  WARNING!!!! DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER USING THIS COMPANY. THIS IS NOT THE SAME COMPANY THAT PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED 5 STAR REVIEWS. No matter what price you get from them. I probably have more experience than anyone with this company. I used common ground twice when Paul was still the owner. Once for my business and once at my house. Both times I received 5 star+ service and work. Paul sold the business to Darin about a year ago. I used them 3 different times since. Twice for my home and once for my business. I got an affordable quote with a promise of a timely completion. Each time the project dragged on for additional weeks with tons of excused for the delay. The last project they worked on for me started in January 2022. I had to kick them off and hire another electrician to finish the project. Darin does not know how to manage employees or run this company. This has been the most frustrating experience. One star seems like too good a review. In the end I feel like I got scammed.

  Also would give zero stars if we could and wish we would have read the reviews before. We contacted Common Ground Electric to have our car charger (electrify america) installed. In summary: Terrible business, avoid them if you can. Electricians got the job done but took a lot of follow-up, patience and ended up paying way more than the quote. Their motto is "Honest, Reliable, Responsive, Local". I would say the only accurate word there is "Local". Full details: After calling them they were responsive in getting to us to quote the work, that is about the only positive I can say. Once we received the quote, Darin mentioned that we needed to pay 50% up-front to get on the calendar and then the rest upon completion. We did as he asked and did not hear from them for 2 weeks. After reaching out various times, we finally had an electrician show up (after many reschedules), only to find out that he needed to then look over the job again to find out what materials were needed. He left after 30 min only to not hear from them again for another few days and multiple re-schedules. When they did show up again, it was a different crew and they were efficient with the install and had the Car Charger mounted and wired up just outside the panel in a few hours. Only to find out from a phone call from Darin that we in fact now needed a new panel to support the car charger install and he would need more money up-front to purchase the panel and then the remainder after they completed. We paid the additional deposit and then after many more days (and more reschedules) they finally showed up to complete the install. After about 3-4 hours of work, Darin stopped by and shared that they were almost done with the install and in fact no new panel was needed. They did not explain this until after the work was done and did not repay us the additional deposit we gave them for the new panel. Instead, Darin had the nerve to then invoice us more for the work done and said that he saved us money

  Would give zero stars if that were an option. Quoted me $1400 to get my hot tub wired up, after shopping around a bit asked if they could be more competitive with the market price (~$1k). After some negotiating, they came down to that reasonable price. Awesome. Paid a $400 deposit on Oct. 7th, they promised they would have it done by weeks end. Guy finally came out after more than a week of following up for all of ten minutes, said he would need to run to the store for more materials, and never came back. Called and emailed the office several times, they kept saying they would be out within the next few days. Then claimed they couldn't get the materials. Finally confirmed they got the materials in and said someone would be there no later than Tuesday, Oct. 26th. No one showed, ZERO communication from the office until I was fed up enough to reach back out on Nov. 5 to see what was going on. They said they couldn't get anyone out to do the work, so have just had to fire them after nearly a month of excuses and lies. Save yourself the hassle and find someone who wants to work.
