Rich Leger is very responsible and easy to work with. He's especially easy to communicate w electronically - it makes it much easier than needing to call during business hours. I just put up my holiday lights and yeah! the outdoor receptacle finally works just fine. in prior installations, the seal wasn't right and water caused the whole thing to irreparably short out. I'm happy that I'm not calling Rich this December - and it made me think I should right a review because the work did withstand the test of time and the weather! He has a team of associates who are delightful to be around - they work methodically and cheerfully - they seem to like their work and each other. Their prices seem to be a good value. I will definitely call them again when I'm ready to remodel or have other needs.
Description of Work: Replace outside outlet. Has also done extensive "fix it" work - replacing switches, receptacles, fixtures; added wiring and outlet for garage door opener.

He has worked at my house on several occasions over many years. The estimate seems a little high but on the other hand I know him and have confidence in him; so I am going to go ahead with him. He is knowledgeable and seems to have a pretty good idea of what he is doing and how it would work. His responsiveness and punctuality is very good. He returned my call, came over and looked at it in a brief amount of time. He seems quite professional to me. He has done fairly extensive work here before and it was very well done. I would continue to use him in the future.
Description of Work: I got an estimate from Greaves Electric Co Inc.

They came right away and determined in short time that a prior contractor had staple-punctured an electric cable from the box. They repaired it quickly by repairing that cable. I was very pleased with their service.
Description of Work: I purchased a home that needed rehabed. I was experiencing a short in the basement. The lights were blinking, the radon pump was effected and more. I went to the fuse box, shut everything off, then back on and sparks flew above me. I called Gaines Electric.

I HAD TWO PROBLEMS WITH THIS COMPANY. THE FIRST WAS THAT IT TOOK 4-6 WEEKS FROM MY FIRST CALL TO GET AN APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED AND THE WORK DONE. THE SECOND WAS THAT THEY CHARGED ME 35% MORE THAN THE ESTIMATE I WAS GIVEN. THEY SENT TWO MEN TO DO A VERY SIMPLE JOB WHICH ONE PERSON COULD HAVE EASILY DONE. IT TOOK BOTH OF THEM 2 HOURS TO CHANGE 3 FIXTURES AND 2 THERMOSTATS. ONE OF THEM WAS A TRAINEE. THE COMBINED RATE WAS $135 PER HOUR WHICH I THINK IS RIDICULOUS FOR THE WORK I NEEDED. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHARGED FOR SOMEONE THEY ARE TRAINING. ALTHOUGH THE WORK WAS FINE AND THE MEN WERE COURTEOUS AND ON TIME, I THINK I WILL TRY SOMEONE ELSE NEXT TIME. ALSO, I GOT A BOOK ON ELECTRICAL WORK AND I THINK I WILL DO IT MYSELF IF IT'S CHANGING A FIXTURE. I JUST TOOK DOWN AN OLD CEILING FAN AND THAT WAS EASY.
Description of Work: THEY REPLACED THREE OLD LIGHT FIXTURES AND TWO OLD THERMOSTATS.

THEY WERE HARD-WORKING, ON-TIME AND PROFESSIONAL. THEY DID A LOT OF WORK FOR US. MOST WAS VERY GOOD, BUT THEY MADE 2 MISTAKES WHILE WORKING, WHICH THEY ACCEPTED RESPONSIBILITY FOR AND PROMPTLY CORRECTED. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WAS THAT THEY WERE NOT VERY ACCESSIBLE AND WERE SLOW TO RETURN PHONE CALLS.
Description of Work: REPLACED ALL LIGHT FIXTURES AND OUTLETS IN AN OLD HOUSE. INSTALLED RECESSED LIGHTING AND A PENDANT IN KITCHEN, AND A CEILING LIGHT IN LIVING ROOM.

SOMEONE CAME OUT INITIALLY AND SPENT QUITE A BIT OF TIME GOING OVER THE JOBS AND EXPLAINING WHICH ITEMS ON OUR TO-DO LIST WERE IMPORTANT TO DO NOW, WHAT COULD WAIT UNTIL WE DECIDE WHETHER TO DO RENOVATIONS ON THE HOUSE, AND WHAT WOULD PROBABLY NOT BE WORTH THE COST. HE THEN SENT A WRITTEN ESTIMATE OF ALL THE SMALL JOBS WE HAD DISCUSSED. WE SETTLED ON A SUBSET OF THE TASKS AND TWO ELECTRICIANS CAME AND SPENT MOST OF THE DAY ACCOMPLISHING THEM. THEY WERE VERY NICE GUYS AND DID AN EXCELLENT JOB, EVEN COMING UP WITH SOME UNIQUE SOLUTIONS TO A COUPLE OF STICKY ISSUES, LIKE WHERE WOULD BE THE BEST PLACE FOR A NEW OUTLET IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM. EVERYONE WE WORKED WITH WAS POLITE, PROFESSIONAL AND EFFICIENT. THEY DIDN'T TRY TO SELL US WORK WE DIDN'T REALLY NEED. THEY SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON EVALUATING THE JOB BEFORE GIVING US AN ESTIMATE. THE FINAL BILL WAS SPOT ON WITH THE ESTIMATE.
Description of Work: THIS WAS A CASE OF MANY SMALL HOME ELECTRICAL REPAIRS. THEY REPLACED TWO OUTDOOR LIGHTS BESIDE THE FRONT DOOR, ONE HALL LIGHT, GROUNDED SOME OUTLETS, PUT IN SOME NEW GROUNDED OUTLETS, AND ONE OR TWO OTHER THINGS.

NON-RESPONSIVE!
Description of Work: HAVE LEFT SEVERAL MESSAGES FOR THIS COMPANY, AS THEY DID SOME MINOR ELECTRICAL REPAIRS FOR US LAST YEAR. THEY DO NOT RETURN PHONE CALLS! MY SUSPICION IS THAT THIS JOB IS 'TOO SMALL TO BE INTERESTING/LUCRATIVE.'

Response from Greaves Electric Co Inc
I guess the fact that i am responding 8 years after you posted this proves how unresponsive I have been;) i am truly sorry that I didn't respond to you. I was running thin and not used to the volume of work we had nor hoe to accurately tell people with confidence our timing. Hope you have found a contractor you are happy with. Regards.

RICH CALLED BACK QUICKLY, GAVE US A REASONABLE ESTIMATE AND EVEN MADE SOME SUGGESTIONS THAT IMPROVED THE INSTALLATION. THE ELECTRICIAN AND HIS ASSISTANT WERE PROMPT, DID VERY NICE WORK, AND COORDINATED THEIR SCHEDULE WITH THE PLASTERER. THEY WERE GREAT AND I'D USE THEM AGAIN. AFTER YOU TELL THEM WHAT YOU WANT, ASK FOR THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS. IT'LL HELP! ALSO, YOU CAN REACH RICH BY E-MAIL.
Description of Work: WHILE OUR ANTIQUE HOUSE WAS HAVING SOME OLD PLASTER CEILINGS REMOVED, WE USED THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE SOME RECESSED LOW-VOLTAGE LAMPS INSTALLED.

I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THEM. THEY RETURNED MY PHONE CALL AND GAVE ME A DATE WITHIN A WEEK OR SO THAT THEY COULD COME.
