This is the second or third time that we've had Jack and his team do electrical work for us. Overall, I have mixed feelings about the most recent work that we had done in our home. Jack is great and you can tell that he cares about the customer and does a good job. When Jack came out to give us an estimate on the basement rewire, I assumed that he would be there doing the work and his other employees would be assisting him. Unfortunately, he was only there about 1/2 of the time and the rest of the work was done by his other two employees. I wasn't that impressed with his other employees. When I asked them a few simple questions about the work that was to be done, they either gave me a blank stare or they didn't answer my question. I got the sense that since it wasn't their company, they didn't really care very much. (There was an issue that came up during the inspection which was a mistake made by one of his employees.) Jack quickly fixed the mistake, but it is still concerning because of all of the other work that they did. At the end of the project, I wanted to spend 5-10 minutes going over things with Jack about what they had done and what was left. (There is still old wiring in our house that needs to be removed at a later date.) The last day of the project, Jack told me that he would be there. His employee finished things up and Jack never showed up. He contacted me through email and sent me the final invoice. I mentioned that there were still a few loose ends that needed to be tied up with the house - minor things with a light switch, etc and I would be happy to give him his check when he tied up the loose ends. He showed up a few days later and tied up the loose ends and spent a few minutes going over what had been done. Overall, I have mixed feelings. Although I think that Jack does a good job, I wasn't impressed with his employees.
Description of Work: Basement rewire, add additional power to upstairs bathroom, fix electrical to downstairs light.

I was impressed with what he did. He knows what he's doing and has the right license. He was very thorough, and I really appreciated his persistence. He definitely wanted to ensure that things were set right and it was obvious that he wanted to honor his commitment.

He did an excellent job. He worked on it for 7 to 8 hours. He would not stop until it was all finished. He thought it would take him until 1pm and he was there til 230pm even though it was his daughter's birthday. I wanted one additional thing to be done. He said no problem and did it. He stayed until I was 100% satisfied. Everything was "sure, no problem" with anything I wanted him to try or change. He had a smile on the entire time. His worker that was with him was friendly and nice as well. I was blown away by them. I was super impressed. He sent me an estimate with a detailed list with everything on there, including a discount for being an Angie's List Member. He went above and beyond with how friendly and nice he was, with calling back and being on time. I highly recommend Blazer Electric. I am having him back again to do some more work for me.
Description of Work: He installed and mounted a 55 inch flat screen television, including new electric lines and new electrical boxes by drilling through the walls.

When I first spoke with Jack he was very professional and was able to schedule a time to come out within two weeks (would have been even sooner if my schedule was more flexible). He called the night before to confirm and arrived exactly at the scheduled time. He and his helper explained everything as they went along and asked us things like did we want the fan hanging lower or higher, and did we want the decorative metal extensions on the outside lights. We greatly appreciated this rather than having them make assumptions.
Description of Work: Replaced a ceiling fan with light in the master bedroom and also replaced outside lights by the garage and the front door.

I called several Electric Companies to have work done in the house. Blazer Electric was extremely prompt. Not only did they come the next day to check out what needs to be done but within a day I received an Estimate.. AND two days later the owner called to followup on the estimate. Their price was extremely reasonable and we decided to use Blazer. I called to setup a time for them to come to do the work and they came within two days. They came promptly at the time they said and worked quickly and cleanly. They did find bad wiring within the house and explained how they will correct it.. It set them back on their time a full 1/2 day but only charged me an additional $125 for that!! Wow! Once that was corrected they put in brand new wiring for two ceiling fans (one in a two story family room), a chandelier, a wall light and an outlet on a separate circuit. They were clean, professional and extremely reasonable. Jack Blazer explained everything to me and even explained to me what light bulbs to use for our track lighting and new fixtures. I highly recommend Blazer Electric to everyone we know. They were wonderful! We will definitely use them again!!!
Description of Work: New wiring for two ceiling fans and chandelier. Changing switches in bathroom. Added outlet on one circuit in basement. Changed switches in kitchen, family room to be more intuitive.

