They were great! They were on time and they were very good about getting back in touch with me when I called the office. They immediately recognized the problem and worked really well together to make sure nobody was ever sitting around doing nothing. If one had to run to the store, the other was taking apart the stuff that was being replaced. I'm a really happy camper! They were very nice gentlemen and had real great senses of humor.
Description of Work: I thought I had a noise coming from my neighbor's garage, but my timer that used to turn my lights off and on was getting ready to blow! They took care of it and installed two motion sensor lights for me.

I made an appointment the day before, and Dominic was able to show up first thing the next morning. In the first two minutes he found it was not the ballast but a loose bulb that caused the entire unit to go out. Despite the quick fix, he charged the full labor/service fee. This was certainly fair, and he fixed the problem quickly and effectively, although I might have given a first-time customer a break on the price under the circumstances to establish a relationship.
Description of Work: I called the company because the florescent fixture in the bathroom had gone out and I thought it might be the ballast.

It was overall a great experience and I highly recommend them to others.
Description of Work: I called Dominic the Electrician who had advertised a special on recessed lighting. They came to my house on time, gave me an estimate that matched their advertisement, and completed the work assing three lights right then in a little over an hour. They were very professional, the work completed was excellent. They even advised me on how to address a separate electrical issue that I could fix myself. I highly recommend this company. They were outstanding.

I just contacted them and they got somebody to come out at the end of the day after working on a bigger project. They came out and worked on the box and got it to reset and the problem was that it tripped and wouldn’t reset. I spent about $50 or $60 on that service. I would most likely use them again. They were just very prompt and worked with me around other stuff and just did a very quick, thorough and professional job.
Description of Work: I use Dominic The Electrician for electrical services. The last time I used them was probably back in April and they repaired a circuit breaker that was malfunctioning and got it working again.

I wasn't familiar with any electricians in the area, so I joined Angie's list to glean information and recommendations. After selecting Dominic The Electrician, I called their office to ask for a service call. Though very nice to speak with, it took about 1.5 days to get a time and commitment to come out and help us. The serviceman was a pro! He evaluated the problem, and fixed it. He also pointed out other issues that may be in our future due to the age of our home and worn out old wiring - as well as gave us an estimate of what that may cost down the line. I was amazed at the reasonable charge for the work done. The whole job took less than an hour. Will deffinately call Dominic's team again.

Two man crew arrived on time and ready to work. Explaned what they would do for the price which was the same as the stated price in the ad. They worked very clean and quickly.The lights look great and work great. I paid $90.00 per light last year to another company and they took longer for two then Dominic for 8. I will use them again and again for all my electric needs. .

The whole thing went very smoothly from start to finish. Dominic came and gave us a quote which was better than other quotes that we received. His people showed up on time on the day of installation. They were very professional, covered the work are properly, got the work done in time, and cleaned up. Very satisfied.

Stephanie was able to give me a quote over the phone based on my description of thd job and in response to her questions. Although we had played phone tag for a couple of days, once I received the quote, she was able to fit me into her schedule within 2 days. Quote was very competitive and was significantly lower than 2 other electricians who came out to view the job first. Dominic and his helper were punctual and efficient. They covered work area prior to job and cleaned up very well when done. They had to take down an existing light box and were kind enough to take light with them for disposal and break down wood box and dispose in my trash for me. They completed entire job, which was install of 4 recess lights and replacement of 1 existing recessed light with install of dimmer switch in approximately 1 1/2 hrs. This included Dominic calling his drywall guy who arrived to perform some minor patching for a nominal charge. This was great as I did not need to look for a handyman to perform drywall work and not delay finished product. I was able to paint the area after they left and so this entire project was completed in one day! I highly recommend Dominic and his company and would call them for any other electrical needs.

