I had to add 2 potlights to a kitchen and 2 new pendant lights over a breakfast bar. Being handy, I fully expected to perform the work myself. I learned two things very quickly; the floor joists above as well as an HVAC duct, ABS and pex lines for the ensuite above ran right down the middle of the kitchen ceiling. I knew I needed to call a professional.
I first contacted some of the higher rated electricians on HomeStars and most were very busy; some asked me to wait a month for a quote! I called a few local electricians and they all said I would need to cut out the ceiling to avoid major damage. I even went back to the electricians who worked on my house and they agreed! Not satisfied, I revisited HomeStars and contacted Java. Antonio agreed to come out the next day to provide a quote. The price was not only considerably lower than just about everyone else, he assured me he would not cut into the ceiling! While Antonio was in our home, I mentioned to him I had to hang a very large chandelier in the foyer and he offered to bring his big A-frame ladder so I could borrow it. How could I say no to that?!?! We booked him for the reno and agreed to a date and time to begin.
When Antonio and Laureano arrived, Antonio insisted on NOT starting the work we hired him for until he assisted me with the chandelier first (which I was supposed to install myself!). Once the chandelier was hung, he and Laureano began working in the kitchen; that's when I realized Java was not your typical electrical company. They were more like magicians the way they completed the project.
Not only was I impressed with the expertise of both Antonio and Laureano, I was blown away by their professionalism and manners. They involved me in every step of the process, teaching me a few tricks about electrical work. They went over every detail to ensure we were happy along the way. By the time they left, they felt more like family than two strangers who were in our home to provide a service.
Our kitchen was stunning before we added the additional lighting, but now that we were able to accomplish our reno without damaging the ceiling, our kitchen is even better and I am certain there are not many people out there who can do what Java did.
I can honestly say we expecting to pay a lot more for the reno considering how much effort was involved and where most companies were less eager to take on the project, Java was more concerned with our happiness and the end result than anything else. This alone is the reason you should be contacting Java for ALL your electrical needs.
We're already looking forward to having Antonio and Laureano over for our next project!
Thank you so much guys. You truly are amazing!
