The electrician was courteous, timely, and considerate. The dispatch / office staff was understanding when the tenants neglected to answer the door (causing me to run to the job site). The costs were explained well and the work was performed quite well, with the electrician explaining everything and not skimping on time, despite the fact that Hawkins does not charge by the hour. The main benefit to us was their ability to take Credit Cards, rather than checks, allowing us to manage our properties more effectively. However, their prices end up being higher than ideal.
Description of Work: Added a hard-wired smoke alarm with battery backup to a single unit condo in an older high-rise complex.

The company was very professional and called me within an hour of dispatching the electrician to my home. The electrician arrived on time and found and corrected the problem at the meter box (a loose wire inside a box) within 20 minutes of arriving. The electrician was very polite, personable and professional. Together with the travel charge, the total fee was $262. However, given the time and effort (and amount of travel) required to find and fix the problem, $262 was pretty high. Even if we had remembered to use the $25 coupon the price still seems high.
Description of Work: Had a problem with no power to some lights and outlets in one part of the house. Had Pepco check the lines to the house and they found no problems. Called Hawkins and had them come to the house to repair the problem.

I was very pleased with his work. I pleased about the price as they give you an estimate based on what they do. It is some type of formula rather than by the hourly. It didn't take long to get an appointment. He was very nice and professional.
Description of Work: I had recess lighting put in my living room and one light put in another area.

The electrician arrived on time. He explained Hawkins' fixed price circuit diagnosis and repair fee. Together with the travel charge, the total fee was $262. The $25 Angie's List coupon reduced this to $237. The electrician found and corrected the problem at the receptacle very quickly. He wore plastic overshoes inside the house and did not leave any mess. On the whole, the job was done very professionally; however, given the time and effort required to find and fix the problem, even $237 was pretty high.
Description of Work: Had a problem with a switched circuit where the receptacle was hot regardless of the position of the switch.

As new house owners we wanted to follow up on some of the items our home inspector highlighted for us. After identifying Hawkins through Angie's List I made an appointment just a few days away. They came over, read through our tiered list of items of concern and provided recommendations of their own. They were very detailed and professional with their estimate (a standardized menu of options - which I believe is used throughout Montgomery County) and did the work quickly.
Description of Work: We had our service panel inspected, old outlet boxes replaced with grounded ones, a new outlet installed and a phone line installed.

Prompt and professional. Responded very quickly (2 days) to return to house and correct minor oversight that cut electricity to certain outlets in room where they rewired the ceiling fan. Upfront about prices which though steep was worth it. Sincere and forthcoming; no hidden charges.

As promised, they called half an hour ahead of time to say technician was on his way. Arrived 10:00 a.m. on the dot for a ten to two window. Put on shoe covers and sat down to show me price structure. Was patient with my ideas about the pantry job and offered to waive the $59 trip fee if I decided to do it later.
Description of Work: Installed a new overhead fan in a bedroom that previously had no ceiling fixture, changed wall switch from single to double to allow separate operation of wall socket and fan and routed wire on lighting a pantry.

For this effort, I contacted the main office and requested the same electrician (Dave) that I have used for the past three jobs. Dave called me with an approximate cost of the work to be performed and specification on the fixtures that I would need to purchase. The work took two partial days to complete, but for each day the technicians were on time, completing the agreed upon tasks for that service day. I am very happy with the work. I have used Hawkins s Electric Service since 2000 to update and add electric features to my almost 50 year old house and found their service to be first rate. In the pass, I have had ceiling fans installed in rooms that had no existing ceiling fixtures, outlets added to rooms that did not contain a sufficient number of outlets and "trip" outlets added to bathrooms where no outlets existed. Very please with the service.
Description of Work: Install exhaust fan/light combination with new switch in the upstairs hallway bathroom, install outside lighting (two light fixtures, front and back of house) each with switches, install outside outlet on deck. All light installation required technicians to run wiring from attic(s). The house has two separate attics, installing the lights require access to both attics. The outside outlet wiring was ran from the basement to the deck.

My electrician was very professional and seemed totally trustworthy. When they were delayed in traffic, I received a call from the office updating me on their expected arrival time. They wore shoe covers when walking about the house and cleaned up after the work. The work was done professionally. Permit and city inspection was handled seamlessly. Their fixed rate pricing scheme seems very fair and will help you feel better about the ultimate price.
Description of Work: Upgrade to 200A service from an old 60A fuse box service in a 100-year-old house; demolition and replacement of basement circuits.

THE TWO ELECTRICIANS ARRIVED ON TIME. THEY WERE VERY PLEASANT. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY DID NOT ASK THE CORRECT QUESTIONS IN THE BEGINNING SO THEY DID NOT HAVE THE CORRECT BREAKER WITH THEM. SOMEONE HAD TO COME THE NEXT DAY TO FINISH THE JOB.
