Wonderfully! Mike and crew are very professional. This was not an easy job. There was a possibility that the dead short was in a recently installed finished ceiling. Mike worked in a methodical manor to eliminate all possibilities and once he was sure it was in the ceiling he narrowed down the area to within ~ 1 foot of where the short was, worked with the carpenter to preserve the ceiling, and resolved the issue. It was great work! Throughout the process he kept me informed of what he was doing and what he learned. Good communication. Mike also corrected a few issues that were identified and just recently was back to install a new outdoor light and plug outside. Time spent and pricing were appropriate for the work done and his expertise.
Description of Work: Mike originally came to find a dead short and once found to fix it. [This is not an easy task in an older home, especially when previous work may have been done by non-qualified people.] Mike & helper, were very methodical and thorough in their approach. Mike found the issue and fixed the problem!

Thank you so much for the great feedback. The problem in your wiring was one of the more challenging troubleshooting tasks we've encountered in the last year or two, I must say, and I appreciate your determination to stick with it. We're looking forward to the next projects!

Superbly- we were getting our house ready to sell and needed the light to work- and now it does. I heartily recommend Mike Williams!
Description of Work: After upgrading our switches, we discovered one no longer worked. Mike Williams showed up, on time, and quickly diagnosed the problem. He then explained and showed us the mistake we had made and corrected the problem in this switch and others.

We highly recommend Mike & his crew. They worked very, very hard to get our project completed & it was very frustrating at times for them. The new box installation was fairly strait forward, just a lot of old wiring in our 1964 split level to decipher! The real challenges started with running conduit from one end of the house out to our pool. In heat & humidity,they had to trench through some nasty roots and patio blocks. Through it all, Mike was professional & courteous. Our bill was a bit higher than estimated, but that was due to unforeseen extra work. Totally reasonable.
Description of Work: Installed new electric box & connected above ground pool to house electric.

Mike came out to the house quickly. He was able to work with me on getting the breaker fixed, even though it was an older panel. Price was more than reasonable. Highly recommend.

My regrets. Troubleshooting is one of the trickiest parts of the job, and I ALWAYS tell people that finding a problem can take five minutes, or it can take five hours. And of course, the time it takes to FIX the problem is unpredictable as well, and depends on the problem. This was a good sized old house with two residences, multiple generations of wiring, and a crowded difficult basement to work in. I don't know how long finding this problem would have taken, but obviously, it was more than the 1-1/2 hours that were included in the coupon offer.

Mike and his two sons/apprentices arrived at my home at the agreed-upon time. All three were pleasant and polite, and got to work right away. They performed all the work listed above in roughly 4.5 hours, and came equipped with all of the parts necessary to finish the job. They cleaned up thoroughly after the work was finished. I genuinely enjoyed having them in my home, and I plan to engage Mike's services again in the near future.
Description of Work: Mike and his apprentices installed two ceiling fans with remotes, three recessed LED lights in two different locations in my kitchen, and dimmer switches for those fixtures and one additional set of recessed lights in my living room.

Mike Williams is exactly what I look for when I seek assistance with our 100-year-old historic cottage. He explains what he's going to do in a way I can understand without talking down (I'm female and elderly). He's very, very competent. He's reliable -- he comes when he says he will, and does what he said he'd do. He's also a pleasant fellow to interact with, and so is the woman who answers the phone (who I believe is his wife). This is Mike Williams's second job for us and he's won my trust. The next time we have an electrical problem, Mike will be the person I call.

Actually came 2 days early, with our concurrence. Job went exactly as projected. We had agreed on a 32 space panel but he installed a 24. I did not notice this but he called later in the day to tell me he was going to reimburse the difference, which he did the next day. Very trustworthy.

Thanks! Actually, we did discuss the 24-space panel substitution over the phone, in advance. I just forgot to apply the credit when we settled up, and came by the next day. It was a great job, overall. I just LOVE replacing those dangerous old Federal Pacific panel boxes.

Mike came by on Jan 10th our house to provide a quote on replacement of light sources and additional wiring to our home. He explained what was possible and what was not in an striaght forward way. A detailed quote that outlined each step was provided - perfectly. We agreed on a time frame to start/finish the project which was upheld - he didn't start then 'go way' to work on other projects. he stuck with it. Only for an 1.5 hrs he had an emergency call to attend to which was fine with us. In the end we got what we needed and are very satisfied. Working within an "old home" should only be done by people who understand tricks of the trade. Knowing this, Mike (and his star team) was able to do the work with as little disruption to the home. In the end, we look forward to work with Mike on more Lighting projects later this year.

Called Mike on 12/16/15 around 11:30 a.m. he was on his lunch hour. He responded about 5 minutes later I explained the problem and he had a job that he was on his way to but he let me know that if it was alright with me he would call me when he was finished and if it wasn't to late he would swing by. Called me at 2:00pm and was here by 2:30. He was very likeable and very professional and he had his son along as a helper a very nice young man. I would definitely reccomend Mike to my family and friends and look forward to doing business with him again.

