I have used Joe and his crew on several different projects over the years. Joe is very knowledgeable in all aspects of construction and especially electrical. I would (and have) highly recommend him to any of my friends and family.

DO NOT USE THIS SO CALLED CONTRACTOR VERY UNHAPPY AND HURT!!
We hired Arcs & Sparks to Redo an Electrical panel for us for $3000 they had to cut into my wall as the older electric panels were much smaller than now, When they got done installing it, I had to pay him another $300 for him to tape and texture it when it should of been included, Now I have to buy paint and paint the entire wall.
We then paid them $2500 to take out our Gas fireplace so we can have a regular fireplace, He said it was done and working but it was not the flu inside was not the right size for the fireplace.
Next we paid them $3000 to rip out an old tile bathroom & laundry room floor and to install New flooring, When we inspected the floor after it was supposedly done we noticed he did not put the flooring on correctly (locking it into the grooves) and he used the same color putty to fill in gaps where he knew he did not do a good job, He also wanted to charge me another $300 to put back on New baseboards that he took off in the first place., and now when you walk from the laundry room floor to the bathroom floor it sinks in as they did not put hardly anything to firm it or stabilize it so that would not happen.
And the cutting job on the flooring was horrible, I have pictures of everything if anyone wants to see them.I told the owner everything mentioned here as he did most of the work, and he did NOT care at all he just wanted the money, and speaking of money sales tax is supposed o be 7.75% in the state of New Mexico and he charged me over 9%, which will be reported to NM sales tax board.
He told me after a few weeks the floor should stretch out and fix itself.
And we did not know about the flu until last week when I had someone come to see why it is not working like he said it was.
He left all 3 jobs not completed.
I paid him the money as we were running a store when he was finished and had no choice and they seemed like they were in a huge hurry.
The owner Joseph told us he would honor a year warranty on the flooring.
When we called him to let him know that the FLOORNG did not magically fix itself like he hoped it would, When we called him and let him know about the flu and the flooring he told me he is out of the country for over a month, So we waited until the first of January is when he told us to call him, and he again told us he is still out of the country and will not be back until the 21tst of January, He then told me maybe he could get someone over there to look at the issues, “Even though he clearly knew all of them”.
He asked me for pictures and I told him pictures will not show the issues and told him again about the flu, From that point on it has been almost 2 weeks without any reply, So I wrote to him again as this was done all be texting as he does not seem to answer his phone since he was already paid by us.
To this day no response so I am here now letting people know his reputation and lack of workmanship and is not to be trusted at all.
This message will go to the better business Breau as well as the Contractors License board, We hate to do this but we are not only out the money but now we have to PAY someone else to fix the job they (JOE) never completed!

I was very impressed with their prices, responsiveness, and workmanship. Arcs N Sparks wasn't afraid to go the extra mile and provide excellent service as well as project quality. I will definitely be reaching out to Arcs N Sparks again for my next project.

Owes me $3000 for the failed permit, $623 in blown 100a fuses ($20/each), $457 in useless parts he needed and did not use, $823 in propane needed because our power was flaky.
Hired for various tasks and cannot pass a permit inspection. Claimed knowledge of specific project details, but absolutely cut corners costing me thousands more. Got second and third opinions from other licensed pros who shook their heads in disbelief at what they saw describing the flaws as, “basic stuff he should know”. When this guy began talking badly about his other paying customers we got nervous and began taking copious notes, getting changes in writing, receipts, video when possible. Sure enough he now ‘remembers’ enough to say he was never in the wrong. Still have not passed an inspection and other community members are talking about shoddy work, dumping fuel on property, leaving trash and cigaret butts on site. Right now he has ghosted after two months without reliable power- not even so much as a confirmation text. Finally got him back here this morning to which he alloced “20 mins” to assess the outage. But not to fix it? No. That is a giant “fu” to people, right? He left saying he was going for parts and eight hours later nothing. Nightmare situation. Avoid at all costs.
