Description of Work: Called, left message. Believe it was Tim that called back around a week later. Told him what I needed, he said they would probably be able to do it sometime in the evening after they finish another job during the day. Said that was fine. Never heard back and it has now been at least six weeks. Point is, if they were too busy or job was too small, fine, just let me know. I could have had someone else deal with this by now. Work I need done is: plug is not working in each of my two bathrooms, need light bulb replaced in very high ceiling light, need garage door button replaced/repaired.

Hi. This is my first time to use company from angie's list. I need licensed electrician and I just moved in this new area so I have no idea how to find good electrician in this area. I checked all review of angie's list and I chose this company because they got very good reviews but I was worry about one thing. I can only see review by customer who spent hundred or thousand dollar big project. I only need to fix some outlets and light switches asap. I called him and he came next day. He fixed everything smooth and also explain how to fix it. He is very nice guy (east to talk) and his price is very reasonable compare to other company. His company is family owed local company so he is taking care of local customers very well. He is BEST and I can ONLY recommend him to all my family and friends.
Description of Work: fix some bad outlets and light switches, some advise for new project

They did a great job, from the estimate (which was very close to the actual cost) to the work itself. I provided the fixtures, they did the work. We are very happy with the results.

Mr. Cullivan was very prompt and efficient. He was also friendly and respectiful. He did his work quickly but skillfully. He explained what had gone wrong with the old outlet and why. He made sure the new outlet was correctly installed so as to prevent a similar incident in the future.
Description of Work: Replaced bad GFCI outlet. Checked the other outlets on same circuit also to make sure they were still OK.

Excellent work-- punctual, the estimate was spot-on for the final bill, and workers even cleaned up when finished. A family owned business (father and son worked together on our project), and that was cool to see.
Description of Work: Replaced old-school screw-in fuse box with new breaker box in our 1942 home. Also replaced outlets which had corroded and installed a grounding rod for our electrical system, which the house did not have previously.

They arrived on time, worked quickly and efficiently, and cleaned up after themselves. One of the projects presented a problem, which took two hours to solve, and they did not charge me for the time if took to solve. They were pleasant, professional to the core, explained what they were doing, and answered all my questions. I felt their fees were very reasonable. I would call them again in a heartbeat, and have recommended them to my friends.
Description of Work: Installed two outdoor motion sensor lights , two overhead kitchen lights, a doorbell chime, and a ceiling fan. I purchased all the items prior to calling them, and this was not a problem for them.

The Cullivans arrived on time and worked diligently through the day to remedy the various electrical issues. I pestered both of them (father and son) with various questions about electrical safety, and each responded professionally and courteously -- they never made me feel I was bothering them with my basic questions. If you're looking for someone to give you a fair price, address your electrical issues professionally, and communicate with you fairly, the Cullivans won't disappoint.
Description of Work: I had various electrical issues raised in my home inspector reports, and the Cullivans helped remedy all the problems. This included addressing improper wiring in my furance, ensuring the safety of ungrounded outlets, installing GFI's, and addressing safety hazards with my electrical box. They also adjusted the electrical wiring in my garage, so that it'd be compatible with a garage door opener.

Cullivan Electric is a father & son duo that works together to do both small and large jobs. Tim Cullivan (owner) was very punctual with the estimate and got us quickly onto his schedule. He came one day to remove the existing fan and old electrical wiring and returned with his son after the drywall had been patched/painted to install the lights. They hit a snag with the placement of one of the lights due to the placement of a pipe, but were able to come up a permanent solution that gave me what I wanted. Throughout the whole project, they were communicative. They were very knowledgeable and had a straight forward way of doing business. I will be hiring them for future projects and would confidently recommend them to a friend.
Description of Work: We had new recessed lighting put in our kitchen. Prior to the light installation, they removed an old fan from the ceiling. They also did some additional rewiring and installed some new outlets.
