Despite me not being happy with this service, I do want to say that the provider was 100% prompt and professional in his mannerisms and appearance. I felt comfortable having him in my home and he was articulate and clean cut. I'd planned to have him install two light fixtures in two bedrooms that had ceiling fans( in a new house we had purchased but not moved into). He discovered that due to those fixtures being only wired for fans, he could not complete that task in the time allotted since it would require much more time than I had purchased from Angie'sList. No problem, I asked would he then please install a ceiling fan in a room that already had a fan that we just wanted to replace. He went to work assembling the fan, but when he went to hang it he told me that there was a small part (about a dollar at Home Depot) in the ceiling that needed to be fixed before he could safely hang it and that he didn't have the part, neither did he have time to go get it, (I offered to also go get it) based on the time I had purchased from AL. So, rather than figuring out that he needed that part first, and having the time to run to home depot (3 minutes from my house) he assembled the entire fan (took about 20 minutes) and had to leave it in the middle of the floor (I have four small children) because of the part that needed to be replaced. He did end up attaching new outlet covers for me on two outlets in the bathroom (took about five minutes). So, the ACTUAL work done was the attaching of the two outlet covers and the assembly of the fan (which I could have certainly done myself - but now rather than having it protected in its box, its out in the middle of my bedroom floor) The part that irked me was how he was MORE than happy to quote me on the work that he was not able to do that day, the re-wiring of the overhead lights in the bedrooms, the actual INSTALLING of the ceiling fan that he assembled but did not install, the patching of drywall for holes that would need to be cut, etc. etc. He spent the majority of the time I spent to have him working, writing up bids for him to come back and work. I totally felt like this was a bait and switch move and his estimate/quote was ridiculously high. The electrician we DID end up hiring to do the work (who was excellent by the way!) did it for less than half of MJ's quote. He went on and on and on about his work might seem high, but it was because he did the work the right way and never took short-cuts, etc. I'm sure he is a very talented electrician (though he never did any actual electrical work for us), but his business practices just did not sit well with me and to be honest made me quite skeptic of the AL process.
Description of Work: Determined we could not put traditional light fixtures in three rooms of our new home since they were only wired for ceiling fans. Assembled a ceiling fan, then determined it could not be put up in the one room that already had a ceiling fan, attached two outlet covers.

Hello, thankyou for your review, I'm verry sorry, that I couldn't meet your requirements, I was call to trouble soot 3 bedrooms ceiling mount fixtures, that didn't have a way to be turned off, I did and adviced you of the problem you were having, that is part of doing electrical work. Since it took me not much time to complete thar task, you asked if I could install a ceiling fan, since I wanted you to get as much as posible for what you'd pay for and by looking at ceiling fan box, it seemed to be ok, I admit that I made a mistake by not cheking closely to the box, when I was about to install fan, discovered, that someone else had broken the suport screws, wich are especial screws, I told you that the whole ceiling fan box had to be replaced do to unsaved conditions trying to install fan with same box, I don't understand why you're saying that we needed a $1.00 part thar is not right, I hope some one else didn't install your fan with same box, because is not safe . Then I went ahead and install new devices in open electrical boxes considering your family safety. about estimate, I would not do something I'm not being asked to do, you told me exactly what you needed an estimate on and that's exactly what I did. About what you paid for my services was $99.00 not $200.00 I was very clear that I only had the time to complete the 2 house then, do to my very tight schedu and that travel time was part of the 2 hours, I offered to not wast any of your time and that I could come back prepared the following day, or if you wanted me to take the fan apart and put back in the box you said no, so I'm verry sorry for not meeting your expectations but I feel we we didn't comunicated well enough to be in the same page, I think that if you'd giving me the opportunity, to do some work for you, even though we're more expensive than the electrician you hired, I think you'd been very satisfy with our work. If you feel that you didn't get what you pay for I'm willing to to offer you a 1 hour of any elctrical work you may have within the next 30 days, also just to remind you if your electrician didn't change the whole ceiling fan box your fan is not installed properly.

