JP McCurdy Electrical Services Inc

Excellent! The young man who came to install the outlet was prompt, polite and professional. I highly recommend this company!

I purchased a and quot;Big Dealand quot; for $125 for an exterior outlet and Whole House Inspection. Technician showed up on time (actually early) and showed me the and quot;fine printand quot; on the Big Deal that states that an interior outlet has to be in existence and opposite the outdoor outlet. There was no existing interior outlet on the opposite wall, and there was an additional charge of$130, which I thought was a excessive since the outcome was only an extra hour of work. He installed the exterior outlet and shut off switch in a professional manner. But, I did NOT get a whole house inspection which was part of the Big Deal. I had forgot about that part of the deal and he did not mention that part either. I asked for an estimate for a digital thermostat install and a bathroom vent/light/heater combination unit install. He looked at the work but could not give an estimate on the jobs. I assume that he is not authorized to do the estimates, but I wish the company sent someone who was authorized to do so. I was told that I would receive an estimate by email in 2 business days. It has been 3 days and I have not heard from the company. The technician's best guess for the estimate was that the bathroom vent unit will require 2 men for 6 hours each! Can you image the cost of the vent install if I already was charged $130 for an extra hour for the exterior outlet? Outrageous. Plus, I would need to hire someone else to put a hole in the exterior brick for the vent, as they don't have the proper tools to do it. Really, pay for 2 technicians for 6 hours each, AND they cant vent the unit themselves???? Before I wrote this review, I already contacted another electrician that does have the tool to vent through brick and can do the job by himself. His estimate for the thermostat and bathroom unit install is roughly 6 to 7 hours @ $80, or a flat rate of $600 regardless of the amount of hours. I am going with the flat rate of $600 since the ceiling has to be partially removed and replaced, an electrical wire of 100 feet has to be snaked from the second floor to the basement, and a vent hole has to be made in the exterior brick and then sealed. I will not be using JP McCurdy as I have not heard back from them in 5 days (3 business days) and I need to move on to someone who can reply quickly and get the work done in a reasonable amount. I will not be using the JP McCurdy company for my future work.

Contractor showed up on time and was professional and efficient. He did a good job and cleaned up after himself. I was very satisfied.

everything was great except for some questioning of a permit that was presented

Electrician called to give me time of arrival. He came when he said he would. Went right to work finishing within a half hour. He gave me an assessment of my overall wiring needs and left leaving no mess behind. Very competent and professional.

Responsive and efficient. Came when they said they would and did what they were supposed to do effectively. I have asked them to come back to do additional work.

Electrical technician Tyler Megaw was punctual, courteous, professional, and seemed to be very thorough (though I am not expert on electrical so need to trust the person I hire). The first exterior outlet that was installed had a problem with the ground fault interrupt so Mr. Megaw replaced it with a new one and re-tested twice to make sure it was a good unit. The outlet was securely and neatly sealed with silicone caulk. We have a 1927 house, in which much of the original wiring is still present. Although the plug-in ground tester seemed to indicate that the interior outlets were properly grounded, Mr. Megaw took two of them apart to see how they were wired behind the plates, and was able to explain to me that the ground tester had registered a 'false positive' and that the outlets were not in fact grounded according to code. He then explained that this would only be a problem if there was a wiring fault, for example, in a vacuum or other appliance where a metal housing could become electrified and shock the user. He drew a simple diagram to show me how this worked, and was interested in making sure I got the jist of the concept, which was very helpful. He was also able to provide us with a rough estimate of cost to bring wiring up to code for our planned (future) kitchen renovation, and clearly explained the reasoning behind the code regulations. In all, very happy with my experience. The only thing that was unclear was the additional $50 town permit required to install the exterior outlet. This was in 'fine print' in the A.L coupon and I recommended to Mr. Megaw that the additional fee be more prominently placed so that fewer customers are surprised by the additional cost... - but in all this is a minor complaint.

The job was a simple one, one for which I bought a Deal - install an exterior outlet. Regardless, it was done quickly and done well. Tyler was nice and very professional, which helped temper any displeasure I had with him being an hour late. He was also very helpful giving me advice on a future light fixture installation. I would definitely use them again.

They said they would be here for the initial evaluation at 730 am and they were very prompt. Went around and gave very accurate estimates of what it would cost to have the work done. We than arranged a date to have the work done. They were very prompt. Work was done in a timely manner. Workers were very courteous and cleaned up after all the installations. I plan on using them again for future electrical work.

Very good...had light installed in pantry closet...good job.

I purchased a Big Deal to have an outdoor plug installed near my deck and get a whole house electrical inspection. It was very easy to schedule the appointment. Tyler arrived when scheduled and called when he was 10 minutes away. He assessed the work that needed to be done to install the plug, and walked me through the process describing the work he was about to do. He completed the work and then did the inspection. We spoke about things that needed to be done (it's an old house with a lot of messy wiring) - he said he would write up an estimate an e-mail it to me. Which he did within a week. I would definitely use them again.

They did a great job, very quickly.

Provider was on time, did the work in a timely fashion and left the work site spotless.

It went great! They were punctual and did great work in our house!

Working on a strict budget as a non-profit organization, McCurdy advised us on ways that the job could be done to accommodate our resources. The owner Jack McCurdy was in constant contact and made several site visits to ensure all was going well. The electrician David Campbell was very professional and did a fantastic job. I cannot say enough nice things about this company and recommend it highly.

Punctual, polite, works fine.

We were very happy with them. They were very good, very courteous and they came when they said they were going to come. They did the work and there was a little bit of a glitch and they came right back and fixed it so everything has been working fine.

Lousy Terrible

Very efficient, friendly and pprofessional.

Service was responsive and punctual. However, that did not pull the permit in time. Also, the permit fee was exsessive.

Couldn't be happier with the work. These guys really know their stuff, with minimal damage to the plaster walls (in fact, you hardly even notice the work!). Given they didn't have any access to the attic (finished), they did an amazing job. The electricians took the time to explain what they were doing and it was a pleasure to work with them. My only complaint (and minor) was just the communication. There was a misunderstanding about the quote which could have led to additional charges (a quick phonecall corrected it). An honest mistake but just required me to be a bit more attentive to things. When the electricians finished, there was no indication that they were done (no phone call, note, etc...). Again, these are really minor things, but it seamed out of place from their marketing (sign up for text message updates, etc...). All and in all, excellent work. If you are an easy going person, then the communication side of it would not bother you at all ;)

My first experience with this provider was A-rated (though I never submitted it). My second and last experience is D-rated. Quickly and professionally responded to my request but the electrician showed up late, didn't seem particularly interested in finishing the seemingly small job on the first day, didn't show up at all on the second day with no notice, and seemed to just mosey in on the third day. The electrician seemed truly indifferent to the fact that I had a painting crew lined up behind his light fixture job...the result being another $800 out of my pocket while we all waited for the McCurdy electrician to show up. Further, the sloppy work required putty/sanding/painting work on my part to fix wall damage associated with a light fixture installation. No apology, just indifference, a full-sized bill, and a big expensive mess for me.

Entire experience was great from first contact, to initial walk-through and quote to service. Very professional and polite, recommended some changes to existing fixtures without pressuring. Showed up on time and we're great to deal with. Will use for more projects in the future.

It felt like a bait and switch as the initial deal was less in cost. The work was fine and it looks nice but the work was not as advertised.

It worked out fine. He came and he did what he was supposed to do. He did a good job. He showed up when he was supposed to.
