She's a pleasure to work with, very punctual, tidy and has a great sense of humor. We found it handy to have a punch list ready for pricing and work, and overall had a very pleasant experience. She was also very good with our dog, who can be problematic.
Description of Work: Cre did all the electrical work for our condo remodel and was a bargain compared to other estimates I heard. New lines, outlets, recessed lighting, a ceiling fan, and 220V electric heater installation were all completed.

Cre adjusted her schedule and then came out to our house to run wires and install a ceiling fan/light combination in our bathroom. Her work was great, she's also a lot of fun to talk to and work with. She has a great attitude, does great work and is reasonably priced. What's not to love?

Finding Cre was enough to make an Angie's list membership worthwhile. I called her on the weekend to ask about doing the work and she called back promptly on Monday morning. I can echo all the favorable things others have said about her. Her assistant, Hector, also did a good job, and the price was quite reasonable for two people. I thought my bathroom fan was broken but she showed me how I was operating it wrong. I suggested replacing it anyway but she advised against it because the one I had was a better quality. Excellent, honest work, and a thoroughly delightful person.
Description of Work: A lot of odds and ends for a recently purchased home. Installed remote controls in two ceiling fans, bathroom fan timers, changed two lighting fixtures, added a wall outlet and changed a two-way switch to a three-way. Fixed wiring in panel box.

Cre came on time and checked what needed to be done. She and her assistant worked consistently and finished the job in a very professional manner. They also cleaned up nicely after their work was done. .We're really pleased with the quality of her work . It's such a relief to know that a job will be done conscientiously.

Cre is awesome. She and her assistant worked hard to diagnose then solve the problem with the mud room. They were diligent about not doing damage to the existing walls or ceilings and were very good about explaining the work that needed to be done. They worked quickly and with very good quality. My favorite part is about the chandelier in my dining room. Because I have such an old house and plaster everywhere, when she took down the old fixture, the wires were old and 'crispy'. As they worked to fix that, she actually ran all over town to find a piece to hold the thing in place (didn't come w/ the light). She found one at a local supply store and the light looks awesome. She definitely went above and beyond to get the light to look right. The quality of work shows.
Description of Work: I had my kitchen re-modeled and noticed afterwards that the power to my mud room and backyard was not working. I decided not to bring back the electrician that did the work in the first place and called Cre. She and her assistant identified the issue (the other electrician cut the source) and worked tirelessly to fix it. She also installed a chandelier in my dining room and re-wired my bathroom lights and fan to work properly.

Cre came out initially and had to troubleshoot the problem. She spent a good ampount of time in doing so. I rescheduled with her for a date the work could be completed. She fixed the problem very quickly. Cre showed me all the work that had to be done. She was very good at explaining what was going on and what needed to be done. Cre was able to show me the problem and explain what could happen if it was not fixed properly. I was very happy with her work and asked her to come back to do some other things.
Description of Work: Ther was a breaker that was tripped which knocked out the power in three rooms in the house. Cre trace the line from the breaker through the house. The wiring was rotted all the way through. Cre found another junction box which this wire lead to. Cre had to rewire that particular line.

I did not notice that the coupling was broken, only that the pipe covering the electrical wires to the house was no longer attached to the house. After her initial visit to document the problem, she noticed the coupling issue and revised the quote. I had to call her to get her to schedule, but she came on the day scheduled and finished the work for less than her estimate. Overall, a very good experience.
Description of Work: Replaced the outdoor coupling for electric meter and piping. Attached piping to house

Extremely well. Cre was very quick to respond to my email and clearly communicated with respect to when she would arrive. Cre did a very thorough job of evaluating the work to be accomplished and explained in clear terms where issues existed and what remedies would be required. When it came to estimating, Cre provided a range (the final cost came under) -- but did a good job of letting us know what the high-end might be so we were prepared (billing was hourly). Cre went out of her way to keep our condo clean, was prompt and finished on schedule. Cre was also very friendly and easy to do business with. We would absolutely use her again.
Description of Work: Cre replaced active knob-and-tube wiring in our condo, patched the holes required to complete the work, and re-connected ceiling fans that were installed improperly (and dangerously) by a previous electrician.

My experience with Cre has been all positive. From the moment I spoke to her on the phone she was helpful and professional. She gave free advise and charged a fare price. I called her and she answered her phone directly. My needs were rather urgent because I was selling my condo, and the appointment was scheduled for three days later. My experience was A+
Description of Work: I am selling my condo and the home inspection found that my microwave was not properly wired. (an unfortunate situation with a botch job done by a friend), and the end result was I passed inspection and sold the unit. Since, I have had her back to do some lighting installation and I will continue to do business with her.

