Scott visited the house and provided us with several possibilities on how to heat the basement area. We loved his ideas and selected the one that was esthetically best for the house and our wallets. He was on time, was very neat and did a wonderful job. Since then we have called him over to the house to install two bathroom fans. We are very happy with his job and his electrical knowledge.
Description of Work: Installed two in-room heaters for the basement area.

I really liked the owner of the company, and the price was good. They did a good job getting in and out and getting everything installed correctly. We haven?t had any problems. The work looks really clean because the cable lines running through the room don?t show - we had a real good discussion about where to put everything. I would rate them highly and would use them in the future.
Description of Work: We used Signature Electric to put in our flat-screen TV in the living room of our house.

See above. It was really a rather pleasant experience, and can honestly say I've never said that about any contract work I have ever had done.
Description of Work: They handled everything very professional: The bidding process was honest, accurate and in writing. They determined that they could install a Bathroom fan that a previous electrician said was impossible to do. They did not make any wild claims that there wouldn't be drywall damage. They also would be installing a light switch in the kitchen (along with two lights) which they estimated would require some drywall repair afterwards because they assumed they would need to run a line from the attic crawl space utility box to the kitchen below and they would need to open some wall space to do so. The following week after accepting the bid they were at my doorstep exactly at the time they said they would be there. And between accepting the bid and their showing up, the electrician had found some high-tech remote devices that would let them avoid tearing out any wall. The remote devices added another $100 to my bill but saved me probably a lot more in my not having to repair the walls afterwards. They laid down drop cloths in all the work areas where all the junk went. Afterwards they picked up everything and vacuumed. Unbelievable!! He then took his time explaining how the hi-tech remote switches worked.

We had a long list of items we wanted taken care of and Signature Electric did everything on the list expertly and professionally. We were very happy with the quality and promptness of their work.
Description of Work: We used Signature Electric to install 5 ceiling fans, change out a foyer and dinning room lights on two story ceilings, install new outside lighting, put in timers, and change out 2 bathroom fans. We had a great experience and they did a great job with many good suggestions. We would definitely use them again.

It went fine. The situation was very straight forward. There were absolutely no problems, as indicated by my scores. Scott was very pleasant and I trusted him to be in my home.
Description of Work: I had two kitchen ceiling lights that quit working. I have an older home (over 30 yrs.), so this was not a surprise. I hired Scott to fix the electrical problems and then install new light globes that I had purchased at Menards.

I think they were fine. The one worker should have called for help with the work earlier then he did. They fixed the job and our house didn't burn down, which was good! We would use them again.
Description of Work: There was a ground and wiring in the house that somehow got reversed. They had to search through the whole house to find where it was broken. They never found the break but they did a repair that fixed it.

The service provider "no showed" and was unprofessional on the phone. He claims he left voicemails regarding my choice in colors for simple wall plates for an outlet, approximately a 10 cent item (there are three colors). I told him to bring all three, I'll pay the extra $1.00 for them. Instead, he failed to show up and was rude and closed the call "thanks buddy" and hung up on me. Bush league.

Response from Signature Electric & Signature Landscape Lighting
We attempted to contact this customer numerous times time to verify our appointment and the color of the devices in his house. The customer never responded back to our messages, thus we did not send out an electrician. The customer called and complained that we did not come out. We informed him of our attempts to contact him. He did not feel that it was important to respond to our messages. We chose not to work for someone who showed so little respect for other people. Many times we've sent out electricians to jobs only to be told, "we've already had it done, or we've decided not to do the work". We still pay our employees for the time, even though the company does not make any money. This is why we always call to confirm our appts.

