Reviews

What customers say

Several customers praise careful workmanship and professional service. A customer with a sparking outlet says Bates sent someone promptly to diagnose and fix it; another credits Baron with completing the work on the promised timeline and communicating clearly. One customer reports that the owner arrived in dirty boots without protective covers, seemed annoyed when asked about them, and did not disclose a diagnostic fee before the visit; the customer says the proposed fix covered only two of three breakers.

Customer Reviews

Van Boon

Rude owner. Who comes to a person's home in their dirty boots from the snow without protective boot covers? He said oh they just ran out. He seem rather annoyed when I asked him to check if he had any. I also carry some as we've had a lot of contractors come by. In any case, so much for transparent pricing. Charged $150+ to diagnose a panel, and offered half-a-fix. I was expecting $100 as I stood there and watch them take 5 minute to test if there's any voltage on the breakers. They did literally nothing else. They did not disclose the diagnostic fee before coming out. They offered to replace 2 of the 3 breakers because the other one is a gfci and they don't carry it? How about quote the gfci breaker and go buy it from Home Depot. Why the hell would I want 2/3 of my equipment repaired? Asked for a quote for a panel replacement, and it was about 2000$. They saw the large home and went on their Highway robbery scheme.

Baron is extremely knowledgeable and professional — he makes everything look easy, but it’s clear that comes from years of experience. He got everything done right on the timeline he promised and even went above and beyond. His prices are very fair, and communication was excellent from start to finish. I’m so happy with his work and will definitely keep recommending and using his services! My electricity is back on in only 2 days after meeting him! Really awesome ??
