The electrician showed up on time, worked efficiently, helped me figure out why my lights weren't turning on, and cleaned up. He was professional and knew what he was talking about. I have used this company before and will again.

Description of Work: They showed up on time, they did all the work. They are very friendly and professional. About 20% of the project involved a connection to the garage. There was some bad wiring there and they had to come back a couple times to get it all working, but wasn't anything they did wrong.

During some previous service work, the drip pan in our central air condition was tilted slightly backward, causing the water to drip onto the floor instead of drain out the tube into the floor drain. We would have never figured this out on our own, but the tech from Paul Stafford identified the problem right away. He leveled the pan and anchored it with some braces - works perfectly now and no dripping! Paul Stafford HVAC techs are always terrific - we've used them several times and have always been very satisfied with the work they do.

We had Stafford do two different jobs for us in the last two months. First we hired them for the lighting project. The person who came to do the estimate was very up front with us about what really needed to be done & what could wait. They were happy to break the estimate into two parts for us this way as well.The installer was very prompt, actually early. He worked very cleanly & made sure to check with us on placement. He did such a beautiful job we didn't have to do any wall repairs even though we had two new light fixtures & a switch installed. The women in the office made setting up the inspection with the city very easy. Then we decided to do the A/C & heating work. We originally called the company that at originally installed it for an estimate. They charged us for an estimate & proceeded to tell us all the ways the HAVC was installed wrong (remember they installed it). So we decided to call Stafford again. The person who came to do the estimate had lots of ideas to fix issues & new technologies to get around other. Plus he looked for things to reuse, such as the A/C slab to save us money. They came in with a lower estimate. All the work was really well done & they seem to take very good care of your house while they are doing it. We would use them again in an instant.
Description of Work: Add new pendant light & wiring over kitchen sink. Add new light, light switch & wiring in hallway Move A/C unit to a new location Install zone heating & cooling system

Overall it has gone very well and we like them such that we continue to hire them when we need electrical work done. We did have one snafu which was their rewiring of the ceiling fan wiring in one of our rooms. After they worked on this project, the wiring and ceiling fan kept shorting out. On the most recent visit, however, we had them redo this and now it seems to be working fine. They have also been very trustworthy in recommending to us when we believe that we could perform a project ourselves and what it would take to do it (i.e., putting in a new thermostat). We appreciate their candor in this regard.
Description of Work: We have used Paul Stafford on a number of occasions over the past two years for our electrical needs. This has included puttng in new outlets in new walls, rewiring lighting sources, installing electrical for ceiling fans, etc. They are very reliable and do good work. They are not inexpensive but we feel very comfortable with their work and reliability so we believe it is worth it.

I found them very professional, I paid for their time, and crawling around in my attic crawl space (not fun). They were very honest, and didn't try to do something for me that I really didn't need. I would call them again.
Description of Work: I expected to spend a lot more, but after looking over my house it became clear that my initial plan wasn't going to work. Instead of putting in new circuit, they checked everything over, looked at one circuit that I thought was not working to determine the problem, and discussed what they found.

I spent hours with all three HVAC companies, with multiple visits by each. Dan was the ONLY company that delivered a proprosal. And, he was very flexible, redoing it three times to get the right solution. We opted to not do the project this year, but it is on our list for next year. There is no question we'll call Dan back. I recommend working with him.

First, I mentioned angieslist ahead of time so instead of getting the advertised 10% off he jacked my price up 10% so it was about even with the competition. I went with Stafford anyway. [moral here is if the discount is still in effect ask for it AFTER you have a quote] They worked in a relatively timely manner. At one point they asked me if I would sell my furnace to someone else because they had run out of them and it had a long lead time, thought that was kind of funny. Workmanship seems to be pretty good. Issues I had were with communication as I was expecting a few things to be included (ie: gas line for stove) that the quote seemed to include, but the work was not done and I ended up paying for it. Ended up feeling nickled and dimed a bit. I have worked with other contractors that have been very good about communication and I'm not sure if Stafford is too big to do this effectively or what the deal is, but it was enough to turn me off. Work was completed as promised with good quality and relative timeliness and only the above issues. If you are comfortable working with contractors maybe this is typical, but I don't much and would not recommend to someone who is not used to 'contractor antics'.
Description of Work: Put in a horizontal furnace in the upper unit of a duplex along with all ventilation, AC [A-coil & line set only].

Excellent! Their estimator was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He was able to discuss options with me in terms I could understand and worked to find alternative solutions to meet our needs within our budget. The installer was equally courteous and competent. The work was performed in a timely manner and the workmanship was excellent!

Everyone was excellent, from the telephone operator to the installer. All questions were answered. The work was performed quickly, cleanly, and professionally. When the city noted a (picky) problem during the inspection on the install, our installer came back quickly and fixed the problem. We love our new furnace and will call them again if we need them!
Description of Work: We called when our furnace went out. They came that day and diagnosed the problems, which we decided were not worth repairing on our 30-year-old furnace. They installed a high efficiency furnace the next day. They even offered to bring us heaters to use in the meantime.

I had four contractors come to bid on the project and the person that came out representing Stafford saw all of the difficulties that would come up and knew how to deal with them. I didn't have to point these things out as I did with the other contractors. He was very intuitive about how to deal with the project. He seemed by far to be the most in command of the difficulties and how to address them. They gave me a quote and stuck to it. For the amount of work that they did I believe the quote was fair.
Description of Work: They installed a second heating plant and moved all of the ductwork from one side of my duplex in the basement to the other. This was so that I could finish my half of the basement. They also installed two vent fans one in each bathroom and vented them through the roof.

Great. They came recommended from a contractor I know. The bid was clear, quickly done, and sent via email and regular mail which I appreciate. The electrician was very professional. He did a really good job of keeping the old plaster in good shape. The demo work he had to do was done neatly. I had no concerns about the project from start to finish. The electrician was personable, easy to talk to, and answered all of my questions clearly. Everyone at Stafford was very responsive and fast to deal with any of my questions. I had to coordinate this work with some other work and my own life, and they were able to set a schedule that worked around what I needed and stuck to it. No problems with the little changes I asked for, no problems with the billing. The Angie's List discount is very nice. Based on the recommendation I heard, and then after reading Angie's List, I didn't get other bids so I can't really comment on the price, but I'm really happy with what I got.
Description of Work: Rewired master bedroom which included installing a new arc-fault circuit breaker, fishing wires behind plaster, removing old surface-mounted wire molding, installing new boxes, a new ceiling light, new switches and closet lights. Also did a couple of miscellaneous smaller projects throughout the house.
