Flying Dutchman Electric

I wanted to wire a floodlight cam to watch over my driveway. I gave a call to John and he gave me an estimate. He came out later to my house, looked over my setup, and gave me options. John completed the job promptly and I am very happy with the result.

Looked for an electrician to do a complete wire job for a hot tub being delivered in 48 hours. Called a few here on Yelp. Got several quotes and John had everyone's price beat when he returned my call within a few hours. I mentioned that I am a handyman myself but wont touch the circruit breaker and asked if I can buy parts and do as much install that I could. He was very thorough over the phone on what I would need to purchase which would help with cost. He even came by my house on his way home just to check the job out as I had concerns about my main breaker not having room. While shopping I even text him photos of parts to make sure I had the correct ones and he was quick to respond as I was at the store. I started working on the wire/conduit install and he drove by again on his way to another job just to check on me if I had any problems or concerns. I called him when I completed my part and he came right over. Did his magic with the breakers and said he was concerned about the guys delivering my hot tub. He basically didn't trust them and John said to call him back once tub was delivered and he would come out immediately for free to do the job right! Wow that's great service AND in the end gave me a better price then initial quote. Very Honest and friendly and would recommend him to all!

I had John put in a new outlet in a closet today. I was very pleased with the job and his service. He was very timely, no waiting around for him to show up. He communicated with me and arrived when he said he would. I will call John first the next time I need a electrician.

So glad to say there are businesses out there who provide 5 star service at reasonable prices.

I had an electrical outlet issue in my kitchen and none of the outlets were working for two days. Needless to say, it was rather annoying to not be able to use any of the kitchen gadgets. I tried to fix it myself but considering my electrical expertise from zero to none, I wasn't able to rectify the problem.

I called Flying Dutchman this morning and left a voicemail. Within half an hour I got a call back from John and he said he could come over later in the day. He gave me a time of 4:30 and sure enough at 4:30 he was here. Basically the issue was with the wiring and within half an hour John had everything working. He just charged me the basic service fees, nothing more.

John seems to know his trade well and is an expert in locating the issues. He has a friendly personality and great to talk with. I'm really impressed with this company and would like to recommend them to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and an honest electrician.

We had a probably with one outlet that was tripping a bunch off. I was in a rush since we use that outlet for our baby needs. John came out on a Saturday when no one else would. After an hour of troubleshooting John remedied the problem and I was so relieved. But around twenty minutes after he had left everything shut off again, I called John again and he immediately returned and replaced the circuit breaker and everything was resolved again. This just shows how dedicated John is to his customers. He has definitely become my electrician from now on.

John gave me a quote last July to change out all of the can lights in our house to LEDs and install 2 new lights that came in well under any other quotes we had.

On installation day, he said that he got the wrong LEDs and needed to switch them out. 3-4 hours later, he returns with lights that are much more expensive than the agreed upon price. But they look nice and they're about the same price as one of the other contractors, so fine, we let him install them. He does all but the one in the stairwell because he says that he needs to think of a way to get to it, but more on that in a second.

Once he went in to install the 2 new lights, he drilled a hole in the ceiling and then promptly said that it wouldn't be possible to install them because there were too many ducts in the way. Ok, fine, then how do we fix the ceiling? Well, the finish on the ceiling is strange, so he can't do it, but he's got a cement guy, and he'll contact him for us.

Flash forward a few weeks and we are getting the run around about the cement guy to fix the hole in the ceiling and he's still working on how to get to the light in the stairwell. Wait, aren't you a professional electrician? Certainly this isn't the first time you've had to deal with a light in a stairwell? Anyway, I get busy and can't find a time to get him back out to the house.

Flash forward a few months later and the husband can finally be around so we call John back. Still no news about the cement guy and all we can do is insist that he replace the light in the stairwell. He looks up, and goes, ""Well, I hope that your homeowners insurance is paid up."" WAIT, WHAT?! Did he just threaten us with a lawsuit? Yeah, you're not getting up on any ladder in our house again.

John is totally unprofessional. He claims that he is an experienced electrician, but the truth is that this is his side job. Have a small job? Go ahead and hire him, he'll probably bid it cheaper, but buyer beware, you get what you pay for.

tl;dr:
-Promised one price in July, pulled a bait and switch on product.
-Said he could install two new lights, couldn't, got the run around on the cement guy, STILL have a hole in the ceiling nearly a year later.
-Said he could replace all can lights, THREATENS US WITH A LAWSUIT over possibly falling while replacing a light in the stairwell because he doesn't have the equipment to get up there. STILL haven't got light replaced.

John responded to my inquiry over the Yelp messenger. He replaced my mother's walk-in closet lights quickly and at a good price (on the day after New Year, mind you, when it should be a day off!). He's also pleasant to talk to.

John was great! We had an entire area of our house that was not working. The breaker and the fuse were working fine. We couldn't figure out the issue. I contacted John via yelp. He came by the day we called him and was able to problem solve our electricity issue quickly. He will now be our go to electrician! Thank you John. Additionally John was affordable, knowledgeable and friendly!

John The Flying Dutchman came to my house and installed an outlet box in my garage to accommodate a new garage door opener. He gave me a rough estimate over the phone and showed up promptly as agreed. He used a metal box and his work was clean and neat. I felt he was honest and trustworthy. A big plus for me when I hire for services. I'll be calling him for any future electric work I may need. I also like spending $ locally if I can - keep the revenue in CH! Go Netherlands.

Made a last minute call to the Flying Dutchman. Was having trouble trying to install these two recessed conversion kits from Lowes. He was able to come help me out and what took him a few hours would have no doubt taken me half the day. Money well spent!
