Originally scheduled for the 16th but bumped me up to the 9th when a slot became available. Got here promptly at 8 left at 3 and worked hard the entire time. I had nothing left for him to fix otherwise he would have gladly stayed longer. I am VERY pleased with my new kitchen light, it works great. Also thrilled to have outlets in my bathroom that work and are compliant. Very nice person and hard worker.
Description of Work: Ran new wiring and installed a new light over my stove top. Troubleshot bad outlets in kitchen, found faulty fuse, replaced. Replaced 8 old two-prong outlets with new 3-prong outlets. Installed new outlets in 3 bathrooms.

Chris was very professional. He called before our scheduled appointment to make sure I was expecting him. He went over my list of jobs and gave me his opinion of how the job would go and suggestions on how to make it more cost effective for me. He even talked me out of a job that would have been more work than it was worth, and suggested an alternative which I implemented. It was a great solution. Now we have lights where we need them, and plugs in more convenient locations. His rate is very competitive and he did everything he was supposed to do. He has a good work ethic and stayed busy the whole time. I was impressed with the work and professionalism.
Description of Work: Ran wiring for new lights in dining room, and three closets. New outlet in bathroom and living room. Replaced outside and some interior plugs with GFI outlets.

They took three hours to install the ceiling fan and charged me an additional $50.00 on top of my deal. They hit the ceiling with their ladder and I'm going to have to repaint the ceiling because of that. It took over 2 months to get everything scheduled and for them to come out and complete the work.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal and had them come to install a ceiling fan. $99 for Two Hours of Electrical Labor.

I asked if Chris could come out early because our lamp light fixture had fallen off due to weather and old age. He is booked into September. I was concerned it could be dangerous because of the open wires. He came out early and fixed it. He is coming back out in September for more in house and out of house wiring. Thank you Chris!
Description of Work: Chris replaced an old post with new post and wired new post-lamp light. Replaced old front of the house wall lanterns with two new ones. Is coming back out to finish 'Electrician for a Day' deal.

I purchased the Big Deal from Additional Help, LLC in hopes of getting some work done the following week. I was unlucky in scheduling--they had previously scheduled work for another month. Unfortunately, I had to return the deal.

I purchased the voucher on Angie's List for a whole house electrical inspection on July 23rd. I immediately contacted Additional Help LLC with an email and follow up phone call, as my situation warranted an urgency. I was under time constraints to get an electrical inspection of a home, I put an offer on and just received word that my request for time extension had been accepted. Chris got back to me and notified me that he would be on vacation until the 28th of July and to give him a number and email to schedule the inspection. I pushed back the inspection date with the seller of the home to allow for the electrical inspection, but was informed by Chris on July 25th that he was booked through the last week of August. Not being able to extend for that long of a period, I made the choice to contact someone else who could perform the inspection within the time frame I needed. I am glad to hear it sounds like Chris's business is doing well! But, I had to have the inspection completed by a certain date. Thank you, Crystal McEwen

Chris was great throughout the whole process of scheduling and installation. He and his assistant were on time and did fantastic work. His quote and final invoice were also right on - no surprises. We would definitely call Chris again in the future.
Description of Work: Chris installed our already purchased pull-down attic stairs, moved the electrical for the smoke detector, and also installed plywood over the beams in the attic for easier storage.

This went very well. I needed new outlets upstairs, but didn't know whether the circuit could handle it. Mike came over, did a short inspection of my circuit breaker and electrical, and then got to work putting in the new outlets. He also replaced a light fixture in one bedroom that hadn't worked properly in 14 years. The raceway he installed even matched the new paint! Everything was done very well.
Description of Work: He replaced a light fixture, added new outlets in two bedrooms, and installed raceway in one bedroom.
