Doolittle is one of the contractors supplied by Menards and I called several on their list to have a large ceiling fan installed - a great room, about 15 feet up. Another vendor quoted $250 for a 10' ceiling (which I would have done myself) and $350 for the extra 5 feet. Doolittle quoted $89 service call plus $40 for each 15 minutes - about an hour estimated, so about $250 for the total job. The job was completed in a flash and the total bill was $169. Workers (forgot their names!) were very professional and communicated with me the whole way. They took care to protect my wood flooring and assembled the fan (and extending rod) in crazy fast time. I highly recommend Doolittle as my experience was nothing short of extremely satisfying!

Fan install was fine. The vanity light was not centered. The two guys had packed up and were about to leave when they showed me the work. Installer said he can’t go any further because the wire was too short. I had explained to him beforehand it was going to need re-centered because vanity was longer. When I called their office they gave me the run around and never returned emails or call.

We are remodeling our kitchen and hired Doolittle for the electrical that was needed. They were on time, install was fast, knowledgeable, and very professional. They took the time to discuss the job so we knew exactly what to expect. If we had any questions they were happy to answer them. Highly recommend!

I did not use. I was quoted a number that sounded extremely high. I emailed them for clarification and never heard back. I contacted another company and they quoted me 62% less. Be sure to get multiple quotes to make sure you are treated fair.

Doolittle was able to schedule this work at exactly the right time in relation to our project schedule. They showed up as promised and performed the entire installation in less than three days, including required trenching and connection to the existing load center in our basement. Dave and his entire team were highly professional, courteous and respectful during the entire project. My background is electrical engineering, electronic technician and program management, so I have enough related experience to recognize timely, quality work and professional customer treatment; Doolittle exceeded my expectations in every category. I periodically inspected the workmanship as the installation progressed and found that in every aspect it was top-notch. I requested special outlets that would hang from the ceiling and the result was exactly what I had envisioned - only better; they included service loops to provide flexibility and spring suspension to prevent stress on the ceiling electrical connections. I am sure that there are other good electrical contractors in the Fort Wayne area; however, we will use only Doolittle Electric for any future projects. We highly recommend them if a high-quality job is desired.
Description of Work: Electrical work for a new 64' x 40' out-building, consisting of: - 100 Amp service, including trenching to existing home and tie-in to current electric service. - Lighting, including florescent lights in shop area, incandescent lights in attic, and LED lights in garage area and porch. - 115V and 230V wall outlets. - 115V and 230V floor outlets. - 115V and 230V ceiling hanging outlets. - Electrical Connection of a Whole-House Attic Fan. - Supply of all materials and labor.

This is the 2nd time we have used Doolittle and we are very happy with the experience again. They worked with us to schedule when they would do their part in between the parts we were doing ourselves with the bathroom remodel. They kept me involved in picking the new materials and did a great job trying to get me everything I wanted. They were extremely professional and friendly when doing the work. They were excellent with cleanup, running their vacuum several times through the project and shaking out our front door welcome mat. Probably what I liked and appreciated the most was their concern for not interrupting our children's nap schedules. They made a huge effort to do the loudest parts of the project when the kids were awake and to work quietly when they were sleeping. And I felt this did not delay the project in any way.
Description of Work: Removed old shower/tub and wall tile above tub, installed new shower/tub, installed new dry wall above tub, installed new shower head and faucet, replaced fan light casing and put in a new fan motor.

They were able to get me scheduled 4 days earlier than the original scheduled date. I had to quickly go over what I needed done because I ended up having to leave. They were very friendly. My husband was there when they did the work so I can't comment on that. However, when I got home everything was done and you would have never known they were there.

They showed up to quote, they showed up to do the work on time. The owner did great work and I was very pleased. I have used them at least 5 times. The owner is a good guy and seems to be very honest and do good work. The negative? I have called them four times in the past year asking them to do some work and they tell me it is 2-3 months before they can do anything with me. I guess I helped them build the company with my business in the early days and now I am on my own. Off to find a new electrician.

Response from Doolittle Electric
Yes, [Member Name Removed]your patronage has helped jump start our success. Unfortunately we grew our company, and then couldn't find talent to uphold the quality work you appreciate. The good news is Dave does all his own jobs now. The dilemma is with twice the work, and half the man power the schedule is always tight. Also, with his family living in Spain to support his sons soccer dream, visits every so often slows the schedule. We do apologize. We hope this helps with understanding.
