This company was little more expensive then other companies we had quote on our kitchen renovation, but he was a master electrician, so thought the job would handled more professionally. The job involved new ceiling and under counter lighting. The cupboards were removed so full access was available to preinstall the electrical for the under counter lights. After the cupboards were installed the electrician returned to finish the install. My husband called me at work in a panic because they drilled a half inch hole in the bottom of our new cabinets to run the conduit up the inside back. When I got home, there was a large silver wire running up the inside corner of the cabinet. I asked if this was normal because I'd never seen this before in other peoples cabinets. My husband later insisted he install the lights properly with the silver wire behind the drywall. He corrected it, but why wouldn't he have done it right the first time when the cabinets were down? We were very upset. Also, he insisted that an electrical outlet must be installed at the end of the counter. We explained we didn't need or want it. He did it anyway, regardless of our wishes, and the caulking he used to secure the plate, turned the area around the plate yellow. We replaced the end panel, which was paid for by the electrician and before having the electrical outlet installed sgain, we contacted the Electrical Safety Authority to review the situation. They informed us that an end electrical outlet was not required. So, why didn't he contact ESA to make the judgement call? After all it was our kitchen and we were the customer. We would not reccommend or use this company again. Our impression was that he thought he knew what should be done, without communicating to us or taking our wants into consideration. There were needless complications and aggrevations.
