Problem number 1: Not licensed in Florida. It doesn't matter that he has been doing this for forty years. Florida license required.

Problem number 2: It was done without a permit.

Problem number 3+: They have been mentioned in prior posts here.

My advice: I think she should talk to a licensed electrician.
Find out what it would take to undo and redo this job. It isn't going to be cheap but it could come back and bite her someday. It is not something I would want hanging over my head.
