Description of Work: Ian installed a receptacle on each visit - one in kitchen and one in the bathroom where he had to remove some dry wall. He was very professional and all work was done to code. He cleaned up the work areas very nice and even saved the dry wall pieces and reattached them to the wall.

When our kitchen was remodeled, the refrigerator outlet was mounted outside a cabinet in a separate electrical box protruding from a cabinet. We needed to have the electrical outlet moved into the wall behind the refrigerator to be able to fit in a new larger refrigerator. Ian came by on time and gave me an estimate and proceeded to do the work asked for. He came across some problems with access to the wall due to limited space inside the wall but persevered and kept to his estimate even though it took longer than he thought it would. Everything was cleaned up satisfactorily. I would use his services again for future needs.
Description of Work: Moved electrical outlet.

They arrived within the time frame given. We discussed what exactly needed to be done. They began they work. During the course of the work, a complication arised (due to my fan not their work) and they gave me several options on how to proceed and were very patient while I made my decision. They completed the work, faster than estimated even with the additional complication. They cleaned up the area thoroughly, replacing my daughter's stuffed animals and even changed a light bulb. They were extremely courteous and very professional. I highly recommend this company and would definitely use them again.

The work went very smoothly. It was an extenasive job in that I live in a condo which has metal studs so running the electrical cable to the various outlets and fan connections was a time consuming job. They had to make holes in the drywall to access the areas where the cable needed to be strung. Since it was a condominum they had to use metal cable rather than the simpler romex so this took additional time and effort. They were extremely efficient and their work caused very little inconvenience. There was minimal damage to the drywall, the drywall was saved and replaced in the holes that were made and all mess was thoroughly cleaned. Ian and his crew were extremely professional, friendly and arrived on time. When I found there was a bathroom light that was not working after they left I called and they immediately arranged to come out and fix it. I recommend this company highly and will definately use them again for any additional electrical work I have need of.
Description of Work: I had Ian Marsh and his crews install 2 ceiling fans, which required running power to the ceiling locations for the fans in my home and two new electr,ical outlets. I also had them upgrade the electrical panel to add more amps to my electrical service.

Once he started he finished when he said he would although he ran into quite a few problems. More importantly he stuck to his quoted price even when it was clear he found more trouble than he had bargained for. Came back a week a later to fix a problem that we didn't know we had originally. He did a great job. His guys were professional and cleaned up after themselves. Did an outstanding job for us. I will definitely have him take care of any future electrical needs we may have.

They did a good job and gave sage advice where needed. Replacing knob and tube in a plaster and lath house is messy, but they kept the work area clean everyday, in fact they cleaned up after themselves before moving onto the next room. As others have said, Ian is an all around good guy.

Ian was on time and professional and pleasant. He brought two other electricians with him so that the job went quickly and smoothly. He had to come back for the Fios job and did not charge me until the entire job was complete.
Description of Work: Installed two sconces - hardwire and dimmer switch; checked photo cells on outside lights and replaced several bulbs; installed box necessary for for Verizon Fios; also fixed a broken cabinet hinge and a lock, even though he didn't have to.

We are recent homeowners and found that Angies list has been extremely helpful. Our first mission was to get some electrical fixed and we had three electricians from Angies List with three different quotes. South Bay Electrics quote was half the money as the other two. When Ian told us the estimate, we eagerly asked, When can you start? He surprisingly replied, Right away. As Ian worked he found other issues and kept to his estimate even though he had to do twice the work. He also informed us of future electrical projects we might want to consider, which I thought was very informative. He worked with my husband, showing him how to fix simple problems that could come up later. He was prompt, polite and efficient. We will call South Bay Electric first before any other company. I highly recommend them to any one needing electrical advise. As an example of their work, as Ian left he noticed the door knob needed to be fixed and offered to stay and fix it. It was a wonderful experience and we hope to have many more as our home buying to do list gets longer.

It went great, Ian did exactly what he promised(and even some extra)for the price agreed upon. He was more than willing to share his knowledge and teach me a few things I didn't know. He is worthy of any home owner's trust, and is now officially my electrician.
Description of Work: Ran two 30 amp 110V lines from my breaker to a bathroom in the middle of a remodel. Required some light construction, running EMT through the roof and up into a 2nd story attic, then Romex through the attic down into the bathroom, through studs and into a junction box. Also provided some consulting, educating, and trouble shooting on other minor electrical issues in the remodel.
