Description of Work: They removed a vent hood from over the stove, installed a dedicated circuit for a new over the range microwave oven as well as installing the microwave itself. I was very satisfied, I only wish they didn't charge a 3% charge for credit cards as I would have liked to receive the cash rewards instead of having to write a check, but overall everything went great.

The electricians arrived on time, went over the service that would be provided which allowed them to prioritize the work. They were courteous, very efficient and completed the work in a timely manner. They even suggested steps that could accomplish our goals in a more cost efficient manner. We would highly recommend Above Code Electric to everyone!

Lionel was punctual, courteous, and professional. I had prewired many things to cut down on labor cost; however, some things had to be redone to be up to code. I was blown away by the great price because I thought bringing it up to code would be cost prohibitive. However, because I helped and because he didn't mark up the parts a great deal (if at all) and because he doesn't "milk the clock" like some people, I was able to get all the work done for a much lower cost than I expected. I would highly recommend Above Code Electric to anyone needing small or large residential work done professionally at an affordable price. I'm glad other Angie's List members recommended this family business.
Description of Work: Garage/shed up to code. Installed GFI on each circuit. Troubleshooting to find short in one circuit. Replaced existing underground wire with an outdoor wire. (I assisted on labor to save time). Price includes wire, two GFIs, and two hole fillers for breaker box.

They gave me a reasonable estimate of the cost involved in the electrical work we needed done and scheduled it in a reasonable time window. Were prompt and called ahead of timeto tell me they were on the way. They were clean, polite, friendly and professional at all times. Their work was above standard and went much more quickly than they or I thought. As a result, they offered to reduce the amount estimated - which I gratefully accepted!
Description of Work: They relocated a ceiling fan from one room to another, assembled and installed a ceiling fan. They moved a thermostat and relocated a cable outlet which required a great deal of moving around in a very tight attic area.

From the first contact with this company, a call from Angela, the customer service was excellent. She was helpful and accommodating, and had the job done the same week. The electrician, Lionel, was on time, professional, and a Red Sox fan. Really, what more could you ask for? I would use them again in a minute, and recommend them to my friends. I can't say enough great things. I wish I could find a plumber/handyman/painter, etc of the same quality.

Lionel was very straightforward in his assessment and repair of the cable. He even called Dominion Power on my behalf to make sure the cable was my responsibility. The repair went so smoothly that Lionel gave me an extra $25 discount. A special shot out to Dominion Power for being so efficient in disconnecting and reconnecting the main power.

Overall , service was professional, and performed in a timely manner.
Description of Work: They were courteous. Asked questions regarding the repair to determine what was needed for the repair. Replaced the Ceiling Fan Fixture because the bracket was not made for Ceiling fans , but made for Light fixtures only. Also checked and replaced light swich box ( I had a spare box on hand that was for a 2 way light switch. He replaced it in a way, so that it would work as a single switch in the kitchen). Excellent Work.

Master Electrician Lionel Richard is extremely professional- always on time, prompt with follow-up, very courteous. He is great about asking my opinion on things like which switch I use most and if I agree with his proposed lighting layout. For this call, he was able to come the next day to save me from a constantly tripping breaker. Pricing is extremely fair. I know nothing about electricity, but I feel totally confident in Lionel's expertise!
Description of Work: The latest of multiple electrical projects Above Code has done in my home, including adding circuits, moving outlets, installing recessed lighting in the kitchen, and changing out interior and exterior fixtures.
