Fairway Electric

Description of Work: Once again, the owner-Paul--responded to my call and was able to instruct me on solving hr problem myself. He explained how to remove a cover on my thermostat--so that I could replace the batteries myself. Very quick telephone response--very professional and caring.

Description of Work: I scheduled the appointment, and when the appointment was supposed to happen, Fairway did not show. I called to ask what happened, and couldn't get a good explanation. So I cancelled the repair with this company and would like a refund. The only reason they didn't get an F is because he did email back stating he'd provide the hardware for the install for free as a way to make up the goof. But at that point I was so p***** (because I took off work to meet him, as this was a rental property of mine and I need to be present on behalf of owners) that I didn't want anything more to do with him. thanx.

Description of Work: Nothing since he did even call or email me back as he stated in his email of 5-29-13!

Description of Work: Paul was great. We called him with a minor problem that had turned into a major headache for us. He was at our house within a few hours and fixed the job quickly and expertly. He was so easy to work with and did great work. Will definitely use him again if I ever need to.

Description of Work: Gave a call once spoken to I was requested to send him an email. Wrote me back saying he got it, but never heard back from him. It has been over 48 hours and now, if he were to respond to me, it is too late. This is not a person I want to do business with.

Description of Work: They were punctual for the estimate - and providing the quote. But when it came time to secure the proper licensing & paper work for our HOA, it took too many days - and they turned down the job. Not much help.

Description of Work: First of all my first impression of Paul was friendly and comfortable which is very important when inviting someone you dont know in for the first time. I ran down the list of small jobs I needed him to do such as replacing bathroom light fixtures, fixing an electric fireplace, and accessing ceiling fans, doorbell, GFI's and panel. Paul was fantastic! As he was fixing things in the bathroom he would point out thing to look out for and let me know that he was only a phone call away. When I asked about upgrading features he suggested I saved my money until the feature broke and needed to be change which I thought was extremely honest and I really appreciate. I am so thankful for finding a trustworthy electrian. I feel like my father sent him down to me from the heaven above.

Description of Work: I phoned this contractor for my mother's town home. She had no electricity in 2 rooms plus electrical outlets. After my husband checked the breaker switch and looks for obvious problems we decided to call Paul Harris at Fairway Electric. He was very prompt in his response to my phone call. He sent a wonderful electrician to my mother's home the next day. Paul confirmed the time by e-mail and his assistant arrived on time he next day as promised. The electrician immediately found the problem and replaced a faulty wire. He went around and checked every outlet in the home to make sure there would be no further problems anywhere else. The entire job took an hour. My mother was delighted by the respect and professionalism showed by the electrician. She was also very pleased with the price that was quoted and the final invoice which was less than the original quote. I would recommend Fairway Electrician to anyone with any size project. I have been in the business of Interior Design for over 30 years and I plan to use Fairway Electric myself on my own home future remodels.

Description of Work: I cannot say how Wonderful Fairway is. They arrived earlier than they had promised - examined the problem and fixed it in less than half an hour. I had expected to have to replace the whole electric panel...but just had to replace two circuit breakers... You WON"T go wrong usuing this company.. It is a Great peace of mind to find a reputable and efficient electrical company

Description of Work: Paul replaced two major electrical boxes (one inside, one outside) at our home. It was a two day job and involved a lot of rewiring and electrical upgrades. It is very easy to communicate with Paul about what needs to be done. He prefers email, and now that I've worked with him this way, I do too. This is the fourth job Paul has done at our house, and he wanted a memory check on what our electrical boxes looked like. I sent him photos by email which was very efficient since the crew arrived with a very good idea of what needed to be done. I found Paul on Angie's list. I called him the first time because of an awful electrical smell in our den. He came very quickly, identified the problem as a malfunctioning floor fan, and didn't charge us for the visit. The second time, one of his crew came to investigate another electrical smell; this one turned out to be a burned out motor in our freezer. There wasn't anything they could do about that, but since they were at our house, they fixed a fluorescent bulb in a ceiling fixture that several other electricians couldn't fix. The third time, Paul came and installed an electrical line -- we were replacing a gas oven with an electrical oven. We got a very good price. Again, Paul asked for photos which made it possible for him to give me a reliable estimate even before coming to our house. I knew what to expect before he even arrived. I am delighted to have Paul as our electrician. His work is high quality, it is easy to communicate with him by email, and his pricing is very fair.

Description of Work: Fixed the wirng for a ceiling light that would not work. responsive, thorough.

Description of Work: I called Paul and he called me back immediately, literally as I was about to leave a message. He gave me excellent advice on how to fix the problem and overall he was extremely helpful with the whole situation.

Description of Work: Provided quote for ceiling fan installation, electrical and cable outlets. Quote was reasonable and his questions were very detailed.

