We just bought an older house that we knew had knob-and-tubes and we decided to have them removed right away.
Upon getting the keys, we had several certified electricians come and take a look as well as give us a quote for a full re-wiring (they all estimated at least 60% knob-and-tube!).
Antonio's quote wasn't the cheapest, but it wasn't the most expensive either. The price (based on several quotes comparison) was fair. He also took the time to explain everything to the inexperienced first-time home buyers that we are!
In the end, we decided to go with Antonio and his crew because we had a gut feeling that the work would be done with the utmost professionalism and we were not disappointed!
The Java team was always courteous, friendly, willing to explain as they went what they were doing. They were also extremely clean, always putting there material away at the end of the day (we were not living in the house, so they didn't have to!).
In the end, the 60% knob-and-tube estimate turned into a 90% the more they dug. They also found some pretty scary connections, so it took them a little longer than expected, but they were very accommodating to our moving schedule and it didn't affect the rest of our planning. The quoted price remained the same, but I know that they went over and beyond to make sure our home would be safe for the years to come!
I will keep them as my go-to electricians whenever I need something done, and I keep raving about them to my colleagues and friends! I usually don't do that, so it speaks volumes about their worth!
Thank you Java team!
