It took Rick a week to get to me; however that was fine as it wasn't an emergency. He told me he's arrive between 8:00 and 10:00. At 8:00 on the dot he rang the bell. I couldn't believe it. I'm used to contractors who show up late or not at all. He was very friendly and knowledgeable, found a couple of minor problems and fixed them. It's a great relief to have this taken care of by someone who knows what he's doing. I could not hesitate to call Rick again for electrical work. Update 5/10/14: Problem is back. Quality and overall grades downgraded to a C.
Description of Work: Repair issue with flickering lights.

When I called I asked for an estimate of electrical work and he stated they only did emergency work on Saturday. I again stated what I needed done was electrical work but only wanted an estimate. When I told him I had a lamp where the on/off switch was broken he said we don't handle that call Pat's lighting. I told him Pat's lighting told me I needed an electrician. He then stated call lamps plus.
Description of Work: Nothing - referred me to someone else

Response from Electrician for Hire
I'm sorry that as a Electrical contractor we do not work on lamps. By repairing or modifying any light fixture, I would be violating the UL listing which is there for the safety of the end user. As a electrical contractor I do house wiring. I do not work on lamps as I explained . I did refer you to 2 other places who might work on light fixtures. You can not order a Big mac from Del Taco. Two completely different things.

It went great .See above
Description of Work: At least half of the electrical boxes, receptacles, in the house we moved into were not grounded. I did not want to plug expensive electrical equipment into an ungrounded box. I got Electrician For Hire name from Angies List. He was able to get to me within 24 hours, He arrived on time with a helper and tracked found the problem. It was an unconnected ground wire in a dry wall covered Dryer receptacle. He connected the ground wire and all the receptacles ( electrical outlets) in my house were grounded. Problem solved. He was finished with in an hour. I was very satisfied.

Electrician for Hire quoted us a price and he stuck to it. He was quick, didn't disrupt things to much, he was neat, and I was really pleased. He was willing to bargain away the service call that was $125 down to $50. He came out on a service call and in about 10 minutes diagnosed the problem. He said to fix it would cost $600. I said gee you are going to charge me $125 for a service call and then a $600 job. Even lawyers give you a free consultation and then tell you what the bill is going to be. I said why don't you work that service call price down and he agreed to that and charged me $50 to show up that day and $600 to fix it and I was happy with that. He showed up at 8 o'clock like he said he would and was out by 10 o'clock. I have no reference for how an electrician will charge, but I don't think he gouged us. I am sure that it was good quality, but only time will tell. I called him on a Monday and asked when he could come out and he said Wednesday was available and I said great. He was on time. I thought he was to the point, didn't talk a lot, said what he wanted to say, and delivered what he said he would. That is what I call professional. I would absolutely use him again and I told him I would use him again in the near future.
Description of Work: We used Electrician for Hire. He put in 3 new lines for the kitchen.
