Don’t give them an open checkbook

Beware, this company will take every opportunity to rip you off and smile. We had a new patio poured and needed some outlets along a privacy wall , we already had power out there so no pulling wires , just hooking into existing, installed a light and replaced a faulty GFI ... we didn’t get a written estimate because our concrete contractor knew the guy from Mr.Electric and said he did a good job and was reasonable we asked how much they thought it would cost and tech said laughing I’ll keep it under 2,500.00 just joking . This was totally not the way we usually do business, I always get a written estimate, but failed to do so in this case and paid dearly . When all the dust settled he charged us a whopping 1,450.00 with discounts , shocking ! oh he had it all itemized, travel time back and forth from his shop , having to run and get parts ( knew the job and should have had parts on truck ) 6 hours of labor !! In hindsight after checking with other companies, this job should have been around 800.00
