It took us several attempts to get scheduled. Electrician kept setting up times to come by but then cancelling and rescheduling. When he finally came, he worked VERY slow. He took his time setting up his work area, tools, even a radio for music! We were expecting to have two bathroom fixtures hung as well as possibly a porch light. Instead, it took him the full two hours just to hang ONE light fixture!!! Extremely disappointed.

Scott is an exceptional electrician. He did a great job installing a track lighting fixture in a house that is more than130 years old, and took care of several unexpected problems that often occur in a house this old. I'm impressed with the scope of his knowledge and the care he took with this job. Scott was very professional and pleasant and I would definitely recommend him to anyone. He will be the first electrician I call for any upcoming projects.
Description of Work: Install track lighting in a room without any lighting fixtures. This installation required that work be done both in the office itself, and in the attic just above the office (i.e., some carpentry and electrical). He also replaced a switch.

Excellent! He called one day before to confirm appointment and called while he was on his way. I greatly appreciate when a provider keeps his customer informed. Please keep up the good work! Arrived on time and completed work professionally. He was extremely professional and polite. We used special angie's list coupon and he completed all work which was possible in that time frame. We are extremely happy with their service and professionalism.

It went great! He was so kind and helpful. He was quick and shared what he learned as he did his work so I was fully understanding of what he was doing and why. I would definitely hire him again and he is my 'go to' electrician in the future. Thank you!
Description of Work: Given I was moving out of my condo and renting it - I had a few things to be addressed: 1) light over kitchen sink was out, and switch was old - he replaced the switch and showed me how to replace the bulb 2) track lighting has left black marks on ceiling - wanted to make sure not a fire hazard or something wrong - all is fine ;) 3) Input two dimmer switches for me 4) fixed the two-way light switch I screwed up years ago when putting in a dimmer...

It sounds like an easy job, but 'a handy man' had left Scott a mess. He did a great job, even having to drill out stripped screws. It was a good deal for what we needed. Scott was punctual, and honest.

Even though I was a little irritated when he had to schedule me so far in advance, I am glad I waited. He was professional, honest, and on time. He told me when I needed to repair or replace and when it was just a loose screw. I will be using him more in the future. He is now my go to electrician.

This went very smooth. I was very impressed with the level of work provided (granted, not the most difficult of jobs). Scott arrived on time and did an excellent job of communicating throughout the appointment process (scheduling, work to be done, possible issues, etc). An issue came up that required him to improvise with different equipment, which he handled very well. Power was installed on the base of a wall that didn't have any (i.e. installed an outlet). Scott ran power from a light switch on the wall down to the where we wanted the outlet. The power line needed to go through 3 wall studs to get to the location we wanted. The wall was patched and outlet installed all within the time promised. We did have a coupon for 2 hrs of work for $95 that we used, then paid $10 for the equipment. Again, very happy with the result and would be happy to recommend.

, We were very pleased with the job that Scott did, so much so that we had him return to install outside outlets for us. We were contacted promptly to set a date and time for the work. We received a call before his arrival. His work was quick and efficient- very professional and he was pleasant. When he returned for the second job we were again happy with the work and with Scott as a provider of service We will call him back for any additional electric work and recommend him to any one.
Description of Work: We had a spotlight at the end of our home that did not work properly. The light was checked, and adjusted. The photo sensor was replaced.

the electrician was very concerned and helpful. He worked quickly and did a great job. I had a ceiling fan and outlet that stopped working. I was pleased. I used the coupon that I purchased for 95.00 dollars (2hours) . I didnot want to wait for an appointment because it seemed too long of a wait but, it was worth it and it saved me a lot of money. I will buy more coupons in the future. Thanks stockwell electric.
