Service: Electrical

DO NOT HIRE! Works under the name of AllPro Electric in the Oklahoma City area. Some of my real estate clients had used him as an electrician for small repairs, & one client used him as a handyman. He proclaims that he knows how to lay tile, including building a tile shower. $2200 & 4 weeks later, we have a demo'd master shower, with 4 1/2 sheets of Durorock installed (with nothing between it & the studs), & about $1000 in materials to show for our money....( The only reason I gave him any stars at all is because this website will not let you complete your review without doing at least one.)

I would never trust an electrician with my tile. Tile laying is art and every inch matter when you lay the tile so it is perfect when looked at as a whole. I am so sorry that you had this experience with All Pro. I hope he at least did the electrical work properly!!!

Some people are diversified enough to be able to do many things equally well, some people are not that talented. Apparently this guy was one of the less talented individuals who should know when to say he doesn't know about something that he clearly doesn't know about.

I once knew a guy who claimed to potential clients that he could "do it all." He would take pretty much any job no matter his skill level in it (or lack there of). Then he'd go home and spend the evening reading about what to do on the internet. Needless to say, he wasn't in business for very long...

Thank you everyone, for your support, it really does lessen the sting... Yamini, no electrical work had been done, yet.
This guy had contacted me several times over the years about buying the house that he leased, but as a self-employed person, he expensed off just about everything, which left him with little or no income, on paper, therefore, he never was able to qualify. He wanted the house he was leasing ...»
because of all the upgrades he had done to it, tiling being the biggest job of all. He claimed that there was no carpet left in the house, that it was 100% tile, that's what made us believe he knew what he was doing. By the way, we asked all the right questions, we asked for pictures of previous work he had done, we asked for an itemized bid, & we asked repeatedly, for receipts....Lesson learned!

I had electric work done and he did partial work and quit with my money... Also kept the a/c unit and all the wiring I bought. Scam Artist. I am trying to find him to take him to court
He moved from his previous address that he was renting
