It went great! I called him early in the morning and he made an appointment in the late afternoon and the repairs were done by early evening.
Description of Work: A fixture shorted out in our crawl space and impacted a receptacle in another part of the crawl space. Scott determined what the problem was in less than 30 minutes and made the necessary repairs in less than an hour. The problem he fixed was impacting our downstairs bathroom, security system and sump pump.

There is not one overall price; it is more ala carte where we can pick and choose. I liked that he broke it down so we could eliminate going over budget. We had two other estimates and I talked to several other companies. He seemed like he knew what he was doing and he gave me good suggestions. His price was competitive. I really liked his professionalism.
Description of Work: We are going to be using Scott Nelson Electric for electrical, recessed lighting, installing some ceiling fans in the bedrooms and hanging and changing out some lights. He is starting next weekend.

I called Scott and was pleased to have him answer the phone. He gave an estimate and schedule an 8 am on a Monday service call. He also gave me a detailed list of supplies to purchase because if he purchased them, he would have to charge me for his time. His list was so detailed that I just handed to an associate at Home Depot and was in and out of the store in record time. To my delight, Scott was actually early!!!! His pleasant personality and "can-do" attitude is so refreshing. He actually likes his work. He took the time to explain to me everything that he did. And he liked my dog. (: I plan to add ceiling fans to 3 bedrooms. I will call Scott to complete that work.
Description of Work: a long list of little things - changing lights in kitchen to be hard wired, remove a broken light bulb in crawl space, and a downrod to a ceiling fan, to replace a outside light.

Scott was on time and very professional. The work took 2 days and I couldn't be happier with the quality of the work performed. I have some additional work needed on the finished portion of the basement and plan on having Scott out to do that work as well. Overall, a great experience.

Scott estimated the job on 1/24 and returned w/the supplies needed on 1/25 to complete the work. He called a few times to let me know when he'd arrive. That was great since it showed that he respected my schedule; you don't find that everyday. He's a personable professional who gets the job done. I plan to use his services again and forward his name around to friends and family.
Description of Work: Scott cut and installed a new can light in our kitchen, changed out an electrical outlet and a set of light switches.

I phoned Scott late Monday afternoon and we set up an appointment for Weds. morning at 8:00 am. Scott arrived 10 minutes early (no problem!) and he got right down to business. I showed him our problems and he gave me options on repairing or replacing the ceiling fixtures. I chose to replace 3 fixtures which he went out and purchased. He came right back and finished everything, including repairing the laundry room fixture. Scott also gave us a quote on installing sconces in our bedroom and he advised me on how the work would be done and gave me a shopping suggestion. Overall, the whole job took just under 3 hours. He was very neat and took all the old parts and bulbs away. I will definitely hire him again in the future!
Description of Work: Scott replaced two closet fixtures and a pantry fixture. He also repaired the fixture in our laundry room and gave me an estimate for additional work. Plus, I got a 10% discount for contacting him on Angie's list!

Scott did a fantastic job: polite, courteous, and professional. Scott scheduled this work around our schedules and gave us an estimate prior to starting the work. He said, "It may be less, but it will never be any more; I don't believe in surprising my customers." I was surprised - pleasantly so - at what a great job Scott did at such a wonderful price. As he was ready to leave, I asked Scott a question about a light in our kitchen that I was having problems with, just to get his advice. He pulled the whole thing apart, spending another twenty minutes on it, fixed it, and never even charged me for this extra repair. He is a competent electrician and an honest man. We are already working with him to schedule some outdoor lighting installation with him!
Description of Work: Scott added two electrical outlets outside and repaired two others.

My husband called Scott on a Sunday afternoon, fully expecting to get a voice mail. Scott himself answered and said he could come over that afternoon so we could have electricity in our living room! He was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend Scott Nelson, and would definitely call him again for any electrical work.

Steve was very professional when he arrived at the house. Our house had cathedral ceilings and Scott made an extra trip to get the right parts for the ceiling fan that we bought. I would highly recommend Scott for your electrical needs. The price was excellent and the service was even better??..

Scott provided a detailed proposal one day after my initial call. He had to reschedule the work twice due to a delay in the permit process. Scott met twice with the building inspectors and his work was noted as excellent by the inspector. I could not be more pleased. I highly recommend. Fair, fast and honest.
Description of Work: Scott ran electric service underground to my Gazebo, He installed; a ceiling fan, ground outlets, and cable service. He also corrected code violations in the main electrical box so I would pass the inspection. He was prompt, returned calls,and worked well with the village inspectors. The work was neatly completed in a timely professional manner
