Complete house rewiring from knob and tube
I had several electricians to come out and quote on rewiring my century home, and I'm glad I went with Alex at Mapleleaf Electric. Alex and his crew (Daniela, Ken, Avi, and Tyler) were prompt, professional, honest and, most importantly, were quite reasonable on price. They had a lot of great reviews backing their work and I can definitely see why!
Alex really cares about his customers and places a lot of emphasis on customer service, and you can tell that his crew feels the same way. They were incredibly helpful and also quite meticulous in their work as they removed all of the old knob and tube wiring from my 130-year-old house, replacing everything and installing new outlets, light switches, and breakers. They did the work in the least invasive way possible, making small holes and fishing wires through rather than knocking huge holes in my plaster walls, which I really appreciated, and also patched up afterward. They consulted with me whenever a decision had to be made so that I could customize where the plugs and switches were located, which was really great as I have a lot of renovation plans! They also provided me with new light fixtures to replace some of the old broken ones left by the previous owner, and installed new lightbulbs for me as well. Best of all, Alex happily honoured the original quote he gave me for the work and didn't tack on extra fees or try to upsell me on services - I really appreciated this as I had a very tight budget to work with, and Alex really understood my position.
I called Alex and crew back a couple months later to install a washer and dryer plug and also quote on some new work to be done. I explained to Alex that I was getting a new washer and dryer that weekend, and Alex and Ken showed up promptly at 9 a.m. on a Saturday morning to do the work for me so that I could begin to use my new washer and dryer right away.
Whenever I have any electrical work to be done in the house, I'm definitely calling Alex. He and his crew and incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and courteous, and they really took the hassle out of a such a big project. Thanks so much for everything, guys!
