Business ProfileforThobae Electric

Be Aware and stay away from this contractor!!!! I initially hired bill, the owner or thobae electric, for a pool job. he came out in April looked at the job and gave me an estimate for 3,000. when the pool was installed in July I changed my mind about the pool equipment location and bill said to me that It will be a "little extra" because its further away from the house. he worked for approximately 30 hrs according to him and by the time he was done he said my estimate is now 6,000. yea exactly double the original estimate. he was not transparent and he said he wishes I got tother estimates to see how much it usually costs. so I did get other estimates and showed 3 different electricians what bill as done and they all told me its 3-4k in total material and labor. when I confronted bill about this and asked for a partial refund he said "so I made money on one job" he also proceeded to say that electricians get paid $85-125 dollars an hr and every time he came out to my house it was a $250 call which he also did not tell me about. I will be taking this matter to court but I wanted to make other customers aware of this guy. I actually hired him for a hot tub install and he was reasonable but I think he got greedy and took advantage of his clients.
