    Minnesota Dept. of Labor & Industry Consent Order

    On October 13, 2021, the business entered into a Consent Order with the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI). The Consent Order settles allegations that the business violated Minn. Stat. 326B.082, subd. 11(b)(8)(9); 326B.33, subd. 12 and 326B.36 (2020). Under terms of the Consent Order, the business agreed to ensure that each individual who performs electrical work for the business holds a valid master or journeyworker license or is a registered unlicensed electrician and provide direct supervision of unlicensed employees as required by Minn. Stat. 326B.33, subp. 12(a) and ensure that all required electrical permits are filed and all requests for inspections are completed when the work is performed. The business shall pay $4,000.00 of a $10,000.00 civil penalty, with the balance stayed on the condition that the business complies with the terms of the Consent Order and has no future violations of any law, rules or orders under DLI's responsibility.  The Consent Order was for settlement purposes only and should not be considered as an admission of guilt or finding of violation of the law.

      Deceptive practices indeed! Do NOT engage with this company whatsoever! Called them to fix a shower flow issues on a little used bathroom. Scott F gave me four options from $195 service call to a $2000 package. I told him that bathroom is used very little so I wouldn’t be paying anywhere near $2k to fix it. He quoted me $75 for parts and needed to return the next week. I paid $195 for the service call. He returned the next week and installed the two parts in less than 30 minutes. Charged me $1800, in addition to the $195 I paid. No authorizations, no receipts. When confronted he said the office would send the receipts and ran out the door. So when I said there is no way I am paying 2K to fix a little used bathroom, that is exactly what he did. Called the office to complain and get any authorization or receipts. The needed my email address since they didn't have it (yet Scott F said they would send the authorization and receipts!) liars and cheats - still no pre-authorization on costs and the signature on the receipt is just a squiggle. While the 'receipt' didn't have much detail I did google the cost of the parts and they were about $75, so this company charged $1725 to my card for 30 minutes of work. Office said they would file an internal complaint and call me back. I have made 5 attempts to talk to 'Amber' - she never calls me back, the office refuses to schedule a time for us to talk, that I just need to keep calling and hope that she isn't on the phone. I am trying a number of avenue to get my money back and I'll post any positive results so that others can follow.
