Went well. Workers, Edwin and Robert, went about their business all day with a brief lunch break. Work entailed circuit work in an attic that has Air Conditioning Flexible duct work throughout, as well as a number of storage bins and snaking new wiring through an already existent pipe. Job site was left clean and the only thing I had to remedy was installing new drywall around the new panel box, which was no big thing as supplies were on hand..
Description of Work: Replaced Circuit Breaker Panel Box; installed two new grounding rods; created two dedicated circuits for kitchen appliances; and replaced three kitchen outlets with decor matching Tamper Proof GFCI outlets.

We called Valentine Electric based on their reviews from Angie's List. We needed a electrical problem looked at in out kitchen and a new line run for an electric kiln. I called and set up an appointment for an estimate and evaluation of our electrical system and I was given a 2 hour window (between 10 and 12) the next Friday. When the appointment date came no one showed up. I waited until 12:30 and gave the office a call. They said that the electrician that was to come to our house that day called in sick and we were never assigned to another electrician. They apologized and planned to send someone over right away. When they arrived they were obviously had little experience and didn't know what they were looking at or doing. He took pictures of the breaker box (but didn't actually open it up to look at where the wires were going into) and measured the area were the new outlet would go. He took pictures of the main electric box outside and made a uneducated guess as to why the electric in my kitchen was always going on and off. He said that I would get and estimate in my email a few days later. I never got one.

Response from Valentine Electric Inc.
This review is unfair for various reasons. The initial estimate was rescheduled due to the death of a close family member of the owner, who was to perform the estimate. We informed the customer of this, apologized, and rescheduled an estimate for later that day. This estimate involved running new wiring for a kiln and troubleshooting a problem with outlets in her kitchen. In lieu of our owner performing the estimate and due to death of his close family member, we sent our Audio/Video and generator estimator to gather the information, take photographs, and complete the estimate with the owner later when the owner returned. Our estimator arrived, spoke with the customer, gathered all of the necessary information, and reviewed the information with our owner. Our estimator is far from inexperienced; he's performed various jobs from electrical to audio/visual and many in between, but he does not typically perform our residential electrical estimates. Regardless, he accurately diagnosed the customer's issue. Unfortunately, the estimate paperwork fell through the cracks and we admittedly did not get an estimate to the customer. Surprisingly, the customer never called our office to ask what had happen; if she had, we would have immediately rectified the situation and got her estimate out, which would have taken only a few minutes. When we saw this review, we called the customer and asked what we could do to make this better, and we were told they no longer wanted to proceed with our company. We informed them that this was one of only two times our company has ever failed to give an estimate by mistake in the over 10 years of our business, and considering we give approximately 1000 estimates a year, this is a rarity. I urge the Angie's community to read and consider the large amount of positive reviews we have received in the past. We have won the Super Service Award for over five consecutive years, and that is because we perform our work in a safe and effective manner.

They said they'd be here between 7:30 and 7:45 and they were on time. I thought the pricing was very reasonable. I showed them what needed to be done and he decided what to do first and then just kept going. They did a great job.

The electrician called to let me know he was running about 20 minutes late. This was aready a good sign; excellent customer service. The electrician removed the panel made the fix, and then suggested I take pictures so I can show the buyer. He was fast, effecient and knowledgeable. The whole job took less than an hour; he even swept up the floor in the area where he worked when he was done.

Perfect. Great job all around.
Description of Work: Replaced 100 amp panel to 200 amp. Removed knob & tube in certain places of house. Changed two prong outlets to three and grounded them. Rewired certain areas that need it. The Westwood town inspector was so impressed by their work that he wanted to know who did the work so he could recommend them. All for a very fair price. Couldn't recommend them more.

First of all, i live in pre war building which is usually difficult to work with because of the the concrete materials in the walls and the structure of the building. Initially, I spoke with Paul Valentine, he was very responsive, I am assuming he is the owner, He sent two of his men to the job. . Burt and Robert came to my home, there were prepared, polite and professional. They are extremely skilled. With the walls and wiring in a pre-war building this job was not as simple as it sounds. To top it off, I was not going to be there to see the project through because I had to work, so I had a friend stay to monitor the entire operation, They executed the job and did everything I requested to perfection. They took great care in not messing up my apartment while working, they were extremely neat. They did an excellent job installing the breaker box, new ceiling fan and outlet, not only will I hire these men again but I definitely recommend this company. I will say, I did think it was a bit pricey,but it was worth the money because the job was done right. so I recommend Valentine Electric without a doubt, I feel like I can trust them and I will be calling them for any other electrical repairs or renovations that I have in the future.

unnecessarily. I walked through the house and found a reset button. I pushed it and then the lights went back on in the bathroom. Thank you so much Paul for advising me without paying a visit. i really appreciate it. I know your time is valued.The receptionist spoke to the owner, Paul and he suggested to check all the outlets to see if any of them had a reset button. She also said he did not believe in coming out for matters such as this and taking people's money
Description of Work: I had no lights in my downstairs bathroom.I called Valentine electronics for suggestions as to how to solve this problem since i was highly satisfied with them after having used them previously.

