The original request was to have a new chandelier installed. Upon switching support bracket, they noticed a hidden junction box. Having not being the owner at the time of the renovations and seeing a good amount of home renovation shows on HGTV where you learn about the hazards of shoddy electrical work (which can lead to a fire), the cost of the original request quickly shot up because of the additional work required.
Sure it can be upsetting to have to deal with unanticipated costs but that is not the fault of the company. They are ethical in their work in that what they do meets "building code" which apparently not all companies follow. Knowing that your home will be up to code and a common risk of a house fire is being eliminated. Unfortunately, it is what a homeowner should budget for after they have moved into a new place.
The Hi-Lite electrical team made sure they were available to get the job done over the span of three consecutive days and before the long weekend. They were prompt in showing up when they said they would and put in a full day's work to meet their deadlines.
In the end, our electrical was properly wires and electrical outlets were actually upgraded to meet codes that aren't even in effect for another two years and of course, the chandelier got installed.
