  He did some electrical work for us after a branch fell and took out our power, the job consisted of replacing the riser wire coming off the meter, and encasing the wires above and below the dual meters in new conduit. The total cost $1,250. Recently we had an electrical emergency with ½ of the power in our house and called Duke Energy come out to investigate. Duke found a lug burnt completely off inside the old meter base, melted conduit, splices inside the meter housing and pointed out that none of this was done to code, was never was inspected, and the meter base should have been replaced when the original work was done. We were lucky that there was not a real fire. Based on our initial dealings with David Cain and the report we got from Duke. We decided we did not want him back at our house, so we hired another contractor do the repair work. I was not present when the work was preformed by Mr. Cain, so I did not see was had been done until Duke and the another contractor we hired to fix it pointed it all out. Duke and the other contractor pointed out the burnt off lug, splices inside the meter base, melted conduit, and basically explained we had paid $1,250 for less than 10' of wire, 10' of conduit, and 4 splices. Duke, the new contractor, and the city inspector that actually came out to inspect the work the new contractor did could not believe what had been done and recommend that we contact the city about the work that had been done. I then contacted the city and also talked to David Cain about his work at my home. Despite the above Mr. Cain did offer us a "Customer Courtesy Refund" of 1/2 the cost of what the new contractor charged us for the repair work...an honorable thing to do but it's been 6 months now and no refund. He gave us his word week after week when I was calling him "I'll forward you a payment next week"...I quit asking about it over a month ago now and likely will never see it.

  Stay away from Cain Electric. I had to use a licensed contractor/electrician to pull a permit for replacement of Load center in one of my rentals I’m about to sell. Unfortunately I use David Cain and he never finished the work he promised and after many text to finish work I got no response. It did not pass home buyers inspection. David Cain is a scam. Funny thing isI asked the City electrical inspector if I could pull the permit myself and have my licensed electrician son in law (KY) not Indiana do the work. The inspector said he would have to be licensed in the City of Jeffersonville, I said why and he said to protect people from scam contractors. What a joke that is. Please stay away from David Cain Electric.

  We used David for our remodel at our new house. Many no-shows delayed the work for several days. Texts were left unanswered for hours and even days. He took another job before ours was finished and left us with no electricity in our family room or basement, wires hanging from the walls, and rooms without switches. It’s a month and a half later and the work still isn’t finished. He is so nice and professional in person, but don’t be deceived. His behavior is consistent with someone who has a very poor work ethic and doesn’t keep his word.
