The Dodge Brothers do good work. I've had them do several projects for me. While a some mistakes were made, they always did a good job, and are considered about the best concrete contractors in the area. I would use them again.

I hired Chuck Peabody to finish my house construction wiring after firing another electrician. Chuck and his team are all very competent and very professional. He sure isn't cheap, but did good work and did it promptly. Always did what he said he'd do, when he said he'd do it.

I had him do the electrical for my new house construction. He spent way too much time diddling around. I was not there much of the time. My Dad said every time he went to the site, Scott was wandering around thinking. In particular, I was displeased with his habit of choosing the most expensive option for everything. For example, for switched outlets, instead of using a $1 standard switch and a $1 standard outlet, he used these $15 combination switch/outlet devices. Another time, I was there working on something else while he was putting in a 220v outlet in my barn. As I worked, mostly focused on what I was working on, every so often I'd glance over to see that he was STILL working on that outlet. After thinking several times, "how can he possibly be still working on that outlet? I could have done it twice in this amount of time.", I finally went over (after maybe a couple hours of this) to see what he was doing. He said he was "just finishing it up". I also thought he was rather sloppy and careless in his work. Eventually, after many weeks, I got rid of him and hired an electrician that worked out much better and did not waste so much time and money. I definitely would not recommend Scott Frizzelle.

There had been some confusion over if/when he'd come, so I'd already arranged for another locksmith by the time he came. I told him I'd pay his fee for coming and use the other, less expensive locksmith to open the lock. He and other locksmith jabbered at each other in Arabic, probably discussing how to best rip me off. He said I had to use his services, as he'd arrived minutes before the one I knew was coming. That's when I should have told him to hit the road, but he had me over a barrel and knew it. I didn't have time to fool around getting yet another locksmith out there. He was unable to pick the lock, so he drilled it out, which I could have done. So, he charged $40 just for showing up, then another $80 for drilling out the lock. Then he claimed he couldn't sell me just a new cylinder and I had to buy a whole new lock for $125. That's when I told him he'd done enough, and I paid him off & told him to leave. I went to Lowes and got a new cylinder for $4. A whole new lock like the one he'd drilled out (and wanted to charge me $125 for) was $9 at Lowes.
