Rich arrived on time and started work immediately. He worked quickly and did a great job. He also offered suggestions of different ways to set up the MBR ceiling fan. The updated ceiling fans look great and add a whole new look to the rooms where they were installed. He even fixed a poorly wired wall switch at no additional charge. I would definitely use Rich for any future electrical work, as he provides quality work from a true professional at a reasonable price.
Description of Work: Removed three old ceiling fans and installed three new ones.

Rich was fantastic. He is now in our phone for all of our future electrical needs. He came out when we were on a tight schedule and problem solved a unique situation. His work was very professional and he was fantastic at communicating any issues that came up. Very personable and well prepared.
Description of Work: We needed to find an electrician fast to help hook up the electrical associated with our new septic system that was being installed. Needed to run electrical/conduit out of the basement to an exterior wall of the house.

This was my second time I hired Rich first time went smooth so I felt comfortable hiring him again. Beware Rich starts the Hourly fee as soon as he pulls up $100. first hour $85.00 after that . Normally I would always get a flat fee for the job but I trusted this guy (Big Mistake) I wouldn't feel so ripped off if he would have started working as soon as he got to my house but he wanted to talk and look at the other potential project I have at my expense! This job he performed should of been no more then 3 hours! But after all the lollygagging it was 4 not to mention $55.00 for parts that probably cost $10.00....Rich also wanted to Jerry rig one of the lights by attatching a shim to the mount and having the drywall hold it up...WOW!!! BEWARE OF THIS GUYS HOURLY RATE!!!!

Response from Custom Power Electric
This review came as a shock to Custom Power Electric. Like mentioned by homeowner, this is the second job I have done for him. Homeowner and I were in agreement that both jobs would be time and material option. Second job was trickier than the first and required more planning and decisions to be made on the spot. Homeowner was informed of all the options and risks before I proceeded with the agreed plan of action. Homeowner wanted to be educated as I was doing the work for his own peace of mind and for future projects. I wanted to make him feel safe with the procedure so I explained each step. Homeowner had several questions and second guesses causing delays. The job went just as planned and no drywall repair needed. Pendant lights turned out great. At the end of the project he was very happy with the work and paid for service and offered me a 3rd job. So I again am confused why he provided a F rating but offered me the 3rd job. He and I walked his kitchen job for 15 minutes and he was not charged for the estimate......

Rich did an excellent job on installing our cabinet lighting. His pricing was very reasonable. He arrived on time and actually finished the job sooner than estimated. He was very professional and communicated well during the job. I would highly recommend him for electrical work.

We purchased the deal through Angie's List and couldn't be happier. After contacting several electricians to no avail trying to get the job done, we decided to buy the service in advance. Job gets a straight A from start to finish. Communication was flawless, Rick arrived on time, performed the job to our satisfaction and cleaned after him. We will definitely use this company again and recommend it to friends and family.

It went great. Rich provide a quote from pictures. He suggested this to speed up the process. We set up a date and time. A day before he was to arrive he texted me to confirm. He arrived on time and performed the work as expected. He was very courteous and professional. He completed the work for less than the original quote, because it took less time than expected. I would definitely use them again..
