I really liked him. He was really good and thorough. He explained everything. He came exactly when he said he was going to come. The job took multiple days and each day he showed up when he said he was going to. He was very pleasant to work with.
Description of Work: He rewired lighting fixtures and a fan in my great room. He also put in dimmer switches. He moved one switch from the basement to our upstairs and installed an additional outlet for me. The Big Deal I had purchased was for a whole house surge protector which they installed at the same time. I continued the work after the Big Deal because of the work they had done.

Great! We had Paul come to do the estimate and he was able to make it early so he did both the estimate and the work in about 2 hours. he was also really helpful in talking through some options based on their effectiveness and price.
Description of Work: Paul did a number of small jobs, he relocated some electronics for our septic alarm to a more convenient location, replaced a GFI breaker for our whirlpool bath, replaced a number of GFI outlets and installed a new one, rewired an outlet that had an exposed opening for a non-existent light switch and added a wall plate for an exposed coaxial cable.

Kelly arrived during the 1 hr window we had been told and he performed the purchased electrical service. After installing the surge protector, he explained how it worked and answered our questions. He put on shoe protectors (blue booties) as soon as he entered our front door to protect my flooring and carpets - loved this! Pleasant experience! We will use Rein Electric again.
Description of Work: Performed an Angie's List "Big Deal" whole house surge protection and electrical panel safety check.

Had a very good experience. Was given a two hour window when electrician would show up. Was called promptly the morning the work was to be done and given an exact time they would show up. Electrician was clean, courteous and explained what he was doing. He was up front with the cost and how long the work would take. Cleaned up after himself and solved all my problems. Did all this in under the promised time. Plus I was given a discount for being an Angie's list member!

I was thrilled with the work. They were punctual and great with communication. I especially appreciated the attention to detail. One of the drum light fixtures had a vertical seam on it and he made sure that the seam was facing a direction that was barely visible from the main thoroughfare. He gave me his opinion on the location of the track lights, pointing out the reason for his opinion. He also recommended the length of the wire for positioning the drums lights at the right height. Ultimately it was my decision where I wanted the lights to go, but he was right-on with his recommendations. The lights changes made a huge difference, especially the track lights. They make the living/dining room more usable.
Description of Work: We had five new ceiling and wall mount fixtures put in. We also replaced five ceiling flush mount fixtures with in ceiling can lights. And we had them install a track system on a 20 ft ceiling. They helped me to pick out the best track lights for the room with high ceilings and were very knowledgeable about the various brands of LED lights.

I was very pleased. I was able to set up an appointment quickly, and the technician arrived promptly. He was clean, courteous and very professional. He assembled the ceiling fan (it was still in the box), wired the room so that the wall switch controlled the fan, and also attached a remote I had purchased to operate the fan. When he was done with the work, he cleaned up the area, and showed me how to operate the fan and the remote. He completed the work very quickly, too. I was so pleased with the work that I asked him for an estimate on some other work in my home. I would definitely use this company again.
Description of Work: I purchased one of the Angie's List coupons for installation of a ceiling fan in my master bedroom. I didn't have an existing fixture where I wanted the fan, so I also had to have an electrical box installed in the room.

Description of Work: We used Rein Electric to do some electrical work for us. They put in some lighting in our bathroom. They came out recently because we were having an issue with our exterior lighting. They came out for free to take a look at that and they helped us fix that at no charge.

We had several issues with lights in our home and decided to find someone that could help us fix them. We did not know anyone in this field, so we joined Angie's list to find someone to help us. We looked through the electrical contractors and read the reviews and decided to contact Rein Electric. We called and spoke to a woman in their office. We set up an appointment for the following week. The technician would come at 7:00 am on September 19th. He would give us a price and, if we chose to, he would complete the work that day as well. Paul arrived at exactly 7:00 am and, after looking at the different things, gave me a price. He said he thought all of the problems we had were due to really old switches and not any wiring issues. I told him to go ahead. He finished the work in about an hour. We thought it would be much more expensive, but it was under $200.00. Paul was a pleasure to have in our house and it is wonderful to have everything working correctly. I would certainly recommend Rein Electric to anyone I knew that needed electrical work done. It was a great first experience with Angie's List.
Description of Work: We had several lights that did not work and two can lights that bulbs burnt out very quickly.

