Knob&Tube replacement in the whole house
In August and September 2013 Behrid worked in my newly acquired house to replace Knob&Tube wiring. Replacement needed to happen before October 9th, otherwise I would lose my insurance.
Behrid was very meticulous. He worked on weekdays and weekends. He tried to be as gentle to our walls as possible, taking that he had to make quite a number of holes. He also showed my father, who helped me with the reno, how to fix these holes to make the walls whole again.
It turned out there was much more knob&tube wiring than I initially anticipated. Behrid ended up doing the whole house. He also powered out the vent in the bathroom and made a separate outlets for sump pump and for the dishwasher. He worked with my husband to put in the internet cable. He put on the lights we purchased. He brought in the inspector to get us the certificate of the work done. I got the certificate on Oct 7th, which was just in time to finish all the paperwork and prolong my insurance successfully.
The initial amount for the K&T replacement was about $4500. But because it turned out there was more work then expected, I paid around $8000.
My communication with Behrid was sometimes difficult, as English is not the first language for both of us, but the important thing is, he always did the things the way I wanted. He was very patient and accommodating. I would hire him again.