There are two old addages that apply to this situation: Don't be penny wise and pound foolish, and you get what you pay for. Just because a contractor gives you the lowest bid, does not mean you should use him. The following is a brief narrative of how our project went. Overall, the work was done and it was done well, but it was unnecessarily stressful. We hired Dominic after receiving bids from several other electricians. There were two seperate projects: (1) upgrade a service panel; and (2) remove some old wiring in the house and upgrade all of the outlets. At the outset, Domic's scheduler is very nice and Dominic was punctual regarding both the estimate and the work. Dominic reviewed the job and gave us two estimates. The first estimate was for $1350 to upgrade the panel. The second estimate was to remove the old wiring and replace it. There was no guarantee we would use Dominic for both projects. For the second estimate (re-wiring), Dominic said he would spend 6-7 hours of time doing actual work removing the wire and would then have a game plan for the remainder. Dominic opined that there would not be significant work left aftwewards. The day before the scheduled panel upgrade, I called and emailed Dominic to make sure they had obtained the permit from the City for the panel upgrade. Dominic's staff assured me that it would be done in the morning. That morning I asked Dominic if he had obtained the permit. Dominic told me that the City is busy in the morning and they would get it at lunch. That afternoon, I returned to the house and the 6-7 hours of work had not been done. Instead, all of the outlets had been opened in anticipation of the re-wiring work and we were given a new estimate of $3500 which was closer to 3 full days worth of work (not 6-7 hours). Dominic admitted to me that he had made a mistake with regard to how he had initially bid the project and that he was trying to make sure we were informed upfront. Dominic also had a well respected plasterer come out and gave us a rough estimate as to what it would cost to repair the stucco when the wiring work had been done. That said, we opted to refrain from doing the re-wiring for the moment and told Dominc to complete the panel. As to the permit, Dominic told us that he would get the permit once all of the interior work was done-regardless of whether he did the interior work or another electrician did it.We then had a number of electricians examine the house to provide estimates for the rewiring. None of the 5 electricians we brought through thought it was ultimately needed. We then called Dominic and asked him to finish th panel job and pull the permit. At first, Dominic argued with us that the City would not sign off on the permit as the interior work had not been done. Of course, Dominic never told us that when he upgraded the panel. I then had to call the City and had discussions with their chief electrical inspector who told me that the only thing the City would examine was the panel and that interior work (if any) would be governed under another permit should we decide to do it. Another problem then arose. The City's electrical inspector told me that the City would not sign off on the panel unless Edison had approved of the location. Whenever a panel is upgraded and/or relocated, Edison has to send their guys out to examine the location and to ensure that sufficient juice is going from their lines into the house to accomodate the new panel. Sometimes, Edison asks people to put the panel someplace else. Dominic's folks swore up and down that this was not needed as the location of the panel had not changed. Nevertheless, I then called Edison and they confirmed that they have to be consulted regardless of whether the panel is moved. Fortunately, Edison came out the next day and examined and approved the panel installation. Edison then left a sticker on the panel. After serious prodding, and given that I had done a good deal of the permitting legwork, Dominic's guys came out and mapped out the panel (labeled the panel) and then called out the City inspector. The panel passed inspection. The work was ultimately done and I got a very good price on it. However, the permitting became an issue. As a reasonable person, I would say that Dominc is a solid electrician and provides reasonable prices. However, the permitting and Edison issue were a turn off and caused allot of stress.

I was looking to have 2 fans serviced/installed. I called the office and spoke with Stephanie on a Monday. She said they had availability on Thursday from 3-4pm but she was waiting to see if they were going to be finishing a big job early and they may be able to fit my job in earlier. She said she would call me once they called in. I did not receive a call back on Monday or Tuesday. I called on Wednesday to confirm the appointment for Thursday. Another office worker picked up the phone, I asked for Stephanie. I was told that she was on a conference call and would call be back when she was off the call. I waited 5 hours before I called back to check on Thursdays appointment. The same person picked up a second time, she told me that Stephanie was aware of my request and that she was waiting for the crews to call so she could schedule my service. I asked about Thursday and there was no longer any availability. It has been 3 weeks and I still have not received the promised phone call.

Response from Dominic The Electrician
Member... I am sorry for your experience. Dominic and I got married on July 30th and we were on our honeymoon - in fact we just got back late last night. Today is my first day back at the office as I was out of the office for a few weeks preparing for this special day. Neither Dom nor I have ever taken off this amount of time before so I apologize if you got stuck without service during this unique time period in our lives. If you would like for us to still come out (you probably have already gotten the work done) I would be happy to get you on the schedule in a timely fashion and I would like to offer you a special discount for your troubles. Once again, I am sorry for your frustration, we are a Dominic and Stephanie ran family business and we do really try our best.

Dominic The Electrician is exceptional from start to finish. Stephanie their office manager gets the scheduling put together perfectly and the technicians arrive right on time. They do the job exactly as it should be and quickly and at the right price.
Description of Work: Dominic's installed two 4 tube fluorescent ceiling fixtures I had just purchased. These were not (in my opinion) a simple installation item. They were in kit form in the box. I assembled what I could but soon realized the limits of my capabilities. The part I did was not quite right and Dominic's quickly remedied that. Then, as on another recent job they did for me, they quickly and professionally got to business. Measuring, lining up, drilling, mounting wiring and installing the main fixtures. Then they installed a rather cumbersome/awkward and heavy oak covering over each fixture. All of these processes were accomplished expertly and perfectly. It would have taken me a long time to do this myself and would have likely screwed up a lot and needed the help of a neighbor. The two technicians did it expertly within an hour. Neither one needing the help of the other - each installing one of the large heavy fixtures perfectly . What Toyota says - "How could you ask for anything more"? I feel complete confidence having Dominic The Electrician do work for me. While they were here I inquired about a quote for a future job I am considering. If the quote feels good, I won't even bother with obtaining a second estimate. That's how confident I feel about their work and price.
