Jon chose to fight me just because I questioned his costing which continued to increase as the job progressed. He uninstalled them and created chaos for my tenants. I will never use his services ever again. There are many other Electricians in Calgary.
John the owner off sentinel electric company is an Excellent guy for sure he knows his job very well I have no doubt in that I Newton do some electrical work in my house the ideas that he had was very good, we gave him the job to do and in a very timely manner he finished his job and I was very happy with his work men ship. I advise any one could use him.
We have recently use John on three different projects. The first project started off really good. Everything was done in a timely manner, we agreed on a flat rate price for the job and we would purchase the materials. The only complaints I had on the first job was that the plug for exterior Christmas lights did not get done, they could not find where they had run the wire to. Also the new jacuzzi tub did not work and it took John 3 months to come back and fix. We had moved on to the second & third properties where John advised he would like to quote as an hourly rate for labor as it would work out better for us. On this second job he had an apprentice join him. This did not end up benefitting us, much the opposite actually. On the second job there were issues at completion with the Air Conditioner (would not work and we know that prior to the reno it was working fine as we had occupied the property and had been using it). John returned to the property numerous times and could not find the issue. John referred us to a heat and air technician by the name of Dean. Dean came out to the property and advised the unit worked fine but there was an issue with the wiring which was causing the unit to not work. John states in his rebuttal that the air conditioner had not been running in years, this is absolutely incorrect! Further to the air conditioner not working there were problems with broken lights, damage to kitchen walnut panel (See picture attached). These were all costs that we incurred due to poor workmanship. They are also one of the only trades that leave a disaster and don't clean up after themselves. John is correct that we have withheld a small portion of funds due to the fact that he has not resolved the issue with the air conditioning unit. But the fact that he states he has never been paid is another untruth. He was paid for all work other than the small hold back. The third and last property had the following issues; Nailed a 2x4 to brand new siding on garage to mount electrical services. This could have been done in a much more esthetically pleasing manner. There were also more broken lights on the exterior, we had to either replace with new fixtures or repair if able. Shaw cable was not run to a point where they could come out and complete the connection, this was also at a cost to us.
Thank you for posting the beautiful pictures of our property, these were taken by our agent after all of the interior deficiencies had been taken care of. At this time I would agree with John's statement - I do not have many good things to say about Sentineal Electric, but I'm definitely not a grumpy customer after all, I did bring them coffee twice a day! Also take note in the pictures of the wood walnut style those holes and broken pieces are proof of the hack job they did when installing lights in kitchen I had to bring my Carpenter back in and pay for all the damages that John did
To all my future customers, sometimes you just run into someone that has nothing but bad things to say. This matter is now headed to court as this client failed to pay for any services on his last two houses. The small holdback he talks about was over $5000. He blames us for not connecting Shaw Cable services (which is a utility and is only connected by Shaw). He has also blamed us for not getting his A/C working, when in reality we showed him that the correct voltages were at the unit (The AC hadn t been running in years prior to this Reno Larry has stated otherwise, but this has been confirmed). My favourite part was that he had blamed us for not getting his Jacuzzi tub working for 3 months, but in reality the problem was that a plumbing pipe had not been connected (nothing to do with the electrical). This client has decided to try to post bad reviews against Sentineal Electric LTD in retaliation to a lien that was filed against his property due to non payment. I have attached some of the photos of this property in which you can decide for yourself on the quality of workmanship provided.
He really follows through with his workmanship. I am totally confident of his knowledge and start and end time is spot on. Pricing is really, really fair. I won't hesitate asking him back again for future electrical work.
I used Sentineal Electric for my basement development. Jon and his team were very professional, always on time and worked with me to complete my development on time.
If you are looking for an honest hard working company I would recommend you call Jon.
