Dave and Jesse arrived on time and got right to work. They were professional, knew what they were doing and were done in less than an hour. They were working in my attic and the footing was not that great. (blown in insulation) I recommend them highly.

I don't have much good to say about the service. First they used a scare tactic to up-sell me on venting the exhaust fan through my roof (I've been living here over 20 years and haven't gotten mold even once). After the job was done I had to pick insulation and pieces of roof tile off my deck. I guess the service didn't include cleanup. Inside, when I inspected the replacement fan I realized the replacement was square and smaller than the round original, exposing unpainted sections and part of the hole in the ceiling. They had put plaster in and around the hole and told me it would dry white (only some of it did). The 'patch' looks like was done with their fingers and looks lumpy like oatmeal. Later when I I took a closer look I realized they poured plaster down my sink!! It was all over the sink and down my drain. I took pictures as proof!! This sucks, what a rotten job. Now I have to call someone to do a decent job on my ceiling and a plumber to replace my pipes.

Peter and his crew are excellent. They arrive on the time and on the day they schedule with us, they are very profession and very easy to work with. They work very hard and do not hangout at all. What amazed me as how they keep everything in the house protected in the areas that they are working, they always clean up and even patch drywall holes that were required to run certain cables. I have used them 3 or 4 times already and will continue to use them.
Description of Work: We have had Casello in a number of times since we purchased our house back in May of last year. They have put in overhead ceiling light in our living room, eliminated and correct electrical work that was not done to code, added outlets, light, switches and rung out cabling left at the breaker panel

My experience with Casello Electric was excellent. They scheduled a time that was convenient for me, and they ended up giving me the option of moving up my appointment when they were running ahead of schedule. When they were here, they worked quickly and efficiently, and they explained all of their work. Because of their reasonable price, professionalism, and friendly demeanor, I'd absolutely call Casello Electric for future work.

Once again, great job by the electricians from Casello. The job was done in two parts: initial wiring and then finishing. Casello sent two guys for the initial work; we had a repeat visit from Nick and one new guy. They worked most of the day and got the job done, adding wiring for four recessed lights, two floodlights, removing an old exterior light, and adding 4 new outlets (one on the exterior of the porch). They didn't get in the way and I hardly knew they were there. Cleaned up after themselves as usual. Tidy and excellent work. On the second trip, they did the finishing work, adding the actual outlets and recessed lights. Everything worked as expected and we were very pleased with the outcome. The final wiring inspection took place and we passed, as expected. One very minor thing: they forgot to add the new circuit to the list in our box and the wiring inspector made a comment but didn't fail us, so make sure if you have similar work done you ask them to add the new service to the list of circuits.
Description of Work: Added new service to our new screened-in, 3-season porch.

Flawlessly. The two electricians were excellent. This is my second major job with Peter and his guys and I have had zero problems. The only issue at all was that I had requested the surge protector and it got missed. They got Peter on the phone and it was resolved instantly. Even though it wasn't in the quote, Peter added it at no additional charge. I had obtained one additional verbal estimate just to be diligent, but it was clear the guy didn't want to do the job, as evidenced by the fact he never sent me a quote. It did confirm that Peter's quote was reasonable, so there was then no question that I would have him do the work. Some guys just want to do the easy work and churn through them. Peter and his guys do it all and they do it well. I am very happy with the work and it passed the electrical inspection with flying colors. In going through the process the only thing I wish is that I had done it earlier as in hindsight the situation really wasn't as safe as I thought it was. I should have them back just to look around for other issues. There just weren't very good controls until the 90's from what I have experienced. They are also doing handyman services now, as a separate branch of the company and I really will have to give them a shot. There is always something I don't have time to get to.
Description of Work: Installed an updated exterior 200 amp service, ran 200 and 100 amp lines to the basement. Replaced the old 100 amp panel there with two new panels, including a gen tran panel. Ran a line and exterior socket for the generator. Installed a whole house surge protector. Installed a 100 amp panel upstairs.

Casello Electric came out for two different canister light installations. Both times, the electricians arrived at the time scheduled and installed ceiling canister lights quickly. They laid down tarps before starting work and you'd barely know they were even here after they left. They did a fantastic job, the lights are exactly what and how I wanted, and I would definitely use them again!

The electricians installed new circuit breakers and ran wire from the electrical box to where needed by the heater and power box. They installed the heater on the ceiling of the garage and the thermostat next to the entrance door. The final installation had all wires hidden. They tested both the heater and the generator connected to the interlock switch. A very nice job that took about five hours.
Description of Work: 1. Installed a 30 amp heater in the garage which included adding the wiring. 2. Installed an interlock generator transfer switch and a 30 amp power box connection on the outside of the house.

