About us

My name is Scott Nelson. My company is called "SCOTT NELSON ELECTRIC"because I want my own name to be on every job we do. I have been in the electrical trade for over 25 years. I went to trade school school through "Associated Builders and Contractors Electrical Apprenticeship Training Program"(A.B.C.)shortly after completing high school.I am noticed by the "National Bureau of Apprenticeship Training"(N.B.A.T.)as a Journeyman Electrician. I worked for 14yrs. with contractors from the north shore,n.w. suburbs,and northern illinois. "QUALITY ELECTRICAL REPAIRS & INSTALLATIONS"is the best way to explain our service. We believe that being "neat & tidy"is one of the best ways of showing how much we respect our customers,and their homes.Our goal is 100% customer satisfaction.

Description of Work: I had them come out to do some minor electrical work. In addition, I wanted to put my basement lights on a wall switch. I also needed to have an outlet put in the basement on its own circuit for my treadmill. On the first trip out, the work done was great but one of my outlets upstairs didn't work after they left. I was heading out of town so we arranged that they would come out to look at it when I got back the following week. I don't have the electrical terms for it but they had not re-spliced something after they connected the three lights in the basement. They quickly fixed the problem and I had them install an additional outlet in the basement. I will call them back when I need electrical work. I had gotten another estimate that was significantly higher. I went with Scott Nelson because of the good reviews on Angie's List.

Description of Work: I cannot believe the lack of "professionalism" in this country. We need a lot of work on our home and can't even get this company or many others to keep an appointment or give us an estimate in a timely fashion. I don't know how many times I have to hear the same line, "something came up at another job, so I can't make the appointment". Seriously, how long would it take to come to my home, look around, and take a few notes. Everyone crying broke and complaining about getting laid off can give it a rest.

Response from Scott Nelson Electric Inc
Member, I'm sorry you feel that way. I called you and informed you that I was stuck in downtown Chicago,and I wouldn't make the appointment on time, so I offered to reschedule. You rudely said "forget it" and hung up on me. For three days I emailed back and forth 9 times and scheduled to estimate your project at 6;00 at night, which not many contractors would even do. As far as the lack of professionalism, I doubt that the 50+ possitive reviews I have received in the last year are mistaken. I feel I went above and beyond to satisfy a potential customer. I do hope that you find a qualified Electrician that you will be satisfied with for your project. Sincerely, Scott A. Nelson President SCOTT NELSON ELECTRIC INC.
