DO NOT USE Dion Islas! He is not legit and is a scam artist! He scammed me and my wife out of $19K and still looking for additional 10K to try and steal. He is a thief and can't keep a staff. Had multiple workers quit on him due to non-payment. There was a different worker every time we checked on things but there was never anything completed. This is the biggest rip off and he is desperate for work! If you want a real contractor with real results then I advise to not hire this alcoholic who drinks as early as 7a and doesnt communicate or show up to work when he confirms it.

Please save your money. Do not get scammed like we did

Called this place and told them I was local to them and I got their info off Yelp. Told the man that my Christmas lights went out last night and my husband tried to fix the outlet to no avail. He says they can come take a look tomorrow about 9 am. Great! My husband then asked me to ask him what their service call charge was. I asked him and he proceeded to tell me that it's $270 to come to my home to diagnose and fix a problem, and that was the minimum that it would cost but anywhere up towards $500. I told him absolutely not and hung up before he get another word in. I am all about supporting small business owners I have no issues with paying a service fee to come out to my home, but use charge that kind of money just to come out and take a look at an outlet is exorbitant! Will never use this company ever!

By far, the worst service ever, period. On February 25th, it took two of these guys five hours to hang one ceiling fan on an eight foot high ceiling, however, it still did not work, because the technician did not have any wall-electrical switches with him to complete and test the work, and for some reason, he would not go and purchase one from a local home-improvement store. Vowing they would return to finish up the work the following day...I think you know what's next...right, they made one excuse after another why they couldn't make it back to finish the job. It gets better, the visiting electrician (claimed he was a partner) actually had the guts to ask for advanced payment for the complete scope of work, not just the one celing-fan he installed, but payment, in full, for the complete invoice encompassing another fan and a couple of outdoor light fixtures.

Well, on March 12th, after days of hounding Advanced Electric's owner, two other guys claiming they're Advanced Electric employees and licensed electricians, showed up to finish the total scope of the (prepaid) work started on the 25th of February by the first electrician. These guys did not look like electricians, one of them had paint completely covering his denim pants as well as in his fingernails, they drove up in an unmarked pick up truck and no uniforms , Wow!

After completing the job, the owner actually had the guts to ask for additional money for the two guys he sent over to complete the previously pre-paid work. He now started to ask for an hourly rate for each of the men, yes, that's right, $90.00 times two for each hour. Again, Wow!

I can go on and on and on...in short, I would not use these guys at all, do NOT Get Suckered In!

Needed to install Nema 14-50 receptical for 240v use within 5 feet from electrical panel. Called them with a ValPak coupon for $75 off. I called them and they told me less than $300 for this simple job. Made a 3 o'clock appointment but a guy shows up at 1 o'clock which was fine since we were on the way home. He says he needs to go buy parts at HomeDepot when he should've came prepared. Comes back two hours later! Install takes less than an hour. Makes a mess and doesn't even clean up. He then tells me he needs to come back next day to change out the wire since it wasn't the right one which makes me nervous. He then comes back next day an hour late to switch out the wire. Kicker is the bill is $370 ($270 labor + $80 parts + $20 tax). I ask for $75 off from coupon but he says it's included. What!?!?!?

Don't be tempted to call anyone from ValPak coupons and DO NOT call them as they're not honest not trustworthy.
