Mike was excellent. He arrived on time and was able to complete our very long list of tasks. We had a wiring issue with some switches that had baffled us since we purchased the home over 20 years ago. Mike was able to get to the root cause of the issue and get the switches wired correctly so the issue went away. Mike also got to the root cause of an issue with our bathroom outlets and they no longer blow a fuse on a regular basis. Mike also installed four outdoor lights that we purchased years ago but were never able to install ourselves. The last task was the installation of a 2nd story entry light which required the help of his son which went very well. Mike did a great job overall and I would highly recommend him to others.
Description of Work: Installed 2 GFI Outlets, Replaced four Outside Lights, Replaced an entry light, fixed 2 electrical wiring issues.

This was an emergency situation as RGE had turned off the power due to a safety concern. Mike responded immediately and professionally and worked through roadbocks to get the situation resolved.

Mike completed the work in a very reasonable time. Mike explained what he was doing throughout the project and why certain changes had to be made. He patiently showed me how to install the LED bulbs and gave me suggestions on how to hang the pendant light I installed once he had installed the box for it. I was very pleased with the work Mike did for me. I'd call him in the future for any other electrical work.
Description of Work: Mike did a great job consolidating the multiple generations of electrical work that had been added since the 1920s to my basement. What had been "buried" was safely capped and made accessible. Old lighting fixtures were removed and 6 can lights were installed. Mike installed a dimmer switch at the base of the stairs and the other switch at the top of the stairs for these. Mike also added 2 GFIs and 6 electrical wall outlets. I thought his service was reasonably priced for the day and a half he spent completing this job, including all materials.

My apologies (again). I have no record or recollection of the appointment or the contact, and I can only assume that it is a miscommunication of some kind, probably my fault, most likely stemming from the notebook I lost recently of job notes and contact information. If so, this would be the second, and hopefully the last, such result of that loss. Again -- and no consolation I'm sure -- the dissatisfaction had nothing to do with my work itself, prices, etc.

I spoke with someone from this company about getting an estimate for an electrical upgrade. We spoke for about 10 mins. He said he would return my call within a day to set up a time for the estimate at my home. No one ever called me back. Not good business

Response from Mike Williams Electric
My apologies. Once in a blue moon I lose track of a call. It's more likely to happen when I take a call when I'm driving, and can't take notes. More rarely, I lost a notebook a month or two ago that had contact information and call notes in it, and that may be the reason I missed this one. At any rate, it's not my normal practice. I am relieved to note that [member's name removed] negative rating had nothing to do with actual work I've done, pricing, an estimate, or even a missed appointment.

Mike and I discussed what was needed. He noticed that the circuit box was one that had been recalled (he said "google it".. I did and that brand/style was one that had been recalled )....so day one was replacing that box...not an easy feat due to the duct work. He worked about a total of two days on all the outlets and and light fixtures....and an additional 3 infuriating hours on a ceiling fan. The existing box was badly (to put it nicely) installed and had to be replaced which added time to the install. AND a part was missing (a common problem for that model according to the reviews: always read the reviews first). So I got the light fixture straightened out and could have very easily finished it myself but Mike came by and did it....saved me from dragging out the ladder. I can now vacuum from any outlet in the house without an outage....no more excuses. And whole new storage options have opened up now that the basement is well lit.
Description of Work: Mike updated about seven outlets and added nine new ones. He also replaced the circuit box (the one that had been installed 13+ years ago had been recalled due to fire danger). He added a few light fixtures in the basement/cellar....and a new outlet for a freezer. He also installed a ceiling fan from h***.

The ceiling fan from WHERE???? [member name removed], I thought you got it from some local DIY store. That explains it. It was a fun job, and nice to know I made an serious improvement in safety and livability, given that it's a cute but old South Wedge bungalow. You kindly mentioned the challenges of working in the basement, but you didn't say anything about the raccoons. Just kidding. I know, I know -- they were away ... for the holidays, I assume.

Mike came the day after Christmas to do a simple job of rewiring a bathroom. Simple for him since I couldn't figure it out. I extended the job to fix wiring issues in kitchen and other old outlet replacements. He was wonderful to work with, great communication on schedule and very reasonable rates. I would highly recommend him.

