Red Tag Resolution, Chandelier Installation, Electrical Junk
I was issued a red tag by Enbridge for having the gas pipe on the side of the house covered in dirt. I also had a chandelier that needed to be installed, plus a couple of minor jobs (removal of a radiator installed high up in the garage rafters and left by previous homeowner, electrical buzzing from one of my light switches).
Mark and Marius came by last Friday and gave me a quotation, which I thought was very reasonable. When I agreed to the price, they said they'd be back on Monday. So Mark and Marius came back the following Monday before lunch and started working.
Here's a rundown of the jobs that did onsite:
- They dug the gas pipe out of the dirt and installed it higher up on the side of the house so the issue would not happen again.
- They installed the chandelier in our dining room. Apparently, the chandelier I bought wasn't the easiest when it came to installation.
- They checked the light switch that was buzzing. It turned out I needed to change the bulb to one that is compatible with the light switch.
- They brought down a radiator that was installed on the garage rafters by the previous homeowner (for what purpose, I have no idea). The electrical wiring that they cut from the radiator was live so they turn it into an extra electrical socket in the garage. They also helped me take the radiator to the curb infront of the house, which where it was promptly picked up by a lucky passerby early next morning.
By the time they finished, it was almost 10PM. They did not leave until all the jobs they came to do were done. They stuck to our originally agreed-upon price and they never grumbled or complained.
The House Depot is now my go-to place for my electrical and gas-related services and I would not hesitate to recommend them to my friends.
Mark and Marius, thank you again for your help!
