Artisan Electric

My electric service was torn down by a downed tree and left without heat or anything else. Artisan Electric surveyed the damage and recommended repairs with a quick estimate. Work was performed on an expedited basis and I had power back in just over 4 days - amazing in view of the total damage. All work was done as listed in the estimate and there has been no further problems after power was restored. Very happy with the work done and highly recommend Artisan Electric.

This is my 2nd review for Artisan Electric. As always, they are professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. The installation of the lights and ceiling fans was done in a timely manner. The cost was reasonable for high quality work. They look great! The owner, Chris cares about his customers and their satisfaction. Chris is quick to respond to any concerns or questions you may have. I highly recommend this company! They have earned my loyalty!

We were so impressed with the quality of work and professionalism from the crew at Artisan. We have a historic Victorian home that needed a complete upgrade from knob and tube to modern wiring. These guys not only did an amazing job, but they were able to keep the integrity of the home. None of the original walls, floors, or ceilings were damaged. The Artisan Crew were great with communication and ALWAYS cleaned up at the end of each day. They were respectful of our time and budget. They were also very accommodating with the things we needed to add as the project progressed. I can't recommend these guys highly enough if you have historic home electrical needs. Thanks for a job well done, we appreciate it!

Excellent work...wonderful people. I would definitely recommend ARTISAN Electric to anyone needing electrical work. Professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Very grateful for the work completed.

I used to have several union electricians in my family that were considered very good electricians and the workmanship of Chris and his crew reminded me of the quality of work my brother always did. They were kind, friendly and professional. I will be using them for any of my future electrical needs. Awesome company that I highly recommend.

Everyone that we have dealt with at Artisan has been wonderful, and we are very happy with their work. The estimator, Roger, was awesome. We just bought a fixer-upper and have a lot of different projects planned. He was able to keep track of everything and made recommendations that weren't based on making more money. He told us that our 100 AMP service was enough for the priority jobs and that we would only need to upgrade to 200 when/if we "finish" the basement. We were definitely more comfortable with Artisan, but the bid came in higher than another company. We decided to split up a couple small jobs to see which company we wanted to work with long-term. Artisan came THE NEXT DAY! When we tried to schedule with the other company, we never heard back. While talking to the electrician that came to do the work, he said that he really likes working for Artisan because they pay their employees well and really take care of them. I think that says a lot about a company and made us feel better about the higher price. When we had them come out to do the next set of work including installing the bathroom exhaust fan, they realized that the ducting wouldn't fit in the soffit. They had to run rigid ducting in the attic to the end of the house. Despite their cost increasing, they did not come back to us to pay for the extra supplies. Since many of the other contractors we called have basically said they don't have time for us, we were amazed that Artisan scheduled the two jobs the next day and in less than a week, respectively, from the time we said, "You're hired." The ONLY barely-negative-but-not-really thing was that the estimator arrived a couple hours earlier than expected. (Luckily, he didn't seem to care that I was still in my pajamas!) We have several more projects that we will definitely hire Artisan for!

Great! They were very prompt and did the job quickly and efficiently.

I was pleased with the services that were provided. The electrician was professional, knowledgeable, and explained the problem. The price is a bit higher than other companies by well worth it due to the high quality of work. I would definitely recommend this company to others and plan on hiring them again for future projects!

I attempted three times to call this company for a quote on upgrading my electrical service from 100amp to 200amp and running a new electrical line out to a detached garage. I twice called and left a message with no response and no answer. The third time I called the shop number and cell phone number on the shop phone message with no answer and did not leave a response. I really was looking forward to doing business with this company as I see their signs up all over the place and have heard good things about them and they have good reviews. Can't hire someone when they don't even want to return your messages. I find it very frustrating when no one will even call me back. If you use this company I hope that they will at least speak you but I decided to spend my money with someone who would at least speak with me.

Great experience with Artisan Electric! Chris and his whole team are very professional. Good communication, always on time, and doing quality work is their priority. We will be having more work done by Artisan Electric. Thanks!

We live in a older home and we noticed when we plugged different appliances in the lights would flicker and or dim down while using that appliance. We contacted Artisan and told them of our concern. The service team arrived on time and accessed the concern at hand. They found that particular circuit was drawing to much amperage when in use. They also checked other circuit while they were their and gave recommendations for future work. Their team installed new wiring and circuit to help with overage/amperage.During the entire process, we never felt rushed or pressured to do any additional items. I would highly recommend the team at Artisan for any of your electrical concerns. Keep up the good work!!

The estimate was reasonable. The technician arrived on time, assessed the problem, and corrected it. He advised the repair was only temporary and the problem may return. We understood that. The work area was clean when he left. The bill was in line with the estimate. The company was a pleasure to work with. I would definitely use them again.

They were great. They were refered by another contractor that day. They came out within 25 minutes. They were quick and clean during the installation and that they would bill me for the service.

We began the process 8 months prior to completion. In this design phase we contacted Chris Voglund and indicated our interest in solar power. Chris and his team had installed a back up generator at our home the prior year and we were very pleased with his work at that time so it was natural for us to turn to him when we wanted to pursue a solar option. He came to our house to discuss design options and operational considerations. Once the winter weather cleared he began the installation. We were extremely pleased with the attention to detail and willingness to work with design changes on what was a rather complex job. Chris and his crew were cheerful, pleasant and professional. I could not ask for a better outcome. We are very pleased.

