The electrician was excellent in every aspect. He was very professionally dressed, neat, clean, courteous, and quick. He was very respectful, professional and didn’t waste any time. He fixed the problem. I also asked him to change some wall outlets to dimming outlets, which he did. Overall, I was very happy with their services. I would highly recommend him to others, and if I have any other electrical problems, I will call them.

Mr. Sconce and his work partner performed work of excellent quality. I also appreciate his friendliness, as well as his patience in explaining things to me. I hope that when I need his services in the future, he will still be available. I interviewed several other electricians before choosing Mr. Sconce, and I'm glad I chose him. I definitely recommend him to anyone needing any kind of electrical work.

They were highly rated on Angie's List. They were very professional and very fast in response. I had called out three people to give me bids and they had quoted $2100 for the work. I didn't go with them and used somebody else but they were good. They had really good mannerisms and they were very experienced. The man they sent out was a little more friendly than the other guys and it is just easier to get along with a friendlier person.
Description of Work: Sconce Electric came out and gave me an estimate for some electrical work. I had them come out first to give me an estimate on having a bunch of security lights put up outside. I also wanted them to take down a neon light fixture that was recessed into my kitchen ceiling and to put in spot lights. I also wanted to have a couple of hanging pen lights put in over the counter in my bar area.

Had a problem with our kitchen lights we thought were broken. Greg came over the same morning I called and found the problem was human error on our part and solved the issue for us free of charge. He also provided some useful advice on another electrical issue with our attic lights. I will definitely use him for any electrical work in the future.

Greg has done two jobs for me in the past year and I have been completely satisfied both times. During my house remodel, Greg provided excellent advice and guided me through the process of selecting the fixtures. I decided to have Greg do a few extra things and he incorporated them seamlessly. He was very flexible with my schedule as well as coordinating with others who were working in my home at the same time. He is very knowledge, professional and pleasant to work with. His customer service is excellent - reliable and responsive - delivering what he promises on time. His estimates were the most reasonable I received. I absolutely recommend Greg. One of the best experiences I have had with home-related services.
Description of Work: Two jobs in past year. The first was replacing all lights and outlets and switches in my house during a remodel as well as wall-mounting my TV and installing a ceiling fan. The second job was to replace an exterior light on my house.

We used Sconce Electric in June of last year. We were very happy with Greg, the owner, his performance and professionalism. We had a power surge last week during a storm and some appliances and plugs were not working. We called him on Sunday afternoon and he was at our house early on Monday morning. He checked everything out, fixed some circuit breakers that were tripped, and got things to work while we take care of the electronic equipment. He refused payment and said to call him back when we are ready for the next step. He saved us money and especially a lo of time and frustration. We were extremely happy with him again and would not even consider calling anyone but Sconce Electric to take care of our house. We recommended him heartily to all our neighbors and we recommend him to all of you too! Well done, Greg! Thank you very much

I called Gary and had him come to my house to give me an estimate. He was on time, friendly, and professional. He and his coworker took a look at what I wanted to install and gave me an estimate. It was BY FAR the best estimate I received. PLUS, he had a coworker install them on the spot. The entire job took 2 hours to add three pendent lights to my ceiling. Sconce Electric did NOT make any extra holes....just the ones needed for the pendants. No extra drywall work!!!!! This alone made me extremely happy. They took precautions to ensure that my floors and kitchen island were properly covered so dust would not get anywhere. They cleaned up afterwards. They even gave me the bulbs for my pendants (I didn't have extra.) I was extremely pleased and am now telling everyone about my positive experience. Thank you Sconce!!!
Description of Work: Installation of three pendant lights over my kitchen island. It was a more complex job because I have a two story (no attic to crawl in) PLUS I have an open floor plan where the kitchen flows out to the rest of the house--there is no transition, therefore any work done to the kitchen ceiling that might require a dry wall repair would definitely necessitate a repaint of my entire downstairs ceilings to make everything match. I was really worried that the job would require extra drywall to be removed.

These guys were great to work with. They were professional, friendly, and fast! I had a ballast that needed to be replaced because my Seagull circline lights were not working. He easily could have charged me more by going through his own vendors, but was honest and told me I could probably get it cheaper online. This way, I would save on parts, and only pay for labor. They arrived an hour earlier than the scheduled time and fixed my light fixture within 30 minutes. I will definitely work with Sconce again in the future.

