Stay away by Peter S. at InsiderPages
High hourly rates, electrician's assistant is mandatory regardless of whether or not he is needed, 100% plus mark up on all materials, will not acknowledge mistakes or errors, regardless of the facts, will bill you to correct their mistakes, would rather lose a client than an argument, plus the apparent owner, Kirk Talbot, is arrogant and a shameless gouger on any opportunity to get more money from you.

Avoid by No W. at InsiderPages
I hired this company twice with satisfactory results.

Once when I needed chandelier hung the nice electrician went above and beyond the call of duty by helping patch the plaster.

Another time I needed a ground installed for my new refrigerator, but the electrician found the outlet was already grounded. He said he had to bill me for an hour anyway (even though it took him about 5 minutes) but he agreed to do some other work in that time since I was paying him for the entire hour (which I found nice).


So why the bad review? After these two small projects I called out Talbott to do a lot more extensive (and presumably expensive) work. For that, Kirk Talbott himself came out. He acted smug and he hardly took any notes, which surprised me. I never got an estimate from him. When I called back I heard that it would be sent out that week, but I still never got an estimate. (Sound like any other reviewers on here?) I didn't bother calling back again.


Too bad, because the guys he employed seemed honest and did nice work. If they don't need the work enough to even write an estimate then I'll find someone who does.

No Estimate Given by Tom T. at InsiderPages
Kirk Talbott came to our home to give us an estimate on a recessed lighting installation, but he never followed through on actually getting that estimate to us. I called him once to ask him where it was and he said he'd get it to me. He never did and it's been over three weeks now since he came to our house. I guess he's got bigger fish to fry???

Actually showed up with two bills, one...
We had our home upgraded by Talbott a few years ago and the owner showed up to collect payment with a hugely marked up bill. My husband argued with him for a few minutes and then ...

Overcharging and Arrogant by Dan S. at InsiderPages
Talbott tried to overcharge me hundreds of dollars by billing me for time their workers weren't on the job, extra time they had to spend to correct their own mistake (they showed up without the right fixtures and had to install temps then swap them out later), and a gasoline surcharge that was more than 100% of their total fuel cost for the job. Plus, their mark-up for materials was pretty obscene. When I objected, after several e-mails and letters, they finally agreed to a fair price but then refused to do anymore work for me!! Kirk Talbott, the owner, is arrogant (he never accepted responsibility for any of his transgressions) and rude (he entered my house without knocking and without even saying hello to my wfie and I) and he's one of these guys who would rather lose a customer than lose an argument. Its a shame too, because I actually liked their electrician and the quality of their work. On balance - avoid avoid avoid!
