When I bought my Davisville Semi is June of 2010, I was told the knob & tube wiring needed to be replaced. I interviewed about 7 electricians who walked through my home in about 15 minutes and gave me a price. As I moved through the process, I noticed that the comments and approach were not consistent from one company to another, which confused me. I had never done this kind of renovation to a home, so I was naive and did not know what to expect. Then, Antonio arrived to do a quote with his two young sons in tow. He spent over an hour going from room to room, asking questions and making notes. He explained his process of "fishing" wires, so as to make minimal, small holes in the walls. My walls are plaster, so this was a consideration that no one else had mentioned. His boys were very patient an polite throughout the visit and I just got SUCH a good feeling from them. I felt Antonio was the kind of person I could trust with this work. When I received the quote, I was surprised by how much higher the price was from the other quotes and I called Antonio to discuss it. He was very happy to help me understand the amount of labour that is involved in his approach as opposed to the other companies who will leave massive holes in my walls for someone else to fix ( none of them had told me this) and he assured me that I would be very pleased with the result. I went back to my contractor and we did the calculations of what it would cost for him to repair the holes after the other electricians finished, and I realized that Antonio's price was reasonable AND would eliminate the headache of having more contractors in my home after the electrical work was done. I REALLY wanted Antonio to this job, and so I went with my intuition and hired him. I have to say that hiring Antonio was the BEST decision I have ever made in terms of home improvements. His staff were polite, honored our space and worked within our daily schedule. The job started the day they promised and it exactly took two weeks, as they said it would. They arrived early each day and waited outside until we all left the house, so that we would not be inconvenienced in any way. They cleaned up after themselves EVERY DAY and were out of the house between the time that we arrived home and ate dinner. If you would have come to visit me after dinner on any given day, you would never have known there had been 5 electricians in my home all day. Their work was impeccable and everything went smoothly with no surprises. We passed inspection and I now have a certificate that I can show in the event that I sell this home in the future. Antonio is VERY busy, but he is worth the wait. A lovely man who deserves every bit of the success that he has earned.
