| - Sorry to say our experience with Josh Males's services was far, far below what we expected. We had his company rewire our home. It was almost a complete rewire. The team he sent out here were new to his company and did not have any written information as to what we had agreed upon for the job, nor did they as yet have the tablets that were intended for use by his people. The job they did do was a sorry excuse for the job. First, one goal of the job was to properly encase junction boxes in the attic. They did not do this and had to correct it, which they did on New Year's Eve. Secondly, all of the circuit breakers in the box were to be replaced. When we attempted to use an outlet in the master bedroom it did not work. My husband removed the circuit breaker attached to that outlet only to find it cracked. They came back and fixed it. Each bathroom was supposed to have its own circuit, but they were on the same one. Josh himself came back and fixed it. When my husband opened the GFI to install another outlet in the bathroom, he found that it was not correctly grounded. My husband fixed it. They were supposed to supply wiring for a new electric water heater. They supplied a wire, but it didn't even have a box. I believe we had a handyman come and install a box. We found multiple wire nuts that were loose. We found one kitchen outlet not connected to a GFI as per code, they came out and fixed it. Josh told me he would cover a permit up to $300. He got a permit, but not for a rewire. I was forced to go to the city myself and get (and pay for) the proper permit.
I did not specify which type of switches to use in the rewire, thinking that they would automatically choose the newer style larger rocker switches seeing we were attempting to modernize our wiring. Josh did not ask what we wanted and installed the old style switches. We agreed later that Josh would replace the outlets with the newer style and that I would pay for the hardware and Josh would cover the installation. He charged me $300, which is far more than the cost of the outlets.
When we agreed upon the job, I requested that they run the existing coax in the cable in the wall, which they did. When we had problems with the internet, I paid for Josh to come and install a new setup in all places except the wall, which had been repaired after the rewire. We still had problems with the internet. I called and they didn't even answer my call. We did not get it fixed until this fall when we had Cox come and install. The installer told us that he found that we were using an old Direct TV outlet in the attic and he fixed it. Since then we have had no problem with the internet.
In conclusion, they did a very poor job originally, got tired of fixing their own work, and did not act in good faith. I am not in the habit of writing bad reviews, but this one is well deserved.
