What is professionalism? In simple terms, it is doing everything politely, competently, exhibiting mastery of the trade and an understanding and experience with related peripheral factors. Solutions Electrical Electrician, Joe and his apprentice, Stephanie were everything I could have hoped for to install six new pot lights and two pendant fixtures in my kitchen, replacing a 13 year old fluorescent fixture that is no longer in style.
The Team arrived a few minutes early – punctuality is really being politeness. They brought all the necessary materials – dimmers, switches, wall boxes and octagon boxes for the ceiling – all specifically for retrofit work and high quality. They even brought a very heavy duty bag for garbage!
Together we took about 2 hours to lay out the new fixtures to achieve the optimum aesthetics and even lighting coverage. All the openings for pulling in new wiring were cut with a hole saw fitted with a dust shield. Cabinets and the new counter top were protected by plastic sheeting. Wall repair will be relatively easy since I have all the pieces that were cut out – thanks Joe. The existing circuits were relocated to suit the new fixtures and Stephanie began installing the pot lights. Joe then demonstrated a combination of magic and perseverance in running in a new circuit from the basement – the existing floor was really tough drilling because of some of the material being particle board which blinded the screw tip on the drill. Ultimately the wire appeared in the basement ceiling and was fished to the panel and connected. The hole in the wall used to drill through the floor became an outlet – again, thanks.
The lighting is bright, modern and looks great. For the work involved, the cost was very fair and the high quality fixtures will pay off in long term reliability. I was fortunate to have such a great team perform the work – I would use Solutions Electrical again if I needed electrical services, and I would not say that if I wasn’t extremely pleased with the results.
