About us

When you call Joel Foy Electrical Service, we are committed to providing a quality product at a fair price. Over the past 15 years I have been providing electrical services personally to the Tallahassee area. As demand has grown I have carefully hired employees that share my values of customer service and quality work. We are fast, reliable and prompt. We do new installs and repairs of anything electrical such as motors, lighting (indoor, outdoor and landscape), installing new circuits, or repairing existing. We can take care of your home inspection repairs and install lightening protection. We work on commercial, industrial, and residential properties and my trucks are well stocked with materials so we don't have to leave and get parts for your job saving you time and money! We can locate underground lines and repair them or locate them before you dig so we don't have to repair them. I would love to look at any remodel or new construction job you have and give you suggestions to optimize your lighting or a free estimate.

I am SO impressed with Joel Foy's electrician JACOB’s (assistant Michael) work in my home, tracking down non-obvious faulty wiring and shorts. JACOB is professional, efficient and a pleasure to deal with! As a customer who needed an evasive problem solved, I felt well-treated and understood. I am very appreciative. And, a big thank you, too, to Mr. Sam and Mr. Steve… for listening to my situation and making sure it got taken care of ASAP. What a wonderful experience all around! I highly recommend.

Description of Work: We had some electrical work that we wanted to have done. We wanted to see if our main unit was suitable for our home. They said it was in good shape, so they did a few other things and put in some new outlets. They were pretty efficient. They made a slight mistake, but they patched that up and it worked out fine. We were happy with the situation.

He takes care of all the job estimates personally then he sends crews out to actually do the work after he has talked it with you and inspect it all out. He helps me plan, changes my lighting and he advices me about wirings. It wasn't just that he was there to do what I ask him to do, he actually took on my projects like it was his own. He has his people do a great job and it was over many months, actually.
Description of Work: I used Joel Foy Electrical Services. He installed lightings and rewired our kitchen.

Joel Foy is very professional and nice to work with. He made valuable suggestions regarding my preferences for outdoor lighting and The bathroom fan. An additional visit to install the fixtures at the front door was needed since they were shipped after his first visit. I have recommended him to friends and will definitely use his company again.
Description of Work: Installed 3 outdoor lights and 2 fluorescent lights. Replaced bathroom fan and 2 light fixtures at front door.

Bought coupon from Angies for the first hour, and paid the extra online later after the service. Joel came for an estimate first, then sent two guys to my home the other day. They worked for more than two hours. One guy replaced the four security lights outside, and the other fixed all the problems of the outlets and dimmers inside. They did pretty good job, especially the one inside. He is nice and professional.
Description of Work: Replace two dead outlets, three dimmers and four yard security lights.

Response from Joel Foy Electrical Service
Thank you for your kind words. The electricians helper that was working outside your home was fired soon after your job. I pride myself on the kind of employees that work here and if they don't make my customers happy they will not be here long. I have a very good crew working for me now. Thank you again for your feed back, I value your opinion. Joel

Called Joel based on reviews here on Angie's list. FYI the phone listed here is incorrect. Found the correct phone number on Joel's website. Left a voice mail and he returned my call within the hour. Told him what I needed and Joel gave me an estimate and we setup a time. The technicians were right on time, very friendly, and went right to work. The work was completed quickly and professional. The nice surprise came when I received the bill and it was less than the estimate. I will certainly call Joel again for any electrical work I need.

Joel was very responsive and was a pleasure to work with. He consulted with me on each part of the job and Andrew was there promptly, working well with my landscaper to time the installation. The work is very good and they used very good parts. I could not be more pleased and will definitely call Joel Foy whenever I need electric work done!

the fluorescent lights went out in our guest bath. Even though we changed out the bulbs, it still didn't work. I called and spoke with Joel. he told me he could get someone out that same afternoon and he did. My husband was there and told me that all went well. I came home from work and viola! I had lights in the guest bath once more!!! Also, I had expected that they would want to be paid on the spot (since we were new customers), however, the workman told my husband they would bill us. I received the bill and sent the check out today. Highly recommended.

