Everything went really smoothly. Scott was personable and friendly and was patient with me as I asked questions to understand what he was doing (I like to try to learn a bit for next time around). I appreciated the quick response and willingness to fit me in to his schedule on a Friday afternoon. Scott will be my first call if we have more electrical work to have done.

It was not a good experience at all. He installed it incorrectly and damaged the lighting. I had to reorder all the lighting. It was a month-long experience, just because he did not read the directions. So, I was not pleased. He put the new stuff in and he did pay for it. He paid for the mistake. He wasn't very nice about it. I would not recommend him. The total cost was $125. He had to pay for the lighting the second time.
Description of Work: I purchased a big deal from them for $85. I had the guy come out and install under cabinet lighting.

The two lights outside were installed and electrician even cleaned out the area and sealed it so bugs would not get in. Very happy with the way they look. He installed a pull switch in the upstairs light/fan that was faulty. Unfortunately, however, there was something wrong with the unit itself and so it did not work properly. The following week I purchased a new fan/light for that room and hired the electrician to return on 10/29/2015 and install the new fan, plus replace another fan and light in the dining room and kitchen. Very happy with the work and Mr. Stockwell and plan on having him return in the spring to repair a coach light I have outside.

This gentleman kept me apprised of where he was on the day of the appointment, how soon he would get to my house, etc. He seemed very professional and knowledgeable. I would definitely use him again. His appearance was clean and neat, and he picked up after himself. He was very kind and spoke in terms I could understand about my electrical problems.
Description of Work: The electrician fixed a hanging lamp that had shorted out, checked my fuse box, and removed the metal part of a light bulb that had exploded in a socket. He did a clean and professional job. Also advised me about other items in the home. He gave me 2 light bulbs. I would definitely use this gentleman again. He is a quality worker.

Scott called about 90 minutes prior to assure the scheduled job was a go this morning. Scott was prompt arriving at the scheduled time. He was neat, clean and efficient and made all requested repairs in the two hours that I purchased on deal through Angie's list. He offered to return at his regular hourly rate of $80 for any additional electrical work needed. He was a pleasure to work with, an experienced and skilled electrician. I would highly recommend him for anyone in need of a fine electrician and will gladly use him in future for any other electrical work needed.
Description of Work: A variety of small electrical work that I needed. Changed 3 defective light switches, replaced a closet globe light fixture, changed an outside motion sensor light and repaired it and cut a couple feet off and repaired a 100 foot outdoor extension cord that I cut with my electric hedge clipper and also put in a three prong plug (replacing the two prong plug for safety).

Very good communication, called ahead of time the day of the work, arrived on time, was very flexible installing 2 extra lights we didn't initially talk about. Works quickly, cleans up when he was finished, explained what he was doing during the work. Scott's a great guy, I wouldn't hesitate to call him again when needed

Stockwell was extremely professional and punctual. I really appreciated his straightforward advice and the pace at which he worked. He performed some basic work for us and installed an outdoor socket. He was great and even threw in a few extra outlets/outlet covers at no additional charge. His rates were very reasonable for a skilled electrician and we will definitely use him again.

Scott does excellent work. Very knowledgeable and professional. Friendly and easy to talk to. I previously had Scott put in some new smart switches into my home. I asked him back to perform some much needed electrical work in my laundry work. The work looks fantastic. The addition of new outlets allows my wife and I to reconfigure out laundry room and make it much more functional. Would definitely use them again.

We purchased the two hours of electrical work for $95.00. The electrician responded through Angie's List right away and told us when he would be available. He was apologetic that he would not be available for several weeks which was fine with us. We scheduled the time and he confirmed when the time came, arrived on time and was efficient and professional. We are very pleased that the work was done by Stockwell. We will use them again.
Description of Work: Changed out three electrical receptacle outlets in a bedroom and removed and replaced the ceiling fan in the same room.

Scott was extremely fast and friendly offering great service I felt bad having Scott come for such a small job. He offered several dates and times that would work for scheduling. He was on time, professional, and extremely experienced. Clearly Scott can handle much larger and for him, more profitable jobs. Yet he treated me as a top client even though the job was very small. He was extremely fast. Six months later, the ports work great and my kids and I all love the solution for charging offered by the built in USB ports!
Description of Work: Replaced a tradional wall A/C outlet with one containing two A/C jacks and two USB ports.

That was fine. They came out pretty soon. I think they were on time. The guy who came to the door, we asked him to just put on booties, which we have everyone do and he was pretty cranky about that. We have all people who come in just wear booties in the house or whatever over their shoes and he was not pleased about that. I would not necessarily pick him first. The ceiling fan has functioned well over the years. Clearly, he did the right thing and did a good job but he has some attitude.
Description of Work: We used the big deal of Stockwell Electric. We had a ceiling fan repaired. They installed a new one. They took out the old and put in a new one.

One thing I can say is that he did not string me along and I was able to retain another electrician who turned out great and I have used again and again. I just hate that I lost $99.00 but that is part of the agreement.

Arrived on time. Took awhile to assemble fan. Was very patient. Able to make black ceiling cover for lights work instead of using the white adapter covers. Hung lights evenly. Connected dishwasher in about 5 minutes. Explained why switches were sparking. Answered all questions, very easy to work with.
