I needed to re-wire the whole house with BX (Metal Clad) cable due to mice eating the Romex cables. We also needed to replace the service boxes with state-of-the-art boxes. John quoted $17,800 without making any calculations on paper. I accepted, and he started to send his electricians to work. We had an average of 4 electricians daily, with a high of 8 and low of 2 men. It took them three weeks to finish the job. The job was inspected and passed. Inside the house, he installed 5 smoke alarms which we needed to pass inspection, two ceiling fans (one was in the living-room which had none before), He replaced our dining-room overhead lamp and all the bulbs we had with the latest whatever it is. There were 74 holes inside and outside the house for his men to pull cables throughout. We have a 220/3-phase box for the air conditioner, and a 220/single phase for shop equipment. They replaced all our outdoor sockets with new weatherproof sockets and boxes and even added a couple for the sprinkler system. He installed an 8-ft. double fluorent light for my shop with many new sockets throughout the shop for equipment. Whenever I needed anything from John, he was always available and even though we had agreed to pay $17,800, at the end of the job he told me to keep the last $300. Has anyone ever heard of a contractor doing that? John is a very busy man with lots of work and several sites going at any one time but I would not think of using anyone else. As a comparison, a famous big-name electrical contractor quoted $58,000 for the same job! John asked for a $6,000 deposit which I refused and he cut it down to $4,000. After two weeks, I began to worry that he had spent more on wages alone, not to mention the reams of cable and fixtures he was bring in. Everything works beautifully now, I have a beautiful Ceiling fan in my living-room, 5 smoke alarms I never had before, and outdoor sockets for my springler systems around the house. My shop never had a proper light and it is super lit up with a double 8-foot fluorescent light. John never even acted annoyed with me and always granted whatever I wanted of him. I recommend this man's services without reservation. You will be delighted with John's work and his manner. All his men are gentlemen too. You can call me directly if you like.
