James Frost Better Wired Electric Review

Was about to pay for Angie's List and remembered to check out Yelp first. Glad I did. Found Jim & Josh Frost (son's a 4 year apprentice to Dad) wonderful. They get a 5 star for integrity, 5 for stick-to-it-ness in problem solving, and 5 for professionalism. We have a 100 year old flat in the Mission that after 6 years the electric circuits decided to turn each other on and off when turning a light on or off in half the unit and then went out altogether. Had one electrician who earlier left after 2 hours muttering to himself on what the heck was going on.

Josh and Jim spent over 5 hours the 1st day and were no closer to the problem. Jim said in 40 years of doing this, this was the 1st time he was this stumped. Charged me only half rate for the effort. They wanted a day to think about it, but suggested that I might need to consider rewiring. Cost? About $5K. Gulp. Am I being setup, me thinks.

They cam back after a day to try again, and lo and behold, found a light fixture in the ceiling of a closet that looked suspicious. Not to make this story any longer, problem solved. Everything is back to normal. Hence the 5 stars for integrity. They could have hit me with rewiring for $5K but this cost about a 1/10th of that in less then 1/10th the time. Bravo Josh & Jim! You got a fan-customer for life.

Those of you who might view this story pessimistically, I've been buying and selling homes and apartment buildings for maybe about 40 years. I'm not easily taken advantage of.
