10/10

We needed to completely rewire our new house right after purchase and were referred to Langstaff & Sloan through a friend. I was able to e-mail with Rob Lembryk and get some great information and a rough estimate sight unseen weeks beforehand. He then came by the day after we took possession, took the time to answer all of our questions, and calculated a formal quote right in front of us which was great. They were able to start right away and finished within a week, meeting our tight move-in deadline. Vic kept me in the loop while on-sight, asked any questions where he wasn't sure, and made the correct decisions where there was any ambiguity in the instructions. We asked them to prep some wires for future renovations and they were all put in place and carefully labelled to avoid any confusion down the road. When the job was complete Vic was patient during the final walkthough and took the time to answer any questions I had regarding surge protectors, light fixtures, electrical safety, using the outdoor outlets, etc and left me feeling very confident in the job that had been done and that everything was in order. We bought our own fixtures and dimmers, and Vic alerted us that we had bought the wrong combination and was patient with us exchanging them for the correct ones instead of just installing what we had bought, only to have a dimmer burn out within in year. The patchwork that was done was also top notch, and we have been able to paint right over top of it without any sanding required. This was big for us because we had to move in right after they were done and didn't want dust on all of our stuff. They left the place just as they found it, clean. Out of the five quotes we received Langstaff was right around the middle in terms of price but made us feel the most comfortable in what we had to do and the best way to go about it. The job could honestly not have gone any smoother for us and we will happily recommend them to anyone.

Approximate cost of services:
$13,000.00
What could this company do to improve their services?
Nothing, everything was perfect
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Take the time to lay out exactly where outlets/fixtures/3-way switches/dimmers should go and label things before they start getting quotes. Easier for both sides to understand the job that needs to be done and makes sure that all companies providing quotes are on the same page in terms of what you are looking for. Plan for future development as well and have them run extra cable if needed for renovations down the road.

Company Response

Hi Geoff,
We haven't met but I am the owner of Langstaff & Sloan Inc. I was on holiday when my staff quoted and completed your home.Thank you so much for your very kind words. I do find that many clients are doing more "Homework" than ever, and Homestars seems to be an important resource. Have a great Easter long weekend!
