The McCutcheons were prompt (arriving 20 minutes early), professional and efficient. They went the extra mile by searching for switches and switch plates to meet our specifications, including a last-minute change we requested. They were, in addition, friendly and likable people whom we enjoyed having in our home. Their expressed philosophy is to give good value for the money they charge, and for us they certainly delivered that. Everything they did looks great and works perfectly. We cannot recommend the McCutcheons too highly. They are good and skillful people. Hire them.
Description of Work: George McCutcheon, The Electrician, diagnosed the cause of flickering lights in the upstairs rooms of our 43-year old house, and installed a new circuit breaker to resolve the problem ($89) on 11/1/2010. He worked quickly and efficiently. On 11/4/2010 he, assisted by his wife Linda, installed four ceiling can lights in our family room, with new switches and dimmers to control them, and they replaced the switches controlling two wall outlets. All necessary ceiling and wallboard repairs were done perfectly, the results being undetectable. ($750.00)

As above - basically we had lost power to a small area in our master bedroom as well as 2 lights were not getting power. My husband knew it had to be one of two issues but he was not the expert as well as he just had ankle surgery. The Electrian came when he said he was 5-10 min early, but went right to work diagnosed the issue , climbed all around our attic to make sure then grounded a loose wire and replace 2 lights. He cleaned up explained all that he did then was done.
Description of Work: We were having electrical issues which we could not diagnose or fix. I asked if he gave free estaminets and his comment was yes but usually if the job is not too big he could do it inexpensively and right then. He had to climb up in our attic and move around alot and was able to fix what was wrong as well as replace a few lights that we had issues with. For the price he was very fair for all the work he did.

We recently bought our first home, and there were several fire hazards that needed to be addressed. In the garage, there were two separate faulty wiring issues. In the dining room, there was a faulty plug. We asked George to give us an estimate before scheduling the work. He quoted $75 for each item, which is a good price. While there for the estimate, George also pointed out another safety issue - we needed GFI's in our kitchen and bathrooms. GFI's (Ground Fault Interrupters) are designed to protect from electrical shock by interrupting a household circuit when there is a difference in the currents in the "hot" and neutral wires. George quoted $50 for each GFI. This is a little on the high end, but still within range of what's normal. I want to add that I come from a family of Electricians, all of whom live thousands of miles away. I went over George's estimate & his qualifications with my brother who confirmed George's pricing and solutions as reasonable. We scheduled the work for August 10th. George showed up on time and was very professional. We went over everything before he started, then again after he was finished. We are very happy with the results, and grateful to George for pointing out the issue with the GFI's. As it turned out, one of the bathroom plugs was in worse shape than dining room plug. The bathroom plug actually worked, but the part of it that was inside (and exposed to a live circuit) was half broken off. We plug our toothbrushes into this plug, we could have been electrocuted, and we wouldn't have even known about it if George didn't change it out for a GFI. We are very pleased with the work George has done, and will not hesitate to use him again in the future or recommend him to friends. We are new homeowners, and the best lesson we've learned so far is that designer changes can wait, but don't skimp or hesitate on safety related issues. That piece of mind is really priceless.
Description of Work: Faulty wiring in the garage, and a dead plug in the dining room with a live circuit constituted several fire hazards that needed to be addressed. We also added six GFI's to the workload, and an estimate for future work to replace a small light in the garage with a 4ft. fluorescent lamp.

George arrived on time, we reviewed my list, he told me specifically how he would complete the repairs, gave me an estimate, and went to work. He clearly has a great deal of experience, 40 years actually, and is very professional, does good solid work and does NOT cut corners. I am having him back next week to do more work, and most likely will have another job for him shortly after that. 5 stars!
Description of Work: Ran cable under house for TV cable service and repaired and replaced a good number (maybe 12) of lawn accent lights/Malibu lighting that a previous owner of the home had made a mess of.

I had many little jobs that had been in need of repair and/or change for a long time. I had a hall light that didn't work, my son's light and fan wasn't working anymore from the wall switch (you had to pull the cord), the garage lights (fluorescent) were either not working or not working well, and my fluorescent lights in the kitchen had stopped working and I wanted to change them to recessed lighting on a dimmer. I had in the kitchen, also, track lighting over the sink that you had to switch on and off with an extension cord in the cabinet (the work of the previous owners). The halogen light over my bathroom sink kept getting brighter and going off. George came on a Tuesday and did some of the work that day. He came back within two days, after he got the rest of the materials, and finished the job. I found George to be friendly, professional and he had a good sense of humor. He was very punctual and professional. He traveled a little farther than I think he normally does to do the job, which I appreciated. The second day he came, he was assisted by a very lovely and friendly woman, Linda. The recessed lighting works well, as does everything else, and he gave me a referral for someone to finish the light box (trim and painting) where the fluorescent lights used to be. He even removed a broken bulb and replaced it for us in another fixture. His prices seemed fair, I asked for the Angie's List discount and he gave it to me, and he gave us a little break on the can lights. He seemed easy to contact. I would definitely call him again for any electrical problems.
Description of Work: Installed 2 3-way switches in hallway, installed tubes in garage, installed bulb in bathroom that hadn't been working, installed 6 can lights in kitchen, installed kitchen dimmer.

George arrived on time and got to work determining the best way to do the installation. He explained to me the way he thought best to install the switch and outlet for my intended use. He finished all of the work after several hours and tested everything. George was friendly and did a great job. I would definitely use him again.

George was punctual. He came back to work on Saturday when he could not finish all work on the same day (and there was a lot to do). I did not shop around for prices but I am satisfied with the price I paid to George. he did the work as promised and cleaned up behind him. Both him and his wife were courteous and personable.

I called and got an appt. for a few days later at 9AM The day before received a phone call from George asking if he could change it to later in the day because one of his clients did not have power, and he needed it fixed immediately since he was going out of town. I agreed to have him come later even though I had to reschedule my entire day. While part of me thinks his other client put pressure on him to be there immediately (since if you don't have power, you usually call the power company), I agreed to change my day around and work with him (and his other client). He arrived on time, and in a few hours completed the work to my satisfaction. His price was right on and he made sure he cleaned up his mess. Given I was paying our previous electrician a crazy amount of money just to do simple jobs (he was the guy who wired our house when it was built) I feel like George does a very good job for a fair price. I would certainly use him again.

We were very pleased and satisfied with the professional work that was done by The Electrician. George and Linda were very professional, personable and went over and above what we asked for. On the electrical panel box, George placed a wooden frame around it, which, by the way, looks great. He also noticed that our ceiling fans were not installed correctly, which he remounted. Let there be Light, now we have one in our attic. We would recommend The Electrician to any new homeowner, like us, who needs any type of electrical work. You will be very satisfied as we were.
