We had an intermittent feedback in our front door buzzer, the source of which was unknown. John made a thorough check of everything and replaced the cheapest component, which turned out to be the source of it.

John gave us a detailed estimate and time frame and stuck with both. He is professional and meticulous. We trusted his recommendations. Also, We have young children and felt very comfortable with him and his crew doing work.
Description of Work: Our house was built in 1950's- when we first bought it we found the electric outlets were not grounded. We have used John twice. The first time was to ground all the second floor outlets, install ceiling fans, rewire our upstairs bathroom, redo some work another electrician did wrong, hardwire the smoke detectors in the house. The second time we used John was 1 1/2 years later when we remodeled the basement- he placed recessed lighting, as well as adding additional outlets, in addition to rewiring the first floor.

John returned my call promptly and came to take a look at the projects within a few days. It took about a week to get the bid in writing, and another week to have him break down the cost by item (we asked for this because we weren't sure if we could afford all the work at once). He scheduled the work promptly and finished in less than one day. John worked with 2 employees and everyone was friendly and polite. The work yielded a lot of dust, which they spent time mopping up, but it was still a bit messy at the end. We were very happy with the results: everything works and looks great!
Description of Work: Installed overhead lighting in two bedrooms, hung chandelier & medallion in dining room (and replaced box), fixed broken switch for porch light, blanked off one broken outlet.

I left a message for John leaving my contact information and he quickly returned my call. He was very nice over the phone and we set up a good time for him to come fix the buzzer. I was not able to be home when John came but my wife spoke with him. She said he was very nice, professional, and easy to get along with. He quickly identified the problem and fixed it at a very reasonable rate.
Description of Work: Our condo association's door buzzer was not functioning to let people in downstairs. John replaced a broken part and quickly fixed the buzzer.

Went very well. Everything was done as promised and when promised. He recommended pulling a permit and he handled both visits by the inspector. No corrections were required.

I was contacted promptly, a time was set for the same day, and John was extremely flexible with my schedule and extremely pleasant to deal with. This is the second time I have used him for electrical work - the last time was for adding dimmer switches, and the quality of the work, and the service that time was outstanding as well. Highly recommend this company for any electrical work.

John Vespa is everything a contractor should be, the quality of the work is first rate, he is punctual, and there are never any surprises in cost or anything else. I have been remodeling a bathroom and there were a lot of delays due to problems with other contractors. A fair amount of time went by and I had not contacted him and he called to let me know he was getting very busy and I should book a date for the finish work. It was looking like he could not come until mid November, he took another look at his schedule and found a day sooner. All the work he did on the project went so smoothly it made a very frustrating project that much better. He is a first rate electrician and I can't say enough good things about him and his company.
Description of Work: John was hired to rewire a bedroom/office and the bathroom. He disconnected and removed the old wiring, and rewired both rooms. We also had a few small jobs they did as well. All the people he has working for him are first rate as well and he always double checks everything.

I can not say enough about how impressed I was with this company. They patiently helped me decide where to place the ceiling fan by moving it to several locations to see what I thought. They programmed the remotes for the fans and installed the remote holders on the wall. They even vacuumed the area so I didn't need to clean up after them.
Description of Work: I had them install two ceiling fans as well as a programmable thermostat in my home.

John arrived on time and very soon thereafter mailed us a very reasonable bid. We also talked to John about the electrical system more generally (we've got plenty of knob-and-tube wiring), both when meeting at the house and then in a long phone call thereafter. After those conversations, we decided to scrub the patch-work upgrade and to undertake a full upgrade of the entire electrical system, replacing all the knob-and-tube. Crucially, we'll do this before our planned repainting and before we move in. Hence in the course of soliciting John's bid, in fact we obtained a consultation about our electrical system. John did not invoice us for the time spent on this consultation, but we sent him a check anyway--and we remain grateful for his candor. He saved us lots of future headaches. Even if the full upgrade proves to be such a big job that we are forced to use a bigger company (we are under time pressure to move in), we will call John after we move in for routine electrical matters.
Description of Work: We requested a bid on upgrading various outlets and fixtures in the Boston-area house we are buying.

John was a pleasure to work with. He was prompt, both at the time of the estimate and for the actual job. He and his worker were quiet and persistent with the tricky walls. The walls were neatly patched where necessary and all floors were left without a trace of their work. John also pointed out some other electrical issues without any pressure to do that work.
Description of Work: John wired our home for cable television. Built in 1938 the walls of the house presented several challenges. A light switch was also replaced at his own initiative.

Fantastic! The thoughtful and complimentary comments that I read about John and his company on Angie's List are very true. They were punctual and very organized. John walked and inspected the work of his crew which was wonderful. The lighting that he selected makes our house feel like a home now.

We have had John come by 3-4 times for various electrical work to our old house. He is, in a word, outstanding. Comes on time, knows his stuff, gives great advice, and even tells you when work is unnecessary. Cleans up very well afterwards too. We are extremely picky and have rarely hired a contractor that we were 100% pleased with, but John is perfect.
