I purchased a Big Deal of an electrician's services for two hours for $99. I had no problems scheduling the work and Roque called on the day of the appointment and asked to start an hour early; I agreed since I was eager to get to my own job. Removal of the existing ceiling fan proved to be challenging and took longer than I expected, since it wasn't installed correctly in the first place. But, in the end, the new fan went in smoothly and Roque completed everything I asked him to do. He also took the time to walk around the property and look at other work that I will be scheduling in the future. I would not hesitate to call MJ Electric again, and would recommend them for similar work.
Description of Work: He replaced a ceiling fan/light, with an additional universal remote, disconnected an exterior light on a pole, and evalutated other work that needs to be done at my home.

Rogue introduced himself and was very professional. Showed him the rooms to be worked in. He covered everything that could get dirty or damaged. Worked very hard and was in the attic on a very hot day with no complaints.

I needed connection of two new circuits at the breaker panel (my girlfriend said I wasn't allowed to that myself). I had the circuits all wired except connection at breaker panel. Roque relocated one breaker to make room for the new 220V double pole breaker, installed the new breaker and connected up the 2 circuits. This didn't take the full 2 hours, and I had another project halfway completed - needed two circuits joined in a junction box - Roque just went ahead and did the work, used a junction box he had at no extra charge! Definitely satisfied, happy to have the help. Thanks Roque!

Had a late start, he did not arrive on time, but within a reasonable 30 minutes of what he said. Mr. Jaime did a good job on changing out outlets and switches to the Decora style, and because some of the wiring was the old aluminum style, he put on a coating that reduces oxidation on the contacts. He also found some glitches in my home wiring and living room lights. They were not installed correctly. He's coming back for a re-do and get everything installed right.
Description of Work: Changed out outlets and switches to newer Decora. He couldn't get my living room can lights to work, he's coming back again to finish up the job.

Roque was on time and quickly surveyed the tasks at hand. I immediately noticed that he was a very knowledgeable and capable electrician. I appreciated how he asked questions using terms that were easier for me to understand. Late into the job, I asked him if he wouldn't mind helping me with a water heater that was not originally on my list, and he graciously agreed to do it. I do not recommend very many tradesmen, but HIGHLY recommend Roque. I was that pleased.
Description of Work: Installed 6 interior plugs, 2 interior gfi plugs, 1 exterior plug, 4 interior switches, and a five gallon hot water tank under kitchen sink.

He did great work. He was very reliable, professional, knowledgeable hard-working, fair priced electrician. Couldn't have asked for or found a better electrician.
Description of Work: Mario worked on our condo twice. His work was so good on the first smaller project we hired him again to do a bigger project which included additional wiring and adding fixtures throughout our condo. He wired an unfinished dividing wall, installed a hard wired carbon monoxide and smoke alarm, new lighting fixtures in ceilings, bathrooms, and kitchen. He also solved an electrical problem we inherited when we bought our condo and repaired inoperable floor outlets in our concrete floor in two rooms. We are hiring him to do additional work. The first job cost about $200. The second $1000+. We got our money's worth on both.

I did not like him. The guy is not a very good electrician. He came in and he told me that my electrical breaker box that he could not add to it because the breakers were no longer available and when I installed my air conditioner in 2 weeks later, the air conditioner guy told me that they sell the exact breakers at the department store and he was right. This guy was a shyster. I would not recommend him. The only thing he wanted to do was he wanted to upgrade the little electrical outlets. I doubt that he is even a licensed electrician and I would check up on him. He sold me some extra electrical services. His personality was fair but he did not have the products that he recommended on his truck so I had to go and get them myself and that was not real good. He was also late. He said he went up the street and I think he actually might have charged me for the time he was lost.
Description of Work: He replaced some of my electrical outlets.

We had a garbage disposer that periodically would trip the protected circuit (it was incorrectly wired, as it turns out). We were unable to reset it to get the disposer to work. Jaime was booked solidly for the next two weeks, but we were only in town for a short time, so he made a special trip to work on it on Sunday. He was very pleasant and professional and persisted to find the issue which didn't give its secret up easily. He made a temporary repair within the quoted time and provided us an estimate for a permanent resolution for the next time we're in town. We are very pleased with his work and look forward to contracting with MJ Electric again.
Description of Work: Identified circuit problem with garbage disposer and corrected in 2 hours.

