They were great. The guy was nice and helpful. He was professional and told me about problems that may come up dealing with the electrical issues in my home. I used them because I had coupon from Angie's List. I have recommended them to others. It did take a little while to reach them.

We could not have made a better choice. From his first visit to scope out the work, and in each successive visit, Rich listened carefully. He was thorough and clear with his estimates (which compared favorably with other estimates we got). And he was infinitely patient with our many revisions. Rich set clear expectations about what the work would entail. He set a start date and stuck to it. He and his crew always let us know when they were going to show up and what they were going to do – and showed up like clockwork. Crew members (mostly Derek and Jim, but also Mike and Joe) were wonderful. Their work is impeccable, their work habits efficient, and their clean-up habits excellent. Their attitude was great: easygoing, flexible, accommodating, and very personable. To date they have completed all of the wiring and some of the lighting installation (the rest will happen after ceiling work is done). We will continue to use JP McCurdy for any additional electrical work we need and heartily recommend them—with no reservations.
Description of Work: We have an old two-story cape, ca 1849. JP McCurdy did a whole-house electrical overhaul: remove knob-and-tube wiring and rewire all circuits; replace fuses with circuit breakers; rewire ceiling fixtures; wire for (and will ultimately install) recessed lighting in the kitchen, two wall sconces, two closet lights, and cellar lighting; re-wire the washer-dryer outlets; add new switches and outlets; wire for smoke alarms and a kitchen range hood; and add an exterior outlet, and other things I'm sure I've forgotten.

Response from JP McCurdy Electrical Services Inc
Certain requirements are necessary in order for an installation to adhere to Electrical Code. Additional materials were needed such as properly rated in-wall cables, some new electrical outlets, and also a larger mounting bracket for his TV, all of which we gave him a price for. The customer was not satisfied with the price that was provided from our office upon the report from our Electrician at the job site. A compromise for the price was attempted, but unfortunately the work was not elected to be performed. At McCurdy Electric we take pride in our work and will not perform any installation that is unsafe and does not adhere to National, State, and local Codes.

The work went fine, except for the recessed lights in the office. I asked him to replace the bulbs with brighter ones, but he said that to make the office brighter, he would need to install more recessed lights. I repeatedly asked him throughout the work if the lights would be bright enough and he assured me that they would be. He also asked me for the full payment before the work was completed, and when I questioned him about it, he scolded me. When I brought up the issue with the lighting, he responded with an email that was unhelpful and there was no interest in finding a resolution to satsify me as the customer.
Description of Work: He moved some telephones, moved and reinstalled an intercom, removed the remains of a security system box, installed a closet light, and installed recessed lights around the house.

Overall the job went very well. Always came on time (often early). At the initial job they forgot a component needed to finish the job, but Doug got in touch with me right away to reschedule and the job was completed. Even moved the TV up for me after I changed my mind about the height. Very good service and am happy with the TV Mount.
Description of Work: TV Mount- had to purchase the cables and mounting bracket which were sold at a discount.

A+ service. I had discovered a rusty rotting junction box in basement while pulling down some old drop ceiling. I called J.P. McCurdy and was able to set up an appointment that worked with my schedule. The electrician came on time, was polite and professional and was able to take of the junction box in no time at all. While performing this job he was able to give me an estimate on having a new electrical line run to my kitchen for the use of my dishwasher (it kept popping the circuit) the estimate was reasonable and he had finished the job before I realized it. Very professional. I highly recommend them and I will be using them in the future for any electrical needs.

Our experience with Jack and his team was great from start to finish. Jack is extremely knowledgeable about all things electrical and had several great suggestions for us along the way. His team showed up on time every day and got tons accomplished each day. We were amazed at what they were able to do in five days! We coordinated everything through Jack. We found him to be very responsive and receptive. We were very pleased with all their work. Our house really did look better when they were done. The recessed lights came out great, better than I'd hoped. They took care of getting the electrical permit and having their work inspected. I was also impressed that Jack called me a few days after the work was completed to find out if everything was okay and ask if we were satisfied with all their work and was there anything else we needed or that they could do. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for an electrician and would definitely have them back to do more work in the future.
Description of Work: Upgrade from fuse box to 200 AMP service, install 6 recessed lights, install bathroom light/ceiling fan and outlet, replace all 2 prong outlets with 3 prong, mount TV on wall and set up home theater system, replace several light fixtures, install washer/dryer hookups in basement

I set up an appointment to have the work done. I was supposed to receive an estimate beforehand, and I did not. They sent someone out to do the work. We had an early appointment, and the service representative showed up late, however he did call to tell me. After assessing how much the work would cost, he determined that the total price be $475. This includes a bracket, a fee to get a permit to do the work, and also to have adjustments made to my circuit breaker. This turned out to be way more than I was intending on spending to just have my TV mounted. I decided to not have the work done.
Description of Work: I purchased a big deal for $149.00 to have my television mounted.

