From the minute I called their office, Rachelle was amazing. So friendly, helpful, and got information right back to me. Eli, our service tech was very knowledgeable, communicated everything so I could understand exactly what he was doing, and was so friendly. I will be using them again soon for adding some outlets in our unfinished basement. I would highly recommend calling them for any electrical issues.

Levi did a great job and also recognized that my furnace had not been placed on a dedicated circuit during some previous work by another electrician. He repaired my circuit and placed the furnace on a dedicated circuit. He worked very efficiently and quickly. They were able to come the same day as contacted.
Description of Work: During home repair a circuit wire was nicked with a screw, shorting the circuit. My furnace was on this circuit which made for a very cold night at this time of year.

They showed up in a timely fashion and were able to complete the work within a few hours. The lights look amazing and the outlet is functioning as it should. Their price was fair and competitive. I will definitely use them again to install more can lights in the future.

Quality work and people!! They fixed the minor issue at no charge. I called them for an electrical issue on my rental property. They reached out to the renter, set up a time that worked for them. Checked out the issue (just for estimate sake), followed be it to be minor, and fixed it for free on the spot. That kind of personal professionalism is rare. Definitely my go to electrician now.

On Wednesday the owner came out and gave me a quote. The price was so reasonable I asked if he could put it up that day and he was already booked. However, he placed a call to the office and they were able to get me scheduled for the next day. Eli came out on the next day at the appointment time. He was well prepared for the job had all of the tools needed. He put foot covers on so as not to track dirt inside the house. He did an excellent job. Eli looks to be about 12 (I'm sure he's much older) but he is very skilled at his trade. He had the 2 lights up in no time, put the bulbs in, and cleaned up afterwards. He even too the large packaging the light came in with him, which I was very appreciative. Before he left I asked him about some other lighting we might want to have done at a later date and he give me a written estimate, and even went into the attic to see about how the wiring would work on a particular design we discussed. He is very personable, and professional. I think I found myself a "new" electrical company. Thaks Joe Schmo for the excellent pricing and the great customer service. Mrs. D. Murrell

It went really well. They showed up the same day that I called for the quote. We then set up the appointment at a time convenient for me. They were actually early, but called 30 minutes before to see if they could come. They did the work and were on their way quickly. Very happy with the service.

I am very pleased with this company. They arrived on time and were very professional. They placed cardboard circles on the ceiling and asked me to approve the placements before they every started the job. The locations were uniformly place to give the maximum light to the room. They spent a lot of extra time running the wiring in the ceiling to avoid cutting more than one hole in the wall and one in the ceiling without any extra charge. They replace the drywall they had cut from the holes and a little drywall patch has covered them nicely. They cleaned up everything after they were done. While they were there I also had them move a light receptacle in my bathroom. I was pleased with that job also.
Description of Work: They installed four canister lights in my living room.

We would highly recommend Joe Schmo Electrical Services! I received a call to schedule my installation within minutes of purchasing this Angie's List deal. James and Derrick arrived on time and went right to work on removing the light and installing the recessed lights. We also asked for an estimate on some additional electrical services and the quote was reasonable. They had allocated time to perform those additional services so they completed those services also (installed ceiling fan, installed an additional dimmer switch, changed the some garage plugs to/from 220. They completed all the work within 4-5 hours and we've had no issues. My husband asked for an additional estimate on installing 3 additional work lights to our garage and we scheduled them to come back 4 days later for that work.
Description of Work: Removed and capped off existing light fixture and installed 4 recessed lights and a dimmer switch.

Eric came and gave an estimate and put me on the schedule for a week later. He ordered the low voltage lights for the under cabinet lighting (which this job included in the price). They arrived on time on the day scheduled and worked non stop from 9:30am until 4:00pm. They created new outlets and switches in the kitchen and did a beautiful job with the installation of the new lighting. They hung the new tv and set all up with the wiring and outlets to make a very nice clean look (no wires hanging out, etc). They were very personable yet professional. No nonsense and worked continuously. They cleaned up the work area completely. This is my second job experience with Joe Schmo and will continue to use and recommend them.

Description of Work: I need an electrical job estimate and work done. I left a voice mail of who I am and what needs done. I received a voice mail that I could not understand with an email address.

Everything went great! Eric was punctual and did a fantastic job. He made an extra trip to Menards to pick up a more powerful fan for our bathroom and installed additional ventilation duct work in our attic on a very hot afternoon. Everything was done well and efficiently. This was our second time using Joe Schmo Electrical and we will definitely use them again in the future!
