The owner is Jose Luis. Kano Electric is hired by Gerard Duhon PE to do some minor wiring work for a beam repair scope at my residence, with a contract under HOA. Gerard Duhon PE, who is inconsistent in his word, which I will also write a review about him, told me that the electrical job is supposed to be half a day but the electrician, Cesar Ivan Rosales spent 3 days and still can't get the job done. Half my home is without power for 2 days. The electrician then proceed to work on scope that I have asked for estimate, but did not authorize him to start work. Worse still, Cesar Ivan Rosales complete only partial of the scope I described to him, then demand for full payment. Cesar then call for electrical inspection despite work is not properly done, leading to multiple inspection comments. I was told by Gerard to pay him in order to proceed with the project, which I did pay in full despite Cesar only completed partial scope of what was agreed, without permission. Cesar has not once explain what lead to the comments. One of the very obvious mistake Cesar made, that I found out later is that he connect 14/2 wire to a 20amp circuit, leading to the need to replace a breaker. He then demand more money to solve the issue that he created by stating the comments are not the original scope, those are inspector's comments hence must be done, and told me I should pay for his professional knowledge. I then went to houston permitting center myself then got a few electrician to look at what is on the inspection comment list, and all of them told me all of the scope are not required, except the replacement of breaker which is an obvious breach of code. I reach out to Jose Luis after finding out that he is the electrical contractor who pull the permit. Jose Luis did not once try to solve the problem but try to deceive me by saying the electrician don't work for him anymore, the guy is sick, he knows nothing about this, etc. It is now 1 month into this issue, and it is still not fixed. Mr. Jose Luis decided to block me on phone to prevent me from sending him text to ask for clarifications on whether someone has violated Texas administrative code by using his license without permission or he borrowing his license to other people so I can bring this peculiar case to Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Cesar continues to say whatever he wants without letting me ask questions. The best thing of all this is, contrary to Kano Electric website, Jose Luiz told me he doesn't do small job, and he charge $900 for a trip to look at the issue his workers created. All details in the screen shot of our chat in imessenger. Enjoy..! I have no choice but to engage another electrician to get the job done as Kano Electric, Jose Luiz and Cesar Ivan Rosales all seems to be very deceiving and unreliable, and obviously, have no intend to resolve this matter.
