Mr. Stockwell was great about explaining what I needed done. He did not make me feel rushed, and he did not try to sell me a lot of things I did not need. I believe he did a good job, and I would recommend him. I have and will use him again.
Description of Work: Mr. Stockwell changed several plugs in my home, and he remembered to bring an additional plate for an open box. He was great about explaining what was needed and did not make me feel rushed, or like he was trying to sell me anything I did not need. I have and will use him again.

Needed a ceiling fan installed in our kitchen. Bought the big deal. It was pre-wired so it was pretty straight forward. It took a few weeks to get on the schedule but I was fine with that. Scott was punctual and professional... I'm happy with my new fan.

This was a change from what we had hoped to do. All through the process he explained what was going on, why he was doing it and what the results would be. He had to cut a few holes in the walls an ceilings to make things work, but he patched up the holes. We will do the final finishing and paint work, which was expected, based on the deal he gave us. All in all, he did a great job, was easy to work with and did what he said he would do. We will use him again.
Description of Work: Scott installed two ceiling fans in our upstairs bedrooms. Attic access was impossible, so he ended up fishing wires through the walls.

On more than one appointment schedued, the Stockwell electric did not show or notify me that he would not be coming. However, when I would call to find out what happened, he gave excuse, illness, or would say he tried to call me, but, his name and number was not in my phone as missed calls. Finally, his future scheduling was not convenient for me, and without futher do, he recommended that I put in for a refund. Therefore, for the $99.00 Stockwell electrician, I would like a refund, and would not recommend him.
Description of Work: The provider did nothing more then stood me up on more then one occassion.

Scott is very busy so I waited about a month but it was worth the wait. He is very knowledgeable and efficient in his work. He found the problem quickly, repaired it and cleaned the work area. He even caulked my outside connection perfectly. Scott is a very courteous person and easy to get along with. No pretense or fake smile. I feel that I can trust his judgement. Would not hesitate for a second to hire him again. Scott is the type of worker you rarely see but always hope for.

Scott did a great job. I had to wait a month for him to be available, but it was worth it because the holes he needed to make in my ceilings were MUCH smaller than other electrician's quotes. I don't mind waiting for a qualified, diligent contractor and am glad I waited for him. Along with his great ratings the wait also said to me that his services were in (well deserved) demand. Plan ahead and go with Scott. My project turned out exactly like I imagined it would. PS I was also a little nervous because he did his estimate over the phone. I was concerned that the price might change drastically. However, the final price was the exact low end of the quote and I think he is just experienced enough to quote it over the phone because he knows what he is doing.
Description of Work: Scott installed an additional switch to the opposite entrance of one room and installed overhead lighting to a room that did not previously have a box in the ceiling.

He did a great job! We thought we would have to replace two ceiling fans but Scott was able to fix the wiring so both units work. He changed out two fixtures and re-wired an existing switch.

Provider did nothing I wasted $99.00.
Description of Work: Nothing. Provider was not prepared to do much. He came in car with limited supplies, no ladder nothing. One job I had him look at was way too complicated for him to do in the time frame. The other job he might have been able to do but again he was not prepared to really do anything.

He did some work and I guess it was fine. We didn't have two hours worth of work for him to do though. He just left his card with us but that was pretty much it. We didn't realize that he would be done quite that fast. I think we had to reschedule a few times but other than that it was fine when he came out. He knows his stuff, he was in and out.

The electrical wiring in our house is old and was pieced together by the previous owner. Scott worked patiently to try to figure out where all of the wires went and managed to install a box in our wire mesh and plaster ceiling. He explained what he was doing and cleaned up when he was done.

It turned out fine. They did whatever we asked them to do. It's working fine. He had to go get some extra cable at some point because it was just a little short but other than that, it actually went very smoothly.
Description of Work: They installed a light switch at the bottom of the stairs for our basement and then rewired all the lights so they were turned on and off by those instead of pull strings.

Scott was great - he was on time and worked hard until the job was done. This was a medium-sized project that involved rewiring an entire bathroom and installing four new lights and another electric fixture. The finished result was perfect. I plan to hire him again for subsequent projects.
Description of Work: Installed two new recessed lights, two wall sconces, and re-configured corresponding switches.

This was the Deal - 2 hours of Labor for $99.00. Scott was very responsive- emailed me right away, called me back to set up an appointment, showed up at the proper time - within a very acceptable 15 minute window (always allowing for some uncertainty due to previous jobs) . He did diagnose my problem, didn't try to sell me extra hours at $70/hr, but suggested ways to handle the problem. His diagnosis was spot on, from what I know of electrical work. Scott then checked all other outlets for proper operation and performed a minor repair.
Description of Work: Diagnosed 2 outlets with no ground
