Kitchen / Family Room Pot Light Remodel

Long story short, I would not recommend Gravity Electrical.

Connor was late, and left early every day. A 2 day job turned into 4.

He also took every opportunity to cut corners, or cut costs from my initial quote.

Whether it was, asking to:
- Run wire on top of my cabinets instead of in the attic I had asked for.
- Run 14/2 wire from my master lightswitch instead of the 14/3 I requested so I could power my light / fan independently.
- Use remotes instead of mechanical switches in my kitchen like I had requested.

None of this happened, but only because I was there to babysit.

On top of that, their Drywalling contractor charged me $1800 for 6 hours of work. I get it's a small job, to patch 5 holes after an electrician comes in. But to charge $300 / hour, is a tough pill to swallow any way you look at it. I was estimated $1000. I have never, had an estimate come in at almost double, without being consulted.

At the end of the day, I feel like their drywaller ripped me off, and their electrician was good but only marginally better then DIY.

And to further drive home that point:

Both Connor and Pelumi said that I wouldn't be able to power the fan / light in my master bedroom independently. Wouldn't even try to wire it up so that I could. I tried, and it works as expected. Power to my fan is controlled by the remote that came with it, and power to the light is controlled from the light switch.

Approximate cost of services:
$4,000.00

Company Response

Hi Glenn, I'm sorry that you are disappointed with your experience. Estimating drywall repairs is always tricky. Which is why we state very clearly in writing and verbally that those numbers are just estimates. Aside from the drywall repairs, our pricing on the quote, was the exact same as on the invoice. The signed quote and our email discussions, clearly stated that remote switches would be used to save on drywall holes and repairs. It was at your request that the mechanical switches were used causing additional drywall removal and subsequent repairs.

If you would like to discuss things further, please feel free to give me a call. You can also call the drywaller directly to voice your concerns.

Enjoy your new lights.
