Very well. My condo is old and the wires were short and hard to access. Pat did a great job and I would hire him again in a minute.

Fantastic! These guys are the best! We had to move a mysterious conduit in our ceiling. It went into a brick wall on one side and into an abyss of ceiling on the other in our condo. Within about 10 minutes of being here, he had found what wires were inside the pipe by going into the storage room across the hall. In a hour or two after that, he wad able to completely remove the pipe from our ceiling and refasten the wires out of the way. They were also willing to communicate with our plumbers to make sure they had enough room to get to solder the pipe next to it and were getting the job done right. Pat, our electrician, did a great job, and as a bonus, the electrician was a fantastic whistler.
Description of Work: We needed a conduit moved. It was too close to another pipe that our plumbers needed to solder.

I've used Simon Electrical contractors several times in the passed year and I have nothing but good things to say about them! They have replaced light fixtures, wired for and installed new light fixtures, and wired for a new doorbell system. They're pleasant to work with, competent, and punctual.

The installation went very smoothly. The workmen arrived daily at agreed upon time, were extremely courteous and professional, and never hesitated in answering any questions about the work. At the end of each day, the workspace was as clean as it was prior to their arrival. The work was completed on time, including final city inspections, at which the workmen were present. I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Installed new 120 volt, 20 Amp circuit from the existing circuit breaker panel to new flood control pump pit in outside yard. Also furnished and installed a new 11 KW, Back-up Generator, and furnished and installed a new 200 Amp, Service Rated transfer switch.

I called at 8 a.m. Shawn called back at 8:30 to get the info. She called back and said Pat would be there at 9:30. He was. As soon as he saw the incorrectly wired fixture, he corrected it. Total time spent: less than 15 mins. Took the credit card and gave a receipt. Done.

Ron Simon was our electrician and I had a positive experience with him. We bought a fixer-upper and the electric was a disaster and a fire hazard. I looked at three or four contractors and Ron was by far the most honest and competent. He was able to look at all of the issues and triage them and explain what needed to be done and what could wait for later. The job was quite pricey but I definitely feel like he explained everything to me and did everything correctly. He brought everything up to code and I feel very confident in his work. I plan on using him again in the future.
Description of Work: Simon Electrical Contractors rewired most of our house.

Working with the owner of this company and the receptionist was challenging. I cannot recommend them. The receptionist, Cindy, is incompetent and rude at best. I believe that the workmen are honest, however, it is my opinion that the owner of this company is not a credible businessman. The recent work at my home was a structural correction of one of their previous jobs. Despite the very obvious need for a revision, the owner was not apologetic, and was only willing to correct the problem charging his full rate for materials and labor to the tune of $1000.

I was having plastering done when it was discovered that the original wiring in the house needed to be replaced. The estimator was professional as were the two electricians who came to do the work. They worked quickly and and neatly. They answered all of my questions completely. They also mounted a new overhead light and a new ceiling fan. I appreciated the quality of the work and professionalism of the electricians.
Description of Work: On an emergency basis, rewired one room in my house so that a plasterer could complete his work. Then later, rewired 6 rooms and the basement in a 1928 bungalow.

THE RECEPTIONIST ANSWERED MY CALL ON MY FIRST ATTEMPT AND ARRANGED AN APPOINTMENT FOR FIRST THING THE NEXT MORNING. THE ELECTRICIAN ARRIVED EXACTLY ON TIME, WAS PROFESSIONAL AND COURTEOUS. HE DID THE WORK IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES. WHEN WE HAVE OTHER ELECTRICAL PROJECTS WE ARE DEFINITELY GOING TO USE THIS COMPANY. IF THEY ARE SO PROFESSIONAL FOR A SMALL JOB, I'M OPTIMISTIC THEY WILL BE THE SAME FOR LARGER ONES.
