Electrical Upgrade and Mast Relocation

Robert and his team were courteous and respectful. Unfortunately their estimate of the time required to finish the job was inaccurate. What that meant was that when the city inspector came to sign off on the work so that BC hydro could then come and reconnect the power, the inpsector refused to do so, as the job was not (in his opinion) completed to his satisfaction. What this meant, was that we would be without power for as many days as it took the inspector to have an opening in his schedule to return. Robert was not present when the inspector made this assessment and was on another job at the time. When he did return to the news he was apologetic, and offered to put us in a hotel, or slight discount on the charge, and did his best to contact the inspector - an effort which was initially fruitless. He then left again for another job leaving his assistants behind to finish the work. Needless to say this was all a bit stressful. Fortunately the BC Hydro Crew returned at the end of the day, and were willing with some cajoling to reconnect the power even though this was against regulation. We were relieved. We work at home and had deadlines to be met...this all could have been a big disaster if not for the graciousness of that Hydro Crew. As it happened the inspector was not able to return for a few days so we would have been in the dark more than 48 hours.
So both we and Robert dodged a significant bullet. And certainly our primary bone to pick is with the inspector not this company per se.
Robert was good about it all. Clear and contrite and helpful.
The only complaint we had after the fact was that we were left with all the cleanup. Outdated wire, the old mast, attachments, were all left on the ground outside our house. Accumulated drywall dust and residue was swept up but not thrown out. With or without all that fuss, I think the house/grounds should have been left as they were beforehand.

Replace oven fan, replace bathroom fan, fix heater, other items

I have used Robert Redford Electrical on two occasions and the service has been fantastic from start to finish. They are always able to get someone out very quickly and the electricians have arrived right on time and got the work done quickly, without leaving any mess. Prices are very reasonable and they even accept cheques. They even make a follow up call to ensure satisfaction. This is my "go to" company for electrical work.

replacing a few light fixtures

I found it difficult to find an electrician who would come out to replace only a few light fixtures until i went on to Homestars and found this company. I really like the fact Robert offers free estimates and i was very satisfied with his work and defienetly would refer him to my family and friends. Thanks again Robert.

Replacement of electrical sevice panel

Our home inspection required us to replace our existing electrical panel, among other upgrades.
Without hesitation I contacted RL Redford Electrical to bring my home up to code. Previously, RL Electrical Services had done some upgrades to our home in June 2010.
I would highly recommend them to my friends and family as they are prompt, courteous, the final cost came in as quoted. Erin & Jarrod went above and beyond my expectations to do the work required.
RL Redford Electrical will be my first and only call in any future electrical needs I may have.

Reconstruction of Aluminum Wiring throughout the house

I was very satisfied with the work they did and how they were
very eager to please me. Apparently what I thought was beige and
what they thought was beige was not the same and even after the
job was completed they came back and replaced the plug and switch plates
to the beige that I wanted at no extra cost.. I was very pleased with that service as I thought I was going to have to settle with what I had. I call that customer service.

reconstruction of aluminum wiring

Mr. Redford completed reconstruction of the aluminum wiring in my house in a very quick and efficient way. When the job was complete we noticed that some switches and plugs did not match the existing ones. So Mr. Redford corrected this problem at no charge, and even went out of his way to purchase the correct items (which he did not have in stock), again at no charge. I have no hesitation in recommending Mr. Redford and his company to others.

Electrical Service

Robert was very helpful. My hubby handles most of the repair work around the house and for father's day 2010, I wanted to do something for him. So I called Robert at RL Redford Electrical and told him I wanted to have a pool table light installed and a few light fixtures moved and added throughout the house.

Robert came in and put a light in our pantry under our stairs, fixed a few switches and installed the pool table light. 20 years I had no light under our stairs and with a flick of a switch there was now a light. Both myself & my husband were grateful at the speed he worked and the reasonable price he charged for all the work.

Thank you Robert!
All the best
