We at Richardson Seating use Current Electric as our electrician for the last 4 years. They have been so reliable since day one. We operate out of a 100 year building and with that comes a lot of issues. Current Electric has been able to problem solve issues and able to offer solutions with keeping cost down.

Report
The chandelier looks great but the installer took 4 different trips in a matter of 2 hours to "get parts" and then after he was done had to go back to the van to write up the paper work which he then charged me another 15 minutes to make it a nice even 2.30 - This was an hour and a half job at the most. And while it looks great I question why he needed to sit in his van for 5-10 minute intervals.
One time it was "the plate wont cover the hole" how about bringing all your parts up the first time? Also cut hole to wide and there is a nice nick in the ceiling and I was told "you can probably patch that" Very disappointed and you guys were highly recommended.
