His electricians, Tim and Tom arrived on time. They were very professional, friendly and they were able to work skillfully around the dog, the cat and my 21 month old grandson. They protected the walls, furniture and flooring while doing the work and thoroughly cleaned up when they finished. I couldn't be more delighted. The finished product is amazing and I would definitely hire this company for any electrical work in the future.
Description of Work: I wanted to have a flat screen TV mounted on the wall and install recessed lighting in the family room. I contacted and met with several contractors to solicit their ideas for the project and obtain a cost estimate for the work. Steve promptly responded to my inquiries and had some great ideas. He suggested that I meet him at a lighting store to look at the different recessed lighting options and select the fixtures. This was a great suggestion and I am glad I met him at the store. After discussing this with my family, the scope of work changed and Steve happily met me at my home again and revised the cost estimate. His pricing was very competitive and the work was scheduled.

He gave me a four hour window, and I took off work and waited. One hour after the cutoff time, I called Steve to find out what was going on and he didn't seem to remember our appointment. He finally called back and told me a technician would be there in about 30 minutes. I had to go to work, but left my 19-year-old son there. When I came home that evening, there was no wall switch, but instead, an ugly-looking fabric type cord. Not what I expected at all.
Description of Work: I spoke with Steve ahead of time, and told him the chain had broken on my ceiling fan twice, and that I wanted it replaced. He told me the better idea was to install a wall switch so that wouldn't happen again, which I thought was a great idea.

Our experience with Steve Cavenee was excellent, we will use them again if we have any additional electrical work we need done. Steve came on time to give us an estimate. When we scheduled the work, workers arrived promptly and were able to complete the job in less time than originally quoted. When we moved into our newly renovated house, we immediately realized that we did not have the proper hook-up for our electric dryer in the garage (our fault, not our GC who did the renovation). The estimate we received from Steve when he first came out was much lower than other estimates (including from our GC who did the renovation in the first place). During the work, they discovered that our brand new electrical panel was not wired with a future (as code requires), so they had to run the wiring through our guest room and break a hole in the wall. They then repaired the drywall, and even textured the wall to match. Again, all of this unexpected work was done in less time than originally quoted when we thought this job would be much easier.
Description of Work: Run a 220 outlet to the garage from our electrical panel.

Steve Cavenee Electric installed two new electrical outlets, two automatic timer switches and one new outdoor flood light. Work was performed quickly and professionally. Flood light required a small fish hole which was patched by the crew. Per the agreement the crew was responsible for patching and we would be responsible for painting. We will certainly use Steve for future projects.

It went well. I had some questions on the bill and he was very easy to work with to resolve my issues. Because I work long hours it was hard to find time to get together but he did not pay me to pay the disputed amount.

Bought Steve's services on a Angie's List Coupon. His office called right away to determine what the problem was. Then Steve and I played Phone tag for several days. Since he didn't have other jobs in my area he was reluctant to set an appointment for a crew, so we kept calling back and forth for a couple of weeks. Finally he personally came by and fixed the problem in 5 minutes.
Description of Work: Had a electrical lighting problem with a 3 way switch. He check one outlet and found that the common and travel wires had been switched. He corrected the problem.

Scheduled the service based on a "big deal" on AL. Scheduling went great, came out very quickly, arrived right on time. The 2 man team split up, one installing the fan in our extra bedroom, the other repairing the existing fan in my son's bedroom. The man repairing the fan, actually thought outside of the box and had a great idea to just rewire the existing remote instead of doing a full new remote install which was great. The fan was fixed, the other one installed and all went fine. Of note, there was a bit of a discrepancy with the billing that I was provided. However, Steve called me himself and we sorted it all out promptly. He was very accommodating and courteous. I think that necessitates mentioning as many service providers would not have reacted so well to a customer pointing out a conflict on the bill. I would definitely use them in the future for other work.

Purchased 9-11. First available 9-25. they called to cancel 9-25am. Rescheduled for 10-2 11a to 1p window. When discussed with Steve he asked if I'd like them to call b4 they came. I declined stating "i'll assume they'll be here between 11 and 1." Received call from outside area code 10-2 at 9:39a which I did not pick up. It was their tech, left no msg. No show between 11 and 1. Not comfortable with a 'third time's a charm' scenario.

The job was very simple - he attached new cable (supplied by me) to the old cable and pulled it through. No problems. They postponed the appointment several times probably because it was not a full price project.

They did excellent. I actually had another electrical company out and they told me that I would need an all new fan and light fixture, but they were wrong. I purchased the new fan and when the tech from Steve Cavanee came out he let me know all I needed was a new remote control, not a fan, much cheaper! The technician replaced the remote control for a fan and did other miscellaneous work for me. They were able to reset my motion lights outside also. They were very fair and knowledgeable. I will be having them back for more work. They also solved the problem with a sparking electrical outlet.
Description of Work: This is a big deal purchase for electrical labor.

We’re still working out the bill. Some of the stuff was supposed to go to the owner and the rest of it goes to me. I thought they were fine. The guys were very careful in putting everything in. They protected the floor. I think they took a little longer getting the invoice to me. They sent one big bill to the management company so I‘m having to recalculate all that.
