From our first email exchanges to the day of the project, Scott was responsive and extremely helpful. He was prompt for our planned appointment and once on-site he offered lots of insight and problem-solving for the lighting scheme my designer and I had planned for the foyer. An absolute professional. I look forward to having Scott come back to do further work in my condo.

I used the 2 hours of labor to install new switches, fixed one that had a short and added outlets to the switch. He was an hour and half late for the appointment. I thought everything was working fine with the work. Throughout the day, we realized the work he had performed wasn’t functioning. I had to have him came back out again which took about a week. He was an hour and 40 minutes late for the second appointment. He did get it fixed but it was a little frustrating that I needed to have him come back out.

The installation went well for all first the changing of a new light fixture above the sink that i wanted replaced. The bathroom has more light now. The installation of the two fans were replaced with newer ones for two bedrooms. i purchased a coupon for $99.00 and paid $20.00 extra for install of the fans since an extra part was needed for the ceiling which i agreed and the fans look great. I would use the company's service again and very satisfied.

Provider kept delaying scheduling for the service. And today told me that he will not be able to do my work until after a few weeks. My opinion is : if you do not intend to honor your $89 coupon, why offering it in the first place? Just remove it and not misleading consumers and wasting everyone's time. Provider advised me to get a refund for my coupon today. Not recommended.

Stockwell accommodated my schedule to install three fans and a bathroom light fixture before the end of June in my rental unit. Due to the number of fixtures, the time went over which I had previously discussed with Stockwell; the price was fair for the number of fixtures installed. Contractor was knowledgeable in the installation of fans in an older house; one of the fans required a canopy because electrical box was not deep enough. I was also able to learn a few things and my questions were answered in a friendly manner. I was able to work with this contractor without any stress and the day ended on an upbeat note.

I called early morning and Scott was able to get me in late morning due to a small gap in his schedule, and the assumption that mine would be a small job. Once underway, Scott discovered that my service wasn't grounded and that portions of the service really needed to be replaced. He was excellent about stopping to check with me, explaining and giving me the option to stop if the job had become bigger than I was prepared to undertake. It was clear that my very old wiring needed to be replaced. Scott had to rearrange his schedule to stick with my job for the additional time it took. Despite several surprises in my garage wiring, he was able to solve the problems as he went. He explained everything he was doing. He provided me options that allowed me to contain my cost. I felt Scott did a high quality job and I very much appreciated his flexibility when a seemingly small job turned complex.
Description of Work: I needed to have an outlet installed in my garage to accommodate a new garage door opener. To address this, we also needed to replace some very old wiring and ground the outlet.

They installed a few hanging lights in our kitchen. The work went smoothly, although it went longer than we expected. They ran into a few snags that were unforeseeable until they got started. In the end I was pleased.

From the first contact, Scott was extremely professional. He has years of experience working on vintage homes and was able to quickly communicate exactly what would be needed for the job. Based on the in-home consultation, I scheduled the work to be done. Scott came by on time and immediately got to work. Since we have an older homes, there were several issues that had to be corrected (bare wires, incorrect wiring, etc..) which Scott handled with ease. By the end of the day, Scott finished installing 6 ceiling fans and there were no wobbles and no worries on my part about the quality and workmanship of the job. If you are looking for someone that knows the ins/outs of electrical work, I would highly recommend Scott for the job.

Scott got back to me promptly and came as scheduled. He was professional, nice and knew his job. He also didn't laugh when he tried the switch, that I'd been trying to get to work for days, and the lights came on. Instead, he explained why this happened and changed the faulty switch. He then checked all the wiring and found another problem with the lights which he fixed. I appreciated his explaining things to me and making me feel like less of an idiot. I will definitely call him again.
Description of Work: Our fluorescent lights in the basement went out and Scott put in a new switch and also found a wiring problem which he also repaired.

It was fine and it went really good. He came out within a week or two. I think they charged me a little more. He was very polite and knew what he was doing. He was not slow and he did it as it should be done and was time wise. I would use him again.

I purchased a Big Deal coupon for Stockwell Electric. The service went fine. The guy was super nice, very punctual, thorough and was very polite. He accomplished the task to the best of his abilities given the limitations. We had to pay for an additional hour because it took longer than we had anticipated.
Description of Work: There was some electrical work that Stockwell Electric thought would be quite easy and I knew it would be quite difficult. They came out and it wasn't that quite difficult to get the job done. Basically, there had been some faulty wiring in our old house that they tried to work around.

For starters Scott had the address written wrong, but he called and we straightened it out and he was only down the street. But that explains the B grade in punctuality. He didn't have ivory colored outlet covers, so he didn't charge me for the white ones he put on. Everything else went smoothly. He was professional and courteous, the work was done well. I had an $85 angie's list 2-hour deal. He charged $20 for parts, which seems a little marked up. That explains the B for price.

I have an older home with a few eccentricities and I felt very comfortable when I saw how experienced and efficient this electrician performed his work. He was ready to handle any challenges in the job and explained to me what he was doing beforehand. I was pleased he finished so much in a short time and I would definitely call him again.

They did a nice job of explaining exactly what they would do, remapped our circuits so that any one circuit would be less likely to overload, and then performed the work in about the amount of time predicted. The price provided was a specific amount, not a variable per/hour amount, so that was anxiety reducing. Igor, was very organized and delivered on everything he said. The crew itself was a little less careful than Igor. At one point they took a lunch break without locking up our place (their tools were at risk too). They were right outside the building, (a 20 unit coop) but did not see my neighbor go in to check on why our place was wide open. That was the only worrisome point in what was otherwise an ideal experience. I recommend them.

Scott did an excellent job. He installed 4 ft track light in my kitchen. The price was extremely reasonable for the $85 deal plus the extra time for installation and the wiring he provided. Scott came out to do the estimate and I was pleased to learn he could install the extra track light I wanted through an internal wire he installed in the ceiling. I had gotten a previous quote for double the price from another technician and he was going to install the light by adding a series of 'L' brackets and tracks on the outside of my ceiling which was the lazy way to do it. Scott was accurate with all his measurements and only had to make one hole in my ceiling to where the track light attached. It was a perfect job. Everything worked and I was extremely satisfied. He even insisted on sweeping up afterwards. Nice touch.
Description of Work: Installed a 4 ft track light in my kitchen ceiling. Hung 2 Pendants from the track.
