I used to just call the first number I found on a Google search for any electrical job around the house. Last summer I needed a new panel install and got a quote for $3200 from one guy. My neighbor suggested I get three quotes and the final one was only $1800 from a smaller outfit on the south side. Same work, same materials, just a difference in overhead I guess. Now I always ask around on this forum first before booking anyone. Has anyone else noticed big price gaps between the big name companies and the solo guys?
Had a guy out last month from a company on Whyte Ave to check the grading around my foundation. Told me the previous owners had flower beds built right up against the house with the soil sloping toward the foundation. He ripped out the beds and regraded the whole thing with a 6 inch drop over 10 feet. Two weeks later we got that big storm and the basement stayed bone dry. Has anyone else had to fix bad grading from previous owners?
Hey everyone, I'm doing a bit of a basement remodel and I absolutely hate painting. Does anyone have a recommendation for a solid painting company in the Edmonton area? Looking for someone who won't leave roller marks everywhere and actually preps the drywall properly.
