Excellent work!

John and Edgar surpassed our expectations. They were punctual, mannerly, and very professional. The job was completed in a timely manner at a very reasonable price. They also inspected all our electrical points without being asked and left our place spotless!

2nd floor renovation with all new electrical and meter

My plan was to renovate just the kitchen. We pulled down the old drywall and found all knob and tube wiring (it is a 140 year old home). I decided to gut the floor and do a full reno, including all new wiring.
John and his team came in and replaced all of the old wiring and fixtures. They did recessed lighting, ceiling fans, multiple new outlets, everything.
That was not for the the full 15k... the other thing they did was install a new, dedicated power meter for that floor and ran a dedicated line up to a new panel. All permitted and inspected.
They did a wonderful job. Their work was clean and professional, their staff were friendly and incredibly knowledgeable.
I would recommend Electric Safe to others and in fact I already have. I will also call them when I need any electrical work done.

Fixture hanging

John hung vintage fixtures in our new place and they looked amazing. These were not easy fixtures and we had a host of issues to consider including old moulding that could not be removed.
This company is extremely personable, efficient and competent. I would recommend them to anyone and will have them back for future jobs.

Car Charger, 200 amp panel upgrade

John was prompt and met his deadlines. His price didnt change. He and his assistant were courteous and knowledgeable. Their expertise was evident when they answered all my questions, even after the job was completed and they had been paid in full. The completed work exceeded my expectations. They made recommendations that improved the efficiency and functionality of my car charger and power supply. Theres no one I would recommend more highly!

kitchen and bathroom renovation

We have just finished our third big project with Renovation Plus – four if you include my in-laws. John Anderson is one in a million. Fantastic guy, quality workmanship, committed – we are fans! John first came to us as an electrician, when he fixed a lighting problem for my wife who needed something particular, as she is partially blind. He had great suggestions, put lights into impossible places (!) and was terrific to work with Then we had a disaster from a previous bathroom reno, from only a year before, and John very kindly came to our aid, with his also terrific plumber Sherwin. John was extremely helpful, smart, his work was excellent and he is a heck of a nice guy. So when we decided to renovate a kitchen and bathroom, we only wanted John. Here are the pictures. Damon the tiler did superb work on the shower and floor, and also in the kitchen. John chose everything, which was a huge bonus because my wife couldn’t see well enough to do it, and I wasn’t sure what to do. John offered us several choices, various price points, we chose what we were comfortable with. We give John 4 thumbs up.

Kitchen and bathroom disaster.

If you are looking for poor quality and half finished work this is the company to hire. If you are looking for someone who is defensive and makes excuses when you tell them that the work is not up to standard or incomplete, then John is your man. When you tell him that his work is no good and that he has to come back and fix it, he calls you rude and abusive. he uses this tactic because he doesn't want to come back and finish the job.
I could only post a few photos ? This is my 2nd time posting this review. John contacted Homestars and told them he didn't do this work. So maybe he should give me my $25000.00 back. I've posted receipts so everyone can see. Just another examp,e of John's none truths. However I will do another review and post the rest of them. The first photo is of my
new drywall. It is concave and needs replacing. Also the plaster has not been sanded but has been sanded over. when I told John about this he stated " we always paint over the plaster before we sand it "
Wow. Unbelievable. Anyway I'm not going into detail about every picture. I can tell you that my contract said that all work was going to be done by the designated trade. this did not happen. I have a
window frame that doesn't join at the corner joints and was filled in
with caulking and not a neat job. It was done by a kid. The paint job in the kitchen is peeling in most spots and the underneath colour is
showing through in the parts where it is not peeling. Very cheap
paint. The contract states that the paint will be Benjamin Moore
Kitchen and bath. He used dulux in the kitchen and bathroom.
My back garden was used as a dumping ground for grout and plaster. This is just one example of john not respecting personal property. I have foot prints in my hallway that will not come off. My floor is ruined. My railings outside on my porch where the tile was
being cut, where black before John got there. Ive tried to clean them with the power washer but the white stain off the tile cutting machine will not come off. Along with my mat that they couldn't be
bothered to pick up . I have to get the railings painted and replace the mat. It seems i'm always cleaning up after these guys.
My grout on the kitchen floor has grout missing in lots of places. 1/4 round is missing and the piece of threshold that was put in has come off. He didn't bother putting anything by the kitchen door. Just left it ugly and bare.
The back splash in the kitchen has tiles protruding and in one spot it has an inch of mud behind it and it looks amateur and ugly. You can see that in pic #4
The tiler took off one my valances from my cupboards and instead of cutting it to size to fit because of the backsplash and putting it
back. he hid it in my spice cupboard. Which was found a couple of weeks later. Fixtures that John took down from my old bathroom that where to be used in my new bathroom went missing. I bought brushed nickel for accessaries for my bathroom, and just like it said in the contract John would supply moen fixture for the shower. He put in an ugly chrome shower handle and plate. he seems he just didn't care. The taps leak and the new ceiling in the bathroom got scraped and damaged when putting the shower glass in. The shower glass didn't come for another 2 weeks. John said he would put something together so we would be able to shower in the meantime. That didn't happen either. In fact the glass came when I was on vacation. I gave john permission to go and let the glass installers in. it seems he took pictures from a distance of my bathroom and posted them on social media. so everyone got to see my bathroom before I did. It's a pity he didn't take close ups. So people could see the truth.
I could go on and on. A word of warning buyer beware. I gave this company Renovate Plus $25,000. I only held back $2,000.
The cost to finish the work and paint job, and the damage that he done is about $5,000. Be cautious of the TOUCH UP word.
This job started on march 8th it was supposed to be done in 10 days tops. it is now June 10th. What a nightmare.
I will post more pics shortly.
