Accurate Electric Technologies LLC

WARNING! This company charges for services and materials not provided, and uses unnecessary harassment and intimidation. The primary contact person, «Matt,» was exceptionally gruff, rude, and threatening.
They charged us for a new (expensive) fixture, when they actually reused our old one. They charged us for an hour and 45 minutes’ travel time from their office to our home (at $ 85/​hr per technician for two technicians), when the actual driving time is under 30 minutes. They also charged 30 minutes return travel time, when they actually went to another job. They charged us $ 50 more for our building permit, than the permit cost.
At 11am, both technicians left our property and returned after noon. This hour was included in the billed hours. That’s over $ 170. They had two equipped vans. If they needed more materials, the store was 12 minutes away. It appeared they went to lunch, which should not have been on our bill.
When we politely questioned the above on the invoice, we were met with threats to pay the amount on the invoice immediately, or they’d put a lien on our property for several hundred more than the billed amount. They sent threatening texts to the owner’s young relative. We had told them, up front, that our insurance would be paying, and emailed the letter from our insurance that both guaranteed payment and verified the time frame. Yet they refused to wait one week for our insurance company to reimburse us, and instead sent letters and texts promising a lien.
The actual work done appears to have been adequate. But it was far from worth the grief or the money.
