I reached out to Scott Nelson to see if he had availability that week. He returned my email in a matter of minutes and came to see me the next morning. It turns out one of the outlets was cracked in two and the other didn't work because of it. Scott replaced both outlets. He is friendly, professional, skilled. A real expert. I highly recommend him.
Description of Work: I heard a loud vibrating noise come out of an electrical outlet. I wondered if a chipmunk had bitten through the wires.

One 9/24/17 I had them install outdoor lighting in a 30' x 30' fenced-in dog exercise area. They ran conduit for the wiring and installed the flood-light fixtures I wanted, along with installing 2 more coach lights on the house and outdoor switches to control everything. Scott Nelson was terrific to work with. He was prompt in getting back to my initial query, came out very soon to discuss the project and give me a detailed proposal. We scheduled the project for 2 months later to take advantage of my slow period. Scott is an excellent communicator and answered all my emails and follow-ups promptly. Two of his guys, Ben & Eric, came out to do the work. Scott met with them at my house that morning to be sure they understood the job and to discuss some minor changes I wanted. They showed up when they said they would and everything about the work day proved them to be very professional, skilled, friendly, and easy to work with. They also did a great job cleaning up after the project. -- other than the new lights, you'd never have known they'd set foot on the place. The job they did for me was exceptionally well done. I could not be happier with the completed job and with the entire process of working with them, start to finish. I would highly recommend them to neighbors, friends and family. Added note 7/3/18: Doing business with Scott Nelson Electric has turned out to the the nicest experience I’ve ever had with ANY service company. When they installed permanent outdoor lighting in my gravel yard last September I could not have been happier with how it turned out. I use it every night of the year, several times each night and it makes the area I work in with the dogs safe and well-lit. When I discovered one of the lengths of conduit had a small split in the seam due to a manufacturing defect, I contacted them. The split was letting rain water into the conduit. I so appreciate that they were willing to come out and fix the problem right away, no charge. I am very grateful that they stood behind their work and were so responsive. These days we hear too many complaints about things and when something goes right, no one says a word. Well, things went right today and I am very happy that I chose to go with such a reputable and professional company. Thank you so much! I will do whatever I can to spread the good word.

work done was great but was just surprised at the cost. i had used them before and price was reasonable so this time i assumed would still be reasonable and didn't ask ahead of time which is completely my fault. i felt price was high and will be more thorough in my research next time. lesson learned but no complaint about their work at all.

Scott was extremely responsive to our inquiry, emailing us back less than an hour after we sent him our email. He quoted the costs involved and gave us the option of purchasing the replacement units ourselves or having them supply them. Work was scheduled at a time and date that was convenient for us. The installer arrived on time and was neat, thorough and explained what he was doing every step of the way and answered all of our questions asked. Scott has a very professional organization that does an outstanding job at reasonable cost.

I can't say enough about Scott Nelson and his company, Scott Nelson Electric. Scott recently did work installing a GFI receptacle near our pier to allow us to safely transmit power to our boat lift. The work was done quickly and well -- but on our first visit to the house, an intermittent short unrelated to Scott's work had caused a loss of power, leaving us unable to operate the lift. I called Scott on a Saturday -- and he was out within 30 minutes to help solve the problem. He's extremely knowledgeable, personable, and has truly outstanding customer service. I would highly recommend him and look forward to using him on other projects.

Very good. Scott came out for estimate right away, scheduled the job for the next week. Two workers, very helpful and explained issues, efficient. If something wasn't necessary, they credited the cost and/ or did some other work in its place. Didn't waste time. Came and did the work and didn't mind my questions.

Communication throughout was excellent. Scott came over on short notice, assessed the job, and came back with a quote the same day. Once I pulled the trigger, a two man crew arrived to the job on the agreed date and time. JR and Derek walked through the basement with me to ensure they understood the full scope of what I needed, and continued to work with me for the next day and a half to ensure the pipes and boxes were out of the way, so my work on the basement could continue. In all, the work was completed extremely professionally, on time and for a fair price. 100% professional job, would recommend them to anyone.

They did a great job. They called to let me know they were running about 30 minutes late. Cleaned up any mess they made. They were very prompt and polite.
Description of Work: Came out and gave a fair price and redid a ground fault plug with two switches in the kitchen. The electrician Taylor and his apprentice Derrek came out. They had to go up and down the stairs to the basement to the electrical panel.
