While I believe the work that is completed is done well the customer service is dismal. A job that Benoit said would take 5 business days, maximum 7 is now on day 10 and not complete. They have not showed up to work on a Monday yet. I am writing this review on the third Monday they have not showed. The lead electrician gets pulled from my project to do work at other locations. All my other projects for the house are backed up because Benoit cant get it together to complete the necessary work. Its very frustrating. I expected way better from a company that is so highly regarded.

Lee was exceptionally courteous and kind when he came to our home and he sorted out each of the problems we called in about in short time. The only issue I had was the fact that they were about an hour and half over on the timeframe they initially gave us on when they would arrive. A courtesy call would have been appreciated, but I will definitely use Benoit Electric again should my house require more electrical work.

Made an appt over the phone with the secretary. The day of the appt. I wait at home by 1pm no one arrives i call them the secretary says oh he got tired up at his last job so he isn't coming. I said he is tied up for the rest of the day he can't come at 3pm or 4pm. She said I will get a hold of him and see if he can come over when he is done. I never got a phone call not did they ever call me to rebook a time. It was the worst service well non service I have ever had.
