Went fine - he did what I asked. However, in bedroom, his replacing the outlet did not solve my problem of electric disconnecting when plugs are touched. He didn't give any advice about what I should do - said the wiring is probably so old - did not indicate he would/could remedy this.
Description of Work: Changed light on porch to sensor light; replaced 1 electrical outlet and one light switch. Light in garage didn't work until he installed the new light switch. Wanted bedroom outlet replaced since when you touch anything plugged in it disconnects the electric, i.e. clock starts flashing, etc. He did put new outlet in but the problem was not fixed - still disconnects when you touch plugs.

I purchased two $75 deals worth $150 and gave Jeff a call. We made an appointment and he was prompt on arrival. I explained to him all of the little tasks I had in mind and he went right to work and moved very quickly. He discussed options with me as necessary, and overall was very easy to work with. I will definitely call him again if I have any electrical needs.

I really had a great experience working with Jeff.
Description of Work: Could not fix the problem. He has to come back in January to fix the problem. Jeff hooked up my basement light correctly after as I was in need for him to fix a bad job done by another. He made sure that everything was up to code, now I have every switch connected.

Jeff is great and I am already planning to use him again. He showed up on time, performed the work diligently and in the time he estimated and is a really nice guy to work with! He is sensitive to concerns about cost, but also gives you a realistic assessment of the time it will take him to finish a job. I heartily recommend him.

Jeff was exactly what I was looking for in an electrician...economical, fast and willing to work w/ a "know-it-all" homeowner. I'm an ambitious DIYer and two of my lighting circuits just would not function as intended. I walked Jeff through the issues and existing wiring...in great detail...and he politely listened. We drew a few wiring diagrams and set a mutually designed plan into action. Jeff did everything himself...quickly and quietly. He was done in less than four hours.
Description of Work: Jeff corrected two incorrectly installed (by me) three-way switched lighting circuits in my adjoining living and dining rooms. Jeff used new and existing wiring to correct the issue and all is now working as intended.

My experience with Jeff was great. He scheduled the work right away (exceptionally fast, actually), arrived when he said he would, and did a fine job installing some light fixtures and replacing outlets. He's also easygoing and accessible. I'd definitely use him again for electrical work.

I contacted Jeff in regards to some electrical work that was requested by the buyer for my house: Installing GFI outlets, rewiring some other outlets, and capping off an old electrical box. I selected Jeff based upon the positive reviews on Angie's List and his proximity to my house. We agreed upon a day for him to look at the work that needed to be done, and he arrived that day as promised. As his estimate was very reasonable, I hired Jeff to do the work, which he agreed to do a few days later after he bought the required items. He arrived on time again to complete the work and did an excellent job with each of the tasks, even though some of the outlets required quite a bit of work. I was so pleased with Jeff's work and his very laid-back and personable style that I have already had him come to my new house to assist me with bigger projects such as properly grounding my electrical box and labeling the circuit breakers. Jeff spent over an hour inspecting various aspects of my electrical system and helped me to prioritize things based upon risk. I plan to have Jeff complete all of the work needed in my house, and then to take on the electrical mess in my garage too.

We've now had Jeff do work for us at least four times (we had work done on the house we moved out of, and the one we are now in). I found Jeff on Angie's List and called him after having been stood up by two larger electrical service companies who said they would come--it was clear that our job wasn't big enough to be a priority for them, but they weren't willing to say no up front. Jeff came and did the work in a timely way for much less than I was expecting to pay. Because he's an individual provider, it may be necessary to spend a bit of time negotiating an appointment time that works for everyone, but it's well worth it. Jeff is reliable and does excellent work. Jeff's done a range of work for us, including installing bathroom vent fans, ceiling lights, dimmer switches, and GCFI outlets. He's also repaired wiring that was damaged when another installer cut through a conduit. One of the things I appreciate about Jeff is that it's clear he doesn't see any job as too small to be beneath his attention, or too small to be worth doing well. He's also extremely trustworthy: because of my schedule, I've needed to leave him in the house for hours at a time, and have never felt any hesitatation in doing so. I recommend him highly.

