Replaced knob & tube wiring in 1920s home
We had all the knob and tube wiring replaced in our 1920s home. Victor and his helper were great! I liked that they charge by the hour, which meant that I could decide exactly what I wanted done. While they were here anyway I had them add many extra electrical outlets and light fixtures--something that would not have been included in other contractors' estimates. He could give me a rough estimate of how long the additional task might take, and then I could decide whether I wanted to have him do it--the flexibility was very nice. I got lots of sensible stuff done while he was here, for far less than it would have cost to have another electrician come back later to do them. Victor is delightful--polite, considerate, pleasant--which made it much easier to have workmen in the house for several days than it would have been with most companies. They were prompt and efficient, working long days, barely taking time for a quick lunch. They came when promised and kept working until the job was done. I have recommended them to friends and have had them back several times for small jobs. Years later, when replacing a light fixture, I discovered that when Victor replaced the wiring he forgot to change one box over from the old knob and tube style to the modern style--perfectly safe, but it makes it hard to install the new light fixture. When I called him about it (remember, this was YEARS later!) he came within a few days and made the switch and didn't charge me anything! Highly recommended!!! --Becky in East York
