I emailed and then Omar and I finally actually talked on Wednesday. He said he could come out on Thursday and do the repairs. He asked what time was best for me and I said 1230-1 pm and he asked if he could have more like and hour window. I was shocked I was just think of my times as a jumping off point. Omar and Isreal came at about 1245 and began the repairs. They asked if I wanted them to wear the protective shoe covers but I have two small kids and 3 large dogs so really two grown men were the least of my worries. They had to go to the store for parts but they were out of the house by 3pm and my basement is so bright. The costs came in right at what I was quoted even with the extra trip to the store and Now I can see to do laundry and we can have a blow up Santa on the lawn next christmas.
Description of Work: I needed the lights repaired in my basement and the outside electrical outlets fixed.

The company did a great job. I had a very positive experience. When they first came out, the ground was frozen so they had to come back at a later time. They did so at no charge. Overall, they did everything as promised.
Description of Work: They installed a new line from house to garage which was underground.

excellent! came on time at a time that dwas convenient for me. Covered feet dwithout being told. worked efficiently and very quickly. Hardly no sounds(didn't hear him move from room to room). Asked if I needed help with replacing bulbs on a vaulted ceiling that was difficult for me to reach even with an extension rod and even when I didn't have enough bulbs he installed some of his own included in the price! All this was after he finished the job. He then asked if I had any questions. He and his associate workman were very pleasant, give a smile on greeting and leaving and seemed very concerned if I was satisfied. He told me if there were any problems or any future needs to contact him. Most of all he worked well around my kids and other family members! I am planning other exterior needs that would require his services.
Description of Work: repair, upgrade, and correct existing circuit breakers in my home; repair multiple light switches that were faulty,install a new socket in a faulty and dangerous pendant light, check out other lighting and electrical in house to make sure it is working properly, replacee old blulbs with new ones free of charge and give do and donts on the use of bulbs you don't touch with fingers.

I called Exel to replace the circuit breaker in my elderly mother's home and assess what lines were needed to stop the power from blowing out. She had used Excel once before after I found them on Angie's List. Omar Muhammad came out the next day and was able to complete the work quickly and efficiently. She had a very old electrical system and he was able to replace things so that many extension cords and extra wires were taken down. We were impressed with how nice it looked and how quickly it was done. He was very professional and gave her a senior discount which she appreciated.
Description of Work: Omar replaced the circuit breaker and installed a new box and receptors.

The company came out and did the work on time and well. But, I felt for just an hour of time and switching a wire from one breaker to another the price really too high.

I left a voice message on 12/31/10. Omar called back the same day, my appointment was 1/4/11. The company has a standard price list that was quoted over the phone. I was given a 1 hour window that was refreshing considering the standard is a 2-4 hour window. My service was excellent! The company does not accept credit cards. Omar was sensitive to my dilemma and stated that he would look into accepting credit cards in the future especially for those of us who have adapted to online banking.

Omar was very responsive when I initially contacted him. He indicated that he had just completed a job like mine and gave me a quote over the phone. I also contacted three other electrical contractors to receive estimates. Omar's estimate was less than half of what the other contractors quoted me. I am purchasing another property and will definitely call him again!

Found Excel via Angie?s list. Called and was answered on second or third ring. Gave me an estimate and we scheduled a date. Arrived just a little late - the house is tricky to find as it?s in a subdivision. Uniform was clean and tidy. Explained the job and he went right to work. Was done in thirty minutes and lowered the amount from the initial estimate due to the unexpected ease of the job.

We had a wall of outlets that stopped working along with needing estimates for installing ceiling fans. Omar was on time and and very professional. Found the problem quickly and repaired. Gave ceiling fan estimates and repaired a last minute request of putting a loose electrical plate on the wall. Would recommend this company and use again.

Called and talked with Omar regarding the scope of work to be performed and he was able to schedule the work to be done very quickly to meet our schedule. He was also able to give me a ballpark estimate over the phone. Omar showed up on time with another electrician Israel to do the job. They were both very professional in their workmanship and very neat in handling any and all lighting fixtures to be installed. They were able to answer any questions we had and made sure everything was in good working order before leaving the job. We would certainly hire them again for any future work. Good job!
Description of Work: Replaced 5 old and broken lighting fixtures with ones provided by us.

Called on Saturday morning and left message. Received a call back about an hour later. Stated he would get a person out today if possible. By noon service person called and was here shortly after. Checked out problem which could have been very expensive and labor intensive. He started with the simpliest fix which was replacing parts easiest to get to. It worked wonderfully. My sewer pump started working and electricity was working with no problems. Service person was extrememly nice and tried to keep expenses down. Will definitely use this company again.

My house was a sixty amp. He upgraded it. He took the amount paid for the garage off of the price to upgrade. The meter was so old that it did not fit the meter box. Omar told me it would be 8-10 weeks for the city to get this taken care of. We were getting bills and had power. He told me he had talked to the city. Finally 8 weeks later I called the city. They said said that it was ready. So I was disappointed that I had to do the follow-up with the city.
Description of Work: I had a problem with my garage. They corrected that. It turned out that previously my dad, who did the wiring didn't use wire connector but used tape to connect wires. These had fallen off.

It went great! Omar showed up when promised, scoped out the job, got a second technician to bring a few more things he needed, but got to work immediately on what he could do. It took about three hours start to finish, including cleanup. The price was a fixed cost per repair they needed to do. They went out of their way to warn me when they were unplugging my internet -- I was in the other room working. They also offered a cheaper repair in one case than what I had asked for, for a plug that was in a nonsensical place.
Description of Work: Check all 20 outlets and rewire as needed (about half had hot/neutral flipped, or no ground). Install GFCI outlets near sinks. Replace one light fixture.

It went very well I contacted Omar, he came out, even calling me ahead of time letting me know he was going to be a little late. I really appreciated that. He arrived in the time he said he would be here, he installed the new outlets even installing a new switch, he took the time to let me know everything that was going on, and how much the charge would be. I will be using his services again.
Description of Work: Omar came in and installed several new outlets for me. I live in an older building, and the outlets were still the originals that had been in place for more than half a century. He arrived on time, installed the new outlets and was very professional in the way he handled the job.
