SG! TOTAL SG! Along with other past customers of his, I am suing this sly [redacted]. He MUST be stripped of his license. He is THE reason it is so difficult to trust contractors. He endangered my wife and son’s lives with his illegal, shoddy, careless, out-of-code, irresponsible, dangerous work. He promised to do a number of jobs for us - wrote up, detailed, and signed a contract. Brought in other licensed friends to give quotes and lie about prices and what is needed (whom I am also writing about on [redacted]). Ultimately, he is a conniving [redacted]. He did a terrible job, got his pay, and disappeared. He did not respond to one text, wa, or email after I kept sending him so many for two weeks after he disappeared. Of course, he keeps his voicemail box full so we can't leave a message; twice we caught him on the phone. His curt words before quickly hanging up: “I’m talking to my account, call you right back.” Liar: he never even bothered to call again. This, despite that my wife is disabled, my son only 3 years old, and I am bedridden being just off a hip surgery.
He smelled of alcohol in the afternoon on second day of the job. He was all over the place, running around the neighborhood, disappearing for hours during the job, lying about when he would arrive to work. He's a real mess.
He was actually referred by our neighbor, whom we learned got a cut from Larry.
All of the online and government agency reports and licensing on him check out, for Suffolk County, anyway, but I promise you, not for long.
He’s not worthy to be allowed to touch Long Island, let alone live and work here. SG.
I am suing him for the full price I paid him plus the thousands I had to pay legit contractor (find my positive review of him here on Angie’s List) to fix his sloppy, careless, out-of-code work that endangered my family.
I am reporting him to the Revdex.com (as did a police officer who is also suing him).
I am suing and reporting him the the NYS Attorney General, Suffolk County where he lists his business address, and reporting him to Nassau County where I live.
Keep this wacked out maniac away from your family.
And, I just found out that he lied and is not licensed in Nassau County. Therefore, he brought in an inspector (who would've mocked his job) and he never even filed the job.
Want more details: defective and even used equipment, careless work; used cheaper items than listed on receipt; numerous dangerous violations throughout his work of installing new circuit board and wiring; never brought inspector as promised; left cleanup to me being bedridden from surgery; I had to hire a professional electrician to undo his garbage and completely redo the entire job to ensure my family is safe.

Review: Brite Spark was hired to install new electric meter and new electric service panel.

He did the install but it was not done to industry standards. It failed an independent inspection.

Additionally, he was to return to finish the job, as stated on the receipt, but always had an excuse why he couldn't return or stated a specific time he'd return but would be a no show.Desired Settlement: For Brite Spark to come back to complete the work to industry standards (the current National Electrical Code)

Specifically:

1. The system is not properly grounded. The service panel needs to connected to two grounding rods.

2. Replace the 15 amp GFCI breaker- Brite Spark installed a used GFCI breaker, and other used breakers- but wrote all new breakers on the receipt.. The used GFCI breaker is defective, it constantly trips and is difficult to reset.

3. Replace the 50amp breaker with a 40amp breaker. Brite Spark installed a 50amp breaker on a wire that can only safely carry a 40amp load.

4. On Install a grounding bridge attached to the grounding wire for utilities to hook up to. This is according to the NEC code.

5. Install a cover/conduit body where the main wire enters the house from the electric meterbox. Brite Spark left it open. On the receipt, Brite Spark stated he would return in two days to finish the job but never did. He did not forget to cash my check though.

If this is not resolved through the Revdex.com in a timely manner, to the National Electrical Code and to pass an independent electrical inspection, my next step is to have another electrician finish the job. I will also initiate a Smalls Claims Action against Brite Spark for the cost of the second electrician and the re-inspection fee.
