Provided by YP.comBOTTOM LINE: He dragged out a fairly simple fan installation over a month. We agreed on a price, then the day before he was to do the work he emailed to renege on the agreement. DON'T DO BUSINESS HERE.
DETAILS: I had read online that he had flaked on others, but I wanted to give him a chance. My bad. I bought a deal for two hours work on LivingSocial ($250) from Shea Electric on Nov/12. Called the same day. Owner Kevin Shea asked me to call back. I did. He said he'd call me back. He didn't. Called again, told him what I needed done (each time I told him about the deal I bought). He said to email him the details of what I wanted done. I did. He emailed a time for an estimate. That was fine but I wanted him to call me first. He said to call him in the morning which I couldn't do. Finally got hold of him days later. Employee Erich came for the estimate Nov/18. He was great but had never installed a fan on a patio like mine. I listened while Erich called the owner to get a quote and explained precisely what it was I wanted. The quote seemed too high. I told him I would install the fans myself. Erich said if I did that it would be considerably less. I was happy. I talked to Kevin and he told me someone would come out to do it next week. Never heard back from him. Called him two weeks later (Dec 4). Phone tag. Once he remembered who I was, he apologized about not getting back to me. Still needed to write up an estimate. I told him he already gave me a verbal estimate but I couldn't find the exact amount. Said he'd send the estimate within the hour. Two days later I got it. It was the expensive price with all the work. I let him know that I had spoken with Erich and he said it would be quite a bit less if I put the fans in. Kevin said the estimate he gave didn't include the fans (even though the estimate explicitly says it does). He was emphatic that I would never have been told that. I told him that I felt like he was saying I was lying. Kevin said he was willing to knock it down $100. I was agreeable. He resent the estimate with $110 knocked off. I was happy. It was to be done on Dec 10. On Dec 9 I received an email saying he was not going to do business with me. I was completely baffled. I now think he realized he wasn't going to make as much money as he wanted because I was using a living social coupon. Whatever... DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THIS MAN.
