I had a kid come in and redo my garage. Wish I knew what company he was with to keep him away from everyone else. My drywall guy brought him in as a subcontractor. He sent an apprentice over, never even came to my house, and charged me his labor rate. The apprentice said he'd come back to finish my 220 plug for my electric car charger and never did, left one of outlets disconnected, I had to stop him from using 14/2 on a 20amp circuit at one point, and he disconnected work I'd done to permanently wire a security camera. Needless to say, I was not impressed.

I too have had bad experiences with an electrician that my contractor brought onto the job. It's frustrating because residential electrical is pathetically easy yet they manage to do a terrible job. Nothing like paying for work that is substandard and well below the quality that you, the homeowner, could do over the weekend and with a Time-Life book from the library.
