Tleef Electric

Tim did a great job installing an electrical outlet for a sump pump I needed in my basement. He also took time to look at a few miscellaneous issues I had and fixed a loose outlet box and gave me advice re: installing a lighting fixture. He was great to work with! more

Hired Tim, owner of TLEEF, to install chandelier and outdoor lights as well as recessed lights in kitchen after seeing two positive recommendations on a neighborhood list serve. The quality of his work may be good, but I cannot recommend him because of his unprofessional and frankly scary behavior. He installed a chandelier and outside lights on a Friday, which went OK, though I did feel rushed in having to quickly decide the right chandelier length, though I get that his time is money. I expressed my appreciation and paid him for the work done and then we discussed the recessed lights, which he was to install the following Monday. He complained that the bathrooms overhead would make it hard to place the recessed lights in the ideal positions, and the ceiling would probably need a lot of patching; I said I understood this as he had said this repeatedly at the time of the estimate. I asked a couple questions, e.g., what would he suggest if a recessed light wouldn't fit over the sink? Rather than continue the discussion, he became abusive, making insulting comments about my kitchen decor, which I tried to ignore, and eventually said he didn't want to work for a person like me, and stormed out, yelling that he didn't want the job. I was completely shocked. I've hired many contractors for work inside and outside my home over 20 years, and have never experienced anything remotely resembling this. Be forewarned. more

Tim came out to the condo to gave us a free estimate to replace several receptacles including GFCI before we purchase it. Two months later, I called him for the work. He honored the original quote and we scheduled for the date. On the schedule date, he showed up on time, worked fast and kept the work area clean. He even went out of his way to replace another GFCI receptacles that wasn't in the estimate. At the end, he charged me 30 mins less than the quoted price. The final was less than the original quote. This is the first time I have a contractor that is honest and professional. WE will definitely have his name/number in our phone book for all of our electrica work. You will not regret choosing TLEEF Electrical, LLC for any electrical work. Thai more
