They knew what they were doing and they were kind and professional. After they installed the new ceiling fan they showed me how to use the remote for the fan. They said they would be at my home between 2:00pm and 4:00pm. They called before they arrived to let me know that they would actually be able to come a little earlier around 1:00pm. After they finished they cleaned up all the debris and disposed of it before leaving.
Description of Work: They installed a new door bell, ceiling fan with a remote, and a light on my stairway.

Excellent. Danny and Jared were super professional and got a difficult job done well and immaculately. They were incredibly well trained as electricians and communicated with me every step of the way so I could have exactly what I wanted. I am very impressed and would hire them again if and when the need for electrical work arises.

Exceptional work! I've used Armes on two separate projects and the work is A+ exceptional. The first crew was Marcus and Aaron (in June 2017) and the second crew was Dan and Aaron in July 2017). These guys are true professionals. The prep and cleanup was great and the creative solutions to some challenging wiring situations in my historic home were beyond my expections. The attention to detail and clean work is really appreciated. Armes is the only company that I'll be using for my electrical work. i know this is a ridiculously glowing review but it's 100% deserved. Thanks for the great service!

We received a prompt callback to our initial inquiry and were given an accurate estimate over the phone, along with an explanation of possible complications that might arise. We were given a date and approximate time of service, and on that day we received a phone call giving us a more specific time of arrival. When they arrived, Marcus and Mondo were friendly, polite and professional. They explained how they would complete the job and then did so in a timely and efficient manner. They took care to protect the surrounding area with plastic sheeting and cleaned up thoroughly when they were done. We were completely satisfied with the service and the price and would definitely recommend this company.
Description of Work: We needed to have 2 electrical boxes moved to accommodate new light fixtures in our bathrooms.

Jason and Justin were beyond professional and very skilled. They were courteous, explained the work to be done, and left my home in the same order they found it. Two other workers came to help mid-day, and I wouldn't give them very high marks in the "professional conduct" category (non-stop talking and banter about people and stories), but their work was great. Highly recommend this company and suggest you request Jason and Justin.

As a first time homeowner, it is tough to trust people to take care of work you want done in your home. When I rented, the company took are of it. Now that I own, it's a different ball game. The condo I purchased came with two canned recessed lights in the living room off to the side, but nothing in the two bedrooms. I contacted Armes Electric & left my information with Brian. The following day, Pete, the owner gave me a call & we setup a day to meet up for a walk through. From the beginning, I could tell Pete liked what he did, knew what it involves, and was a stand up guy. He isn't just a salesman, he's legit in his word and talks like a normal human being. I asked for his opinion on how many lights would be a good fit for my living room with vaulted ceilings and he told me 4 was plenty (I had previously been quoted by another company that wanted to install 6). Same went with the bedrooms. We chit chatted some more since one of the biggest things I wanted to get locked down was painting afterwords and lighting plays a big role. I asked between the kelvin's and he gave his honest opinion that 3K was a good natural white without the yellow tinge that a 2700K would give. If I wanted to go up, he said he could offer it for me to test which I found very helpful. We even swapped painter information because he said he recently had repainted his home gray and told me his story about it. He also recommended that I could go with tilted drivers to angle the light a bit better, but also said truthfully that my vaulted ceilings weren't that bad of an angle that I would need it. Again, he offered to install both if I wanted to try them out. Once he left, I knew that I would like to do business with him. I got the quote, liked the price, and luckily today someone canceled so his team (Jason & Aaron) came over and within 5 hours they were in and out installing a total of 12 recessed lighting, removing the two old ones, installing dimmer switches, and also moving down a electrical outlet in one of the rooms for me. They do not do dry wall, so for anyone looking to get any electrical done, get ready to get a painter or another contractor to do the work.
Description of Work: I got old recessed lighting removed and new recessed lighting with dimmer switches installed in my living room and two bedrooms.

