I would probably not use them again depending on what I can find and how responsive the next electrician is. I like to call them and make an appointment and they show up in time. I like them to tell me when they are going to be done and finish on time. I do not like to call them back when they leave a job half-done.
Description of Work: I normally use Galaxie.

Description of Work: We first called Bob after we had ripped out a wall in our house and realized that our wiring was a lot weirder than we thought. We told him the situation, in the late afternoon, and he managed to get over to fix our mess the next morning. It was great. We had him back a couple months later to replace and move our panel and upgrade our service before the baby was born. He also installed a bath fan, ran a new gfci outlet, added a couple more outlets, put in some dimmers, added lights in the laundry room, and put in some rough in for the downstairs bathroom remodel. We had him here for a total of 3 days. He was friendly, cheery, and professional at all times. I would happily recommend him to anyone.

We were extremely pleased with the workmanship and the price (we had a number of similar estimates). When the lighting was all done, we asked the Galaxie electrician n to fix a noisy exhaust fan in a bathroom--no problem with adding this on to the work ticket! We will definitely call them for future electrical work.
Description of Work: We had Galaxie replace/install five outdoor light fixture and a ceiling light in the kitchen (which turned out to be putzy and complicated).

I spent about $200 on that work. I would give them an A all around. They did a really good job. They helped me pick a fan that was appropriate. They came with me to the hardware store and helped me pick the fan. Another company had suggested a more expensive fan but he told me that was not required. He was good.
Description of Work: I used Galaxie Electric Inc. about a month ago to install a new bathroom fan.

Unfortunately, we were out of town during the week that the work was done. I will say that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the workmanship; the man did a fine job and we are happy with the final product. It's just that we were aghast when the bill came back at over $500. Most of this was labor; we were charged for 4 hours of labor with an explanation that because of the old building it took quite some time to find the box from which he could run the line. This may well have been true (I don't have any way to know), but it was a difficult bill to swallow. I can't say that I would recommend against hiring Galaxie Electric, but please know that you will be paying $88/hour. Also, I would say it is advisable to have them do the work when you can be around so that you can be confident you are not being overcharged for labor.
Description of Work: We hired Galaxie to run an electrical line to power a bathroom exhaust fan we had another contractor install.

He was very good and friendly. I kind of worked with him. He was quick and efficient. He was very good and I would recommend him to anybody. I had a couple of questions with him on the phone because we did the electrical but we didn't do the final outlets and things hook up because we still had to have the drywall done. When I went to hook it up I wasn't quite sure of a couple of things so I just called him and he called right back and said this wire goes here and that wire goes there. Instead of charging me to come out again he just talked me through things on the phone a couple of times, which was very good. The price included the parts. His price may have a little bit higher than some others. He came when he said he would and he was right on time. He didn't make me feel like an idiot when he talked me through things.
Description of Work: I used Galaxie Electric to do about 3 hours of wiring in the house.

The whole job went smoothly. The sconces were up within an hour, looking sparkly and beautiful. Highly satisfied with his skill and professionalism.
Description of Work: I contacted Robert to install wall sconces, which I had purchased online. Their configuration was beyond the skills of the guys in my family. Robert responded immediately to my call and was the most reasonable in price of the three I chose from Angie's List (all "A" rated people). He came out within a couple days, installed the sconces quickly and easily, even adding a piece to the top where there was a gap between the old hole of my previous sconces. (These were imports, I believe, and not quite the specs American manufacturers use).

We moved into our new house, and soon realized that the ceiling fan in my daughter's room was falling down. We removed it (rather inelegantly) and managed to mess things up so that no power was going to most of the outlets in that room. Bob fixed the immediate problem on her first viist, then returned to put up the light, and do an assessment of further work we wanted to have done. He was very personable as well.
Description of Work: Fixed an electrical issue, installed a light fixture.