My husband was here with him for the first 2 hours and my husband had given him the ok to go ahead and work for another hour. The provider informed me that the electrical was so dangerous that it needed to be fixed and would be an additional $2000. He also put a hole in my wall that I never approved and replaced an outlet that I never approved. He was talking to me for about 40 minutes, while charging me, explaining all the issues and trying to upsell me. I informed him that I did not want to go ahead with his recommended repairs at this time. He did give me an additional bill then for $227 for the extra work. I got a second opinion and that electrician was able to fix the minor issues for $80, he said there were no major issues as was stated by MJ Electric. I feel that MJ Electric was very dishonest and only tried to get more money out of me.

Response from MJ Electric
I'm sorry about your bad experience with our company, I'm Roque Jaime the owner of MJ electric and I'm the technician that served you. I'm glad that you got a second opinion regarding the 30 amp 240 volt circuit that feed the electric dryer, although I still feel that there is a fire hazard issue with the circuit because you don't have the correct wire size required by the National Electrical Code, you need to have 2 lines of minimum #10 wire you only have 1 line of #8 wire and 1 line of #12 wire although the circuit is functional. Do to the line #12 wire you are over heating your wire and can cause a fire. I encourage you to bring a electrical city inspector for a third opinion because as a professional electrician, to me safety comes first. I recommended to replace the entire line , first of all to be safe , second to meet the National Electrical Code. About talking to you for a long time, I was trying to answer all your questions and concerns. I do not cut any wall holes without customer approval, sorry for the misunderstanding. I wish you the best with your electrical system and if you have any questions feel free to contact me, I'll be very happy to help you with any electrical issues.

The fuse box took the longest. It had to be remove from the bathroom where it should have never been placed.... And relocated onto a wall in my bedroom. The work took sometime but was well worth it. He also referred a friend, who was bonded and licensed to repair the hole left in the bathroom. This work was also done well. Because the work was so extensive and costly for me. He also worked with me to do the work over an extended time frame. This allowed me to pull money together that made it easier to pay him without using a credit card!! Imagine any other contractor working so hard with and a for a client!!
Description of Work: Over a course of time had him fixing a multitude of electrical problems in my home. The major work to to relocate and install a brand new fuse box. He also replaced and up graded all of the electrical outlets though out the house. And put in GFIs where needed.

Roque from MJ Electric contacted me to set up an appointment and get an idea of what needed to be done. I had purchased 2 hours of electrician work for $79. I had a list of five things that needed to be done. There were several things my home inspector noted that were unsafe, While Roque was in the attic working on one open junction, he found 2 others that the inspector didn't mention, and he fixed those as well. He gave me an estimate on the replacement of my breaker panels, fixed a bedroom outlet that had been wired wrong and was not working. He also checked my light fixture boxes to see if they would support fans, and verified that there was electrical run to the dining room where there is no fixture yet. He also repaired the GFI circuit to the pool light which was wired wrong and was dangerous. At this point we ran out of time, but agreed to over an hour to replace the pool filter timer and close up the pool light circuit, making it safe. We agreed he would come back after I obtained a new pool light to install the new light and run new wiring to the switch at that time. The wires were stripped inside the conduit, and the boxes at the pool switch were Gerry-rigged in an unsafe way. Since I was getting a new light anyway, I decided to wait and get it done right all at once. Roque will be back next week for that. Roque was very professional, on time and clean and tidy. He was very knowledgeable about what he was doing, and it really does seem he loves his work, and he takes pride in what he does.I know I have some more electrical work that needs to be done over the next few months, and I have no doubt MJ Electric will be back.

The service went fine. We had no issues with scheduling and they were happy to come when we needed. I paid an additional fee to have them rewire a couple of outlets. They also upgraded some electrical work and we plan on using them again. The technician was very professional and completed the job in the time he said he would it take. The pricing was reasonable and he completed job as promised.
