We ended up not really needing their services. We realized it after they got out. It wasn't great. I didn't pay more than the "Big Deal." They were very helpful and they told us we could replace it easily. They were less helpful and they knocked off the molding off of one of our attic incenses. The way they put it back up was sloppy.
Description of Work: I purchased a "Big Deal" for Lanier Construction & Electrical Inc. Our house was hit by lightning and our doorbell was fried. We needed an electrician to look at that.

I paid the $39 and then was told, by Lanier, the offer was sold out. I don't know if Angie's List kept my money or if Lanier kept my money but no service was performed. I am now very skeptical of Angie's List's offers and tend to ignore them. I am definitely not going to use Lanier since they didn't even try to get my money back and don't seem to know how to work their promotions. Shame on both Angie's List and Lanier.
Description of Work: He (or Angie's List) took my money and told me that the promotion was oversold.

I had purchased this deal to have two electrical runs done from ceiling fans to the outlet area. Upon explaining what I wanted done, he seemed less than interested and would contact me to set up a time. After a week, I called him again and was told that he was dealing with some emergency work and would again call me back. I never heard again. From what it seems, I'm not the only one who had issues with him.

The service turned out very nice. He was a polite and knowledgeable gentleman. He came in, did his job, cleaned, and had an assistant with him. I love him. The service was only done yesterday, but it was not because of him; it was because of my own schedule. He was nice enough to cancel several times as I could not accommodate the schedule for him to come in. Yesterday, we were both in the same page. He kept on following-up with me telling me that he was available whenever I need and yesterday, I was home. He came by and took care of it. There were no additional charges to the $39 big Deal. It took them only a few minutes or maybe half-an-hour. I have contacted him for installing a ceiling fan, but I am definitely going to contact him later on for additional electrical work that I have in my home. I purchased the ceiling fan and I have nobody to install. So when I saw the Deal, I contacted him. The ceiling fan is working very well. It was a very good experience. I have nothing bad to say about him. I asked him how much he normally charged and it was less than what I had asked from two other electricians.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal for Lanier Construction & Electrical. The Big Deal was to install a ceiling fan. His assistant put the ceiling fan together while he was installing the system.

Went very well. Mr Lanier clearly understood what needed to be done to safely and properly connect the gas. The shut-off behind the stove did not begin the gas flow to the stove. Mr Lanier found another shutoff installed near the meter when the line for the stove was installed. After the stove was working, I asked him to install the (small / non-crystal) chandelier and take down the 1960's medicine cabinet which had a 4-light light bar across the top. Mr Lanier completed both of these projects quickly for a total of $50. I will definitely use him again.

Excellent! He was fast and very friendly. I wish that he did not drill up one side of the cabinet and put the outlet on the other side, because I now have limited space for storage. Overall he did an excellent job and I am very satisfied.
Description of Work: He took down my overhead fan above the stove down and installed a microwave. He drilled into the cabinet above the stove and and installed an electrical outlet for the microwave.

The guy was very nice and I would use them again. The deal did seem a little vague for what was covered in the $39.00.

I need a refund!! That's how it went!
Description of Work: I bought this so I could get some switches replaced in our garage. I received a call from the company a couple of days after my purchase and the person I talked with said he was really busy and would call me back to put me on his schedule. I never heard back. So I sent an email....never heard back....contacted Angies list....they said to check my messages! The only message that I got was "sold out"!! My credit card was charged....that didn't seem to be a problem for them, but following through with service apparently is!

It was disappointing. It may not have been his fault. But I thought by the ad that I would get three ceiling sconces hung in my kitchen for what I already paid to Angie's List. I contacted himmafter her emailed me. He said he was busy and I was relly in no huge hurry so I said I could wait until the following week. The next week, he said he would come on a certain day but I never heard back. The next day I called him again and he and I set a date which was today. Today, he arrived at the expected time. Both of the gentlemen who came were very nice and polite. I explained that I had purchased three small ceiling sconces to hang in my kitchen above a small table. We talked about how it could be done, wired, they went up into my attic and scoped it out. They had me draw out how it would be set on my ceiling. They spent time assessing what they would need to do. As they were telling me how complicated it was going to be, I asked how much additionally was it going to be. He said he would figure that out before he did any work. He was very nice and professional about the whole thing. After about 45 minutes total, he said it would be an additional 235.00 to complete the job. That is in addition to the 39.99 I spent which was supposed to be 135.00 value which means to hang three sconces and tie them into a light switch I already had, it would have been about 370.00 total. I had already priced that job out with another electrician and it would have cost in the lower 200s. So, I thanked them for looking at it and told them that was more than I could spend. They cleaned up after themselves, shook my hand, and left. They were very nice and polite but the price, I felt, was way too high and I felt like that price disregarded the content of the ad that I purchased. I will end up calling the other electrician that was lower and have him do the job. Unfortunately, to find that out, I am now out 40.00 for no real reason.
Description of Work: They came in and looked at the scope of work, inspected the area and equipment, and told me that is would cost 235.00 in addition to what I already paid. I thanked them and told them I could not pay that at this time.

After paying for the big deal, I received an email requesting I call the company. I called. The man who answered said he could not find my name listed as having deal. Finally found my name. Said he could not talk he would call back in 1/2 hour. He never called back. Next day I called again. Deal was $39 for $139 of electrical service. I asked him how much time $139 of work is worth, a hour? He answered "less than an hour." [Last electrician I hired charged a total of $130 for one hour. If $139 buys 3/4 hour then the hourly rate is $185, very high.] He said he could not talk, to call him back. I called back a few days later and explained the (relatively simple) job. He said he could not do it until next week. I said I could not do it Thanksgiving week but the following week would work. He would not schedule a day that week. I said that Monday 12/1 or Thurs. 12/4 would work. He said he wasn't going to schedule it then but I should call him right before the day I wanted him. If he is too busy to do it in the next ten days I wondered what the chances are he could do it the day after I called. In addition, when I call the number given, he answers "Hello." I had to ask if I had contacted Lanier Construction, which he affirmed. He should identify his company when he answers his phone in order to avoid confusion.

When I purchased the Big Deal, I entered three dates that I was available over the next three weeks. On November 11 I received a message back to call. I called on November 12, and he said he would call me back in 15 minutes. He never called back. I called again this morning, and again he said he would call back. This time he did actually did call back but when he did call he was driving and had multiple conversations going on. After trying unsuccessfully to explain to him who I was, where I lived, and what I needed done, he said he could not schedule an appointment right now, instead asked me to text him my address and he would let me know when he could be here. I did not text him, as I am not interested in doing business with someone who lacks basic courtesy and professionalism.

Mr. Lanier was very professional. He found issues with the way the old panel was installed and fixed the new panel so that issue would not occur. He fixed loose wires and checked inside to ensure that there were no loose wires there. He explained everything to me. I would definitely use him again.
Description of Work: replaced outside main electrical panel and also found another issue with the meter not being attached. He attached that while he was working on the panel.

He was great. Very professional, very punctual and did great work. He told the old one wasn't worth saving (which confirmed what I thought) and actually waited at the house for about 30 minutes while I ran up the road and got a new one, then he installed it. We'll definitely use Lanier again if needed.

My wife and I tried to take down an old microwave installed over the oven and install a new one. After much attempts, we were able to get the old one down but not get the piece on the wall that holds it up. We called Andrew Lanier and several hours later, he came over and quickly took down the old pieces and hung up the new microwave. He was very friendly and professional. I would definitely hire him for similar jobs and other electrical jobs which is what he specializes in.
