McCoy seemed like a respectable individual however post payment his true self was revealed. He did not finish a job and when I called to update him on the problems he was rude and hung the phone up mid conversation. Be cautious.

He came out twice. When he removed the transformer, he noticed the basement wall was wet. My son came over to remove ice buildup on roof. That visit was $80. He came back out to replace transformer, etc, and billed for 180. He gives a discount for cash.
Description of Work: replaced doorbell transformer, installed new doorbell, replaced light switch in kitchen, and mounted ceiling light in dining room

The experience with Steve McCoy was stressful and made me feel very uncomfortable. Steve called on the day of the appointment and wanted to come by 2 hours earlier than was scheduled because he said he was in the neighborhood and I accommodated him. When he arrived I showed his to the basement. Right off the back he was talking loud and telling me how bad things were. That same old scare tactic. He was very unprofessional! While in the basement he proceeded to go upstairs without waiting for me to direct him which made me very uncomfortable. Not only that I was still asking him questions regarding things in the basement. He was not listening to what I was saying that I wanted done. He was to busy telling me how bad things were and that I needed my whole house re-wired, without examining any wires in the basement. Then he went on to bad mouth other electricians which speaks to his character. What really did it for me was Steve showed no respect for my home. When he showed himself upstairs he walked all over my beautiful and expensive rug with his dirty, muddy shoes. Once upstairs he was all over the place walking from room to room running his dirty hands across the walls telling me how he was going to have to bust out the walls to re-wire. At this point I was really uncomfortable and opened the door and thanked him and told him to send me an estimate so he would know it time to go. He wrote down his estimate on the back of his business card. His estimate was 2 times higher than the other 6 estimates I received. I would not let him in my house let alone hire him to do work for me.
Description of Work: Asked McCoy for an estimate for service upgrade and to change from fuse electrical system to circuit breaker electrical system.

It was a good experience. I don't have anything negative to say. He told me what I needed and gave me the choice of taking it or not. He was very friendly. When he finish his work he told me what he did and I was satisfied. He had to do a little extra so the price was a little bit more but it was no problem. I was very pleased with the service.

St eve originally came out on Weds. for an estimate .We agreed on a price and Steve said he would start Tues. and the job would take 3 to 4 days.He called Mon. and said he had a custome with a emergency and asked if he could push my job back 1 day.He also said he would bring a second eleclrician so the job could be finished in the original time frame.I had no problem with this.Early the next morning Steve and Dennis arrived and went immediately to work.Both men were professional and went to extrodinary efforts to minimize any inconvenience for my disabled sister who lives at the residence .They did a great job of keeping the floors clean and clear of clutter even while working in a given room so she wouldn't have difficuty getting around .I couldn't have asked anything more of these guys and would hire them again or reccomend them in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: Fully rewire my mothers small 2 bedroom home. Replaced all exsisting wiring,outlets,switches and fixture connections .Added 5 cicuit and repaired misc. items as necessary. Also replaced 2 yard fixtures at no additional charge.

I found out that he did unnecessary work. When attending the State Fair in Springfield, IL, I found out from the electrians unions that a lightening rod to the water pipe was unsafe. He also put in a third electric meter for a two-unit home. He also made a comment that the price is the cost of a vacation; which I have not been on for over ten years. I would not recommend this company.
Description of Work: He changed the house from fuse boxes to circuit breakers and did unnecessary work.

I have no problem paying a premium for licensed professionals to make sure the properties I manage are safe and well-maintained. Especially when it comes to electrical systems, but I hate being played a fool. I've had entire houses re-wired for less than what McCoy wanted to charge for a partial repair. He never took the cover off the electrical boxes to see that they were older but clean & well-maintained. He never looked at the problematic lights and switches to see if they could be fixed on the spot. This was my first attempt to source someone through Angies List. It was not a good first experience. If this is what I can expect, then there's still no substitute for personal networking.
Description of Work: I had some lights and switches that were causing problems in an old building in which the prior owners did a lot of homemade repairs. We wanted an electrician to come out, troubleshoot & resolve the problem, take a look at the wiring for any immediate causes for concern, and give us an opinion of the overall condition of the system. Without trying to diagnose any problems, McCoy wrote a $3400 bid on the back of a postcard to replace two electrical boxes and do a partial re-wire of one unit. He graciously told us he was giving us a $150 discount. He said he could start the work in 2 weeks, and in the meantime, the tenants shouldn't use the 2-3 lights/switches that were acting up. We brought in another licensed electrician who diagnosed and fixed our problems on the spot, inspected the electrical, and advised us of what did & did not warrant future repair. The cost was $125, and the time was less than McCoy took to write the bid.

ON 5/31, I CALLED AT 9:00. THEY RETURNED THE CALL AT 9:45. THEY SENT AN ESTIMATOR ON 6/1 AND HE WAS VERY PROMPT. I CALLED ON 6/6 TO SCHEDULE THE WORK. NO RETURN CALL. I CALLED TWICE ON 6/7. NO RETURN CALL. IF THESE COMPANIES DON'T WANT TO DO THE WORK, WHY DON'T THEY JUST SAY SO? WHEN WE START DOING MAJOR WORK, THIS COMPANY WILL BE ON THE ''DO NOT CALL'' LIST! OVERALL EXPERIENCE: LOUSY.

Description of Work: I CALLED SEEKING A FREE ESTIMATE AND SPOKE WITH WADE. AFTER ASKING SEVERAL QUESTIONS, HE WAS 95% CONFIDENT THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE EXTERNALLY WITH THE CONNECTION TO THE HOUSE. HE RECOMMENDED I FIRST ELIMINATE THAT POSSIBILITY BY HAVING THE ELECTRIC COMPANY COME OUT. AFTER DETERMINING IT WAS NOT AN EXTERNAL PROBLEM, I CALLED WADE WITH THE RESULTS AND HE MENTIONED A SOLUTION AND AN APPROXIMATE COST. WHEN I ASKED TO SET AN APPOINTMENT, HE ASKED MY ADDRESS AND DETERMINED MY LOCATION WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THEIR SERVICE AREA SINCE IT HAD CHANGED. NEVERTHELESS, HE REITERATED WHAT THE LIKELY SOLUTION WAS AND EMPHASIZED THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY. ALTHOUGH I COULD NOT GIVE MCCOY MY BUSINESS, I TRULY APPRECIATED THE INTEREST SHOWN AND THE TIME TAKEN TO DISCUSS THE PROBLEM. I RECOMMEND OTHERS CONSIDER WORKING WITH MCCOY.
