Frank came on time and was helpful, gracious and most important - honest! He spent extra hours because our 50-year old wiring was inefficient and complex - at no extra charge. I also asked him to bid on another electrical project and he said the work didn't need to be done! Great craftsmanship and a good guy - both are hard to find nowadays. I'm sticking with Lighthouse Electric.
Description of Work: Frank did a masterful job of installing exterior security lights along our long condo wall. The nearest power source in our 50-year old building was inside a large garage, so Frank carefully ran wires (inside a conduit) from the source to the the garage ceiling to a storage area, to a crawl space and then outside. Frank also replaced a large motion detector light fixture and repaired a large florescent light fixture - both in the garage. I especially appreciated his obvious balance of functionality with aesthetics. The placement & choices of lights, wires and photo cells all displayed his attention to detail and pride of craft.

This is our fifth time using Frank and I can say he is the single best referral we have got from Angies' List. Besides being an great electrician, Frank has really become part of our family. My kids always learn something new from him and he treats everyone with respect. Frank reminds me of the craftsman that I remember meeting when I was a kid in the Valley in the 1970's where it was more about doing a good job than making a fast buck. If you are looking for an electrician who cares, is committed to detail, and does the right thing, then Frank is your guy.
Description of Work: We recently painted our house. Before painting, we called Frank and had him Install 14 downlights with trim, re-wire 2 switches, install 2 hard wired smoke detectors in our kid's room, install a florescent fixture in our garage and add one surface mounted light fixture in a den. Frank also replaced all of the light bulbs and helped move a telephone line for us and clean up some loose cables.

Frank is reliable, knowledgable, trustworthy and professional. He'll do what you ask him to or he'll tell you what should be done, which is usually how you should go.
Description of Work: Have hired Frank to perform tasks large and small throughout the years. From adding a smoke detector in a very tricky apartment, to whole building wiring.

Frank was able to come by on short notice to fix an electrical issue involving some non-functional outlets in a rental property. He was punctual, professional, and a really nice guy to deal with. It was a small job, but he seemed happy to be able to help, which made me happy, too. He was very thorough and knowledgeable, and the price couldn't be beat. I would not hesitate to hire him again. Anybody know a good electrician? Finally, I do!

We have been using Frank for over 5 years and he has become the single best referral we have got from Angie's List. Over the years, he has installed lights, upgraded wiring, installed ceiling fans and replaced outlets. No job is too large or too small for Frank. I actually think Frank undercharges us for the time he spends at our house but he insists on doing the right thing and claims his bills are accurate. In addition to his expert electrical knowledge, he is an all-around nice guy who has taken time to explain electrical circuitry to my inquisitive children as well show them his truck that have every conceivable electric part known to man on it. Frank is a true gem.

Frank was great to work with. He was personable, extremely punctual, let me know what was happening every step of the way. Before he did the work, he went over all of the possible options and offered ways to save me money. The work was completed in a professional manner, and he cleaned up and put everything back in it's place even after I told him that I could take care of some of it! He even moved my trashcan out to the curb! His price was very competitive with the other quotes that I received. Just a great experience. Makes me have renewed confidence that there are good contractors out there.

Frank is just a consummate professional. He provides written bids, unlike a lot of contractors (though he bids by the job and doesn't break out materials, but has told me when I've asked.) He shows up on time, is polite and funny, doesn't go in any part of your house that he doesn't explicitly need to (or go indoors at all if he can walk around outside), and charges exactly what he's said he would. For most of this work, I hadn't yet moved in, and Frank was clear that I should have him in before other contractors so that any damage to the walls could be erased by subsequent trades. I stopped by a few times a day and found him simultaneously hard at work and getting along well with other contractors he'd never met. He's performed multiple, individual jobs since I moved in. He did have a radio on when no one was living here, but during the time I've been in my home office, has never brought one out. The guy's work is impeccable; incredibly neat and easy to follow, which I think is important when you're talking about wiring. I'd definitely use him again and in fact, am having him gradually upgrade and add other lighting as I can afford it.
Description of Work: This is the 3rd time Frank has handled the electrical on a house for me. The first was about 8 years ago, when he completely re-did 2 bathrooms when I remodelled a condo. The second was 5 years ago, when he significantly upgraded the electrical at a rental house to which I had moved (at my expense, since the landlord wouldn't pay for it -- that's how much I wanted Frank to do it.) The 3rd is at the 1940s-era house I bought 6 months ago, where he replaced every electrical outlet & a difficult-to-hang ceiling fan, added lighting in my home office, & installed a great deal of exterior lighting, among other tasks.