I appreciate the overall A grade. The responsiveness mark puzzles me, however; the initial contact came on Christmas Eve, 12/24. The situation was not an emergency, and was described in the customer's appointment confirmation email as "Not a hurry. Just my holiday to do list." The work was actually done two days later, on the day after Christmas, 12/26; I actually showed up a little early for the appointment. The customer added a number of tasks to the list besides the original bathroom reconnections, and the job took about 2-1/2 hours longer than planned. I charged my standard rates for service call and per hour for labor, which I believe are quite competetive.

)Mike called on Friday to reschedule a Monday appointment due to additional work he needed to do on a job he was involved with on Friday. Was slightly delayed for the rescheduled appointment, but still arrived within a reasonably short time. Work was started and completed in a short amount of time and he was willing to look at and correct additional problems with garage lighting and an exterior plug. He and his helper were friendly and cleaned up after themselves. Price seemed reasonable.
Description of Work: Searched for and repaired cause of circuit failure for lights in living room, outdoor deck and garage lights. (blown GFI plug). Also searched for and repaired cause for failure of outside plug near garage entrance and a failed garage outside motion detector light. Also, replaced a garage interior light which was broken.

Mike went well beyond what I expected from his services. I called him early in the afternoon after a blown fuse started to cause some issues throughout our kitchen. He was able to come the same day, only a few hours after the call, and review the issues, knowing exactly what the problem was and what needed to be fixed. There was some extra work that needed to be done, and Mike asked if he could stay and fix the issue which we happily agreed since we live in a very old house and this would have needed to be done at some point. There was even a quick run to Home Deport to grab some new outlets due to cracked and old ones. Not only was he professional, but very personable which is equally as important for me.

Mike does a careful, neat, well planned, and competent job. He is knowledgeable, reasonably available, responsive to emails and phone calls, and was good about meeting the agreed schedule or informing me of changes. The electrical inspector approved his work with no problems. Mike is also a interesting and pleasant person who is very easy to communicate with. He has a nice, absolutely quiet dog, that stays in his van while he works.
Description of Work: Mike replaced two 100 amp Federal Pacific basement electrical panels with Square D QC style panels. He also replaced a service disconnect for one of the panels.

Thank you so much! Just for the record, the dog gets out once in a while, to stretch his legs. I bring him along partly at his insistence, but partly because he's good security for the van when I work in difficult neighborhoods. He's much nicer than he looks -- but don't tell anyone!

It went well. Please see above statement for details.
Description of Work: Mike came when he said and showed on time. We had him rework an electrical junction box in our garage that was a safety concern. He also added a 4 plug outlet from that box where we had previously only 2.He added a GFI in our basement near the laundry sink ( bringing us to code). Mike ran wire to opposite side of cellar to add an outlet for power to a work bench station. He then upgraded an existing wall outlet in our family room to a 3 prong grounded outlet. He worked on a Sunday to accommodate us. His work was professional, neat, thorough, and efficient. We were very pleased and definitely will use Mike's services again.

Well, he overbooked so his initial appointment had to be moved a day. He was prompt, informative, and very courteous, and work was done in a timely fashion. The dryer problem was a stumbling block but he managed to get it resolved so that the dryer would work. He found two loose breakers and replaced them, Mike thought that perhaps that one of the breakers was the cause of the GFI problem not working. It was a pleasure having him in our home.
Description of Work: Fixed the dryer outlet, and the GFI outlet. He also replaced two circuit breakers in the panel box.

Very well. Problems identified and corrected at a very reasonable price.
Description of Work: Yikes! We lost half the electric service in our house! We could not open the garage door to get to the car so hubbie could get to work. Two circuit breakers were open and we could not reset them. Mike was here with a half hour of our call! He quickly got everything back on and went over with my husband what was overloading those circuits. Mike is a very nice, very personable guy - just the kind of person you feel comfortable working on your house. He will be back to help us with some remodeling jobs in the near future.

We have several old Victorian homes, all of which have special problems. As with most older homes finding a problem or adding new service is difficult. Mike is especially good for finding the cause of a problem and solving it. He listens to what you want done or what the is going on. We have hired him many times over the last year. He has done both small and large jobs for us.
