Description of Work: Mel got back with me quickly when I asked for work to be done during the Thanksgiving weekend. I needed the junction box moved slightly in my older bathroom (concrete wall) to accommodate a new light fixture, plus 2 light switches that weren't working fixed. Was very pleased with this provider and would definitely recommend him and use him again myself.

Response from Mel's Electrical
Hi! I apologize for the inconvenience. I was held over at a business and dealing with inspections. You are right, that was very unprofessional and some how I missed the appointment. I truly wish you would have called me...I would have made a point to come right away. Sorry I let you down. If you are willing to give me another try, I would be honored and grateful. If not, I completely understand. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I make a point to be early to all the appointments and not miss any. However, that day must have got the best of me. I will work on my appointment book to correct this in the future. I would not want to experience this and I do not want any of my other customers to go through what you did. Please accept my apology. Happy Holidays to you and your family. Thanks again- Mel

Mel arrived on time, evaluated the job and gave us his estimate. I was satisfied with the price so asked when he could start. He was ready to begin immediately, or could return on Wednesday. I was happy to have him start right away. He completed the job without any real problems. A roof beam prevented him from installing the light exactly where we wanted, but no big deal for us. The completed installation looks and works great. His estimated price was $325. Actual price he charged was $230. He said he had allowed for any "surprises" with his estimate, but all went as planned, so he charged less. That tells you a lot about how someone conducts their business! No nasty surprises and you get what you pay for! Very happy with the work done and thorough cleanup afterwards. He also rewired another light switch for me while he was here. An enjoyable experience overall.
Description of Work: We had a bathroom light/exhaust fan installed. This was installed in one of our bedrooms, which is now the craft room. There was no existing fixture, so the installation was done from scratch.

He was very friendly, but he got upset once because he forgot to put a piece of drywall back in and he had to take the fan apart. He cleaned up after himself fairly well and his price was very good.
Description of Work: Mel's Electrical installed 4 new fans and 4 recess lightings for my kitchens. He also installed new lines in our kitchen for new appliances. He also put in plug switch on the outside of my screen porch.

Everything went great. I don't remember how much they quoted me but whatever the amount was, it was very reasonable. I certainly didn't find it unreasonable. They did exactly what I'd asked them to do. I will definitely use them again in the future.

I asked Mel to help me with a kicthen remodeling project. He was on time and performed the work in a very timely manner. He was professional and did the work at a fair price. The scope of work required Mel to come out twice. He was very prompt in returning once we were ready for the trim out. I also added some work to the original scope and he did it without question and didn't even charge me. I will use him again and would recommend him without question to anyone I know. He was a pleasure to work with.
Description of Work: Mel's job was to do the electrical work in a kitchen remodel. His scope of work was the following: Run a new circuit for the microwave. Move all electrical lines that were in the old soffit up into the new ceiling space. Move the dishwasher electrical to a new location. Replace all outlets and switches with new. Install a ceiling fan into a new location. Plus other misc pieces.

I am so pleased with Mel's Electrical, I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone that needs any electrical work done. I started having electrical problems late Friday night and called several people on Angie's List including one I normally use. NO ONE called me back and one was too busy. I waited till Monday to try again to find an electrician. I called Mel's Electrical and when he said he would be here in 20 minutes, I couldn't believe it. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing electrical work and he gave me a nice discount for being on Angie's List.
Description of Work: I called Mel's Electrical this morning and spoke to the owner. I told him I was having a breaker problem and could he help me. He asked me where I lived and said he would be here in 20 minutes. He was here in 20 minutes or less and I was really surprised that anyone could be so professional and efficent. He found a bad breaker and fixed that problem and because the outlets in the family room weren't working he had to take apart all the outlets to find the one that was burned out. He found it and replaced it . All that work in an hour's time, and what a nice person.
