I called to make an appointment for someone to come out, look at my situation and give me an estimate on some outdoor lighting. The guy on the phone, whose name I cannot pronounce, started questioning me. "Are the lights outside?" "Did you replace the bulbs?" "That's usually the problem." He wanted to troubleshoot the problem on the phone instead of coming out to actually look at my lights and see what I needed. It's no wonder they offer free estimates, they won't even look at the job and give you an estimate!

After requesting quotes from Angie's List, Mr. Bakari showed up the same day. He explained what the job entailed and gave the most reasonable quote compared to other Angie's List electricians. As soon as we received the pendants, we called him, and he was able to squeeze us in the same day! (he sensed our excitement in having the pendants installed). Like a true professional, he installed our pendants. He did not charge us extra even after we slightly changed the pendant locations causing him more work. He will be our electrician for life! I highly recommend him. We are now thinking of having him install pendants over the kitchen island.

All was exceptional PS I put the crystals on the fan after Kamau finished installing the fan.
Description of Work: Kamau did an excellent job taking down the existing ceiling fan in our master bedroom & installing them new fan. He can prepared with his tools , a drop cloth, booties to cover his shoes & wore a mask as required by the state. I plan on hiring Kamau for other jobs in the near future. His is now my electrician for as long as I live in Vegas! He is a great conversationalist & very knowledgeable about history, one of his passions.

I needed 2 track lights installed in the kitchen.
Description of Work: The men did excellent work and were very professional. They gave us suggestions in the future to use recessed lighting instead. At my request, he even screwed in the bracket for the ceiling fan that I was having trouble with. His price quotes were very reasonable, I would hire him back in a heartbeat

I have used this company to do electrical work for my house for several years. I have a very high atrium, so I call him whenever I need something done which is high up, and for other projects as well. Previously, this included installing a new fire alarm unit, and a chandelier. On his last visit, I had him install a new wall outlet. On that same visit, I was considering moving a wall-switch. However, he gave me some good advice on what I might do about the issue instead. He was totally willing to do the work, however, I appreciated that he would offer the alternative not involving his company. Kamau, the owner, is also quite personable, and I always look forward to interacting with him. I recommend his company highly.

I needed 3 ceiling fans installed. My bedrooms didn't have light fixtures installed in the ceilings, so I knew this meant having someone go into the attic and run electrical wire. I received quotes from at least 4 different electricians. Kemet Electric was the one I chose, as he was the most down to earth and had a great price. Kamau, the owner, got everything done in a single day. Some of the fans gave him a hard time, and one of the remote controls didn't work. He came back as soon as I had a replacement and installed it for me at no extra charge. He did great work, didn't leave a mess, and is a great person. Thanks, Kemet/Kamau!

Mr. Bakari was prompt, professional, neat and very efficient. He completed rewired the existing light fixtures and installed the LED bulbs he provided faster than I could clean the light covers. He built and installed the fan that included a light kit on the patio in record time despite having to make alterations to the stucco ceiling. His prices are very competitive and his work is outstanding. While here, he looked at the current lighting in my kitchen (inefficient can lights) and noted that the down rod on the very large/very heavy ceiling fan in the great room was too long for safety. He suggested alternatives & provided a cost estimate. He will be returning to install recessed lighting in my kitchen and to install a down rod the correct length. When you call Kemet Electric, you get Mr. Bakari, who gets back to you timely. If you have to wait for an appointment, keep in mind that he is well worth the wait for a job priced right and well done.

This issue took place over two visits. This first visit verified that the outlet was actually ok, so I paid their minimum of $75 for the service. When they left, the circuit failed so they came out again and discovered their were loose and poor connections throughout the line. Our technician went through the line and re-worked all the connections. This took two hours and they were kind enough to apply the original $75 toward the 2hrs this required to repair. I monitored the work and it was excellent, professionally done and the line and outlet have worked perfectly ever since the work was completed. I will use them again for any electrical issues and I recommend this company highly.

Incredibly well!!! My husband tried to assemble a ceiling fan in hopes of then installing it. He only made it through step 1 of assembly. We immediately reached out on Angie's List and Kamau responded to us within 10 minutes. He assembled & installed it the same day within hours of our call for help! He was extremely accommodating and pleasant. I highly recommend Kamau for all your electrical needs. His professionalism & standards are beyond exceptional!!!

Kamau picked the phone right away every time I called. He accommodated me in his schedule , I was removing the gas fire place with electric pilot light, and huge mantel. After the demolition the wires were sticking out which prevented the contractor from putting up the dry wall. Also the electric outlets needed to be moved forward on newly added wooden construction before the dry wall could be added. The electric part of the job had to be done on two separate occasions. Kamau also fixed the switch in the bathroom for the vanity light. He completed the job very swiftly. I wish all the contractors were like that. THANKS KAMAU! I will hire him in the future!
