Very good
Description of Work: The job was simple but required some detective work to figure out why an the light fixtures in the kitchen were not working. The electrician was smart, polite, asked all the right questions, and fixed the problem. A plus for responsiveness, from initial call, to appointment setting, to prompt arrival at the indicated time. I am very satisfied with their service.

We like to think our guiding principle is 'making homes safe and comfortable'. Often, that means explaining parts of the home's infrastructure to the homeowner. A little information can go a long way to understanding your home.

s must be very well controlled
Description of Work: Although this company had performed work for me about a decade ago, they had been a little pricy. I had gottem a couple of estimates from them subsequently but again they were on the high side. I am a single, woman over 70 and have been raising three young people on a very low income so costs must be very well controlled. I currently needed an electrician again and this time, as a member of Angies List I consulted this list and found this company to be well reported on so I proceeded to try them again. This time I received a call and was told that since they had provided quotes for me in the past which they were NOT HIRED FOR< they were DECLINING TO DO ANY FURTHER BUSINESS WITH ME. At this point I don't know if these people have competent electricians or not but the ARROGANCE, ELITIST ATTITUDE certainly indicates to me that MONSY is much higher on their value scale than any consideration for competence and integrity. Not a company that want anything to do with again in my lifetime.

We only have limited time to help our customers. We found we were giving her estimates, but not doing work. We don't why she kept calling for estimates if she didn't want us to do the work. Meanwhile, given the track record, it doesn't make sense to waste time that way when other people want our help.

Excellently
Description of Work: I had an X-10 switch controlling an overhead light... The set up just stopped working. A-1 provided extensive pre service troubleshooting suggestions which I later realized I did not follow exactly. Paul (founder and owner)came, did the necessary troubleshooting and fixed the problem. Paul is always a pleasure, affable and erudite..

Perfect
Description of Work: The electrician came back to make a minor repair, and as always did an EXCEPTIONAL job. I asked him at that time about installing ceiling fans for me in the future and updating some older lighting fixtures outside and he does that type of work also. I would highly recommend Paul for anything electrical, I don't think there is a job he can't do and his prices are more than fair. If all contractors were like this one my plumbing would be fixed now too.

Thank you for posting. I'm not sure what job this was since I don't have a listing with that first and last name (the husband may have scheduled it). Pricing is always interesting. We try to be reliable with prices so that different people with the same situation get the same prices (makes sense, right?). Situations vary and work can be easier or harder depending on the construction. We don't control how other contractors price but if customers are not comfortable, we suggest checking around. But we don't know the prices or quality of their work. Thanks, again.
