Description of Work: Joe gave me one price to get the job. When it was time to get my certificate of occupancy he doubled almost tripled the orginial contract price. He took 3 months to do he work b/c he kept putting me off before I fired them. There are lots of items are still not working. Shawn came to me again for more money to fix his mistakes that the town found. I told Shawn that i wasn't paying it. He agreed to continue working but wanted me to lye online. I finally had enough of the continous talking and no work. After paying almost triple the orginial amount I have lots of items not working. They are also the biggest slobs and don't pick up after themselves at all. Don't fall for their sales pitch or their lines. Run fast away from Shawn and Joe.

Bill was very professional. When he came into the home, he wore paper booties to protect my floors and carpets. He was very efficient and wasted no time. Had all the right tools and all the right parts. He was in and out in a minimum amount of time and did a great job. The job site was left clean.
Description of Work: Bill replaced a light switch for me. Checked the electrical systems of the house to make sure they were in good working order and safe.

I find the prices very fair. They seem to care to make sure that I was happy and that the job was done right. They went above and beyond. They also answer the phone right away. They do background checks on the employees and drug testing, which makes me feel better having a baby in the home. I would use them again in the future and have already recommended them to others.
Description of Work: They have done residential electrical work for me, like replacing outlets, putting in ceiling fans, etc.

The pleasant phone representative at Mr. Sparky set up a prompt appointment and notified me on the day of the appointment when the technician, Bill, would arrive at my house. Bill was neat, polite, helpful, and professional. Before starting the work, he discussed with me exactly what I would like to have done and showed me Mr. Sparky's no nonsense price chart. I knew before the job was started exactly what it would cost. Nothing was hidden or added on later. He then proceeded to do the work in a careful, professional manner, ensuring that everything was perfect before leaving. He was very helpful, always polite, and went the extra mile. Although I have never had to call this company back for a job that wasn't done right, they do have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. I was even left with a discount coupon for future work, although my business is already ensured, due to my satisfaction with the company.
Description of Work: Existing, poor quality cable in my house was replaced with new cable, running the lines through the walls with no splits, to the cable company's connections. I chose this company for the work because of past satisfaction. When I first contacted it a few years ago for a small job, I was impressed that co-owner Michael LaPlante pleasantly arranged to have the work done for me. At that time, at least, other electricians typically didn't even bother to call back if they knew the job to be a small one. Since then, LaPlante Electric, the residential division of which is now called Mr. Sparky, has done several jobs for me in my older home, both large and not so large, and each time I have been treated courteously and professionally, the work carefully done.

They guy that came was very professional and dressed in a uniform. His appearance was very clean cut. He did show up on time as they gave me a 3 hour window. The guy did show up in the earlier part of that window. This worked in my favor because I was on my lunch break.
Description of Work: They removed and replaced my bathroom fan.

Because of a cancellation, an electrician was able to come over the day I called, within the hour. He was very thorough in explaining company policy, what he would do, and how much he would charge.
Description of Work: Replaced a switch, fixed a recessed light that tended to go off unexpectedly, and gave us an estimate on installing recessed lighting.

Technician showed up on time and wore floor savers. He shared different options with me and everything was priced up-front, no questions as to how much it would cost. The technician was able to start the work right then and there, and he did not collect payment until I was 100% satisfied.
Description of Work: Installed receptacles in the basement for a room that is being finished off, and replaced one faulty GFI receptacle in the bathroom. FYI - GFI receptacles are the receptacles with the push button that help reduce the severity of electrical shock.
