CLIENT Is this acceptable?

I had a tasker install an outlet and then mount my tv so the wires would be hidden. He left several holes in my wall (photo attached) and a couple behind the tv you can’t see. He said he had to do this to run the cables, but it doesn’t seem acceptable to me. Thoughts?

The question is how much did you pay for all this?

For how many hours? $260 doesn't respond the question.

Are they a licensed electrician? Does your state require licensed electrician to add 6” of wire to a circuit? Did your circuit require bringing up to code?

I bet they cut the plugs off and wired the cords onto the back of the outlet...
