Having new cabinets installed and need to move an existing plug. The bid to move a single plug 6 inches up a wall... over $660. Needed a permit... Wall damage... needed to cut a hole in my new cabinets for access...
Unfortunately, I have access to the power wire from the basement and the electrician could have gotten some of my money by splicing into the wire (create the "Access" box) and run new wire through the existing hole and to the new plug box located 6" above the old one.
The guy seemed to be on something (maybe too much nicotine). He put on coverings for his shoes, looked at what I needed to have done and then asked if I could have it done on a Sunday as they have an emergency call.
Asked for a bid to install a pendant light over the sink. $199.12 said he without hesitation. Home Depot $75 for the same two wire nut connection and nut tighten down.
Needed some additional work done after the cabinets arrived, but will locate a better company who understands the word service.
Have used these folks in the past... will not again.
