was comprehensive, so it made sense that it cost $3,300 (Dec. 20ish 2008). But less than six months after that (June 2008), the front end of the apartment's wiring went out. Turned out, the first rewiring wasn't the whole unit, it was mainly along the living room, dining room and kitchen line. I didn't have a receipt or work statement to refer to, so I wasn't clear that this would need to be done in a new job.
The new job, which included rewiring the bathroom and bedroom area with new dedicated wires (to replace the cloth ones) was quoted as $1,700. But this time around the "little things" were problematic. Switch plates for the light switches and outlets were removed without being replaced, or in the case of one that was replaced, was jutting out at least 4 mm from the wall, so I continually am slicing my hand on the switch plate.
The estimated two-man crew and two days turned out to be one man working one and a half days, so I am baffled as to why it cost so much. There was also clumps of spackle dripped all over my walls and on the jackets hanging in the hall near where they were. These coats weren't underneath them, just sort of near by.
Also - it took weeks of trying to coordinate to get the second job done, so if you're in a hurry, this might not be the place. Miffed the second time around, but based on the first job, I believe it's a decent firm. read more