This was part of a 2 hour coupon special. The coupon had expired (had a family crisis which caused the delay in responding). I discussed the issue with the owner and he extended the coupon (had to formally cite circumstances in an email). He arrived as scheduled, discussed the items, prioritized things since the coupon only covered two hours and some of the work desired would exceed the available time. We agreed on a game plan and he proceeded with the work. Very efficient and professional. He had all the necessary parts available.
Description of Work: Repairing some wiring and outlets and moving outlet to other side of wall.

I initially hired MJ Electric to install power in my attic. Service was excellent and pricing was very fair and competitive. I also needed an outlet that never worked repaired. Though it couldn't get done easily (for a multitude of reasons having nothing to do with MJ Electric), they scheduled additional time with me to come back and fix the outlet. In addition, they found multiple areas where the electrical wiring, etc. was not up to code in my home. For that I am so thankful! We used MJ Electric to remedy those issues as well as install an updated electrical panel for our house as we wanted to install solar panels. MJ Electric took care of permits, inspections, etc. (something I am so happy to not have to deal with)! These folks are very honest and do excellent work! I would highly recommend them to anyone and plan on using them in the future for other projects!

I purchased the service through one of Angie's List Deals. $99 for two hours of electrical work. It was a little problematic scheduling a first appointment. (I don't blame the service provider for this. I think scheduling appointments through e-mail -- which is how the "Angie's List Deals" work -- is inefficient and a bit of a nuisance.) Mr. Jaime came out, looked at our job, and said he would have to go purchase some materials. Unfortunately, he arrived towards the end of the two-hour window, and I had to leave. We set a future date on which he would return and do the work. When the second date arrived, Mr. Jaime did not show up. He called later that day and said he forgot about the appointment. He was very, very apologetic. We set up another date for him to do the work, and on that date, he completed the project, and did an excellent job.
Description of Work: He installed two light fixtures on the outside of our garage.

The provider showed up a week earlier than what it was scheduled for without any notice. I also requested to install recessed lighting and there was no indication in the messages that it could not be done during the appointment, however, electrican indicated it was larger project and could not do it during 2-hour timeframe I paid for. Basically I paid $99 to re-wire one light as he refused to trace the wiring for a non-working outlet since he would have to go into crawlspace. Electrician tried to upsell and provided unsolicited feedback on what he would have done differently with electric panel upgrade. The last straw was when I told him recessed lighting is less of a priority than doing concrete and landscaping work in my backyard and he told me the lighting should be more of a priority for me, which was also unsolicited advice. I would not use this vendor again nor recommend to anyone and I am generally a very fair consumer.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, for some reson I did make a mistake on my schedule, I apologize for that, but your project was extensively larger than 2 hours you paid for, we trouble shooter one of you're problems and fixed it. We installed a new exterior light fixture, we re worked one bathroom switch, when I explained the situation about the second issue, I was clear of what it should take to fix it, and you were not planing to pay for any extra time, you metioned to me that you had some one else to do the recessed can lights for a significant amount less than my prices, I adviced to go with the other electrician, because I could not do the job for what you were trying to pay for doing it.

Was very late at first appointment due to overbooking and bad traffic (understandable). Then was a little late to second appointment (15 mins). Overall did a good job with minimal drywall work. We like the light fixture look very much. Minor issues were resolved quickly. Would recommend.

Had several outlets that were not working and although I reset the GFI switch there was a 2nd switch upstairs that connected to several of the outlets downstairs. A switch on the master panel would not reset also. Jaime checked all outlets, reset the GFI switch that I didn't find and checked out the switch on the master panel. Master panel switch was not connected to anything and Jaime replaced the switch and connected it correctly. Very friendly and good worker. Knows what he's doing.

Rogue came out at about 10:30 am and finished about 4pm. I had supplied the bathroom lights and he finished the lights very quickly cleaning up any mess from the install. One of the lights were missing the bracket so he went to Lowes and exchanged for a new one. He also picked up a bathroom fan to replace the broken fan. The new fan went in without any problem since he got the one that would fit the existing hole and exhaust. The two replacement fans in the bedroom were installed without any problems. I will definitely use Roque for any more of my electrical needs. He is very professional and you feel that he wanted to make sure what he did was done properly. Thanks Roque