Chris, the owner, is awesome. Super nice, responds quickly to texts and calls, shows up when he says he will, and walks you through the needed work in a very nice manner using laymen's terms. And most important, their work is impeccable. Has very reasonable prices (though the price he quoted us for rewiring our chandeliers seemed a bit high, it might be worth it for the work - we haven't made up our minds on this yet). My favorite thing is the wonderful treatment by everyone in this company. We are getting increasingly frustrated by companies that don't seem to want our business by treating us poorly in an apathetic manner. Artisan definitely wants our business and we will continue to give it to them!

Chris called to tell me he would be a few minutes late, which was literally only a few minutes. Very considerate. He was very professional, fixed my problem and patiently answered my many questions.

The gentleman showed up on time and was very friendly and helpful. He listened to what we were requesting before performing the task. The job was done quickly and quietly.

We were very impressed with Artisan; they were able to complete a complex job on a short timeline. There was a risk that in order to access the old wiring for replacement holes would need to be cut in walls & ceilings - Artisan was able to temporarily remove some floorboards on the second floor and complete the entire job with no damage whatsoever.

During the first visit, two gentlemen arrived to complete the work. They were polite and on time. I had a list of questions and concerns which they addressed. 1) They looked at the electrical setup for my sump pumps to see if there was a reason they kept shutting off, in consultation with the plumber. The plumber identified the problem. 2) We discussed a problem I was having when using a hairdryer and heater in my bathroom at the same time which tripped the circuit breaker. 3) Replaced a light switch in the bedroom. 4) Replaced an outlet in the bathroom (and kindly helped me replace a lightbulb that I could not reach) After the visit there was a delay in follow-up on a request that I had for a quote for additional work. However, as soon as the owner, Chris, was aware of my concern he contacted me and addressed all of my requests very quickly. During their second visit: 1) They ran a new electrical line to the back of my house where I had been overloading the circuit. 2) They also inspected and replaced all of the outlets in two rooms to address some flickering lights. This resolved my problems and I feel safe turning on my bedroom lights again. I was quite satisfied with the work and very much appreciated the responsiveness shown by the owner.

Artisan did a fantastic job handling our urgent project. They found that water had been seeping into the outside breaker box and then all the way in to our interior breaker box--an extremely serious and dangerous situation. They were very professional and kind during what was a very stressful time for our family. I already have plans to use their services again!

- labeled panel and fixed issues in panel make up - fixed open splices and inspected the job - added outlets up stairs - pulled up attic deck boards to seek short - fixed wiring in attic - fixed open splices found in wall, under decking, and under the stairs - fixed bathroom electric and installed GFCI where lacking close to tub - after investigating, inspecting and fixing all wiring on 2nd floor - fixed and / or addressed major knob and tube issues found in the home. . The trouble shooting and evaluation uncovered a number of deficiencies that required correction to make the house safe from an electrical and fire safety standpoint. The work was performed initially on New Years eve and continued for a total of 3.5 days of an electricians time with a helper. The work was done professionally and satisfactorily. I would recommend Artisan Electric any time to others.

Chris was very responsive from the first email until the job was completed. We had just purchased our house and knew from the inspection report there were wiring issues. We purchased this house as a rental home and we lived 1 1/2 hours away, so we did most communication by phone, email and pictures. Chris was very patient working with me and the renters in the house. Chris came over and did a thorough inspection of our electrical system, made recommendations, explained the estimate to me, and then scheduled the job. Though it was more than I expected, it all made complete sense as Chris explained it to me. Our house still had a knob and tube system throughout much of it. The work was finished on schedule. I was out of town when the job was completed and I told Chris I didn't need a final walk-through. He told me he felt it was very important to do the walk-through and would make himself available at my convenience. True to his word, I called him on a Saturday morning to see if he could meet a couple hours later and he did. I am completely satisfied with the work Chris and his team did, and am planning on using them again to rewire my garage and bury the overhead line.

We own and operate a local business. We called upon Artisan Electric during a busy work day when our industrial pipe bender started blowing the circuit breaker. Their staff responded quickly and with in an hour had problem pin-pointed and repairs started. That day they helped save minimal down time and helped re-establish production. I have used them not only for my business, but also for up grades at my house. They employee a great staff and provide you with different solutions to concerns. I will always recommend Artisan Electric and their staff for electrical concerns. Keep up the good work!!! Robert Hancock

They were ridiculously over priced. They were nice. They came to the house. Some companies I have called were not doing a free estimate but Artisan did. And then, they would charge you for coming out to do the estimate and they do not tell you the price of their quote. It was not itemized either. It was just, "Here is the number that we are going to charge you."

We had the worst snow for the winter of 2013 and the guys still came exactly at the predicted time and worked very hard. The quote was exactly what I figured it would be and there were no extra charges. No tardiness nor mess was left through my house and they were done within two days (before all the snow even melted). I also needed a description of the event so that I could try to see if I could get any reimbursement from the spa company since they had hooked up the wiring incorrectly and had caused some burning inside the wire housing. However, the spa company did warn me to have the spa wiring checked out by a professional electrician. Artisan electric is a very professional and competent group of electricians that corrected all the incorrect wiring that the spa company had done. I learned a very important lesson about true electricians and spa technicians who may have very little technical experience but readily step out of their competency level.