We were off to a rocky start b/c of his schedule and it being cold season, but once we rescheduled all went well.
Description of Work: He performed the inspection that we purchased online. In addition he changed a couple of outlets from two to three prongs, fixed a hallway lightswitch we've had problems with, and installed a new thermostat (hence the additional amount paid which is minimal). Later he will install a ceiling fan and fix two overhead lights in our basement. He may not be able to correct the wiring problems b/c he doesn't have a Chicago permit, but we have faith he can set us in the right direction.

I was able to speak with Jeff on the phone once. We went over the project that I needed while on the phone. He said he was booked up so we didn't set up an appointment. I told him that I would send him pictures of the project so he would know what I was looking to have him do. He never responded to any of the e-mails. I have since had my husband do some of the work and requested a refund.

Overall the project was seamless. We had to compromise on the position of the light fixture due to logistics but otherwise we were satisfied with the outcome.

Jeff came in and quickly diagnosed that neither the conduit nor the junction box was actually live. The meter I was using was giving me a false positive on current running through them. He actually discovered the conduit was cut off inside the walls so they definitely were not live. He also replaced my new switch. He was meticulous enough that when he was done, all of the screw heads were exactly straight up and down.
Description of Work: I had some conduit in the basement that had some exposed wires. One of them was live, and there was a junction box nearby that was live as well. I wanted a light switch changed out as well.

Jeff was very honest with me. I need two thermostats replaced and although that wasn't his speciality, he felt that he could install them. When he arrived, he was able to reach out to a friend of his (heating and air/con guy that was able to walk Jeff through the installation). To be on the safe side, I had maintenance from the building give us his opinion and once that was sorted out, Jeff installed the thermostats without any problems. In fact, one of the wires was wired backwards and Jeff made sure that the issue was sorted correctly so the thermostats would operate as they should. I would definitely use Jeff for any electrical services I needed.

Excellent. The issue was identified and provided a working electrical outlet / switch and identified a remaining issue to repair when the weather is warmer.
Description of Work: Jeff arrived as scheduled and inspected the issue - what looked like a short in a garage outlet and light switch combination. After inspection, he found the cable from inside the house to external junction box / cable had an issue at the junction point. To repair it, he pulled new wires to the outside junction box from the inside breaker box, as well as replaced cloth-covered wire in the garage from the external junction box to the garage outlet and light switch combination. He rewired the connections in the garage outlet box and repaired the issue so the lights and garage door opener worked again. There is a remaining issue - expected to be a ground point with the remaining cloth-covered wire, in the garage. In the Spring, we plan to replace the remaining cloth-covered wire between the junction box and the other garage outlets.

This was a wonderful experience. Jeff fit me into his very busy schedule and was professional, prompt, and communicative about what needed to happen and why. I would definitely use him again and have already given a friend his name for some wiring work with an outlet that doesn't work.
Description of Work: Jeff spoke with me by phone and I described how the light and light fixture in my bedroom closet was not working. He bought a new fixture with my permission and installed it in the bedroom closet, then gave me tips for how to prevent the burnout of the new fixture.

The single dimmer switch was installed easily. The combo dimmer switch provided some difficulty and will need a follow up viist to complete. The wine cooler was not his expertise. Very punctual and quick to reply to my appointment request. Also took the time to get supplies after assessing my electrical needs.

Description of Work: Purchaed an Angie's List coupon in August 2012 for electrical service. In the last few months, have called the company but have not received a call back. Finally was able to reach Jeff and we had a very pleasant conversation. I will be calling him next month to arrange for the work.

Jeff started by replacing our priority item, the light switch in the bathroom which was causing overheating. He then moved on to replace about 6 other wall outlets. Finally he constructed the ceiling fan and installed that in the master bedroom. He was neat and clean and finished in the anticipated amount of time. Good job overall.
