My experience working with Nick (owner) was excellent.
He just completed swapping my panel box, upgrading all the outlets and light switches. He installed all new light fixtures. He installed a few new outlets and also a bathroom fan.
This is my first home and it was built in 1950 and needed an electrical upgrade. Going into the process, I had zero knowledge of what needed done or what I was getting into in terms of cost/work. I had two quotes that were basically telling me I needed a full re-wire. This is a major project- permits need pulled, holes all over the house, and with all the work comes a hefty price tag. While these quotes were likely fair price wise; it was clear, after I spoke to Nick, that I was up-sold a lot of unnecessary work.
Nick came to give me the quote and even crawled into the attic (neither other company did that) and explained why the full re-wire was not necessary. He cited many specific examples, that even I, guy with zero knowledge, could understand why what he was proposing was safe and sufficient for the size of my home. He saved a SUBSTANTIAL amount of work on this house. I cannot overstate how much work he saved.
Once he got going, there are many little things that did not go unnoticed. The house is old, there will certainly be more work to be done. Anytime he saw something to look out for or I could do down the road, he pointed out to me. I had some water damage in some drywall from before a new roof was on. He sunk a bunch of screws in the area to fix the bow and make sure it wouldn't fall apart. I had lazily hung a towel rack into dry wall; it was loose, he sunk some anchors in and fixed it while he was working in the bathroom. There are many other examples in the few times he had to stop by to work. He did not have to do any of these things. He was just going above and beyond.
As far as the electrical work; I live in a block house and there are many limitations to what we can and can't do. He explained everything to me clearly. Why we could do something or why we couldn't. He gave me great information and made many good suggestions about where or why to do something. The project has been completed and it's awesome. Everything looks much sharper. It's just way more efficiently set up all over the house. He did a amazing job.
It's a nerve-wracking thing for a first time home buyer to undertake something like this that is going to cost thousands of dollars. I'm glad I found Apex/Nick. He was professional, honest, fair, and did excellent work. I could go on and on. He is a busy guy and I can see why. I'd recommend Nick/Apex to anyone who needs any electrical work done.
Thanks Nick/Apex!
