I had three different bids and I chose them as they did the job for us before and the price was reasonable. Everything went very well. The installers were wonderful people to work with. Provided excellent service for us. I highly recommend them. They worked for us before, for a project for recessed lights, they took their time to be sure they do the job right and to our satisfaction. Great Job crew!

David and Marcus did an outstanding job. They arrived within the time frame they promised. They were very friendly and thorough, and they also talked through everything they were doing, why they were checking what they were looking at, what best practices were, etc. They discovered the problem I had (a loose wire) and not only repaired it, but also double-checked the other connections in the room to make sure there were no other problems. Will definitely use them again in the future.

I had used this company about a year ago to hook up a whole house fan. As before, the two electricians arrived promptly and remembered me from when I used them about a year ago. They were professional and affable, and did the work quickly yet efficiently. They also looked at some other electrical projects I have and gave me (free) advice on how to proceed. Price was reasonable and although two men came, I was only charged for one. Received a paid invoice by email the same day. Would definitely use them again and recommend them highly.

It went very well. He charged me his price instead of marking it up for the lights, and went and got them himself from Home Depot as well.

The job went very well. The two electricians, Dave and Mark work very hard and offer advice on placement. There were many issues with above ceiling rafters in the way, they got back into the attic space and continued to work to find a resolution that would work for me. They kept me in the loop the entire project and the LED's transformed the house that was poorly lit. We just recently bought the house, it was built in 1986. Charles came over to inspect the work upon completion and wanted to make sure I was satisfied with the work peformed. I would hire them again in the future!

It was for 2 hours and two guys came in and they met my concerns first. They checked all my sockets. I checked because when I turn on the socket, it will flicker so they fixed that. I make sure that there was no cause for fire or if it's put in a wrong way but they did a good job. It was a great deal and I like them.

That was good and he re-wired my garage. It took the full 2 hours and there was another charge too, but the price was not bad. I still have his card and I would use him again if I need electrical work done.

After an initial consultation and estimate, Charles and his crew arrived a few days later and started right away. The demolition of the old wiring was the first phase of this project. I was amazed at how careful yet speedy they made this phase. Next was routing the wire for each circuit. This was the longest phase taking more than a few days (it is a heavily-partitioned two story house after all). If there was a hiccup, they always figured it out. They were adamant about minimizing wall and general cosmetic damage while working in the walls and floors. They are incredibly thorough. In the end, job well done with minimal (wall access) damage that was beautifully patched by "their drywall guy." I would recommend these guys in a heartbeat, especially to anyone who needs extensive work done. He gave me a bid and he stuck to it! Very, very happy!

They fixed what needed to be fixed and more.
Description of Work: They were prompt, came out to fix my attic fans and even had to come out a second time to check one again and did not charge me for the second time. They were very friendly and knew what to do. Also had them check an electrical box that was hanging on the side of the house and they propped it up and told me who to call. Would definitely use this company again.

Unfortunately if the remote code is changed or tampered with it is beyond our control and voids the warranty. Anytime our work is altered it voids our warranty and if we are called out to fix it there will be a service charge.

Very well. He stifled his chuckles over my obvious ignorance and repaired the potentially hazardous wiring issues I'd caused by trying to do it myself.

I love my new lights! The installers were prompt, professional, and very pleasant, and very precise in their work. And because the large florescent light was removed, they recommended Bruce Anderson to do the drywall and painting so it now looks like my kitchen originally came with can lights. After having these lights installed, several of my friends are now thinking about having them installed also.

They arrived on time, worked quickly, and were very professional and knowledgeable. We would definitely call them again if we have electrical needs.
Description of Work: We were selling our 50 year old house and needed some work completed per the buyer's inspection report. Charles Young Electric inspected some GFI's and installed outlets. They also confirmed that our electrical panel was in good shape and documented this information in a letter (evidently there had been concerns about the brand that we had).

It was okay except that we had some trouble here and we actually had to call. They brought two people instead of one so that meant I would be charged more than I had planned for an hour's work for them to put a ceiling light in. I ended up paying extra to have them do the work. They did it in an hour and a half. So I paid for an extra hour's work. Then they had trouble with the circuit but they did not charge me for all that extra time that they spent troubleshooting the circuit. However four months later we had a problem with our circuit short circuiting that had that switch on it. We called them and they came out for free. They looked at it and fixed it. But what they did they were embarrassed about because they had not covered the wires. They had not insulated them but they backed up all their work. They responded quickly when I called them up and they sent somebody out.
