It went well from start to finish. They scheduled my appointment quickly. They arrived close to on time. Two electricians came for the job which made it much more efficient. They were competent and appropriately friendly and helpful. I would use this company again. Update: There was a problem after the installation, and it took them months to repair the issue.
Description of Work: Replaced ceiling fixtures. Installed track lighting and dimmer switches.

I asked for an estimate for track lighting and made it clear that I was not sure whether or not my wiring could support the wattage of track lighting and I wanted them to let me know this as part of the estimate. When I finally got the estimate from them (after calling when it was 2 days beyond the date I had expected it) they made no mention of whether or not my wiring could support the lighting, and when I asked about that I was told that a technician would have to come out at $145/hour and they wouldn't tell me how many hours it would take. Also, their price was higher than the $1100 quote I received elsewhere. I have contacted another company who is coming tomorrow to do an estimate and at the same time tell me if my wiring can support the extra wattage. Estimated cost was $1,375.
Description of Work: An estimate.

Great! When I called they gave me an appointment for the very next day. It was a three-hour window (9 a.m-noon) and they showed up at 10 a.m. Two guys showed up and were very professional. They looked the job over and said they could do it and they did. I had a bare junction box in the dining area and the wiring for it lead to the kitchen switches. They removed the old switches, installed the new ones and now instead of just having an overhead light in the kitchen and one over the sink, I now have those and a dining room fixture. After they were through with the installation, they clean up after themselves. Best of all, they included the Angie's List Discount when they billed me.
Description of Work: They installed two electrical switches - a combination switch and a dimmer and a light fixture. I supplied the materials. They supplied the knowhow and the labor.

The only bad thing was that he was to follow up on something. He was supposed to order a part for the light in my hallway. He said that he never saw that it was broken and needed to go get the part. Unfortunately, he did not get back to me. I guess it was kind of my fault because I should have followed up on that. You know, I have had so many bad workmen and I really do not want to say that they are bad. For all I know, he tried to call me while I was away. I should call them. I just got overwhelmed. He was a pretty nice guy. He called when he couldn't come, which is all I really ask of somebody. So many people just leave you hanging. I will not hesitate to use them again and would call them first.
Description of Work: I had a lot of different things in different rooms done by Altman Electric. They fixed a switch in the bathroom and fixed another light. They just did a lot of things that had piled up for a long time. He was very polite. He gave me alternatives and that was very fair. I do not remember prices. I think it was a few hundred dollars or something. I would give them top marks just for showing up and calling. Everything he fixed works and still works. He also gave me prices on fans and stuff. Other things I just said fix them because I needed them fixed so I wasn't really worried about price. I think he charged by the hour. He was very nice. He showed up on time. He explained options and general costs. He was well mannered and polite and showed up.

TERRIBLE!!! We were on a tight schedule, with my contractors working, cabinets getting installed, etc. Altman canceled the first day (Friday) b/c someone was sick. They didn't show up until late on Monday and didn't finish the job. (Job was supposed to take 1 day.) Tuesday came 2 hours late again. Wednesday they didn't show. Electrician they did send was BEYOND rude. Left garbage and holes ALL OVER kitchen. Work he did complete didn't work (outlets didn't work.) My contractor had to clean up their work. When I called for answers, they NEVER called me back. Their negligence postponed EVERYONE (contractor, cabinets, granite) and EVERYTHING. If you want your job to go smoothly, I urge you to hire ANYONE else.
Description of Work: Changed panel, installed outlets, moved switch in bathroom to a different wall.

Once they got there, they did a good, professional job; however, I took the day off from work for them to arrive between noon and 4:00. They never showed up. When I called at 4:15 a very apologetic rep said they would have someone there before noon the following day. My partner stayed home that day, and when they were not there by 10, he called to reconfirm. They had no record of the rescheduling, but they set out immediately to find someone to come and do the job. The worker arrived shortly before 2:00 PM and was finished in 45 minutes.
Description of Work: They repaired loose wiring in a bathroom light fixture and remounted a bedroom ceiling fan that had not been mounted incorrectly by another electrician.

These people are not professional. You have to check up on the details and appointment times up until the last minute. Paper work falls through the cracks and they do not care. They are very willing to walk away from a job and leave you holding the empty bag. They have made 2 appointments, was very late for one and never showed up for the second. Will NEVER use them again. No regard for your time or appointments.
Description of Work: They were supposed to install a ceiling halogen light fixture, install the transformer and run wire molding around the parameter of the walls into a closet. Then install the light switch.

They are professional, prompt and very thorough. All I had to do was tell them the problem, and they handled everything including writing letters to con ed and scheduling appts to have con Edison come turn on the meters in my apartment building. They are worth the money.
Description of Work: They connected meters in my apartment building for con ed, also corresponded with con ed regarding the issue, and set up appt with con ed to come to the building and turn on the meters.

A company representative came right on time, as scheduled, to evaluate the job, and promised an estimate for the work by day's end. It's been a whole week now, and despite several calls to Altman's switchboard, I'm still waiting on the estimate. Unfortunately, I need the work done ASAP, so I'm going to have to call someone else, A wasted week is, in my mind, unacceptable. Apparently, I'm not the only one still waiting for a call-back(according to the operator).
