Installation consist of just pulling the wire from our existing light to our dining table which is about 3-4ft away. Hanging it on the concrete ceiling.
The best quote we got was $100 but the electrician failed to show up yesterday.
Anybody know where I can get a good electrician who can do the work for good price? in RICHMOND?
Thanks

from his OP it seemed like he already had a chandelier and just wanted to replace it with a new one. that is re/re not new install?
edit: nvm.
totally mis-read that.
OP go hire an electrician and get it done right. otherwise you'll have to go get lengths of 14-2 and maybe 14-3 if you wanna do a 3 way switch setup. as well as fish tape to pull wire, etc etc.
not worth the headache of doing it yourself especially if you havent dont it before.
the prices you were quoted seem reasonable now that i realize whats going on.
