Section 2What to compare before you call
Ratings tell you whether past customers were happy. These six details tell you what you're agreeing to. Under each one is how many of the 8 electricians in this report told us.
Total price and what it includes
Ask whether the quote includes permits, materials, cleanup and any equipment. A low number that leaves out part of the job isn't a low number.
Disclosed by 0 of 8 electricians below
Deposit at signing
Know the amount before the first meeting. In many states a large deposit comes with legal deadlines for permits and a start date.
Disclosed by 0 of 8 electricians below
Payment schedule
Payments should follow finished stages of work, never get ahead of it.
Disclosed by 0 of 8 electricians below
Warranty: what kind and how long