Perfect. Nick from Casello showed up and started work early, listened to what was needed, and started working immediately. Very quick, efficient, and knowledgeable. Cleaned up after himself and it was almost like he was never there. Couldn't have gone smoother.

Excellent. Casello returned my call the same day. The electrician showed up on time. He was completely professional. He took good care of my home and even offered to remove his shoes (he wore sneakers instead of heavy work boots - yay!). The work is neat, clean and tight and the price was very reasonable. I'll definitely use Casello Electric from now on.

The company sent along their apprentice electrician to do the work. He was one time, very friendly, easy to talk to and did good work at a reasonable price. I built a split 2/x insulated soundproof wall between the bath and adjacent master bedroom. I carefully insulated all tightly. The vanity light and one switch/outlet box had to be run there. I thought he was a little sloppy around my soundproof wall. He somewhat carelessly pulled/tore aside insulation and did not replace it when done with the rough in work. I had to take some time to fix to restore the soundproofness. I wished he had been a little more careful about that. (Maybe he intentionally left it since I was clearly trying to keep costs at a minimum. He still should have acknowledged the mess and asked if I wanted him to fix it or let me do it to save time/cost. The rough in inspection went fine w/o problems. He came back a couple months later (when we were ready) to wire up the fan/light, vanity lights, and switches/outlets. He even brought a treat for our dog which was nice. He finished up efficiently. The inspector came after for the final electric inspection and found one outlet not up to code (not tamper proof). Admittedly I had purchased all the materials. But the electrician failed to notice this one switch was not up to current code, else I might have run out and replaced it while he was there. I will replaced it myself. More concerning, he did not wire up the night light in the fan/light unit. I did not realize until after he was done. During rough in, he did not run an extra wire (or 4-way wire) for it to the switch box. Then during the finish work, he did not mention that it was not wired, even when I gave him a night light bulb to install, and only gave him a fan timer switch and single light switch (would need a double switch for the night light). When I called their office later to complain, they explained most customers never like the night lights in these fan/light units (not bright enough?) so they just never install wiring and switches for them. I wish they had asked me or eplained that on day one so I had the choice. I think I would have wanted it. Now running the extra wire will be a real pain with everything closed up. (We will probably just live without the night light. Peter Casello (owner) did promptly return my calls and emails when I complained about these two things. He explained things and offered to "give me a break" on future work. So that was very good/professional after the fact to make up for things. He did not offer to come fix things at no cost. That would have been excellent service.
Description of Work: We were turning a 2nd floor closet and part of bedroom into a new 3/4 bath. We did most of the work ourselves except for plumbing and electrical. I would have done the electric myself but it was my partners house (I was not the homeowner so technically not allowed to pull the permit and do the work. Had to hire an electrician to pull the permit and do the work). It involved a new 20A circuit from the panel in the basement, two vanity lights each with their own switch, two dual outlets by each switch, plus a ceiling fan/light/night light unit with it's own switches. I did as much of the rough work as I could: buying all supplies, laying out all fixtures/switches, mounting all switch boxes to the studs, running new wire from circuit breaker box upstairs, drilling holes and running wires between the boxes, mounting the fan housing. The electrician had to wire up the boxes, connect the new circuit breaker, wire up the fan/light. I had not wanted to hire this out so was happy to find someone who would let me do parts of the job.

I was very disappointed, I had used him in the past but no more. First I called the number I had on file -no answer. After a week, i went to Angie's List and saw a different number, I called that number, he answered and said that the other number I called was still in use but sometimes calls aren't transferred correctly. He was to come on the next Saturday for an estimate, told me to call him back and leave a message so he would have a record of it and he would not answer the phone. I did, and asked him to let me know what time. (I heard his answering machine identify him) I didn't hear back about the time. On wednesday I called and said I need to reschedule and for that matter wasn't even sure if he was planning on coming out Saturday, I did not hear back from that call, I called him the next day, late in the day I also emailed. He replied to my email that I had the wrong person. Thing is I looked at my caller log on my iphone and the number that I first spoke to him on was the same number I had called going forward. AND each time I called the answering system identified him. I also wonder if he ignored the calls since he didn't remember the appointment. It would have been more professional of him to call and let me know he thought i had the wrong number rather than ignoring two calls. Especially bad since I had previously spoken to him and it seems he had forgotten. I don't know what happened. He used to be the only person I would call for electrical needs - but not more. I now use VMA Electric and I am super happy with them.

