Chris Neil Electric / JL Chambers Construction

Do not hire Chris Chambers or James Hall for any work. I give them 0 stars. After the death of Mr. J.L. Chambers, this company cannot be trusted. They stole money and equipment from me, and I had to hire a true professional to tear out the work the crew did and start over.

On May 3rd we gave Chris a $3,500 deposit toward a $9,500 job. He didn’t show up our agreed start date, but finally did a few days later where they ripped up our bathroom floor, and left it unfinished with only plywood & no new tile. The sink has also leaked since being put back in and is now growing mold from a month of dripping.

A week later, May 15th, after several phone calls he came to upgrade the electrical system, which was completed, but with deep cuts in the wall from the new breakerbox. Bathroom floor still unfinished. He asked for a draw of an additional $1200 for materials for the rest of the job promising to show up Monday to finish the floor and the outside screened in porch.

No call, no show Monday. Called several times and finally got an answer when calling from a different number, where he again promised to show up the following Monday. He hasn’t answered calls or texts since. His wife can’t get up with him, his mother has stopped responding to me. We’re now stuck with a kitchen wall that needs to be fixed, an unfinished bathroom floor and a leaking sink. On top of it all, this was the small part of the job, the main was the screened in porch which was what all the material cost went to. After a little research it appears he is also not licensed and insured like he claims. We will be pursuing legal action both civilly and criminally.

Contracted them on January 23rd to fix damage from a tree falling on house, gave them a $2,500 deposit a few days later when asked for one. They scheduled the work for two weeks but never showed, contacted them many times with no response, went to their house and got excuses and promises to get it done. Another month goes by and nothing. I terminated the contract at the beginning of April and asked for my deposit back, they asked for time to come up with the money and I agreed to a few days. It has now been 6 weeks and they haven't been responding any more and they still have my money. Thieves.
