Matt was very professional. He did some extra things that were not on the original estimate at no charge. When the RAB LED sensor light on driveway side would not work properly (malfunction from manufacturer) he came back no questions asked and replaced the new one which works great. Very pleased with this company and will definitely use agin.
Description of Work: Installed RAB LED lights on garage, RAB LED sensor lights on side and back of home. Replaced chandelier in dining room. Replaced light fixture over mantle, replaced various light switches around home

I had never had to call an electrician before in the 30 years I have lived in my home. I reached Matt right away on the phone number provided by Angie's List and then I added more details on his site. Matt called back in good time and we arranged an appointment for the following Monday. The repairs went very well after they quickly worked around a few minor complications. Matt and his helper did a great job; they were very professional and efficient. I will call Matt first any future electrical repairs.
Description of Work: They fixed the outside electric receptacle, which had no power, for outside lights. Also, they fixed an overhead light in the playroom downstairs. While they were there I noticed the door bells were not working and they quickly fixed that issue, too.

I liked him and his assistant. They were a little late but not a big deal compared to others I've had. I called them to make sure they were coming and they picked right up and were there in 5 minutes. Work was done and clean up was great. Very friendly.

I bought the Big Deal on AL for $75, but it turned out the job required extra work, so I ended up paying an additional $100, which I thought was fair.

Matt Foley was professional and punctual. However, I would not use him again because of his price. It was $255 for the total job. Switches were $22 each at Home Depot so the Labor charge was $200. All the wiring was installed about 1 years ago. He just changed out the dimmer switches. He did have to go to the hardware store nearby to buy the new dimmer switches but even with that time added the job still took less than 1 hour. When I called him and asked him about the labor charge he said it went over an hour labor because he charged me for his time for the ride from his home in Braintree to my house in Quincy.
Description of Work: Replaced 2 existing side by side dimmer switches in kitchen.

Matt Foley arrived on time. He was pleasant, professional, and efficient. He replaced a pendant light in the foyer (with a very high ceiling), a chandelier in the dining room, and he replaced a lamp post light outside in front of the house. Matt is very skilled electrician. He got right to work; he knew exactly what he was doing, and he did an excellent job!

Matt Foley did it himself. It was great. He got it all done in one day. It was very neat and clean up was good. He tested the outlets and ceiling fan to make sure they were working. He crawled into the attic space in order to check the ceiling fan. He was very nice.
Description of Work: He put in a brand new outlet in a stairwell and an outlet in the dining room. He also put in a brand new box for a ceiling fan and installed the ceiling fan.

Response from Foley Electric
I appreciate you taking the time to leave me a review. I would like to point out to any member reading this, that I was there for almost 5 Hours because they were crystal chandeliers and wall sconces. Also 1 chandelier was a recessed light that had to be converted to a chandelier. I take great pride in the service that I provide to customers, and I feel that the 50+ A reviews I have speak to this. Sometimes, individuals have specific prices they think they should pay for services performed. I may not be the cheapest option, but I do stand by the quality of my work!” -Matt Foley, Owner Foley Electric
