Beware: you’ll get good work — and a huge bill

I hired Whitelock Electrical for some residential electrical work. The job they did was fine — professional, clean, and everything works as expected. No issues with the quality at all. When I asked them to quote for some additional work (bathroom and kitchen reno), they gave me a quote of $6,200 that felt very high considering the amount of work that had to be done, so I got a second quote. Another qualified electrician completed the exact same scope of work — to the same high standard — for $2,900. That’s not just a slight difference it's a difference of $3,300 less than what I was quoted — it’s an excessive overcharge. I accepted the first job's pricing, but after seeing this, I realized I significantly overpaid. It’s frustrating to know I could have received the same results for a fraction of the cost. The pricing I experienced shows they are not concerned with offering a fair, honest service — they are more comfortable taking advantage of people who don’t know any better and have put their trust in their word. If you're thinking of hiring them, get multiple quotes. The work is good, but the pricing was wildly inflated.

Bathroom and kitchen reno

I recently had the pleasure of working with Peter for my kitchen and bathroom renovated, and I couldn’t be happier with the work done. From start to finish, he was professional, friendly, and incredibly efficient. I had a few unexpected plumbing issues pop up during the reno, but everything was handled on the spot with a smile and a calm, can-do attitude.

He clearly knows his craft, and it shows in the quality of his work. On top of that, the price was very fair for the level of service received. It's such a relief to find someone reliable, honest, and skilled these days.

If you need a plumber you can count on, look no further. I’ll definitely be calling him again for any future plumbing needs!