Cre responded to my call the same day and then arrived as agreed to see what needed to be done. The work was then scheduled and completed within one week of my call. This included wiring through walls and ceilings and great cleanup after the installation. They were a pleasure to work with and Cre gave great advice about other work needing completion. They did a great job!

Cre immediately responded to my call and promptly showed up to look at the scope of the job. She came back when she said she would and quickly completed the work in several days. The stove fan switch was over thirty years old but she was able to find the replacement and it works perfectly now. I think it took some running around on her part to find it which she did not charge us for. Her fees were very reasonable for the work she did.
Description of Work: We had not had an electrician visit in sometime, so there was a series of little jobs including adding a number of outlets and repairing the back porch light and a stove fan.

Cre was prompt, cleaned up the work site beautifully and did a wonderful job installing the sconces. I already hired her to check out some kitchen lighting that may need improvement and to install an overhead fixure on teh second floor. She's highly reliable and I look forward to using her for all my electrical/lighting needs.

Cre is great. Very professional, determined to figure out how to complete the job, and also remarkably realistic in assessing the difficulty of digging into odd spaces in an old house. This involved a certain amount of cutting into walls and sub-areas. While the job took longer than we'd hoped, she never made false promises, and included me in each decision to proceed. She was also sensitive to keeping the cutting in low-use spaces. Once the pathway was in place, she worked quickly to get the circuits hot so I could get on with my project.

Cre and her assistant, Manny, did a superb job replacing the antiquated wiring with modern ?up to code? wire, replacing our switches with programmable motion detectors, and installing new lighting fixtures. Further, she discovered some ancient knob and tube wiring in dark areas of the basement that had been ?overlooked? by a previous contractor, and replaced that at no extra charge. She did an excellent job with all of this, and even filled in holes in the walls created to pass new wiring VERY neatly. Finally, she was invariably reliable, communicative, courteous, and efficient. Best of all, her final bill was 25% under her original ?conservative? estimate. When next we need electrical work done, we will certainly call Cre again. We are extremely pleased with all aspects of her work and her dealings with us, and give her our strongest recommendation..
Description of Work: After obtaining several other estimates, we requested an estimate from Cre to replace the original wiring and lighting in one stairwell of a three story residential building built in 1908. We were aware that this would be a complex job, as switches on each floor controlled lights in multiple places, and other electricians had either been reluctant to tackle it, or submitted extremely high estimates. Cre, submitted what she termed a “conservative” estimate for the work, by which she meant the maximum she believed the job might cost (3 or 4 days of work by 2 persons, plus materials.) Even this estimate was less than others', and we chose to have her do the work.

Cre and Manny were fantastic. We had been putting off numerous electrical projects for years for fear of the cost and effort involved, and I really wish we had found them sooner. They spent a lot of time with us before starting work examining our wiring, listening to our goals, and making great suggestions. They were flexible with our schedules, always on time, and constantly communicating with us at every step of the way. They gave us a clear estimate of the expected cost and duration of the work, hit the ground running on day one, and finished the project as planned. The work is great quality - we are very happy with the results. I will not hesitate before hiring Cre and Manny again or recommending them to any of my friends and family.
Description of Work: Replaced old knob and tube wiring with updated electrical wiring, which powered 4 overhead light fixtures and 16 electrical outlets; wired and installed a new outdoor outlet; wired and installed new recessed lighting in a hallway and a closet, including 3 switches; wired a new ceiling fixture and switch in a living room

We are very impressed with all the work Cre and Manny did for us. Cre manages a nice balance between being professional and being friendly and personable. She was very good about setting work times with us on a daily basis -- we always knew when to expect her and they came when she said they would; the one day they came an hour late Cre called well ahead to let me know that they were held up at the supply store. Cre and Manny were respectful of our home and were clean and careful about not tracking a mess throughout the house. The rough electrical work was done in the time Cre estimated and was done well. The finish work we feel was exceptionally done, with attention to detail and care taken to limit the damage done to the existing finishes. The price for the work done was within the estimate Cre gave us and we feel was very fair for the range and scope of the work done. We highly recommend Cre Tsolias for any electrical projects you have!
Description of Work: Cre and Manny installed 3 electrical outlets, modified a standard light switch into a 3-way switch in our closet, installed speaker wire and volume control on our existing system, and wired for and installed several light fixtures (full wiring in some locations, finish fixtures in others). Roughly half of the work was done in the framing stage of a project; the other half of the work was done in finished spaces.
