Description of Work: We had an emergency situation and he came that day, which showed concienciousness. Very pleasant.Offered him more work, which he started, and even came twice just to check on potential dangers that arose. But then, never came back to complete the job, nor responded to calls. Ran into him in town and said he would try to come back but that was the last we heard from him. Service may have been earlier than 2013. Was happy with him until he "disappeared".

Exactly as I would have hoped. While the fans were lowered, they even asked me if I wanted to come clean them off before they reinstalled them on the longer poles (which I did, since they had about 10 years of dust and grime built up on them!)--they could just as easily have simply reinstalled them without calling that to my attention, and I really appreciated the fact they took the time to give me that chance.
Description of Work: They lowered two ceiling fans in our family room using long metal tubes we had purchased beforehand. It wasn't a terribly complicated job, but it required care and climbing a VERYT tall ladder to reach the vaulted ceiling where the fans were situated. We had been told previously by a painter that it would cost us several hundred dollars to get it done. McVey charged $49 (Groupon price for 2 hours of work).

Mr. McVey arrived on the day he said he would. He proceeded to make a list of all the types of electrical supplies. He then checked his vehicle for what he had available. After assessing his supplies he told me he would have to run to the hardware store to get the special switches and recepticles that he didn't have. I offered to go for him so that he could get started. When I returned he had already done most of the "regular" switches and recpticles. He continued on and finished all the work I had for him. I thought I would have to pay him extra to get all the work done but he whipped right thru it. I was impressed with his speed and knowledge. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!
Description of Work: Mr. McVey changed several light switches and recepticles.

I called Jason because the lights in the house were flickering and going out regularly. He came out that afternoon and immediately identified the problem as the meter box outside the house. He promptly called CMP who begrudgingly came out and cut the power to the house so he could work. He replaced the box, fixed the previous install that caused the problem to begin with and then waited for hours with us for CMP to come back out to reconnect power. He provided a generator while we waited so we could turn on a heater and lights. He was courteous, professional and went far and above what he was expected to do to make sure everything was right. I would recommend him to anyone and he will be who I call in the future for electrical work.
Description of Work: Diagnosed the flickering light issue. Replaced and sealed meter box.

Like I said previously, the response time was great, he was professional, and performed some of the job very well. I just thought some of it was sloppy and of course the worst part was that it was left incomplete.
Description of Work: I had a coupon for $59 for 2 hours worth of work for this electric company so I called Mcvey Electric to run electric into the ceilings in all 4 bedrooms in my house so I could install fans. I was surprised and happy that he could come out right away. He performed the work in a professional manner. He ran 3 of the 4 lines and 3 of the 4 wall sockets that coincide with those drops. He was there approx 5 hours but could not complete the 4th drop as he had other jobs to get to. This was understandable to me since he was able to come right over, however he never came back to finish the work. Although the installation of the drops in the ceilings were done nicely, including the ceiling fan brackets, in 2 of the 3 rooms he did complete, there was drywall damage where he installed the switches, which was not brought to my attention when the work was completed. I had to patch them myself afterwards.

We made arrangements with Jason to visit out renovation site to provide electrical consulting, code compliance, and planning services. Jason arrived on the planned date at the ageed time. Jason inspected our project and provided guidance and advice for equipement used, layout, code compliance considerations, best practices, and testing of the electrical work to be performed. Once the majority of the electrical work had been completed by us, Jason returned to inspect the work and offer suggestions and corrections as needed to obtain a successful electrical code inspection. Jason's experience and advice made our project easy to implement and complete within the deadlines we were under. I would recommend McVey Electric to anyone requiring an experience electrical contractor to consult or complete work in a timely manner and at reasonable costs.
Description of Work: I employed Jason McVey for 2 hours of electrical contrator time thru a coupon voucher offer. Jason provided quality electrical consulting and planning services for a renovation project we were working on.

I purchased a Groupon for two hours of electrical work from McVey to put in a ceiling fan. I purchased the fan myself, and then made arrangements with McVey to come to my home to install it in our bedroom. He was pleasant on the phone and we set a time for him to come to put in the fan. He showed up on time and went right to work. He had to get into our attic through hatch in order to install the fitting for the fan in the bedroom ceiling, and to connect the wiring to a wall switch which he also put in. I paid him for the additional materials used to install the fan, and we have been very happy with the result. The fan works well and Mr. McVey was very pleasant and professional to deal with.

Description of Work: I used a coupon that I bought through Angies List to get two hours of electrical service from McVey Electrical Service for $49.00. The job was to install a ceiling light in my new kitchen. The contractor arrived on time , was very professional and completed the work in a timely manner. The site was kept very clean and I absolutely love the added light to our kitchen. Thanks so much !!

From the initial estimate to completion of the work, Jason was prompt, thorough and fair. We recently purchased our house and I felt the electrical service needed to be upgraded. Jason surveyed the issues and concerns I had and proposed a solution which would allow me to expand my electrical needs in the future. His knowledge and expertise made me feel confident in his estimate, and I accepted his proposal. Jason immediately started planning and making the necessary arrangements and we agreed on the scheduled work date. Jason arrived promptly at the scheduled time and allowed me to observe and ask questions. He upgraded our Main Service panel and fixed the existing spaghetti arrangement of wiring entering the service panel. The result was a new panel with new breakers and a much neater appearance in the wiring. I also received a homeowner's education from Jason, with advice on anchoring wires and proper terminal tightening. He also viewed wiring for our hot water heater and laundry room to assure me everything was "OK". When Jason finished I felt confident we now had a safe, robust service panel with room to expand if necessary. I would not hesitate to use Jason again, and I recommend his services. Contact him and you will see what I mean.
Description of Work: Upgrade existing Main Service panel and inspect wiring for laundry room and hot water heater. Remove and replace Main Service panel with current standards panel.

He was concerned about the risk presented by the problem described and suggested that he tend to it the same day. He went to the house and performed the work necessary. He was prompt, pleasant, and professional. I would not hesitate to contact him again should I need electrical work done.
Description of Work: A combination of needing an electrician urgently, a special offer from Jason McVey through Angie's List, and a positive impression when he was called resulted in having Mr. McVey go to a house in which we had tenants in Gorham to assess a faulty electrical outlet.

Description of Work: Mr. McVey arrived when he said he would and speedily replaced 8 hardwired smoke detectors. I didn't realize there was a lifespan for smoke detectors, but even with new batteries they continued to sound occasionally (always at 3am). I would definitely call him again.

Mr. McVey arrived promptly at the scheduled time. He was friendly and professional. Our light fixture was missing a part and he was able to assemble something he had with him in order to complete the job. And, to beat it all, because he completed the task sooner than he thought, he charged us less than his original estimate. This is quite uncommon with our experience with contractors in the past.

As stated in the above projects. Jason is a professional that I highly recommend him on ANY electrical project. I will continue to use his services in the future.
Description of Work: The best compliment one can pay to a vendor is to hire them again. I have been working with Mcvey Electrical on several upgrades with our 1984 built house since October 2009. He has been professional, here when he said he was going to be, VERY fair with his pricing and simply a pleasure to do business with. He returns phone calls punctually and even invoices via emai which is incredibly convienient! I consider him my electrician for any and all electrical work and he has alway been able to accomodate my schedule when working with other trades on time sensitive projects. I highly recommend hiring him for ANY electrical project that you may have.