Response from Casello Electric
Dear [member name removed]– I am sorry to hear that you had a problem arranging electrical services last October. From our records, I can see that you used our service 5 times from 2004 through 2006. We would have been happy to help you again last October. Unfortunately there was a mis-communication somewhere. According to our records we received 1 phone call and 1 email from you. Both the email and the call indicated that you already had an appointment scheduled for a Saturday. Since we do not do Saturday appoints, we felt confident that you had arranged this service with someone else, thus we responded to you indicated as much. I am sorry that you felt our service was inadequate. We pride ourselves on returning all calls and according to our records, did return 1 call and 1 email to you. Unfortunately, we cannot account for the communication that resulted in a Saturday appointment with someone, who that someone was, I guess we will never know. If you would like to try us again, please feel free to contact us at 978-779-9900 or peter@caselloelectric.com. We will definitely respond to you.

Response from Casello Electric
At Casello Electric we strive to keep our costs competitive. As such, we have not increased our hourly rate since 2007. Unfortunately, the final bill often includes expenses beyond our control, namely, the material costs. We try to use reputable suppliers and vendors who will warranty their products so that our customers do not have a problem down the road. Unfortunately, this means we are not able to secure material at the low, low prices of a box store. In this particular instances, almost 50% of the bill was a result of material costs.

We recently bought an old house that had Knob and Tube wiring throughout. The home insurance bill was "double" because of all the old wiring. The panel had already been updated to 200amp, and the major appliances had been rewired, but the remainder of our 4-bedroom home had antique wiring, old 2-prong, and very few light switches. Casello electric came in and rewired the entire house. I had them install almost all new lighting, new switches, exterior lights, and additional outlets in every room (some rooms only had one outlet). All wiring was brought up to code (GFCI in bathrooms and kitchens, regularly spaced outlets in all the rooms, etc). These guys are professionals at snaking wires through walls, floors, and ceilings. This is an OLD 4-bedroom house on two stories and they only had to make 2 small holes in one ceiling, which they professionally patched. There is no other indication (besides the new outlets, fixtures and switches of course) that all the wiring in the house was replaced and that a lot of additional wiring for new outlets was added. They installed numerous lights and ceiling fans (which I bought before hand), and added switches were there were none before. They also mounted a flat screen TV on the wall for me, added an outlet behind it, and ran the HDMI cables through the wall so that they were hidden. And finally they wired up a generator panel into my service panel so I could easily plug in a generator and run key househould items if the power ever went out. Casello is super easy to work with. I "paid as I went", spacing the work out a couple days each month until the job was done. Each time they left me with a newly re-wired room, and cleaned everything up SPOTLESS. The cost was not the cheapest I was quoted, but "you get what you pay for". For the quality of work they did I think they charged a very fair price. I'm very happy with the work they did, and I will surely call them for any electrician needs I have in the future.
Description of Work: Casello re-wired my entire house. New wiring was done throughout the house to replace old knob and tube wiring. Additional outlets were added and all existing outlets and switches were replaced. Additionally, new code-compliant breakers were put in where needed (AFCI). 20 amp lines were run to bathrooms and kitchen and GFCI outlets installed. Also mounted new lighting and ceiling fans, mounted flat panel TV in wall and ran cables through wall so they did not show. Rewired all basement and exterior lights and rewired generator panel.

I've used them once before. It went smoothly. The owner gets back to me usually within 24-48 hours, but in an emergency he would call me right back. They showed up right when they said they were going to. Ben was the person who actually did the electrical work, and he was very professional. Not only did they do good work and have a good price, CASELLO ELECTRIC's workers that they did not blast music, use inappropriate language, or tell crude jokes. I've recommended them to my friends. They're my electrician now.

I had called 2 weeks in advance to make an appointment for the installation of a new, bathroom light fixture. They returned my call promptly and scheduled the installation for a time that worked well for me. The electrician arrived on time (within the hour window) and quickly went to work. He was very friendly professional - he laid down a cloth to cover the sink, worked quietly, and took great care in what he was doing. He finished the job in approximately 1/2 hour. I have used/hired Casello electric several times. They were originally recommended to me by a well-respected audio/video store in Newton. I have been very pleased with Casello - they always return calls, they are always prompt and very professional. In addition to installing light fixtures for me, they have also installed additional cable lines - when they did this they walked me through all of my options (for location, etc.) and they explained everything along the way. I would highly recommend Casello electric.
