He was very friendly and professional and helped provided a easy solution to my issue with lighting up my back yard. We also asked him to add a floor outlet in our living room. I would highly recommend Light it Up Electric for any electrical needs you may have.

Appointment was made for some time between 3 and 5 pm. Electrician did not arrive until close to 6 pm. Homeowner called several times to get estimated time of arrival. At 3:30 electrician said he had another job before ours and it would be 5 pm before he could get to our job. At 5:15 homeowner called again and was told he was just finishing up and would be another 45 minutes. When electrician arrived he explained that he was told initially the two jobs were in Raleigh NC when they were actually in Garner and Henderson. That was why he was late. When he arrived he quickly diagnosed the problem with the ceiling fixture. I was able to have my wife pick up a switch from the local hardware store which allowed electrician to continue addressing other electrical issues. He did not have the correct switch in his vehicle. Electrician next replace lightbulb in high ceiling with no problem. He looked at the project of installing two lamps in front of garage. He provided estimate o four hours or $400. He ended up redirecting vent on our microwave oven. Leslie was pleasant and competent. His lack of punctuality and poor scheduling was my only concern. Price was very reasonable.
Description of Work: Diagnosed and repaired light switch as cause for ceiling fixture malfunction. Replaced light bulb in ceiling fixture in high out of reach location. Adjusted vent on microwave oven so that the exhaust was properly directed. assessed the cost for installing two garage lamps in front of house.

Response from Light It Up Electric
This is in response to the negative feedback this member. This response was posted to the wrong Light It Up Electric. I, Ralph Florio, owner of Light It Up Electric, Apex/Cary NC did not perform any type of work for the member. That was apparently Light It Up from worker named Leslie. I take alot of pride in my work and reputation and wanted to clear this up as I have all positive ratings.

We bought an outdated townhouse and every light fixture needed to be replaced as well as adding a ceiling fan on a sloped, 16 foot high ceiling. Ralph and his assistant tackled each task including crawling through some very small and tricky slanted ceiling/roof lines. Everything looks wonderful and works great. We are thrilled. Thanks Ralph!
Description of Work: The scope of work was extensive. 3 existing ceiling fans were replaced with more efficient units, a new ceiling fan was installed on a very high and slanted ceiling, a pendant light was installed in the powder room, a new entryway chandelier was installed on the 15 foot high entryway, a large fluorescent kitchen light was replaced with track lighting, 3 vanity lights were replaced in the bathrooms and a new exhaust fan was installed in the master bathroom shower area.

Very well. The estimiate was done the day before and the work was completed today. My wife is extremely happy with the new light fixtures. He did a great job. We would use Ralph and Light it up Electric again. He also knows great Italian restaurants in the triangle area.
Description of Work: Ralph installed 2 light fixtures one above the dining room table and one in the bathroom. He had to drill a hole in the ceiling and put a new junction box in the ceiling that would support a heavy light fixture. He did all that in a timely manner. He is polite, gregarious, and professional.

Ralph and Paul did an excellent job. They came out last week and gave me an estimate. Then came out this week and did the work for the amount quoted. They were great to work with and very professional and friendly. I couldn't be more pleased. Their work has exceeded my (already high) expectations. I will definitely hire them again.
Description of Work: Relocted dining room chandelier and then installed new chandelier in the new location. Also wired and installed 2 mini pendants over a new dining counter and wired and installed a 3-light pendant in living room. Put all of the newly installed lights on dimmers.

I I called Ralph to ask for his help grounding my gas line to the main ground of the house as a neighbor had recommended him. He said 'no problem' and suggested 8/2 as the date. I said ok and asked for a ballpark price. He said between $100 and $300 depending on the location of the gas meter and electrical meter. When he showed up, he inspected the situation, then went for supplies. (he needed to know how much of the copper wire was needed and then purchased it) He completed the job in about 2 hours and was happy to show me the work and explain it. For the job I had, he did an excellent job and I would use him again.
Description of Work: Grounding gas line to the main ground of the electrical box on the house

The job went very quickly and it was apparent that these two men knew their way around household electrical devices. They charged me a fee that I thought was too low; they did a professional job and cleaned up after the job was done. By the way, they arrived early for the scheduled job so I did not have to wait around. I intend to use them again for future household electrical projects.
Description of Work: Ralph and Paul converted a ballast driven recessed spot light over the kitchen sink to an external ceiling-mounted fluorescent area light. in the same location.