After reviewing Angie's List, and checking with several other firms, I chose Jack B. and his group. They showed up when they said they would. Worked efficiently and professionally, Although the final bill exceeded their original estimate, because I kept adding to their work, they were very fair in their final charges. They cleaned up when they were finished and I was very pleased with the work. The work took longer because I kept coming up with additional things to be done, so hey had to come back several days later to finish. It was hot to be working in the attic, but they did not complain. I recommend them strongly.
Description of Work: Installed 2 ceiling fans, 1 attic fan, multiple can lights, bathroom exhaust/heater fans, 3 bathroom decorative lights. Both replacements and new installations.

I called Jack after finding him on Angie's List yesterday morning. He answered his phone at 6:50 AM- which surprised me- I was going to leave a message. He said he'd be over at 7 AM today and his 2 guys were. He came a little after they diagnosed the problems. They removed their shoes, cleaned up after themselves, were respectful, professional and fast. The price was very fair, and Jack gave us a discount since we went through Angie's List. I would highly recommend Jack for anyone needing electrical work! My only regret is that I didn't find him sooner. Great job - thanks Jack and thanks Angie's List!!
Description of Work: Replaced 3 circuit breakers, one outlet and one closet light.

He was great. This was the third electrician that we've had at our house in the last year, and we've finally found someone who charges an honest price and does a good, efficient job. We were able to schedule him a few days after calling. He came out on Saturday morning and spent about an hour or so trying to determine what went wrong with the wiring in one of our lights. They were able to fix it and he mentioned that if we have problems with it again, we will need to replace the wiring. We will definitely be calling him in the future when we decide to update the wiring in our basement. I highly recommend him.

Jack was a little late but deducted some from the bill for that. He also gave us the Angie's list discount so I'd bet this cost us about 60% of what another provider would have charged. Jack found the problem fast. Oddly enough it was with a different outlet in the same room. He not only fixed my problem outlet but made all 3 outlets in the room the same with the wall switch controlling the right side in each case. He was pleasant, fast moving and accomplished the job with no issues at all. I was very happy with the service.

The whole experience was positive. From the day Jack came out and estimated the job until a week later when he and his team came out to perform the work, it was a pleasant process all the way through. The crew was polite, professional and neat. They clean up after themselves and did a wonderful job and didn't cut any corners. Highly recommended Blazer Electric and I will be calling them again soon for additional electric work.

Jack's team did a great job. The were punctual, professional and hard working. It was a pleasure to work with Jack. He took the time to explain our options to us and really made us feel like we were making informed decisions. It was a big job and we made some changes as things went along. Jack was very flexible and his pricing was always very fair. We would recommend him highly. We are planning an addition and we plan on subbing the electrical work to Jack.

We schedule for Blazer to install a new light fixture in two closets. At the very last minute the night before (at 12 midnight!), we had to cancel the appointment because our dog had been hit by a car earlier in the day and had run away, keeping us up all night. Our appointment had been scheduled for 7 a.m., so we called, thinking we would leave a message, asking to change the appointment. They answered and were so understanding. Fortunately, our dog came home unscathed at 3 a.m., and Blazer came out a few days later. They did a great job and were very kind.
Description of Work: They were very, very nice, and did a great job. I would definitely use them again and recommend them highly to others.

I had an electrical fire in my house. It was a florescent light fixture with a ballast. My house is over 50 years old. The fire department came and I asked the fireman if I should have an electrician come out and he said yes. Blazer came out within two hours and he didn't charge me all that much for the emergency that it was. He looked around and asked if there was anything else that he could do for me. He helped me put in some bulbs and he didn't want to charge me anything. He charged by the hour and he didn't want to leave early, which I thought was really nice. The price was good because it was an emergency and he didn?t gouge me. I would absolutely use this company again and I told him that I would call him first when I need work done.

I asked several companies on the list for quotes. I chose Jack not only because his quote was the most reasonable, but because he went the extra mile discovering all of the issues and bringing them to my attention. After I accepted his estimate, his service was prompt and efficient. I feel that I got exceptional service at a very fair price.
