Basement rennovation

My contractor hired Matt to upgrade the wiring in my house in Squamish. We had to upgrade the system from 100 amps to 200 amps and add all of the wiring for a new basement suite.

My contractor decided to hang on to 10% of the bill until the work was fully completed. After that, there was a huge disagreement between my contractor and Matt about what happened and a lot of finger pointing. Matt's job passed inspection without any problems but it should be possible to find a way to complete a job that does not end up causing so many problems at the end.

Approximate cost of services:

Company Response

Hi Mike,

Well I'm just glad you were able to collect all the facts first before casting judgement. ;-)
Seriously though, thank you for your understanding, mainly to the fact that your "general contractor" was caught doing uncertified electrical work in your home under my company's permit, and billing you extra for it. Unfortunately the BC safety authority does not take lightly to this fact, nor can my company be held liable for his work if anything were to go wrong. I decided it was in both our best interests to finish up and move on. As mentioned, efforts were made to reach you earlier on however, not surprisingly, your contact info was not forthcoming.

Best of luck,
Matt.

Basement rennovation

My contractor hired Matt to upgrade the wiring in my house in Squamish. We had to upgrade the system from 100 amps to 200 amps and add all of the wiring for a new basement suite.

My contractor decided to hang on to 10% of the bill until the work was fully completed. This is a standard practice.

Matt then went back into the house and cut out a the new wire in the attic that runs to the new Meter location and took it. This caused probably $500-$1,000 in damage, wasted a lot of time for my contractor, and the wire itself is worth about $400.

We are now filing a police report. Stay away from Matt. The way he handled the situation shows a lack of professionalism and integrity.