Showed up a little early even. Nice. Promptly tracked down what the problem was with our electrical outage for part of the house. Very good communication. Frank was thorough and straight forward. Got all that fixed up, then installed a new outlet for our outdoor lighting. After a quick discussion, he got it all hooked up very fast.
Description of Work: Ran down electrical issues in our old house. Fixed what needed fixing keeping in mind our wishes to keep costs down as we will be selling soon. Also installed new wall socket for outdoor lighting.

They were a little slow calling me back, but were able to come out to the site right away. They explained the benefits of upgrading the panel considering I was in process of doing an addition, and might want something extra (like jacuzzi) in future. They were very helpful. I would have hired them except I had a contractor onsite that was making it difficult to proceed. I was able to use the estimates I got to get reasonable terms from the contractor doing my addition.

We have an original doorbell from the 1920's. It has not worked for us, or for the previous owner of our house. I have had two electricians who were at my house previously look at it and both were unable to fix it. Frank gave me an estimate over the phone and we setup an appointment. He showed up on-time and was quickly able to do what nobody else could and fix the doorbell. He then helped with some additional items, including fixing a light that the same two electricians couldn't fix, and giving advice on a external lighting installation. He charged the originally quoted price, even though he did additional work. He did a great job and we will definitely use him again.
Description of Work: Fixed our doorbell and fixed a light that was not operating.

Frank was great at communicating; he always called back promptly, which is important to me. At our first meeting, he was very thorough in checking out what needed to be done and didn't try to upsell me on anything I didn't need (Frank is very big at NOT upselling needlessly!). Frank's price quote was pretty much in line with what I'd been quoted by other independant contractors, as well as box chains (for installation of the ceiling fans) and even a bit lower than a couple of the electricians I found in the yellow pages. He seems like he's been doing this for a long time and is very knowledgeable about electrical work. One caveat though: Frank is experienced but not a lighting designer. If you have a very complicated lighting project you may want to get guidance from a professional. Frank is there to just do it the way you want it, not necessarily to advise on style, although his opinion on what looks good is definitely worth listening to in a simple job like mine. It took me quite some time (a couple of months) to be ready to move forward with the work, but Frank was able to show up with almost no notice and did a great job. I love the way the new lighting looks and couldn't be more pleased. Frank even called me back right away to help solve a small problem I had with one of the ceiling fans (which was not his fault, there was a product defect). I would definitely hire Frank again.
Description of Work: Installed new recessed lighting and installed a new split dimmer switch in the living room, and two new ceiling fans in the bedroom.

The day after I left a message on voicemail, I got a call back from Frank Masciale at Lighthouse Electric. My purpose in contacting him was to have our electrical system in our home evaluated and diagnosed because we had a power failure (before the heat wave). In addition, we have several electrical outlets in our home that don't work. We also wanted to discuss putting in a generator. Frank started off telling me what he couldn't do. He couldn't fix anything until there was a problem. I was unable to get a word in because he continued to talk about what he couldn't do. I would not have called him if I didn't have a problem. I thanked him for calling and left it at that. What I came away with was that Frank is not a problem solver.

Exceptional service with high quality results. I am renting a house that needs some work- landlords live out of town, so for a reduced rent I am getting the work done. I called Frank at Lighthouse Electric- he returned my call promptly and we set up a time to meet. Called me before hand to confirm and was on time. He quickly determined the outlets were inoperable due to an open wire in a kitchen outlet. Got this fixed and operational. I also had a bad remote for the ceiling fan in my kids bedroom. Gave me a new remote and verified that it was working properly. He was friendly, courteous and will get a call from me again when electrical work is needed.
Description of Work: Fixed 6 outlets in dining room and kitchen that were not working. Replaced ceiling fan remote.