This is our second time contracting with Signature electric and we were again very pleased with the pricing and the professional job done by his work crew. Scott, the owner, is very prompt, and responsive to any concerns we have. He is very easy to get a hold of when we call. We feel that this is a very honest and trustworthy business and wouldn't hesitate to call them again.
Description of Work: Upgraded two electrical outlets to handle higher designated wattage. Changed out a fuse box and circuit breaker panel replaced both with one circuit breaker panel box.

electrician, ceiling fans
 + 0 more
Everything was going fine until one of the final days, when the ceiling fan boxes came into place. The electrician could not get a hold of me on my cell phone (during workday hours), so instead of waiting until I got home to consult with me about the boxes, they went ahead and put them in all three bedrooms. These were not the places I specified. Additionally, after all was said and done, I got my bill and it was $1300 more than the estimate. Because of this I had to spend my own savings on the additional payment rather than add money to the loan I was receiving from the community council. Bad business. They also charged me for the extra ceiling fan box they then put in the dining room, claiming it was my fault because they couldn't get a hold of me. Additionally, I now have large unpatched holes in many of my walls and ceiling because they needed to get at wires inside the walls. When putting in the bathroom fan, it was left hanging instead of being installed completely.
Description of Work: I needed to have a complete electrical upgrade; the company gave me an estimate from which I based my loan, for $5,000. I asked to have ceiling fan boxes put in my living room, dining room, and master bedroom.

Response from Signature Electric & Signature Landscape Lighting
THE FINAL PRICES EXCEEDED THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL DUE TO THE CUSTOMER ADDING ADDITIONAL ITEMS THAT WHERE NOT ON THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL. SOME HOLES WHERE MADE IN THE WALLS TO GET WIRES FROM POINT "A" TO "B". THE HOUSE WAS BEING RENOVATED AT THE TIME. WE CANNOT GET WIRES TO GO THROUGH FRAMING WITHOUT EXPOSING THE FRAMING AND DRILLING A HOLE THROUGH THE PIECES OF WOOD. WE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE OWNER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR INFORMATION/ANSWERS BUT DID NOT GET RESPONSES BACK. WE ASKED THAT SHE BE THERE IN THE MORNING SO WE COULD GET INFO, SHE WAS UNABLE. THE CEILING FANS WERE PUT WHERE WE BELIEVED THEY WERE TO GO, BASED ON A WALK THROUGH DURING THE PROPOSAL. THE BATHROOM EXHAUST FAN WAS PUT IN THE EXACT SPOT THAT THE PREVIOUS EXHAUST FAN HAD BEEN. THE ORIGINAL EXHAUST FAN WAS CONSIDERABLE LARGER THAN THE NEW ONE, THUS PATCHING WAS REQUIRED TO FINISH THE CEILING. WE'VE ALLOWED THE CUSTOMER TO MAKE PARTIAL PAYMENTS ON THE ADDITIONAL ITEMS AS HER FINANCES ALLOW. COMMUNICATION IS KEY, BUT IT REQUIRES BOTH PARTIES TO BE PARTICIPANTS.

They were very responsive, and even gave me a part number to go online and buy the part myself (meaning lower price). As soon as we had the part, they scheduled an appointment quickly. When they were here, they were very courteous and even kept our toddler entertained. The work site was clean.
Description of Work: They replaced a relay in a low voltage system, and restored power to an outlet that had been disconnected. For the outlet, they had to go into the attic and find a connection point.

Scott was very helpful initially talking with him. Was able to schedule someone to come out within a week. His estimate was between $250-$300, which he was on the low end off once we got the bill. The electrician did a great job he worked hard and got done sooner than was estimated. Was neat and didn't mind my curious 3 year old. They also did a safety check (for Angie's list customers) and we discovered one of our GFI outlets to not be working which was nice to know.
Description of Work: Set up for a ceiling light/fan in a room with none. Also pulled through wall to add switches.

