I spoke with Mike directly who said he would come out the next day to replace the fan. He said he would call me when he was on the way. I moved all the furniture out of the room to allow easy access. Mike never showed and never returned future calls.
Description of Work: Replace a ceiling fan on a vaulted ceiling approx 18ft off the ground.

We still have a leak, but they did a lot of work, and they tried to seal and dried it up, but they did more than another company that we had.

I can't say enough good things about Mike Whalen. We had a three switch light switch in my kitchen that fell directly in the middle of where my back splash was supposed to end. It was quite annoying and holding up the work I wanted to get completed in my kitchen. Mike came out promptly to give an estimate and it was more than fair. In the meantime we had to get a gas line brought to the back of my current electric oven as we're replacing it with a gas range. We called a company that was rated highly on Angie's List and we received an estimate to bring gas to the back of the stove and put in the necessary 110v outlet. The estimate was really high but again running out of time we needed to act quickly. Long story short the other company didn't want to honor their original quote and so we simply had them do the gas and no electrical work, and we won't ever use them again for anything. My husband called Mike and explained what we needed so when he came to do the light switch they could do the 110v plug as well. His son and helper showed up promptly and they were just great. Professional, problem solving and even filled the hole that the other light switch left so now all my tile guy has to do is mud it and we're good to go. And their rates are truly honest and cost effective for the home owner. I feel confident they can do whatever we need done with electrical situations and won't even think of using anyone else in the future. We are so happy with Mike and his team and his pricing which is great we're going to have him quote doing a whole house surge protector and add some additional 220 in the garage for my husbands wood working tools.
Description of Work: Move existing three light switch from one side of the wall to the other. Install a 110V outlet behind stove.

We called to get an estimate for installing our three kitchen lights we had purchased. Mike senior came the next morning and was very professional and nice. He called us back later that day with a verbal estimate and we set up the appointment for following week. He brought two workers and explained what had to be done. One was his son Mike Jr and both were very professional and worked very hard to complete work. We had a large very heavy expensive island light that was a challenge to install because of a beam in the way. They were able to go into attic and saw through drywall and install a wood brace and anchor to make sure it was secured good and hung the way we wanted it. I told them bottom of glode had to be 30 inches from top of island and it was perfect!! They had to cut another hole in center of kitchen ceiling to install a LED track light we bought and made sure it was centered where we wanted it. They also asked me if we wanted it on its own switch and we told them that would be great if not to much extra work. They said it is however you want it installed. Also installed our can light in ceiling and had to cut hole in celing from attic. I can't believe the difference the lights make in my kitchen! Awesome! When done they gave us a written bill that was exact amount we were quoted. They did a great job and very prompt and professional. We did get one other estimate that was twice what they quoted!!! We will call them again next time we need any electric work. They are very honest and professional and do great job. Please give them a call first if you need any electrical work done. You will be glad you did. Mike's wife answers the phone and sets appointments and very professional and knowledgable. She told me he has been doing electrical for 40 years. Very nice and down to earth and professional. Thanks again for great job! Call them for Free estimate and you will be happy you did! First time we have used them and will call them in future.
Description of Work: Installed 3 kitchen lights

Mike Jr. was prompt and professional. He showed up right on time and did the work as promised. He was very courteous and was very careful about picking up after himself. He was personable and a pleasure to work with. We really appreciated his help!
Description of Work: He put in a new chandelier and fan in the kitchen. He installed 3 hard-wired smoke alarms that had gone bad and had been causing problems. He also installed an exterior motion-sensitive security light.

It went great,
Description of Work: Mike Whalen (the electric man) rewired my home in a major renovation, installed recessed lighting, relocated outlets, switches, and bath ceiling fan/lights. The crew was extremely professional and addressed my concerns to my complete satisfaction, they arrived on time the date we agreed on and were a pleasure to work with, Mike returned immediately when I called the following day when my heat system was not operating, turns out the circuit breaker was old and inoperable, Mike found the problem quickly and replaced the warn out part right then and there. I would recommend this company for any electrical needs, they go above and beyond what is required (they even loaned me a ladder for weeks since I just bought the home and my moving trailer has yet to arrive), I will call Mike for all my electric concerns.

I had to have my mom come over to my house to wait for these guys because I work out of town. They showed up on time and installed the box and the light in the bathroom, but left a hole in the wall that I still haven't figured out how to repair. They used two people for the installation, and I was charged for two people even though it was obvious one person would have been enough. I requested they install the recessed lights, but they told me they couldn't complete the work that day and that they would have to come back the next day. I was very clear about the requirements in our initial phone call. If they were unable to complete the work because of their availability, they should have made it clear to me before I made arrangements for someone to come over. But Mom stayed over an extra night to honor their request. Once they left the house on Day 1, they never came back and did not return my phone calls when I tried to contact them. The individual they sent over to supervise the work was named Art. He does not listen to anyone. It became very obvious very quickly that my third request to ask for solutions for the other lighting project in my house was a waste of time. If Art is assigned to your project, request someone else. So what I ended up with was being charged $150 (including a $90 "trip fee") for the improper installation of one bathroom light. Needless to say, I cannot recommend using these guys for anything.
Description of Work: I requested that they install a light in my bathroom that required a junction box. I also requested they install four recessed lights in my dining room and I wanted to ask them for some solutions in lighting my living room.

IT WAS EXCELLENT. I'D USE THEM AGAIN. I THINK IN ALL THE WAYS THAT I GAVE AN ' TO. I THINK THEY WERE FAIR AND THEY DID WHAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO. THEY EVEN DID SOME FOLLOW-UP. THEY CALLED BACK TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING WAS WORKING PROPERLY.
Description of Work: THEY INSTALLED CEILING FANS. THEY WORKED ON SOME THINGS FOR US OUTSIDE LIKE POSTING LIGHTS FOR US OUTSIDE. THEY CHECKED SOME OLDER WIRES FOR US AND REPLACED THINGS LIKE THAT, SO UPGRADING. I THINK IT TOOK BETWEEN TWO AND THREE HOURS.
