Everything went PERFECT. Lighting directly hit my house and caused a fire in the attic. After the fire was put out, Entergy had to take the meter due to electrical system damage. This happened on a Sunday. The next day - on Monday - we called Mister Sparky around mid morning and Christian came out one hour later and inspected the breakers inside and outside of the house. Also checked wiring in the attic. After he reviewed everything he sat down with us and clearly explained what was wrong, what would need replacing, how long it would take, and costs. Costs were flat rates based on type of work and easy to understand (no per/hour labor charges, etc). Work was started immediately and completed within a few hours and we were able to get power turned back on later that evening after receiving our meter back from Entergy (required permit from parish). We found a bad GFI the next day and Christian came back out quickly to repair it - and also checked all other outlets in the house to make sure everything else was OK. I would highly recommend Mister Sparky as they came out the same day that we called, started repairs immediately, and did and excellent job! Christian was very friendly and took time to explain everything to us, show us the damage, and even take pictures in some difficult to reach places and texted them to us for insurance claim purposes.
Description of Work: House took a direct lightening strike, causing electrical system damage and fire. Mister Sparky checked entire electrical system and wires, replace melted wires, installed all new (fried) smoke detectors and added new one in the attic. Also replaced and a fried GFI outlet, and installed a whole home surge protector on the outside breaker box.

I was extremely pleased with all of the services performed today. My technicians were Jason and Dave. They showed up at the time expected and immediately went to work. They were extremely professional and polite, yet friendly. Any questions that I had were answered. I really appreciated the attention to details and the quality of work. Anytime either one of them entered my home, they put on shoe covers, would remove them as they went outside, put them back on to come in again, etc. They totally cleaned up and removed all debris and walked me around to explain everything they did. They performed top quality work. I will not only use this company for all future electrical needs, but I will request Jason again. I will let all family and friends know about this company and their standards!

Over all Dave did a good job. He was friendly, professional and quick. I may use them again...however, I found their pricing system non-transparent and suspect may be a bit overpriced...at least it felt that way. For this reason the overall grade of B due to pricing concerns. They charge a $39 service fee that is added on top of the charges for work. They claim to use a "Stringfellow Pricing Guide" to price each job they perform but I could not find any reference for it searching the internet (Google search). This leads me to believe it is propriatary. Based upon the Google hits for pricing guides, use of this approach may simply be an industry wide practice that may or may not be clear to customers. I went with the service for two primary reasons: 1) same day service, and 2) the grounding of the electrical panel was a $550 job by itself (or higher) based upon previous estimates I had obtained. That would suggest the over all job was within the anticipated $75 service call + $75/hr quoted by other outfits (it took him the better part of 3.5 hrs. Sooo...the cost of the job may simply be consistent with what I might have paid with another service provider.

Had already worked with Jason on another day to diagnose the problems I was having. Jason was very professional and patient in describing the problem I was having. I had tons of questions since this is a new house for us, and Jason had no problem explaining what was going on and how I should go about fixing it. The up front pricing that Mister Sparky uses is nice, since you know there will be no surprises at the end of the job. Would highly recommend Mister Sparky, and Jason in particular, for all your electrical needs.

They price by the job, so the price is high enough to cover any issues they may encounter. Since they encountered several issues with my house, I imagine that the cost for time and materials would have been about the same regardless. But if you know what you have is a simple job, they may not be the best vendor for your needs. Everything they worked on for me still works 1 1/2 years later!!

They are very good. The people they send out are very good and very direct. They seem to be very trustworthy. They have all their prices laid out on a full page so I know what I am getting. I don't have to worry that I am getting jacked around. They are not inexpensive but I didn't price this out so I didn't have anything to compare to. I would absolutely use them again.

I had used the same company to replace a motion activated outside spotlight and was impressed with the speedy installation and professional demeanor of the person who performed the work. for the most recent job, the same person came to provide the estimate and, ultimately, to do the work. Christian was professional; we had no difficulty with communication. Again the electrical improvements were installed quickly and to my complete satisfaction. I think that the company can provide the quick turn-around time from call to completion by having enough well trained employees. On the one hand this contributes to higher costs, but on the other hand the service is punctual and professional. not having to wait hours for an electrician who only calls at the end of my half-day appointment "window" to say that he is running late and has to reschedule is worth the extra money.
Description of Work: The electrician installed an outdoor outlet and a hardwired porch light.

They in general, Pretty good I think except that we had this one guy came out and he put in electricity in our laundry tub in the garage, he installed the lighting in improper location but he did move that back again and when his superior came up to look up some other work force, he said that guy was wrong, he should have asked myself where exactly I wanted it, that came out pretty good I guess. I think it was reasonable. I'd recommend them be used, it was pretty good but couple of things they did not tell me upfront, overall, the job I had was pretty good, I'd use them again.

Showed up within the 2 hour window. Gave an estimate (which was what it eventually cost). Installed the ceiling fan and the dimmer switch within the first hour. Trouble shot the stove vent/light and put it back in place. Great service and work. Now, to be frank, hiring electricians is not cheap in general so I shouldn't have been surprised it cost $140 to install a dimmer (including the dimmer). And, although there is no "service fee" there is a "travel fee" which sounds the same to me (how can you provide a service without traveling there?) running at $60. Fortunately there are four coupons for $30 on Angie's, but you can only use ONE (even though it doesn't stipulate only one - not shocking). So, all in all, I'm glad it's all done and that I didn't have to do it, and that the work is insured in case things go awry in the future. A little expensive but, as mentioned, electricians aren't cheap and really shouldn't be. I liked that they had pricing charts so there are no surprises and he stuck to his estimate exactly. He was professional and helpful and pointed out things I should do in the future.

Punctual - didn't have to wait. I like that. Very pleasant personable, polite representative for the company. The Fellow did the job quickly, took the time to explain what he was doing and why. I liked that. He picked up loose pieces of wires, cleaned his job area. I'll use them again.

Appointment setup was very responsive. Follow-on work likewise responsive and very professional. This was a fairly big job and the electrician walked me through the process and provided an estimate prior to work being done. The invoice process was standardized by activity very straight-forward and was inclusive parts/labor (no itemized charges). Cost was exactly what the estimate provided (no additional cost for parts or labor). Electrician was very friendly and answered all of my many questions. He left the house in the exact state of cleanliness as when he entered it. I'd absolutely use this comapany again if the situation warrants.
