Hired an electrician from craigslist for a small laundry list of things around the house and he did a shit job. Fucked up installing four recessed cans, cut the holes too big, didn't use the template, didn't read the installation directions for the housings, etc. Took forever to install a patio ceiling fan, was unable to install a Lutron 3-way switch which I ultimately did myself after he left. Again, didn't bother to even look at the manufacturer's installation instructions. Just pronounced the brand new switch "broken" and said I should take it back to Home Depot.

I'm handy but I don't fuck around with electrical because I hate it and would rather pay a professional.

I need:

Four replacement recessed housings installed, a switch box relocated, a chandelier replaced, and couple more new cans installed. Nothing major, nothing complicated.

I had gotten a second quote prior to this guy and he was $750 for about 4 hours worth of work. Yeah GTFO. Do electricians get paid $200/hr now?

Helix Tech electric did great work for me. Joe (602) 931-0189

Ran 240 to my garage and ran a few 110 outlets. Clean and fast work.

What did the Craigslist guy charge you? There is so much work right now good tradesman can charge what ever the market will bear.
