Hi all, I would recommend Sebastian from JAE electrical & renovation. He's is one of the recommended electrician here i guess.

Got my 4 room flat re-wired by him. At first, i have been sourcing for Mr Ong, Ah Keong or Mr Quek's to do my house but cant get them, guess they r busy. Then happen to see Sebastian's number here so give it a try. Well, all i can say is he is really very responsive and nice young guy. i called him to ask for his unit price, he just says he would come over to my unit to take a look and give me a rough quote for free. Of course i accepted. Guess he's the few contractors i've seen to be always be on time for meeting. when i reach my unit from work, he's already standing outside. Although he is young (27 yr old) but he is quite experience. he would come into my unit asking what i need and my requirements and then he will start to give me advise on what to do and what not. Well, before Sebastian, i've called up an electrican also from here to come to quote but he only ask me what i want, and thats all. ok. After seeing my unit, he quickly give me a price range and say he'll go back and sent me a quote by that night (he left my unit at around 9.30pm). So i waited, and he really did sent me the quote, at 10.30 plus. well he is responsive. He have been very patiant with me and my wife as we went around checking the price. after 2 meeting at site to confirm everything, we signed the agreement with him.

They started work soon after my id gives the go. Well at the start i am afraid that my id might not get along with him as he is my external contactor. but guess Sebastian blends in well. what i cannot imagine is, he (The boss of the company) leading his team of 3, do up my electrical wiring 3 days. i even ask him why he have to do the job himself. he says he always likes to work together with his worker and he will do whatever his worker is doing. (Bonding)... Hard working guy, can even skips his lunch just to complete the jobs he's on. Seriously, UPS for him !

Once the renovation is about to complete, my id called him to come to do all the lighting installation, guess what? he came with just one worker and completed the job in one day! Ok my renovation ended about 2 weeks already, so far, i'm really satisfy with everything and also no to mention, the good workmanship, service and attitude from Sebastian.

Hope that my testimonal helps to all. Cheers!

I think, I'm the one who recommended him here . Ya u right, he a hardworking fellow. Good that u satisfied by his attitude and workmanship.

Hello everyone, first i wants to thanks the fellow forumers to recommend Sebastian from JAE electrical & renovation.

I've got my 5 room flat rewired by them. i must really comment on his works. they are right. Sebastian service and attitude is really very good. They are really fast and experience. As mention earlier by forumer, Sebastian is really responsive and always on time for meetings. He really will be at site to works together with his workers. Really hardworking guy. Workmanship is good, light fitting with lasers.

Really thankful to Sebastian, to get my house done up beautifully.

Hi. Will appreciate greatly if anyone can help me see if the quotation my electrician quoted me is reasonable.

I felt his quote to be slightly expensive as compared to the quotes i see posted here. This is my first time dealing with electrician & reno at the same time.

I'm pretty clueless... so if anyone can advice me, I will appreciate it greatly.

Thanks.

That seems pretty expensive. For e.g. simple installation of point should be no more than $10 max (some electricians charge only $7-8) whereas yours is $12 per point. Suggest you get a few more quotes from other electricians.

Edit: BTW, the electrician that installed my lights last month charged me $7 per simple installation and $35 for fan installation. Not sure about if they do the rest of your items (mine was just lights/fans) but I'm thinking can't be more than your quote. You can try asking for quote if you like, can call Chong at 94237985.
