Michael Pilloli lied under oath and locked me up for 5 years and a day. When Appellate Court Judges said his testimony could not be trusted at all, the great detective made threats towards my sons well being, if I did the process to clear my name. I still have the transcripts. You owe me for 5 years on a tainted conviction and I still carry that felony, getting me treated nasty by everyone. Help me out of this out you put me in Michael. I love the way you told me to go get my shotgun and unload it. Thought I was stupid. Wonder how many "Justified " shootings you had.
Description of Work: I needed the truth

electrician
+ -1 moreMichael came out and assessed the job. He gave me an estimate for the work and because it was reasonable I hired him. We made an appointment for the following week. Michael was personable, professional, and very competent. He had all the tools and parts he needed and was able to install almost all of the work in one day, coming back the next morning to finish up. Everything was done professionally, which is why I hired a licensed electrician!
Description of Work: I needed a thermostat switch installed for an attic fan, 2 outdoor spotlights, a pier light, a patio ceiling light, a light above my garage door and one above my front door.

+ -1 moreFinally getting around to writing this past due review. I would (and will) certainly use Mike in the future. I would highly recommend for anything you need done from the electrical standpoint. Very professional and very neat. He has also written a book which covers electricity basics for persons like myself, and it's available from amazon for only a few dollars! If interested, simply search by his name and it'll come up instantly.
Description of Work: ran main line to other side of basement to install another panel; cleared out some breakers from "old" panel and moved into the newly installed one.

electrician
+ -1 moreHe arrived right on time and we walked through the problem/situation. After checking several things, it was determined that the wiring at the time that my home was built (1974) had used two wires instead of three wires in those two switches. Without tearing apart the wall, etc. ( a large expense too), there was really nothing else that could be done at this time. I told him that it was really okay because I've lived with this situation for all these years and was used to it. It had been a comment that someone else had recently made that prompted me to have an electrician look at it and advise. Michael was very professional and kind. He charged me nothing for the consultation. I would readily recommend him to anyone needing trustworthy electrical work done. He will be my "go-to" person for any future electrical work that I may need.
Description of Work: I had contacted Michael to see whether or not he would be able to come to me home and see if anything could be done to redo a couple electrical switches. He returned my call and we scheduled a time.

Description of Work: I did use Western Reserve Electric. They did some clean-up of electrical systems and wires in order for my house to meet code and proof for inspection.

electrician
+ -1 moreJob done well but he tried to back out telling me I was putting to much pressure on him to finish job. I had explained that I needed job completed ASAP d/ t insurance and closing and he said he could. He stated he couldn't get a hold of electric company to meet him. Electric company showed up and he did not. Then he scheduled for following week blaming on weather forecast and weather forecast was 0% chance of rain that week. When I pointed this out to him him he tried to back out saying I was putting him to much pressure on him. I needed work done and did not want to have to start over w new estimate etc.

electrician
+ -1 moreAsked him specifically on first call if he would work with my home warranty co. Told him I couldnt afford otherwise. He said that was no problem he'd work with me on it. When he arrived I told him I needed him to call the warranty to establish guidlines. He refused. Said he didn't want to get involved. After some discussion he finally agreed to talk to them. When they asked him a couple qualifying questions, like his fone number he freaked out and threw the fone back to me. I continued to try to get somethng done and he gave me some prices that the warranty co. Found ridiculous. He spent a few minutes trying to figure out one of my problems and told me to find someone else. It was a very unpleasant experience. . My first true bad experience with angies list provider.

I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find someone willing to do what many would consider a "small" job. I will definitely call him again when needed and recommend him to anyone in need of an electrician.

+ -1 moreMichael was outstanding--he was able to come at a time convenient for me (a couple of days after the phone call). He was very patient and explained everything he was doing as he worked. (As someone else said, he is a good teacher!) We are very satisfied and will use him again--no question!
Description of Work: We had a lengthy list of things that we'd been putting off. 1) The major problem: Michael discovered and fixed the temperamental off/on problems we were having with our outlets on the entire front side of the house. 2) He replaced an outdoor outlet cover (it was corroded due to exposure). He figured out what some of our switches were connected to (we bought the house a couple of years ago and were always perplexed about these mystery switches.) It was about 2.5 hours of work.