I've never had a good experience with an electrician. So, when the utility company informed me that I needed to contact an electrician to reconnect the power to my house from a downed telephone pole I was quite upset. However, I called these guys up and they were excellent. Showed up right away for an emergency, were very professional and polite, did the work well and arranged everything I needed. I would hire them again in a heart beat and recommend them to everyone. I couldn't be happier with their service.

WIll never use another electrician. Showed up on time for estimate appointment. Showed up on time for 2-day project. When an unexpected complication arose on Day One running a wire in the attic, showed up on Day Two with 6 men to make sure the job was finished on time. Came back three weeks later when overhead light fixtures arrived. Everything works. Price was fair. Don't call anyone else.
Description of Work: A long list of miscellaneous items in new "old" house including installation of 3 overhead lights in bedrooms, installation of lighting in barn, installation of lighting in basement, repair exterior lighting fixtures, install new bedroom outlet, etc.

No surprises. Had to order parts for me. Office was prompt in returning calls and scheduling work. Would recommend and would use again. Much of price was due to part for tub.

He was diligent and worked until he was able to correct the issue with the electricity. They do a good job of giving you a short window for their arrival and they stay to it. If they aren't able to keep to the given window, they will give you a call to let you know why they aren't there yet. They have very realistic pricing. I would highly recommend them.

I called Valentine Electric to get an estimate for a standby generator, for safety wiring of our basement, and a backyard light array. John, one of the employees there, performed excellent work and supplied an estimate for the standby generator right away. He referred the electrical work to Paul the owner; Paul would later coordinate a visit with me on October 31 to review the scope of work for the wiring/lights. I received an estimate for the generator in a few days, and the electrical work a couple of days ago. From the meticulous detail in the estimate and the subsequent communications with Emily, one of the employees at Valentine Electric, my wife and I decided to move forward with the planned electrical projects. The price was reasonable and the employees personable.

The inspection for purchasing Mom's new condo showed that there had been some water damage to the circuit breaker box. The breaker box was in the interior of the condo (not along an exterior wall) and showed slight damage, as if water from the condo upstairs had leaked onto the box. We contacted Valentine Electric for advice. Mr. Valentine advised us that it would be impossible to know how much damage had been done to the actual breakers, and recommended that all breakers be replaced. We got an estimate for replacing all breakers as well as for a few minor jobs around the condo. We ended up scheduling only the breaker replacement (I thought the prices for the more minor jobs were high.) On the appointed day, two workers switched out the breakers more quickly than I would have thought possible - I think it was less than one hour. Since I don't even like to open the cover of the box, I was amazed by their work. They left the site very clean.
Description of Work: Gave an estimate to replace all circuit breakers and do a few small jobs; returned to replace circuit breakers

The two man team arrived on time and were very nice and knowledgeable about the work. They got down to business right away and got everything taken care of in a relatively timely manner. Also talking with the owner was a pleasure as well and he was very responsive to any calls or questions. I would use them in the future for larger jobs.

The men called me to say they were going to be a little delayed since they were on another job, but they then arrived exactly as they said they would. Then they started to look and check the wiring to find where the fault was located. It took awhile but in the process of elimination (and I guess past experience), the Head electrician located where the problem was (loose and partly burned Al wiring in the panel box) and promptly repaired it. He also fixed up the Panel Box which was in sloppy condition (probably from when the house was built). Since I have Al wiring with pigtails at the connections, the Electrician and his partner fixed and repaired correctly all the Switches and Light connections that they had taken apart to locate the fault. The job was done by experts and I will have them again in the near future to check and repair the Pigtail connections in the rest of my house. Several years ago, the same company installed a whole house natural gas generator in a totally satisfying manner (for me).; THIS IS AN EXCELLENT COMPANY AND i WOULD NOT HESITATE TO RECOMMEND THEM TO EVERYONE.

Mr Valentine came in and went through the entire house with me. He answered my questions, and provided the reason for why the work was needed or alternatively, why it was not needed. As we walked through the house he pointed out items that I had overlooked. It seemed to me that his recommendations were designed to provide me with the best satisfaction while insuring that all work met standards. His estimate was timely and spelled out exactly what the scope of the work entailed. The prices were laid out so that I was able to get a good approximation for the final cost. ( I said it was an old house and some of the work quoted was a guesstimate.) The day of the work two electricians showed up. The foreman, Nick , laid out the work, consulting with me, if necessary, and then proceeded through the list. Again, because it's an old house, he explained to me, and to his office, that he would have to return. He said he would have to check with his office and get back to me. He called me the next day and we set up a second day, which went off without a hitch. I am very satisfied with the work and when I need further electrical work I will automatically call Valentine Electric.
Description of Work: I have an old house with some of the work being original and some has been added over the years. I had the outlets and switches replaced, some of the old fixtures were updated and various misc. work done.
