remember that you get what you pay for! i hired a friend of a friend who is a licensed electrician to rewire my two-family limestone brick townhouse in bushwick (3 BR over 2 BR, approx 1,100 sq ft each).

he quoted me $3,500 per floor and said it would take about a week and a half. three and a half weeks later (2 weeks of which i was left with a single working outlet) they weren't even halfway done.

they did a shoddy job, avoided cutting into brick and installed too few outlets according to code, while using the less expensive vinyl-coated cable.

being in a time crunch because i had tenants moving into the second floor apartment, i hired the first guys i had called for an estimate to finish the job: Christopher John Electrical. these guys were prompt, offered payment plans, and were a pleasure to deal with. (I dealt with Leon.) they knew their stuff and worked fast: 4 days, start to finish. (they had no problem cutting into brick where warranted and used metal-encased BX cable.)

the trade-off, of course, was that the second floor apartment cost around $10,000 to rewire. but i have no complaints whatsoever, and given the chance to do it all over again, i wouldn't hesitate to call Christopher John.

good luck to you!

David,

I am very interested in seeing the pictures of your radiators. Can you please email them to me? I need a large cast iron radiator, preferably with some decoration, and the one I have now that does not work is 11 coils and quite high.

I look forward to hearing from you ASAP.

Catherine
