Description of Work: Installed hard wired co detector, added new electric wire and outlet, and changed old thermostat to a new one which required adding a new electric line through the wall. RF Cook was not only professional and polite, they treated my house with utmost care, making sure their work is clean and least destructive ( they made sure they do not make any unnecessary holes in the wall)

Description of Work: Roy and his team removed and replaced some old electrical wire, updated the electrical box, installed surround sound system, and replaced a bunch of light fixtures. The work was done on time and at a very attractive price compared to other quotes we received. Highly recommend.

Roy and a helper arrived in the morning and began their work. They came in and removed the old panel and all the debris and replaced it with a new panel complete with a generator cutover switch. They did it at a much better price then 3 of the other contractors listed here on Angie's list for the exact same work. He sealed up the space around the service feed to prevent water from coming back into the house and ruining the new panel. The wiring was all neat and tidy and everything and everything works perfectly again.
Description of Work: replaced 200 amp electrical panel and installed a generator manual cut over switch

We tried to time the work so that it would be done before we moved into our newly-purchased house. Roy was juggling a couple of commitments at the time, so to make this possible he hired another electrician, whose pace seemed on the slow side and who had the occasional slip-up (a nonfunctional outlet, lights installed in the wrong location). Since we were being billed by the hour, the job came to more than we were expecting, maybe $1700, if I remember rightly. Generally we found Roy fair to deal with and professional. But we were disappointed by our overall experience with him. We took him on knowing we were paying a high rate and figuring we'd get top quality work in return. But there were too many goofs on the part of the sub. I understand our insistence on the particular completion date is partly to blame, but we were left feeling like we didn't get our money's worth.
Description of Work: We hired Roy to disconnect antiquated knob and tube wiring in the house and rewire any affected fixtures. We also had him install a new ceiling fan, bathroom light/fan combo, several outlets, a new bedroom fixture, and new basement lighting.

They were professional, knowledgeable, and we were completely comfortable having them work around our house. They were on time and punctual and came in as estimated. We would happily use them again.

I chose Roy randomly because he's a parent at my kids' school, but I couldn't have been more pleased. He returned my call immediately, came right over to assess the problem, gave me a very accurate estimate, performed the work within 24 hours, and did a great job. He is very personable and has a great sense of humor; it was a pleasure to have him in my house. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again or to recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: Thermostat wasn't working and ultimately needed to be replaced.

I don't remember what he charged me this time out but I can say beyond the shadow of a doubt he is one of the most inexpensive electricians out there. His knowledge of this craft has been passed down to him from a family background, and he is a master at what he does. I highly recommend him and will only use his services when I need them.
Description of Work: Recently we had them in to fix some lighting in our living room and some re-wiring of outlets to our circuit breaker box. They spent an hour or so here and then cleaned up and took all the old material and trash away with them when they left.