They answered me right away. They send out one person, some of them send two people and you need to pay for two people. He was here basically right on time and cleaned up after themselves and they were good. I had a problem which may have been partially my fault. I had got a fan that was too big for the space. When I read him all the dimension they thought it would fit. So they could not do it that day. They could do only one of them. I take partial responsibility for that. I read all the measurement that was outside of the box but I also measured something else wrong. Price wise they were little higher than the others and $75 an hour is what I normally pay. Quality wise they were excellent. I will use them in the future.
Description of Work: I used JP McCurdy Electrical Services Inc a month and half ago to install electrical fans in the bathrooms. They charged me $95 an hour.

I purchased the Angie's Deal and expected to wait weeks for an appointment (I had a problem with that on a prior deal). I called and was promptly slotted for service. I received confirmation emails and calls. The appointment was within an hour window -- not a morning or afternoon. Mike -- the electrician -- called as he was on the way. He wore booties on his shoes (even though I said it was not needed) and cleaned up everything. The work was done promptly and well. He made recommendations for some other changes I asked about but was not pushy with the sale. I would DEFINITELY use this company again.
Description of Work: This was an Angie's List Deal for Electrical for two hours of service. It has been so difficult to get an electrician to do small jobs and this was perfect. I had a sensor light changed, as well as several light switches and plugs within the house.

I was adding a new bathroom and needed a licensed electrician to add a circuit. For work reasons, I could only meet with a representative on the weekend. John himself came out to the house and gave me a quote on the spot. I asked a bunch of questions about permitting and he talked me through the whole process of permitting and inspections. His guys showed up when they were supposed do, did the work they were supposed to, and took care of everything they said they would. After working with several contractors on this project, these guys were outstanding compared to the rest. I would definitely use them again. No drama here, they just did a great job!
Description of Work: Added a new 12/2 circuit for a new bathroom, including new tandem breaker, GFCI outlet, exhaust fan and timer, light and switch.

I called because of the deal offered through Angie's list - I was originally looking for an assessment on what could be accomplished with lighting in two areas that don't receive a lot of light. The office staff asked me to send pictures of the areas and encouraged me to go out and purchase the fixtures I wanted installed. I wasn't thrilled with the selection at the local store but made a late night run to go buy the fixtures. (which ended up getting returned the next day anyway) Mike stopped by the next day and took the time to explain to me what could and could not be done in the areas I wanted - he performed some initial exploratory work in the ceilings and found that the fixtures I had purchased would not fit. I greatly appreciated that he took the time to actually listen to what I really wanted and was able to devise a plan on what fixtures would work with the ceiling clearance I had (with ductwork running extensively through out the ceiling) Mike had some great ideas and his expertise was evident. He indicated that the work would take 2 days and when I indicated that I wanted to scale back some of the work, he was more than happy to work with me to make the changes. Mike showed up the following week with another electrician to assist on the ceiling work and both of them went promptly to work, . Mike took great care to cover my kitchen and living room items as the plaster and insulation dust exposed by the work would have made a huge mess. After day 1, he cleaned up the work areas completely (and left it in a cleaner state than it started that day!) Day 2 Mike arrived promptly and continued the work, being meticulous about covering everything up again and finishing up the wiring. I came down midway through the progress and I have to say that the work he did was amazing. The lighting really made a huge difference in the area that was completed. Mike took the time to explain the small changes he made to the original plan and let me know that things were progressing well. He also installed the whole house surge suppressor and changed a GFCI that had been giving me problems since I had moved in. I'm incredibly happy with the completed work Mike did. The mess after the work was non -existent, except for some dust in a few places and day 2 was during a very strong rainstorm - so the fact that the house was that clean was pretty amazing. The ceiling work was great - only two small holes need to be painted and he even removed some screws left in the ceiling from previous fixtures. Overall, I am very happy with JP McCurdy and especially with their electrician Mike. I have some other electrical work that needs to be done in the future and I intend on calling them for the next projects.

I was very satisfied by the work. I had an Angie's List Big Deal, and it was accepted with no problems, and the work I wanted to be done was finished within the two hour time slot. The technician was very knowledgeable about old houses, and immediately recognized and addressed the issues that kept us from installing the fixtures ourselves. I would be happy to use this company again for electrical needs.

I was very pleased with the work. i asked for workman who were experienced with old houses and that's exactly who they sent. The job di run over estimate, but that was because I added some things along the way. The price was very fair (not exactly a bargain) but the work was excellent!
Description of Work: I had McCurdy come to rewire my cable outlets, install several dimmer light switches, install a light in a new closet and run some new phone outlets. The job was complicated by the age of my house (200 years) with a lot of other work having preceded them.
