Absolute Electrical

My job was done in July last year. They went Amazon services and gave me really low quote before starting the job... At the end they charge me five times more. They put not correct size bulbs (very small ones). Job was eight recessed lights. Bulbs were very bright. I did not make any comments then...Trying to finish with them... Today I got correct size and brightness bulbs and replace them. Four out of eight bulbs end up in an angle...Assembly was done wrong. If you are a female and an advanced age don't go to them. They will take advantage of you.

These guys give you a really low quote before starting the job and when the job is done they'll charge you more than double. At no point did they communicate with me during the job that their original estimate for the job had changed. I told them exactly what the job required and that was exactly what they completed, nothing more. So why charge the customer more than double? And why do you not feel the need to communicate this to the customer? CROOKS, STAY AWAY!!!!

If I could give zero stars I would and also sue this business. They do work like crap. They quote you something else and then charge you something else after job completes. They quoted me $300 and charged me $800 after the job was done. At least tell the customer before hand as to what you're going to charge.

We have an older home in Hillsborough that needed an electrician. The first problem involved tracing a circuit that powered an external outlet. The other issue related to correcting a 3-way switch configuration. I selected Absolute Electrical because Jeff had helped me with wiring a sub-panel several years earlier.

I am somewhat fussy about electrical work because I have an engineering background and I am familiar with the idiosyncrasies of our home where multiple remodeling projects have been completed over the years. The home is now also occupied by a tenant.

Absolute Electrical sent Matt out to our home. Matt completed both projects and did an excellent job.They were not easy projects. Specifically, I liked working with Matt because:

- He was careful and respectful of the tenant
- Matt crawled under the house (unpleasant) and ran a completely new circuit to eliminate the problem
- Took the time to carefully diagnose the 3-way switch problem
- He was experienced with older wiring problems and had intelligent answers to my questions about the best options

I was referred to them by a friend and they came by and gave an in-home consultation, I followed their recommendation and I am delighted by the quality of work. The team arrived on time, executed flawlessly and I am looking forward to hiring them for Phase 2 :)

Scope of work:
1) Added 6 cans of recessed lighting
2) Adjusted existing lighting to brighten room
3) Fixed switch order
4) Added new lighting to the kitchen

Great work - highly recommend.

Reasonable job, somewhat pricey.

On a positive not they were quick.

From our experience, stay far away! We did not hire them. They were hired by another company as a subcontractor to come look at lighting problem that arose from some work the other contractor did in our attic. At the request of the other contractor, they came to our house. Jeff J spent less than 10-minutes at our house. When he was at our house for those few minutes, he never even went into the attic (where original work was done). He did not speak with us other than to introduce himself as the subcontractor, and we were expecting him, so we let him in to do his inspection. He did not fix the problem that we were having, and spent less than 10-minutes in our house doing whatever inspection or work the contractor sent him to do. But then, a few days later, we received an invoice for $250.95 ($200 labor + $11.95 fuel surcharge + $39.00 material) . My wife and I thought this must be a mistake. We emailed Absolute Electrical via their website - no response. We called them, certain they would tell us it was a mistake. They said it's ""no mistake."" They had the audacity to claim that while they were at our house, during those 10-minutes, they asked for our permission to do the work on our dime, and we gave them the permission. Rubbish! They are crooks. We only allowed them into our house as a subcontractor -- doing an inspection at the request of the other company. We had not hired them. They never even remotely indicated they were doing work at our direction or on our dime, they were called-in by the other contractor. When we telephoned them to discuss, thinking it had to be a mistake, they fabricated the story that they had asked and received permission by us to do work for us and invoice us for it -- all in the 10-minutes he was at our house. Of course this never happened. If we needed an electrician, we would hire one. We did not hire these people, but by virtue of letting them into our home for 10-minutes, they fabricated things in order to invoice us for their time. Perhaps some of you out there have had different experiences with these people. But in our experience, they are Absolute crooks.

Update: After calling Absolute Electrical on 12/7/2015 about above - we received from Jeff J, President of Absolute Electrical, on 12/8/2015 a LIEN on our home. A lein on our home for $250, a few weeks after they were at our house for 10-minutes, at the request of the contractor. We only let them in the door per the other contractor. But they fabricated a story so they could invoice us (we never hired him), and then less than a month later we have a lien on our home. This is no way to do business. From our experience, stay away from these people unless you want a huge headache and unwarranted legal problems. (And we still have the same electrical problem, unfixed, that started all this to begin with.)

Update: 12/15/2015 Our contractor told us Absolute Electrical was never supposed to invoice us, much less put a lien on our home. Our contractor took care of their bill. We'll update this when/if Absolute Electrical takes the lien off our house. Perhaps others have had a different experience and if so, that's great. But from our experience, we could never recommend Absolute Electrical. Our electrical problem is not fixed. But most importantly, when you're allowing someone into your home, there needs to be a little trust that they're honest, reasonable people. That was not our experience.

We needed an electrician and were able to hire Absolute Electric and get service the same day. That never happens! They even called to follow up after the project was Finished to make sure we were happy with the work. We will be passing along to our friends and families ABSOLUTE ELECTRIC IS THE BEST IN KC MO

I called Absolute Electrical for an estimate, and Jeff came out and explained to me exactly what he was going to do. It was actually so simple I told him I could do that myself, and he was totally fine with that and didn't charge me a cent. I was shocked that a contractor would be that honest....so the next time I needed some electrical work that I didn't think I could handle, I called Absolute again.

They did tell me about the 2-hour minimum, so i just made sure to have jobs that filled the time, such as installing a new outdoor outlet and fixing a wiring issue with our oven. He did great work in a timely fashion, so he'll still be my go-to electrician.
