ceiling fans, lighting
 + 0 moreSTEVE, WHO SEEMS TO ESSENTIALLY WORK ALONE, IS VERY PERSONABLE AND PLEASANT TO DEAL WITH. HE CAME TO OUR HOME FOR AN IN-PERSON ESTIMATE, WHICH YOU DON'T ALWAYS GET WITH SMALL JOBS. HE GAVE US GOOD, COMMON SENSE ADVICE, AND DID NOT TRY TO OVERSELL ANYTHING. THE WORK HE DID WAS GOOD, AND WHEN THE FIRST DIMMER SWITCH HE PUT IN, FOR OUR KITCHEN LIGHT, DID NOT WORK, HE PROMPTLY REPLACED IT. BECAUSE STEVE IS BASICALLY A ONE-MAN COMPANY, HE SOMETIMES ARRIVES LATE TO START A JOB.
Description of Work: INSTALL DIMMER SWITCH AND NEW LIGHT FIXTURE IN KITCHEN, INSTALL TWO CEILING FANS, INSTALL DIGITAL THERMOSTAT.

electrician
 + -1 moreI LIVE IN LAKEVIEW AND THE ELECTRICIAN LEFT FOR OVER AN HOUR TO GET SUPPLIES. WE WERE WONDERING WHERE HE HAD TO GO, WE HAVE SEVERAL HARDWARE AND ELECTRIC STORES IN THE AREA. THE FLUORESCENT LIGHT HE FIXED STOPPED WORKING AFTER A FEW DAYS. I HAD TO GO OUT OF TOWN AND CALLED THEM WHEN I GOT BACK. IT TOOK A FEW DAYS TO GET A HOLD OF THEM AND THEY SENT THE SAME ELECTRICIAN, WHO IN A CONDESCENDING WAY TOLD ME ALL I HAD TO DO WAS TO CHANGE THE LIGHT BULBS AND THAT THE ONES I HAD GIVEN HIM THE LAST TIME WEREN'T GOOD. HE CHANGED THEM USING ANOTHER 2 OF MY LIGHT BULBS! 5 MIN. AFTER LEAVING HE RANG THE DOOR BELL WITH ANOTHER $95 BILL WHICH I REFUSED TO PAY. THIS TIME THE LIGHT LASTED HALF A DAY. I CALLED THEM BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THEM COME OUT AGAIN. WE WERE TALKING ON A CELL PHONE AND WERE DISCONNECTED NEEDLESS TO SAY, I DIDN'T CALL BACK NOR DID THEY! I CANNOT RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE.
Description of Work: I HAD 4 THINGS DONE IN THE HOUSE: REPAIRS TO TWO LIGHT-SWITCHES AND TWO LIGHTS, ONE BEING A FLUORESCENT.

electrician
 + -1 moreI HAD WORK DONE BY THEM ONCE BEFORE. THEY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB AND THE PRICE WAS REASONABLE. THIS TIME I WAS BLOWING CIRCUITS FOR MY MICROWAVE. THEY CAME OUT AND TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD RUN ANOTHER LINE INTO THE CIRCUIT BOX FOR THE MICROWAVE. WE DIDN'T DISCUSS PRICE, BECAUSE THE FIRST TIME THEY DID WORK FOR ME THEY WERE REASONABLE. WITH THIS JOB I FELT THAT FOR 5 HOURS WORK THEY WERE EXPENSIVE. I SPOKE WITH THE OWNER AND THIS WAS THE PRICE THAT THEY STUCK WITH. I DON'T THINK I WOULD CALL THEM IN A A SMALL JOB AGAIN. MAYBE THEY ARE BETTER WITH LARGER JOBS.
Description of Work: ADDED ANOTHER CIRCUIT FOR MICROWAVE OVEN.

electrician
 + -1 moreI HAVE TWO DISHWASHERS AND WHEN I RUN THEM BOTH I TRIP THE CIRCUIT. IMMEDIATELY AFTER LOOKING AT CIRCUIT BOX HE DECIDED TO SPIT THE POWER SOURCE. THEY WERE ABLE TO FIX THE SUPPLY LINE PLACING THE DISHWASHERS ON SEPARATE LINES. THEY ALSO INSTALLED THREE NEW CIRCUIT BREAKERS TO MANAGE THE ELECTRIC FLOW IN AN EXERCISE ROOM. HE FOUND THAT THE TRANSFORMER IN THE CAN LIGHT HAD BURNED OUT AND HAS ORDERED A NEW TRANSFORMER. ALL OF THIS WORK TOOK ONLY 2 HRS. THE OWNER, STEVE, DID ALL THE WORK ALONG WITH AN ASSISTANT. VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND INTELLIGENT!! THIS IS THE THIRD ELECTRICIAN I HAVE HAD OUT TO ASSESS THE PROBLEM WITH THE DISHWASHERS AND THE ONLY ONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM IN SUCH A SIMPLE FASHION.
Description of Work: 40 FT OF WIRE WAS RUN TO FIX A PROBLEM WE HAD WITH THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY LINES, DIAGNOSED PROBLEM WITH A RECESSED CAN LIGHT, AND INSTALLED THREE CIRCUIT BREAKERS.

 + -1 moreIT TURNED OUT THAT OUR WIRING WAS VERY OLD AND POORLY INSTALLED SO IT TOOK THEM 5 TIMES AS LONG AS EXPECTED. THEY WERE VERY PATIENT, EXPLAINED THE PROBLEMS TO US AND DID NOT CHARGE US FOR THE FULL TIME. THEY ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT WE REWIRE THE SECOND FLOOR BECAUSE IT WAS CURRENTLY UNSAFE. HOWEVER THEY MADE NO PRESSURE SALES PITCH AND LEFT THE DECISION UP TO US. ARRIVED ON TIME AND LET THEMSELVES OUT. ALSO CLEANED UP AS MUCH AS CAN BE EXPECTED.

 + -1 moreTHIS COMPANY WILL NOT RETURN MY PHONE CALLS TO FINISH THE JOB.
Description of Work: THEY INSTALLED THREE GFCI SWITCHES, FIXED TWO THREE-WAY CIRCUITS, INSTALLED A LIGHT FIXTURE. THEY COMPLETED MOST OF THE WORK, BUT, I HAD TO CALL THEM BACK LATER IN THE DAY TO TELL THEM THAT A COMPLEX FOUR-WAY CIRCUIT STILL WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. STEVE SMITH INDICATED THAT HE WOULD RETURN ON FRIDAY MORNING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. HE DID NOT CALL OR ARRIVE ON FRIDAY. I CALLED HIS CELL PHONE ON SATURDAY, AND HE INDICATED THAT HE HAD SAID HE WOULD ARRIVE ON SATURDAY MORNING. HE INDICATED THAT HE WAS FINISHING A JOB AND WOULD BE OVER SHORTLY. FOUR HOURS LATER I CALLED HIM AGAIN, BUT NOW HE WILL NOT ANSWER MY CALLS. I'VE CALLED HIM SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN AND HE WILL NOT RESPOND TO MY CALLS OR CALL BACK. INTERESTINGLY, THEY WERE ABLE TO QUICKLY CHARGE MY CREDIT CARD, ALTHOUGH THE CHARGE NAME IS "A AND P SERVICE CORP" RATHER THAN CUSTOM ELECTRIC. I SUPPOSE I SHOULD HAVE SUSPECTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WHEN IT TOOK THEM SEVERAL WEEKS OF NO CALL BACKS TO SET UP THE ORIGINAL APPOINTMENT.
