Description of Work: I had a number of small things (light fixture replacements, plug upgrades, fan repair, etc.) that needed to be done. It's difficult to find electricians to take on smaller jobs like that. Jaime Zappala was great to work with. He responded quickly, made the repairs efficiently and stayed at it until the job was done (rather than disappearing for days or weeks at a time like some contractors I have employed). He explained what needed to be done and why, respected my concern about limiting costs, and did a terrific job. I wouldn't hesitate to call him in if I needed more work done, and recommend him very highly.

Mr Zappala was very prompt in returning phone calls and arrived for appointments on time. His rates are reasonable and he did not try to act as a "salesman" by suggesting additional fixes to anything that wasn't already discussed. I would definitely call him again for any future electrical work.
Description of Work: Mr Zappala fixed various electrical issues, installed new light/ceiling fan in living room, new chandelier in dining room, and installed gfi receptacles in rooms that had old ungrounded 2-prong outlets.

I found Jaime's name on the Angie's List website and he returned my initial call within 12 hours. I was selling my home and dealing with some specific electrical observations that came up during a home inspection. Jaime was responsive and professional, and he provided a written quote in the specific format required within a day or two. This was all done via email using the photos and verbiage that were provided by the inspector. When Jaime came on site to complete the repairs, he alerted me to some safety/compliance outages within my electrical service box that needed to be corrected. Jaime completed all of the work very quickly and came in within the budgeted quote! He provided an invoice in the specific format that was required by my relocation company and was responsive and professional throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend him.
Description of Work: Various electrical upgrades in my residence.

My husband called Jaime Zappala and left a message, and received a return call the same day, in the evening, and they discussed our problems: an ungrounded switch/outlet in a basement apt in our house, and kitchen fluorescent lights upstairs in our living space that were flickering and we suspected would need new ballasts. Jaime was able to come out in two days, arrived punctually, and went over everything with my husband, who said he was very informative and discussed the issues with the switch, etc. Jaime also recommended different fixtures for the kitchen lights, which would be more updated (very true!) and lie more flush with the ceiling (our ceiling is somewhat low)--all good recommendations. He went out to get parts, was gone 1.5 hours, which had my husband a bit worried, but came back with everything, saying the first place he'd gone wanted to charge him a ridiculous amount for parts so he had to go across town and got what he needed at Home Depot for a more reasonable price. All in all, everything was fixed to more than our satisfaction, labor cost $240 for four hours, and fixtures/material cost $170 (replace ballasts, 2 kitchen light fixtures, broken switch).
Description of Work: replaced and grounded an old, nonstandard wall switch/outlet; replaced bad ballasts in 2 kitchen light fixtures.

Mr. Zappala was extremely prompt in his call back and we set up an appointment for the next day. He arrived right on schedule and given the perimeters of the job, was able to begin the work immediately. He was able to solve our problems and made suggestions that led to better solutions than I originally proposed. I would definitely call him again for more electrical work. Very neat and professional.
Description of Work: running cable to a new location and sorting out the wiring to allow for additional phones to work off existing cable phone service.

We were very pleased from the start. Mr Zappala responded to our initial call in a timely fashion, and he offered to come the next day to look at the various situations we were concerned about in our recently purchased house. He identified which issues needed to be addressed and which we did not need to worry about. We then scheduled him for a few days later to do the work of running grounded lines to the basement outlets and adding more outlets. He came up with a plan for running the wires over some distance without damaging any walls or ceilings. We were very happy with the quality of the work. We also thought he showed a high degree of professionalism, including arriving just when he said he would, working straight through, and leaving the house very neat.
Description of Work: Mr. Zappala first came and looked at various electrical issues in our new house. He then ran new grounded electric lines to several outlets in the basement and added several more outlets.

Mr. Zappala returned our call promptly, and there was no trouble setting up an appointment. He arrived on time (had a little trouble finding our house, and used his cell phone to call us.) He did the work competently and explained what he was doing. If we need electrical work in the future, we will call on him.
Description of Work: We have an old Victorian house. We had a hall light fixture that stopped working. Mr. Zappala got it working again, explained how the wires should go, and tightened the old light fixture. He also completed wiring for a new light fixture (my husband had installed the electrical box, but the wires were not connected to the house electricity). As a bonus, he explained how to determine whether the crackling on our telephone line was Verizon's responsibility or ours.