Initial phone call to Anthony at Rein- Explaining the issue that we were experiencing went extremely well, and I asked for Saturday service. Anthony said he would check to see if any of his employees were available on Saturday. Chris called me on Saturday morning to say he had a job within 15 miles of my house that he needed to do and would let me know if he could make it to my house before 4:00 p.m. Chris called at approximately at 12:45 and said he would be at my door in a half hour. Right on time!! Chris assessed the issue, and went to work and roughly 1 hr and 15 minutes later the job was complete, and this job was done in a finished basement with a drop ceiling. Chris is a true professional and a very courteous individual. In my opinion, communication and working with the customer is first and foremost when it comes to contractor professionalism. Rein exhibits both of these attributes. I now have an electrical company that I will certainly use again, and highly recommend to others.
Description of Work: Upgraded an outlet (15 amp) which is is used for the washer and dryer to it's own dedicated 20 amp breaker. In order to do so new, new wires needed to be pulled to accommodate the amperage difference.

Great service from first call to completed projects! Rochelle helped with our first call with questions and was able to schedule our project with a week, and provided us with a rough price quote over the phone. When the 3-man team arrived, they were helpful, friendly, didn't mind the noise from kids and dogs, and gave good, common sense-type advice. Before they started to work, Kelly went over a detailed price quote, which was very reasonable for all the work to be done. The guys went right to work and six hours later all our projects were done, and done very well. Now that this work is off our "do list", we're ready to get going on the next project, and will not consider any other electricians other than Rein Electric. So glad to have found them on Angie's List!
Description of Work: One light/ceiling fan installed in stairway, one light/ceiling fan in Master Bedroom with vaulted ceiling, one light/ceiling fan installed in 2-story foyer, and one ceiling fan installed in guest bedroom that required additional wiring. Ballast replaced in basement light fixture.

Scheduling was great! They offered a day (2 days out from when I was calling to schedule), but I wasn't available, so they offered to come out the next day (1 day service). Electrician (Paul) arrived on time, introduced himself, and I showed him to the electrical panel in our basement. He showed me the surge protector and how and where he wanted to install it before he started the install. He installed the surge protector in under 20 mins, and then walked me through what he was looking for while inspecting the panel. He told me that my panel looked great, and that he didn't see any problems with anything. He asked if I needed anything else done, and I asked him for an estimate on installing a light fixture (that I had already purchased) in my stairway. He brought his ladder in, took some measurements, looked at the light fixture, and then did some math. I accepted his estimate and he started work. He carefully measured out the chain supplied with the fixture and remeasured 2 or 3 more times before holding up the fixture and asking me if I was ok with the placement height. I said it was ok, and he went to work. In under 30 mins, he had the fixture wired and installed. He was very friendly and courteous the entire time he was here, and was happy to answer any questions I had.

All the work was done excellently--totally professional, punctual and quickly without sacrificing quality. The guys were knowledgeable, polite and clean--meaning they did not track dirt into the house and were careful to put covers on their boots. A small thing, but it really indicates that these guys care. Top-notch service. They even made a return trip to address a related issue and make a small repair that was outside the scope of the initial job. We will definitely enlist the services of Rein again for future upgrades--such as interior light design. I recommend them without reservation.
Description of Work: Rein Electric did an upgrade to our electrical service, replacing an out-of-date box/panel with a modern one. In addition, they checked polarity on all outlets and upgraded several that required it. Converted some outside receptacles to GCFI types. They also performed some basic mortar repair that needed to be done as a result of upgrading the panel.