Description of Work: Used them again, second time this week. A+.

Description of Work: Paul was in great communication via phone and email and even gave me a gps estimated time of arrival. A+ on communication. He went through the house checking outlets and offering sound advice and giving me options and prices for which direction I might like to go. Will be using Paul again very soon.

Description of Work: No services performed, just gave some really helpful tips over the phone that solved the problem.

Description of Work: Every job is a sales job and I would expect someone who is interested in my business to show up when they say they would show up and know the directions to where they are going. I had to reschedule the appointment a few times and finally when we had a set time, I got a call 40 minutes after he was scheduled to show up to ask me where I was located and that they were still 40 minutes away.

Description of Work: The lights and appliances did not work. I checked the circuit breaker, and replaced it myself and still couldn't get the lights to work. I called Fairway in the morning around 10:00 AM and e-mailed them, by 11:30 I received an e-mail response from them and called them. Tommie came out around 4:30 PM and got some of the lights working but said he would have to return in the morning. He was there before 7:30 AM and stared checking the light switches and electrical outlet boxes for a short. It appears that the last outlet he could have checked was the one with the short in it. He taped the wire that was causing the short and all of the outlets and switches were working again. Fairway did a nice job and I would call them again. JIm

Description of Work: Paul and his associate were fabulous. I called on a weekend and although I let Paul know it wasn't an emergency, he made an effort to come over on Saturday. He was very responsive. Before making the appointment, he gave me some ideas on how to get the electrical working, even though that would have meant he would lose a service call. I had also tried re-setting this GFI switch in my bathroom, but nothing happened. They were able to re-set it. I hadn't pushed hard enough and he felt bad that there really wasn't a repair, so he charged me less than his service call. When I wasn't sure if one of the bulbs was out in my bedroom and it's high up, they checked it and used one of their bulbs. Although, of course, I hope I don't have other electrical problems, I would call him right away.

Description of Work: I called Paul and spoke with him about replacing the lights in my kitchen. He asked me to send him a picture, which I promptly did. He told me he would respond to me within 24 hours. 3 days went by without a response. I called him to follow up... worried that the email did not go through. I left a message with my name and number. A week later, I have not been contacted. Very unprofessional.

Description of Work: Contacted Fairway Electric via the email option on Angies List. I received a prompt call back but wasn't able to set up an appointment to conduct an estimate until a few days later due to personal problems. I spoke with Paul on Monday (6/20) and arranged to have his associate Jaime visit my home on 6/22 between 7-8am to conduct an estimate. Unfortunately, we never heard from Jaime during the arranged time so I called Paul on his cell phone to cancel the estimate. Initial contact with Paul was great and professional, but due to the fact his associate did not show up or contact us in any way we will not be using this company.

Description of Work: Contacted company via email. Received prompt response. Set up appt for 5/11/11 between 8-8:30 a.m. At 8:45 a.m. on 5/11 I called company. Spoke w/Paul. He said he thought appointment was at 10:00. I said no. I reminded him I sent him a reminder email on 5/10/11 at 10:00 specifying the 8:00 a.m. start time. He then stated that he was wrong and he made a mistake and he could not get his worker to my house until 10:00 a.m. as his worker was in Studio City on a job. I said fine. I said it inconvenienced me as I had planned my day with respect to the fans on being done by 10:00 a.m. but fine. I needed the ceiling fans installed. 10:45. No phone call. I called the main number. I left a voice mail. I then texted the number for Paul and asked where were they. I received a phone call from Paul -- long story short -- Tommy, an employee of the firm, finally arrived after 1:00 p.m. and Paul, the owner, showed up shortly after that and they both installed both ceiling fans efficiently and correctly. They didn't leave a mess and were polite. Paul apologized profusely for the lateness, etc., and I accepted the apology. He said he would reduce price down to $125 to hang both fans but I still paid agreed-upon price, as I wasn't looking for a "deal," but rather a reliable and competent electrician. As to whether or not I will use Fairway Electric in the future, IDK. I am going to give myself some time to think about all that transpired today and everything else. As there wasn't a spot for I'm not sure on whether or not I'd use the company again, I put no. I can say that the fans were installed competently and for a fair price. I can also say, despite all the holes in the excuses as to why they were five hours late, both Paul, the owner, and Tommy, his employee, were nice, clean, and efficient. However, a five-hour wait is, for me, beyond the pale. That's about all I can say.

Description of Work: This is the 2nd time I've used Fairway and it was another great experience. Our porch light stopped working, I took the light down thinking that was the problem. Fairway figured out it was the switch, replaced it and re-hund the light. I'm very happy.

Description of Work: An electrical outlet was installed in the bedroom. Always happy with the work done. Very professional and accommodating. Will use them over and over and over.......
