Smalley Electrical Services

When we had our deck built a few years ago, this is the electrician that my contractor brought in. He came by every day for an hour to drink his coffee and chat on his phone… and billed us for it. Nice! Even better was that we bought the lights for our deck steps ourselves and provided them to be installed. They were very high end and expensive. He took them away, claiming that he needed to ‘adjust’ them to fit. By the end of the week, I was complaining loudly to the contractor that if he (John) didn’t show up that day with our lights, I may have to consider having him charged with theft. His son heard this. An hour later his dad (John) showed up with nothing but a coffee in one hand and his phone in the other. His son went out and talked to him in the driveway. John left and came back an hour later with my lights. Did he keep them for a week so he had an excuse to come by every day and do nothing for an hour but be paid for it? Maybe. Did he keep them for a week and swap them out for a lesser product? I really don’t know for sure. He told me the gfci breaker for the hot tub would cost $ 250, when we got the invoice, he charged us double that. He is a crook.