The experience turned out fine. They were able to come out right away, they were able to perform the service that I needed, and I saved money that was the key to everything. I had to pay for the parts, and they provided the labor, and now we don't have to worry about the plug running from under the door. They did exactly what I asked them to do. I would use them again, because I am sure they are not making any money through the big deals, and the idea is to build relationships.
Description of Work: We purchased a big deal for Joel Foy Electrical Service, Inc. I did not have a plug in my bathroom for the heater, and I was running a line from under the door. I needed an outlet put in our master bath, where our shower is.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. It worked out very well. He did a great job. There were no problems. They were just changing from one color to another. I spent an additional $150. It was 2 1/2 hours and it was $95 an hour. They were very good.

Joel came out as soon as I was available to do an inspection and estimate. The time estimate was spot on as was the price quote. He was able to schedule the installation within days of the estimate. Technicians arrived promptly and got straight to work. They made sure to consult me on all decisions before installation and as the installation was progressing. They were quick and very knowledgeable. All of the work they performed looks great and works perfectly. I would highly recommend this group!
Description of Work: Installed a 240 volt outlet with a GFCI spa disconnect box in garage. Installed a 120V outlet under sink for garbage disposal with a switch above the sink.

The job was done very well with no additional charges, and Joel himself stayed to supervise and help clean up at the end. The work is perfect, and I have since hired Joel's team to rewire my kitchen. I look forward to having him as my go-to-electrician for a long time.
Description of Work: Joel's crew honored the AL deal of one hour's work for the single price. I needed a pair of old fan/light switches combined into one and a box installed for the fan.

He was very good. They did an excellent job. They were here on time. They did the work that we asked them to do and they did an excellent job. We felt like it was a fair price. We actually got his name from a neighbors and then we looked on Angie's List to make sure he was reputable, that he has good reviews. My husband agreed to the price, so we could say that it was a fair price. He actually gave us a discount. He reduced the price based on the number of hours. He gave us a quote and he based it on 8 hours and it took less than than, so he reduced the price by the labor charge from the number of hours that it took. We were pleased with that. He kind of gave us the highest bid based on the longest time it would take them to do the work. They had some ideas that we haven't thought about where to put the turn on paintings. They were here when they said they were going to be. They did the work in a timely fashion.
Description of Work: We had some thing put in and Joel Foy Electrical Service, Inc. had some good ideas about where to put the on and off. He put everything that belonged in the kitchen on one turn on thing and then he put everything that belong to the garage on one, which it was kind of divided and made a whole lot more sense the way that they decided to do that.

The overall experience and job was excellent. Joel did the work himself except had a helper when they had to run a new wire from the panel through the attic and fished through the bathroom wall. Joel was patient, clean and conscientious. He didn't leave crooked wall plates or debris. He was on time and sincerely courteous. He also gave a 10% senior discount!
Description of Work: A new electrical circuit was installed from our electric panel in the garage to our master bath which was being renovated. Two outlets were upgraded to double outlets. Removed old (1989) ceiling fan/light, moved location and wiring and installed a new quiet Panasonic fan with light, removed old socket light and installed new one. Replaced all switches with color of my choice to match the new bathroom. Installed breaker outlets where needed. Installed two new light wall fixtures over sink.

Joel arrived on schedule. Let me walk him through the list of "to-do's" I had and their priority for me. I explained that I had a stopping point with regard to the maximum I could pay for this visit. He started right in on the list and stopped only to explain something to me, when necessary, about each of the tasks. He was patient and thorough with his explanations. I will definitely use his services again.
Description of Work: Checked/installed dimmer switch and explained the wattage load and its relationship to the dimmer. Repaired garage lighting/door opener wiring. Isolated wiring problem with flood light by the pool and explained the steps I could take to run new cable (saving money) before bringing Joel back to connect the wiring and install new outdoor outlets.
