Hired on Thumbtack

I hired Fernando to do two projects: 1) install exterior outlets on the front and back of my house, and 2) replace the overhead light fixtures in two bedrooms. Both projects were completed successfully and I’m satisfied with the end result. However, we had two issues during the project: first, Fernando initially overpromised by estimating he’d be able to complete both projects the same day I booked him, in one afternoon (Saturday). I booked him and agreed to the price on that basis. Unfortunately, he did not complete the job in one day as promised, and needed to return the next day (Sunday). We changed our Sunday plans and agreed to a start time of 10:00 am. We didn’t hear from him until 11:30, when he claimed to be on his way, and then he didn’t arrive until after 1pm. Three hours of sitting and waiting. What was supposed to be a simple one-afternoon engagement ended up taking our whole weekend, since he didn’t finish until dinner time. So while the work quality was fine, I’m very unsatisfied with Fernando’s unreliability and poor communication, and would not recommend him on that basis.

Excellent work! I didn’t think I would get somebody on a Sunday and he was available. Came on time and quickly did the install. For sure will use his services again

Hired on Thumbtack

Asked for a junction box for floodlight to be installed and there wasn't one installed. An estimate of $200-$300 was given before work was started and ended up being $400. There are cuts to the exterior which weren't even used. When installing the floodlight, none of the screws from the flood light are being used so it's not secure as the product was intended. Update: the company reached back out and I was able to at least straighten the fixture out myself. I appreciate the response and their willingness to refund some of the project cost back. I didn't push for full refund because the electrician worked late into the night.

Where happy you were able to reach some form of resolution and once apologize on behalf of the tech. Rest assured this situation was not common. We have addressed the issue and taken steps to prevent incidents like this, from happening in the future. Thank you for your feed back, and for taking the time to help us improve.
