Best Hourly Rate in Seattle WA
Electrician
It was the absolute worst experiences I had with any service providers. If I could give it negative stars I would. DO NOT recommend!
1. It took took them 4 visits spanning an entire month and a bunch of excessive charges to complete some basic fixes
2. The estimates they provided were largely inaccurate for what needed done
3. They sent an inexperienced electrician who was not very skilled to my house. He spent many hours and couldn't figure out what was going on and yet they kept charging me with diagnosis at full rate
4. The owner was extremely rude and impatient. When I called to discuss the charges, he talked over me, kept interrupt me, and hung up on me. I was shocked by his rudeness.
Below are the details. In hindsight, visit 2 and 3 are completely inefficiency due to the first electrician's lack of experience. And yet I was still charged. Overall it was a very unpleasant experience. Definitely don't wish it upon anyone else.
Visit 1: Charged for 1 hour, $200
Initial diagnosis. The electrician told me he needs to come back for the ceiling. Estimated an additional hour needed plus fixing 7 outlets.
Visit 2: Charged for 2 additional hours of diagnosis, $400
It turned out the 7 plugins did not require for any repair, which was the total opposite of what the electrician estimated. He diagnosed the fan in living room but no clear conclusion on why it was not working. The technician told me he needed to come back with a colleague again for the ceiling.
Visit 3: Charged for 1 hour of diagnosis plus some fixes, $500
2 technician did the trouble shooting. The living room fan still had no power. They told me they need to come back again and run a power source to get the fan going.
Visit 4: Charged for fixing the ceiling fan, $600+
Work quoted: 4 hours of complex work
Work performed: The more senior electrician finished the job in less than an hour. Yet I was still charged for the highest end of the estimate.

Re: Igor the owner
I'm not sure which of the following qualifies as a nice conversation in your book, and if any of them does, we probably live on different planets.
- Cutting me of mid conversation repeatedly, constant interruption, talking over me
- Hanging up on me before I can get a word in
- Failing to reach a mutually agreed upon solution
Putting up a facade on a public forum like Google does not make the past experience nice either. Doing good work and ensuring your customer's satisfaction is what counts. In my month long interaction with you and your company, the minimum bar was not met.
I stand by my original review. Not Recommend.
