Sunday night our TV went off. Plugged it into other outlets in the room, but only 1 worked. Called Stockwood and made arrangements for them to be down early Monday morning at 8 a.m. They showed up 5 minutes earlier. Ralph and his coworker were shown the room and the outlets. They went immediately to the cellar to check out the circuit breakers, the box, all the wiring in the cellar. The were very thorough. They then checked all the outlets in the room and found one outlet had a burnt neutral wire that was causing the problem. They replaced the wire and reterminated the outlet. Their price was great for the amount of time they were here. We would recommend them to others (and we have).
Description of Work: Replaced a burnt neutral wire and fixed the outlet. The burnt neutral wire prevented all the outlets except one from working.

We set a date and time, but when the date came no one showed. I called a few hours after the scheduled time and Walter answered the phone and said he was at another job. Worse, it seemed like he didn't know we had an appointment. He was able to find someone to come over later that day for an estimate. The guy who came over was very nice and knowledgeable and went away with the info he needed to provide us with an estimate. We were told that an estimate takes a few weeks. With no word after three weeks we called and asked about the estimate. Walter said his wife was typing it up and we should have it the following day. Needless to say we still don't have it. If he didn't want the business all he had to do was say so. No problem. Instead he just wasted our time.
Description of Work: We hired Walter to update our electrical a few years ago and were very impressed with the work and promptness. We wanted to add lighting to a bedroom and our basement so we called him for an estimate.

Very well. Their electricians came when they said they would and completed the job to my satisfaction.
Description of Work: They took down a ceiling fan and replaced in when we vaulted our ceiling. They had to add a rod to allow the fan to hang down a bit longer. They also added an outlet in my garage and a spotlight to illuminate my driveway and side stairway. They also came to fix wiring that my contractor accidentally cut while they were doing work.