We had minor repair work to be done on our fixer upper and some wiring that needed to be replaced in the shop. Greg was punctual and professional. He did what he said he would, when he said he would do it at a fair price. He handled last minute requests the same way. We will be using Sconce for all our electrical needs.

I called Greg in the morning. He said he would get back to me and he had one of his workers call me back within 90 minutes. He came right after lunch and had everything fixed within 30 minutes. I am very satisfied with his work and professionalism.
Description of Work: The kitchen plug with a circuit breaker (GFCI) malfunctioned by continually cutting off and sparking inside the plug. It had to be replaced, because It controlled three other plugs, including the one for the refrigerator. Once it was changed, everything worked the way it did before the problem began.

( called Sconce Electric on the morning of 12/5 because we were having trouble with one of our smoke alarms. (For some reason it was alarming--not just chirping--when we were in the shower.) Concerned that there was a short somewhere in our wiring, I wanted the problem checked out as soon as possible. Sconce Electric managed to fit us in that SAME day. They checked the smoke alarms and bathroom wiring and concluded that that the alarms right outside the bathroom were probably sounding because of the steam/heat from the shower. So they reversed two of the smoke alarms, advised us simply to keep the bathroom door completely shut while showering, and calmed my concerns about a possible short. While they were here, I also asked them about a light switch that has occasionally not worked, and about a light bulb that was stuck so tight in its socket that I could not get it out. They removed the light bulb and explained the problem with the light switch.As they were leaving, I went to get my checkbook, and Greg told me there would be no charge. When I tried to insist that they were owed something for their time, he said that our house was on their way from another job and that the problems hadn't taken them long enough to charge me. (3 men were here for about 20-30 minutes.) I was VERY pleased with the professionalism and with the care Greg took to answer my questions. I would DEFINITELY recommend Sconce Electric. We'll be calling them again if the need arises.

Excellent. Greg is very friendly, frank, punctual; seems honest and experienced. was able to come in early evening for estimate. his estimate was less $ than 2 other estimates i had gotten for same (or less) work to be done; i didn't feel like i was being upsold or deceived in discussing the project with him. he was receptive to small add-on projects on the day of work, he had 2 assistants, both also seemed friendly and experienced. work was finished in one day, ahead of schedule. placement of lighting was confirmed with me prior to cutting. great clean-up at each site of work in the house. the lighting is perfect, just what we wanted; also great result to small addon projects. looking forward to using Sconce Electric for our next electrical project

We interviewed a lot of electrical contractors to replace the knob-and-tube wiring in our older home. After reviewing the various quotes, we chose Sconce Electric because he gave us the best bang for the buck, and he really knew what he was doing. When the job was scheduled, he always showed up on time and put in a full day's work. He and his crew were extremely hard-working, knowledgeable, experienced, and CLEAN. They upgraded our service panel, removed old exterior conduits and consolidated the wiring to fewer new conduits, put in new outlets, upgraded old ones, upgraded all of our light switches and wiring, installed new lighting in various places, installed a new ceiling fan, a new whole house fan, moved our electrical service to our detached garage to beneath the ground (previously it was a bare overhead wire), upgraded and installed new lighting and outlets in the garage, and a new service mast for the main electrical service. He cleaned up before leaving every night, and left us fully powered each evening so we were able to live in the house while he did the work. He and his crew removed all of the old wiring both in the attic and in the crawl space under the house, and ran new wiring in its place. This was a big home job - it took 6 days - but Greg made it look easy. Greg was extremely professional, friendly and easy to work with. We can't emphasize enough how pleased we are with his work. We feel we couldn't have made a better choice. We wish all contractors were as high quality as Greg Sconce and his crew.
Description of Work: Replaced old knob-and-tube wiring; upgraded our electrical service, and brought our older home up to code as the first step in additional home improvement projects. Added new lighting, new outlets, and re-routed the electrical service to our detached garage.

My experience with Sconce Electric was very satisfactory. Greg listened to what I needed and communicated what he thought was best for the situation and what it would cost. He explained everything very well and I felt very good about what he recommended. He did the work in a timely manner and was professional during the entire time he was at my home. I will be using him again next week to install outside lights I need.
Description of Work: Greg Sconce installed an electrical box on the outside of my house which has since been used to install a gas insert in my fireplace.
