  Norb did some minor electric work repairing incoming power to our shed and replacing a well cap with conduit to protect the wire. The work was done satisfactorily as far as I can see. He was prompt on arrival and the total work took less than 1.5hrs. We were quoted for the job ($440) and ended up paying what we were originally quoted. I asked how much he charges per hour and he said $100/hr. Doing the math we paid considerably more than $100/hr on today's small project. My question is, if this job took considerably longer than he forecasted would he try and charge more because he ran into a problem? This is what isn't clear to me. I should've asked. He did offer the choice per hour before quoting us, I should have said whichever is less. Did I end up paying too much for a job taking only 1.5 hrs and with less than $100. in materials? It seems kinda pricey but I'm a person of my word so I paid it. But, I've had similar situation's where the contractor gave me a break in the original quote and this helped earn my trust with them. I would like to get a lot more work done with more expensive projects in mind and want to find someone who is a good value for the money as we go along, someone we trust which is hard to find these days, making us reluctant. I would have given 5 stars if I felt this was the case. We have a lot bigger projects than this needing to be completed and I'll continue my search to find a contractor who I feel is the best value for my hard earned money. UPDATE following Norb's reply: After reading both sides you decide who is fair and honest and who is more professional. I did not call any names or make derogatory statements, I asked a question and did not get an answer. Instead I was called a name, he should know better than this after being in business. Btw, I did mention a different contractor ( who I praised) and Norb left that part out I see. This other contractor I've used now has health issues, otherwise we'd be moving right along smoothly as we have for the past 30 years. I was testing the waters with Norb Miller Contracting on a small project before giving them a chance on a much more costlier project. I initially gave him a 3 star response, but now it's a (1) because of his poor response to my concern. Disappointed!!

  Response from the owner

  Some people you just can not please, he told me stories about the contractors he has had in the past. No one wants to work for him, I can see that now. If I would have charged him by the hour it would have been about the same, initial visit one hour, materials run to two different outlets two more hours, two hours to do the work and 125.00 for materials.That comes to 625.00. I don't know why I loose sleep over people like this, obviously he is twisted and CHEAP.
