I think he did an okay job but he really didn't come prepared. We had a series of things that we needed him to do and I prioritized them to him before hand. I think he completed most of the jobs but there was a lot of negativity before getting it done. And the most important piece that I wanted done which was a chandelier that is really hard to get to, he didn't come with the proper equipment. So there was a lot of that smaller stuff that needed to get done. He was responsive in the beginning.
Description of Work: I used Additional Help.

.the electrician followed a logical trail right to the problem just leave him alone to do what he does and he WILL solve the Problem.

P.S a Belkin surge protector shorted out and was melted at the place where it plugs into the outlet .melting the outlet and the surge protector.

Chris is a marvelous person. He takes great pride in the quality of his work. He made sure he had a tarp down to catch parts and drywall plaster dust. Borrowed a vacuum and cleaned in all the rooms he worked. Much of the work necessited Chris get into our attic through a hatchway to run wiring
Description of Work: Wired and installed one chandelier, one wall sconce and one shower light.. Tested ceiling fan circuit replaced a duplex bathroom outlet with a quad Replaced a bathroom outlet replaced a dimmer switch

Chris was very professional and diligent. Very pleased with the work he did. Asked him if he installs thermostats and he indicated it wasn't in his main line of work but he would do it as typically it is straight forward. Very impressed that when he ran into problems installing thermostat he took it upon himself to call the thermostat manufacturer (who wasn't helpful) and then a friend in the line of work for help. Turns out that my HVAC system is only compatible with a small number of thermostats, which of course I didn't have.
Description of Work: Replaced hanging light fixture, replaced (4) light switches, replaced (3) thermostats, installed whole-house surge protector, installed outlet.

Chris confirmed our appointment the day before and even arrived a few minutes before the designated time, which I really appreciated. I had told him that we had a lot of little jobs to do and he was good with that. I showed him everywhere in the house and outside where the problems were and he got right to work. He was very professional with a great personality and no job was too small. It's so hard to find a good contractor and that's why I always turn to Angie's List to do the legwork for me! If you're looking for an electrician, definitely call Additional Help, LLC, I WILLl be using Chris again!
Description of Work: Replaced light over the garage with new sensor lighting Replaced broken receptacle in screen porch Repaired outside decorative light that had a broken bulb we were unable to remove Repaired and replaced two way switch in hallway tried to repair broken light fixture in bathroom but I guess it's time to buy a new one!

I purchased a deal on Angie's list for 2 hours of electrical labor. He showed up on time, was very friendly and did the work I needed to be done. He was honest with any questions or concerns I had and could tell he wasn't going to scam me for additional services. I would highly recommend him.

Chris was prompt, arriving early and was very nice. He got to work right away and made sure to protect items in the house as he was working. Unfortunately my attic proved to be difficult to maneuver around with beams and insulation in the way of getting at the electrical wiring he needed access to. In the end, while the work didn't get completed, I offered to pay Chris for his time as he was here for two hours. He didn't accept it and apologized for not being able to complete the work. He is a genuine, straight up guy who obviously takes a lot fo pride in his work and values honesty and integrity over a pay check. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for help on projects like these.
Description of Work: Chris came out to install a bathroom exhaust fan.

He arrived 15 minutes early and apologized for being early. He first came in to see the what had to been done and then went to get the necessary tools and tarp to protect my house. He brought two types of brackets for ceiling fan installation depending upon the type of ceiling I had. He did not need to use either one since one was already installed for the chandelier. He read the instructions before putting the fan together because he said every fan is a little different. He had no problem removing the chandelier or installing the fan with 9 foot ceilings. He was very pleasant and a nice person and very knowledgeable.
Description of Work: He removed a chandelier and put together a new ceiling fan and installed it neatly and professionally. I already told him I was going to use him again. He is very knowledgeable and comes equipped for any situation.

Everything went well. He was in contact to re-confirm appointment and arrived on time. We went through the problems with my lighting in the basement which he repaired with no problem. He then repaired a light in a closet which wasn't working (there was something wrong with the lighting). He was on task and gave some ideas about outdoor lighting when weather would permit. I would definitely use him again for whatever electrical problem I might encounter.

I needed an electrician to replace 1 ceiling fan and put in 2 others in rooms with just ceiling lights. The fans were brand new in the box and he was able to complete this in about an hour and a half. I would have taken me an hour just to figure out how to take one of the fixtures down lol. He was than able to replace three other light fixtures and get right to the undercounter lights. I replaced my old fluorescent ones with LEDs. Everything came out great! He came on time, he was very nice and the price was right. I would highly recommend him.
Description of Work: He installed 3 ceiling fans, 3 light fixtures and replaced undercounter lights.