+ -1 moreMichael was professional, easy-to-reach and quick to respond to my messages. Best of all, he is honest. He came over to give us an estimate for fixing our swimming pool's electrical problem, but it was a quick issue to fix and he didn't charge us for it. He also gave us an honest estimate for different ways we could add outdoor lighting to our backyard, without being pushy or attempting to get us to agree to something we didn't want or need. If we decide to add outdoor lighting, or have any more electrical problems in the future, I definitely plan on using his services again.
Description of Work: Provided a free estimate for adding outdoor lighting to our home. Inspected the issue we were having with our swimming pool's electrical system, and corrected it for free.

+ -1 moreBest experience so far with my large project. I cannot say enough about how well things went. I found him on Angie's List with your reviews and hope other member have as much success with everyone they find here.
Description of Work: I was updating a commercial building under a minor alterations permit and needed the current wiring "cleaned up" and specific electrical work done to bring the room I was working on into compliance and functionality. While there with Mike, the owner, I was completely impressed with his knowledge, suggestions, dedication and efficiency. By the time he was half way done with the project I asked Mike if he could add some things on to the original plan. He happily did and he ended up installing a new LED exterior light for security and upgrading the existing lights to reduce energy costs. Mike made the suggestions and then he and I spent a few minutes to figure out how long it would take for the money I was saving on the energy cost to cover the cost of my new fixtures. Mike then updated my emergency and exit lighting to bring my building up to code with current Austintown Fire Department regulations.

electrician
+ -1 moreI received 3 separate bids and awarded the project to Western Reserve Electric. There was very little difference in price between the three bids. The detail that Western Reserve Electric provided in the estimate as well as going over every aspect of how I was going to use the work shop to tailor the lighting and electrical circuits is what made me go with them. Mike was there when he said and was very organized, neat and professional. He explained every aspect of the job and was excruciatingly thorough and detail oriented. There was no surprise with his pricing and he did what he said. I have no reason to ever have to look for another electrician as long as he is in business and recommend him 100%.
Description of Work: Mike completely wired a new 2 story garage/ workshop, including the installation of a 100 amp sub panel from the main house and running underground cable approximately 80'. Garage has 15 receptacles with the circuits split up as my equipment required and 16 light fixtures on 7 switches.

They worked around MY schedule and I had someone here on Monday to do the job. If I could give Western Reserve Electric an A++ on all of the ratings, I would. They were extremely responsive, punctual and professional!! I will recommend them to my coworkers and friends.
Description of Work: Dusk to dawn light on detached garage was not working. After troubleshooting, replaced entire light fixture due to bad transformer in unit.

electrician
+ -1 moreOverall, this was a terrible experience. I didn't need to be scolded for inquiring about obtaining an estimate. When I asked about getting the estimate, the first words out of his mouth should've been, "We can provide an estimate, but be aware that there is a $150 fee involved in having us come out to the house." This person was truly rude and unprofessional.
Description of Work: I called WR Electric to ask about the process of getting an estimate on replacing a breaker box in a house that I want to purchase. I've not had experience with this and wasn't sure what getting an estimate entails. I explained my scenario to the individual that answered the phone and was shocked at what came next. He very rudely stated that the company does not provide free estimates for this type of situation as it's a waste of their time and money. He stated that they waste their time giving an estimate and then no one has the work done. I felt that I was being scolded. Additionally when I described my scenario, I never said that I wanted a "free" estimate. My exact words were, " I need to speak to someone about getting an estimate on changing a breaker box in a house I want to purchase." That's when the scolding began. I then asked if there was a fee involved for obtaining an estimate and his tone changed somewhat. I explained that I knew nothing about this process and that's why I was calling and that I was cut off before I could even ask about fees. He attempted to explain that there was a $150 fee involved but his tone was still stern and unprofessional. At that point, I had had enough. I've never been treated like this by a service company. I'm still shocked as I write this review.

+ -1 moreI called them because some fuses blew in the box. He came out, took at look at what the situation was and emailed me a quote that night. I accepted the quote and he was there the next week doing work. The work would have been completed in one day, but took slightly longer due only to some unforeseen issues (which were quickly resolved). Can you say prompt? In all, it was about 10 days turn around from the time I called him to until the job was done. I know how busy a good electrician can be, so I really appreciated that they understood my urgency. Follow up was great. I look forward to doing business with them again.
