    Where to begin:1. *********** got little 'right' and then stopped showing up entirely.2. Recessed lights were installed out of alignment (rows of lights were off by greater than 6 inches which required the lights to be moved, re-installed, ceiling to be patched and repainted!)3. Electrical panel was both mis-labeled and labeled with a fat sharpie marker so one can't even read what breakers go to what section of the house.4. Ran CAT6 ethernet cable in the walls, but left them just cut and unlabeled in the basement (ie. no way to actually use the cables because they lacked the portion one inserts into an ethernet port - literally just ran the cable portion) and refused to complete the work.5. Failed to install under-cabinet lighting.HDMI cable which was run through the ceiling for a projector was defective and does not work (major headache to now fix).6. Installed used or outdated mis-matched smoke detectors in our home.7. Failed to run wires, as instructed and contracted to do so, for our doorbell. Resulted in hundreds of extra dollars being spent due to the wires needing to be snaked through finished walls v. wires run during construction.8. Utilized non-compliant speaker wire for in-wall installation (have not tested whether the wires, like the ***** are defective). Code officer threatened to fine us for incorrect wires not being 'up to code'.9. Left exterior outlets, during construction, exposed to the elements allowing water to penetrate freely through the conduit, enter the house, and damage our new hardwood floors.Sure, ****** truck's slogan reads, "Jeff the Electrician: We Return Phone Calls", but trust me, you don't want to have a reason for **** to call you back. What a low-bar to telegraph to the world anyway. Poor work, unprofessional, and extremely expensive to have another electrician come in and fix his work.