I called Mike when 3 problems developed simultaneously on what I thought might be the same circuit in our 100-year-old home -- 1) we lost electricity in an upstairs bathroom (I wasn't able to activate the reset button on the outlet, and was afraid to push a tool into it), 2) I noticed burn marks on an extension cord in a bedroom down the hall; and 3) when I plugged a different extension cord into the electrical strip on a second bedroom outlet, it sizzled and smoked. These things made me wonder if we might be in danger of a brewing house fire. Mike 1) was able to activate the reset button (he said the test button should be operated once/month or it gets stiff -- who knew?); 2) replaced the bedroom outlet (he said burning occurs when an outlet gets old and loose, and doesn't hold the plug securely) and he tested the wiring in that outlet and determined it was fine; and 3) suggested replacing the electrical strip. (I had already replaced the extension cord that smoked, but hadn't thought to replace the electrical strip.) On the basis of these things, Mike felt it wasn't necessary to test all the wiring in the whole house. In addition, at his own discretion, Mike checked outside for problems and indeed found some issues I was unaware of relating to work the previous owner had left unfinished, as well as fraying insulation on wiring along the roof. He took photos of everything so he could show me the problems in detail. We've already scheduled a return visit so he can attend to these issues. Mike was prompt (on 'my' Saturday morning, as he was running 15 minutes behind schedule, he called ahead to let me know). He was professional, obviously extremely competent, and takes pride in his work. His price was reasonable, especially so for the peace of mind I now feel in putting the potential danger of house fire to rest.
Description of Work: He diagnosed and attended to the loss of electricity in a bathroom and issues with burning electrical cords in an adjacent bedroom; and checked the house for any additional problems.

Description of Work: An exterior light grouping kept tripping the breaker. This was the second situation where I have used Mike. Obviously if the first time didn't go well, therewojldn't have been a second time! And this week there will be a third. So it involved work indoors and out.

Thanks so much for the positive comments. My regrets about the price; troubleshooting can be unpredictable, and can take some time. I tell people it can take 5 minutes, or it can take 5 hours. In this case, it took a couple of hours to locate the problem.

Mike was able to do the work before we moved in which was greatly appreciated. He almost always answered his phone and preformed all work in a timely and professional manner. He did an overview of our electrical box and gave recommendations. I would definitely use him again in the future.

This is the second time Mike has been to the house and, like last time, I was extremely pleased with the service and outcome of his work. Mike is a true professional and craftsman. The new outlet was tricky, as the house was built in 1927, but Mike figured out a way. The outlet location improves the functionality of the kitchen significantly. The light fixture looks great, as does the ceiling fan.
Description of Work: Mike and his sons did a number of projects: - Installed a new outlet in the kitchen (no existing outlet on the wall) - Installed a new light fixture - Removed two old wall light fixtures and capped them - Replaced a ceiling fan; installed a remote control feature with the new fan

After an electrical storm, we had multiple breakers that would not reset, some can lights that wouldn't turn on despite the circuits being on, and two burnt power strips. Mike determined the storm had burnt out the 3-way dimmer switches and replaced those with 3-way switches. His troubleshooting uncovered a third burnt power strip that was preventing a breaker from resetting and replaced the outlet with a new GCFI outlet. At my wife's request (because she smelled something funny), Mike also replaced a regular outlet in our hallway. He took the time to explain what to expect over the next few years with how many of our outlets are wired, what the new codes for wiring them are, and answered our questions regarding whole house circuit breakers. Mike is very friendly, courteous, and professional... even with two little boys and 3 dogs nosing around him while he worked. I would most certainly call Mike for any other electrical work we may need to have done.

Mike arrived in the morning. His son Thomas came to assist. He installed a new ground rod and ran the new cable into the house. Next He documented all the circuits for transfer to the new panel. Turned the power off and removed the electric meter to disconnect the power to the feed cable to the old box. He ran a new ground wire from the panel location to the water pipe where it entered the house. He removed the wires from the old panel and then removed the panel itself. Installed the new panel and installed the wires in the new panel. The work was neat and orderly. I appreciated Mikes respectful and informative conversation. The work was completed early after noon.

He left saying he would be doing some checking with RGE and codes, gave me an "about cost" and said I would be hearing from him with the estimate. I never heard back from him. I would have appreciated an e-mail from him telling me he couldn't do the job or whatever the reason . . . . clearly he does not like challenges. Fortunately, I had a number of estimates lined up, others came and not one of them told me that it would be difficult or challenging. All others responded with an estimate and am happy with whom I hired!
Description of Work: Responded to my inquiry in a timely manner; appointment set for estimate; part of the reason I connected with him was because his write up states "residential electricians specializing in old houses"; he came, spend time (over an half an hour of my time!) checking out what needed to be done: replace panel box (upgrade) move meter to outside of house. He told me it would be challenging due to tight quarters but definitely doable; "a challenge but I like challenges" ; took lots of pictures and my e-mail

My fault, and I apologize. Clearly, a communication problem – as I actually do like challenges, and I’ve done several jobs as complicated as this member’s project in the 2-3 months since. I searched my records to try and figure out what happened, and discovered that in early March I had inquiries about two similar projects within a week of each other, from two different people, but who happened to have the same last name, and live in roughly the same part of town. In the process of managing my “to do” list over the course of the following week, which has jobs and estimates organized by last name, I must have deleted one by mistake, and then lost track of it. This was a very unusual accident.