Well, I don't want to sound like a broken record, however, I had the same great experience as all the other reviewers. Both Spencer & Jarred, the two technicians who were assigned my job, were very professional in all aspects of their service while they were here, polite, efficient and clean. They were here for three hours and accomplished everything I had on my list. I figure that the charges were fair or better than what I would have paid a one man crew. They were definitely more efficient & professional than a single man crew. Over all, from the office staff to the technicians assigned to my job, I was very pleased with my first experience with Armes Electrical and will definitely use them again and surely recommend then when I can.
Description of Work: I had three different outlets which were bad and needed replacing along with a wall switch which was defective. Also, a can light in the kitchen had a defective transformer and needed to be replaced. While they were here, and since they had to work with the circuit breakers, I asked them to do a quick evaluation of our main panel, which I've never had done. I'm glad I did because they found one of the breakers was defective and needed to be replaced.

He gave me quote, made sure to tell me they use very good quality products, which is important to us in our home. (cause if you buy cheap, you pay twice, right?) anywho.. I got an appt for next day, with 2 hour window! The two electricians got here earlier! they made sure to call me 30 min. prior. awesome. Very professional, nice, cleaned after themselves. very happy with our really nice, super quiet exhaust fan/light. great job guys! definitely calling Armes for our future electrical needs !

Jonathan and Steven arrived earlier than scheduled appointment. They ran into some problems replacing existing ceiling fans. They corrected the associated problems. (ceiling fans were not mounted properly, some of the wiring was incorrect going to switch) It took them approximately 3 1/2 hours to complete all the work.
We are very proud of all of our electricians. They are very knowledgable and have a great ability in solving any problems they may encounter while performing their job. It's great to hear you had such a positive experience with our electricians and their services. Thank you!! -Pete Armes

Called Armes to have them look at existing under-cabinet lighting that was no longer working. After discussion, decided to replace the lighting. What Armes provided looks better than the original, brighter. They did a nice job for us.

I called and spoke with the owner Pete, after my previously reliable electrician declined my last two jobs based on being "too busy" to come out and quote the job. Pete came out an hour after I called, and scheduled his guys to come the next morning first thing. I had just gotten the keys to my new home and needed this work completed ASAP. I was thrilled with the two man crew they sent out, who gave suggestions for lighting placement based on how my furniture and TV were going to be placed in the room. They worked fast and cleaned up at the end of the job like they were never even there. I have found my new electrician, A+ work!
Description of Work: Removed 8 old recessed lights, replaced with 4 new dimmable LED recessed can lights. Removed multiple unused electrical outlets, closed off junction box. Wired for new electrical outlets in my preferred locations.

I called Armes on Friday around noon because one of our circuit breakers had tripped and I couldn't reset it. I had had a similar problem a few weeks ago when another contractor was working here, and while he finally got it to work he said I probably needed a new breaker box. I explained all this to Armes on the phone; I was told that I probably didn't need a new box, but they'd have to check it out. He said he'd try to get someone out that afternoon, but all his guys were out on jobs, so it might not be possible. I got a call the next morning (Saturday) from an Armes technician asking if I still had a problem and if he could come over in a few minutes. He replaced the breaker that had given me trouble before, but didn't have the 20 amp breaker required for the most recent problem, so he called his office. In a little while another guy from Armes came out, and working together they were actually able to reset the breaker. They explained how to do it with this brand (a very old brand), and offered to replace it if I wanted - but since the breaker would cost another $100, and since I very rarely trip the breakers, I opted to pass on the replacement at this time.
Description of Work: Replaced a bad circuit breaker and fixed another one.

Jonathan and Mondo arrived on time. I had told them the wrong height of my ceiling when I made the appointment so one of them stayed and got started on the light switches and sockets while the other had to go get a different truck with a longer ladder. They were not upset or did not ask to reschedule the job, extremely pleasant to deal with. They were extremely careful to lay pads down on all of my wood floors and did a thorough clean-up when finished the job. Everything went very smoothly and I couldn't be more pleased.
Description of Work: Installed a chandelier in my entry hall, replaced my porch light, and replaced 4 light switches with dimmer switches, and replaced 7 wall sockets.