We have been remodeling our bathroom for one year now. Signature came out in April to do the electrical rough-in and had to wait for us to finish up some other things. Despite the time lapse, they came back out in September and were able to pick up right where they started. Signature Electric was 1 of 3 bids that we received and they had the best price (a valuable coupon too). Scott's bid was half the price of a large, reputable electric company. The communication was also excellent as I was able to reach him by phone and email without delay. The crew, Nick, Alfie and Tim, were very professional, helpful and experienced. Signature was also willing to do work which other companies would not do (e.g. removing the old knob and tubing and installing an exhaust fan in the shower). They also did some other work around the house such as replacing three light fixtures and installing two outlets (one outdoors). Overall, Signature was a great company to work with and we will definitely use them again and will recommend them to family.
Description of Work: Wiredbathroom for two 4" recessed lights (owner supplied), two sconces, an exhaust fan (owner supplied and ducted), a GFI receptacle, dead front GFI receptacle (for fan in shower), switches, and one 20 amp circuit. Permit, demo, set up. MISC: Replaced 3 light fixtures. 1 exterior light on garage. Receptacle on main floor.

The wiring problem happened at about 6:00 p.m. on a Thursday night, as we were working with a light switch. We couldn't find the problem, we didn't actually do anything to the wiring, but half the house went dark and nothing would turn on no matter what we did. We turned to Angie's List to find someone nearby who might answer the phone after hours, and Scott from Signature Electric answered. He was able to have someone at our house at 7:00 a.m. the next morning. Chris figured out the problem pretty quickly, somewhere there was a broken neutral line, but finding it was the problem. He spent about three hours in the morning, and then had to leave to get a wire tracer from his regular truck, which was in the shop. He came back about two and a half hours later with the tracer, and Scott came along to help. Even with the tracer, they couldn't find where the problem in the wiring was, it was probably buried in the ceiling in some junction box that had been covered with drywall, but they did come up with a fix that involved looping a neutral in another light switch that was missing a neutral. I have to wonder if the problem could have been fixed sooner if Chris had the tracer with him when he arrived, and if he didn't wait three hours before going to get it, but I can't tell, since even when they came back with it, it still took them several hours to solve the problem. They were very thorough, were considerate of our home and keeping it clean, and in the end they solved the problem and the dark half of our house was powered again, so I'm happy to endorse their work. Scott even gave us some lessons in how to wire a three-way light switch!

When I called for an appointment, I was able to reach someone right away, and they were able to make an appointment within just a few days. The workman were polite, knowledgeable and time efficient. When I had a question about the billing, the serviceman called the owner right away and let me talk to him. He was very pleasant and we were able to resolve the question in short order. I would definitely use this company again.

I called Scott Hunter from out of town on Monday to schedule this installation at the end of the week. He said he would call me on Friday and was prompt in calling me as he said he would by 9 a.m. Scott said someone would be at my home around 1 p.m. At 11 a.m., the installer called to see if it would be OK to come early. He did and completed the job in about 1-1/2 hours. The company billed me for the work done.

Signature Electric did a great job for us at what turned out to be a very competitive price. Not many electrical companies locally were willing to even bid the job to install the low voltage switching wire on this system. One other company's bid was double the amount of Signature's. The work was very thorough and well executed. More than 2 months later, we have not had a single problem with the system. We would not hesitate to use them again in the future.
Description of Work: Wired a previously-installed (by another service company) makeup air system. The company installed the electrical service to the makeup air system and also ran a low voltage wire to connect to a previously-installed kitchen cook top downdraft venting system, so that when the downdraft vent was turned on, the makeup air system was automatically turned on. Also included running power and automatic on/off switching to makeup air heating system for winter time, so that air brought in from outside is heated to 55+ degrees before recirculating.

1 person from Signature arrived at the agreed time while the other person picked up the bathroom exhaust fan/light. The telephone lines were worked on first. Then 1 of them started on the bathroom project while the other guy fixed the yard light. The project was finished before they thought it would. They swept up the mess they did make but I still did a more thorough of cleaning which I always expect to do with any project I have done in my house.

I used Signature Electric for a ''side job'' on a remodel project I was doing. Upon opening some walls I found some old wiring in a different room that needed to be replaced. Signature Electric had also done some new wiring for my remodel job which was paid for by my contractor. Initially we were overcharged for the ''side job'', but after clarifying the scope of the work with Scott he corrected the price. Scott was good to work with, but I wasn't impressed by professionalism of the original installer who did the work. We were satisfied with the work and the service.
Description of Work: Replaced some old knob-and-tube wiring with new wiring.
