Charles Defraia Electrician

I always try to hire local professionals for any home improvements, plumbing, electric, new construction etc. So I hired Charles Defraia, who, although socially, a lovely person, is professionally– a disaster! Charges by the hour, so estimates mean absolutely nothing because he’ll drag out what would normally be a 2 week job, for up to 6 months. Uses any tools/​equipment/​you may have, often without asking, and NEVER puts them back, no matter what out-​building they came from or how heavy they are. whines if not paid weekly. Uses your floor as a work bench because he can’t be bothered to use a drop cloth. His feet rarely touch a door mat, evident by the boot tracks everywhere, and by everywhere I mean places he has no reason to be. And last but certainly not least, he will leave a huge refuse pile of un-​recycleable garbage stuffed into recyclables. His waste pile, from doing one room, was considerably larger than that left by the contractor who built my house. It took 4 hours of sorting out the recyclables and $ 380.00 to have it taken to a refuse/​recycling station. Do yourself a favor. Avoid.
