Best Design And Construction in Charlotte NC

My name is Karl Plesz owner of A Fresh Look Inc. one of Charlotte's top remodeling company's. We have used No Shorts Electric the past 6 year. We use them when we're involved in a major remodel or for smaller jobs. They are very reliable and always do a safe job. They always find the SHORT!! I would recommend them to anyone.

Excellent service, quick response and reasonable pricing.

It is great that Bates has superb customer service folks on the phone and was able to send someone out to install a 240V outlet in the garage as early as the next day and the two gentlemen who showed up were super nice ... however ... despite the costs being explicitly stated in advance ($80 trip charge, $80/hr labor, plus parts), I ended up being charged 1.5 hours for just over half an hour's worth of not quite professional work. Two reasons for that: a) I was apparently charged almost an hour for the technician's time to go shopping at Home Depot for the most basic of parts (an outlet, a box for the outlet, a few feet of cabling, etc.), and b) the person who did the work was the new guy and although he was experienced, he was clearly being supervised by the more senior tech for a reason. End result? An outlet that's not flush with the wall because a few corners were cut. I don't get why I have to pay you labor rates to show up at the job site with the proper equipment when I already told you what I needed to have done and I even sent you pictures _well before_ you arrived at the job site. It's not like this person had to leave my home and go far away and then come back (but even then, shouldn't you have some of these things in your truck, especially on the day of the job?). I'm sure he stopped at the Home Depot on the way from his previous gig to this one. I feel like levying a trip charge and labor rates for shopping is technically double-dipping. When I brought up these concerns to their customer support folks, I was told someone would be calling me back (after much resistance and arguing; they're exceptionally trained ... I felt like I called an insurance company to file a claim). Well, three days later, I haven't heard from anyone.

UPDATE 08/24: After getting nowhere with the back-office folks, the owner himself was kind enough to speak with me, hear me out, and send Justin out to make it right by his customer. I really do appreciate that. I am definitely pleased with the end result. However, I think it's important for customers to know, up front, that they're liable for the electrician's time spent procuring the parts needed for the job. If given the choice, I would rather go get them myself instead of paying labor rates for that Home Depot trip. It could be that I'm just that naive and that this is how the entire industry operates.

Great place to work

Excellent service. Needed quick work done. Was prompt, professional and thorough. I’ll use again.

Great team!!

Serg was very professional and did outstanding quality work at a reasonable price. I won't hesitate to call Father & Son for future electrical needs. Highly recommended.

Good People

Sucked.

Electrical contractor with much history, collaborating in the creation of the skyland of Charlotte and other important projects in the region, definitely it is a reference in the region.

We see these guys at least once a week. This is a great company stable in size and opportunity possible.

Powersource installed and continues to maintain our whole house generator unit. They did a great job and we’ve been very happy, especially when the power goes out! ?

My neighbor hired Al to replace rotted siding and trim on the outside of the front of his house and install outside lighting and a new electrical outlet. I had been helping my neighbor (who is not able to work on his home) with some small projects on his home. I knew of Al's professional reputation and suggested my neighbor hire him which my neighbor did. This was a project my neighbor wanted done and I knew it was beyond my experience level and knowledge to attempt this on my own.

I was able to assist Al on some of the siding that needed an extra pair of hands. (I've done minor home repair and remodeling myself as a non-professional for 40+ yrs & some lay person's knowledge.) So, I was on site the entire time and was able to see Al's work through the entire process. While not a large job, Al treated his work with the importance and dedication as though it was a truly important job that he valued doing. (Al replaced about 100 sq feet of siding.)

I must say Al does incredibly excellent work!! He explained the reasons for some of his construction strategy which greatly impressed me with how well he thinks through projects like this. He works efficiently and demonstrates a very high standard of excellence!

The price was extremely reasonable for my neighbor to be able to afford to hire Al. My neighbor and myself both believe my neighbor got more than his money's worth out of this job! Excellent work & great value cost wise.

Al's knowledge and expertise was just superb! He has a remarkably professional and amicable can do attitude with the experience and knowledge to back it up. He communicates a professional confidence in his manner that is reassuring.

It was a real pleasure to do business with Al. Both my neighbor and myself are super pleased with the high quality of the job and the efficient speed and timeliness that it was done! The front on my neighbors home looks fantastic and the quality of work will have the siding and trim last for many many years to come! I feel like Al went above and beyond my expectations to achieve a very high standard of excellence in his work.

Affordable, professional, experienced, knowledgeable, likeable personality and a job well done! Good work, Al! Thanks for doing the job!

Great place to work, good Christian values!!

My go to electrician for the past five years. Yeah, they are that good and the pricing is always fair. Best part is the speed and that they actually pick up the phone when I call them. Lots of electricians and contractors never answer the phone. I will keep using Bates for as long as possible.

I used this company a couple years ago for heating system install. I'm writing this review now because they treat their employees like trash. The fact that they make their employees forfeit their EARNED vacation time is absolutely shameful. I plan on using one of their competitors to have my ducts cleaned.
