Very satisfied. Sheldon and another guy came out on very short notice and worked very quickly to remedy some electrical idiosynchracies in our basement that we needed corrected ASAP to sell our house. They were very friendly and got to work right away and explained what they planned to do and how to do it. They did a great job in a very short period of time.
Description of Work: Changed some lighting to be dependent on lightswitches. Changed some outlets to not be dependent on light switches. Sheathing some electrical cables to comply with city code.

RYAN M. THE ELECTRICAL JOURNEYMAN THAT PERFORMED OUR WORK WAS NOT A GOOD COMMUNICATOR WHEN IT CAME TO EXPLAINING HOW EVERYTHING WAS TO BE CONNECTED AND WHAT WAS NEEDED TO GIVE US ADDED PROTECTION CONCERNING A GFI INTERRUPT CIRCUIT OR BREAKER. BECAUSE THE HEATED FLOOR WAS WITHIN 1 FOOT FOR BOTH OUR SINK AND DISHWASHER I UNDERSTOOD A GFI WAS REQUIRED FOR SAFETY. HE WAS IN COMMUNICATION WITH HIS OFFICE TO GET AN ADDITIONAL PART WHEN SOMEONE SAID IT WAS NOT NEEDED IN A KITCHEN. HE PERFORMED HIS WORK WITHOUT INSTALLING ONE AND WITHOUT CHECKING IF ALL 3 HEATED MATS WORKED. I HAD HIM COME BACK OUT THE NEXT DAY TO RECHECK HIS CONNECTIONS AND TO GET A GFI INSTALLED. HE SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL 180 DOLLARS TO HAVE THIS WORK PERFORMED. THE STATE INSPECTOR AGREED THAT A GFI SHOULD BE PUT IN. THE OFFICE MANAGER MIKE THAT I DEALT WITH WAS GREAT AT SCHEDULING AND GETTING THE INSPECTIONS SETUP. I HAD TO CONFIRM THAT TWO INSPECTIONS WERE NEEDED FOR THIS PROJECT. AGAIN RYAN DID NOT.

When I called and asked for an estimate the person was very friendly and quick to respond to get a person out to my house. The service with this company seemed to go down from there. The person estimating was 45 minutes late and when I called to check on him, they said they'd forgot. They said I would get the estimate the next day - two days later, I called and they had forgot. The installers were friendly but I am glad they are on a fixed bid, wouldn't call them fast workers. 4 hours after the rough in was complete I received 5 calls to my cell phone and 1 call to work where the accounting person badgered my colleague. I am happy to pay my bill and tried to pay the electrician when he arrived but he told me a bill would come after they were done. This is project is only to rough in and I can only hope my experience with finalizing won't be as frustrating.
Description of Work: I am installing a second story bathroom and needed electric. (lighting, outlets, fan and heater.) Additionally, needed them to look at my garage switch and dining room switch.

They came to give me a quote. After I got another quote from another company I asked Gres to basically match that other quote that I got, approx. $150.00 difference, they never called me back. I obviously went with the other company, Schmidt Electric, and was very satisfied.

Harry (the owner) visited the house to discuss options and to provide the quotation. We spoke with Harry a few times as questions arose and to evaluate suggestions made by other bidders. Tom and Chuck spent a full day at the house to complete the service upgrade. They were very professional and provided a tidy installation despite a cramped working space. At the end of the day, they thoroughly double-checked and identified every circuit in the house. Tom returned many weeks later to install the garage subpanel and again did a very neat job. Harry and all of his staff were easy to communicate with, arrived when scheduled, and did excellent work. We will certainly call them for future projects.
Description of Work: They upgraded our home electrical service from 100A to 200A with a new basement panel, new meter socket and connection to a new underground feed by Xcel. He trenched and buried the underground line to the garage and installed a new 60A subpanel.

Ryan and Chad, the electricians, showed up on time to do the job. After thorough inspection and probing, they suggested further modifications, due to the unforeseen construction behind the ceiling. However, they think the only possible way to do the job will make the room look poorly, which we totally agree. Therefore, we decided not to install the lighting. Ryan and Chad are professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. They have the owner's interest in mind.
Description of Work: We hired this company to install recess lighting in our family room. In addition, we want them to make several modifications to our switch locations. Harry Gres did an inspection of the place and gave many good suggestions to make the room look beautiful. He also gave us a competitive estimate.

VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE. I WAS IN A RUSH AND COULDN'T GET AN APPOINTMENT WITH THEM AS SOON AS I WANTED, BUT THEY PROMISED TO CALL IF THEY HAD AN OPENING AND THAT WORKED GREAT. ON TIME, KNOWLEDGEABLE, COURTEOUS, QUICK. PRICE INCLUDED ASSEMBLING THE FAN - WOULD HAVE BEEN LESS IF I HAD DONE THAT AHEAD OF TIME AND HAD THEM DO JUST THE ELECTRICAL WORK.

VERY QUICK RESPONSE. THEIR WORKMEN REALLY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT. EXPLAINED CLEARLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING BEFORE THEY WORK. I HAVE WORKED WITH HARRY BEFORE, MANY YEARS AGO, HIS STAFF WAS EXCEPTIONALLY HELPFUL AND CLEAR OF WHAT WAS GOING ON. RESPECTFUL OF AN OFFICE FULL OF STUFF THEY HAD TO WORK AROUND AND DID NOT MESS UP OR BREAK ANYTHING, CONSIDERING WHAT A DISASTER THE ROOM WAS! TOM EVEN CHECKED OUT MY WHIRLPOOL FOR ME. COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE PLEASANT AND HELPFUL CONCERNING A CONFUSING LIGHTING SYSTEM IN MY NEW OFFICE. DID NOT MAKE ME FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT WHO KNEW NOTHING, ETC. VERY, VERY RESPONSIVE PHONE OFFICE SERVICE TOO AND CHECKED TO SEE WHEN THE EXTRA PARTS CAME, WHEN WE COULD RE-SCHEDULE, ETC.. TERRIFIC GROUP.
Description of Work: THEY HAD TO REDO SOME WIRING FOR MY SMOKE DETECTORS ($275). GRES LATER CAME OUT TO MY RESCUE AND THEN DID A GREAT DEAL OF FOLLOW-UP WORK ON NEW FIXTURES FOR ME. I WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH AN ALARM SYSTEM AND ALL OF MY OUTLETS, LIGHTS ETC. WERE CHECKED OUT BY TOM, ON ONE OCCASION. THEN, I HAD GRES INSTALL TWO DIFFERENT SETS OF LIGHTING SYSTEMS IN MY BASEMENT, WHICH THEY DID QUICKLY ($1200).
