Excellent.
Description of Work: I sent a request to have David come out to look at an electrical problem in my kitchen that I was having trouble figuring out. He actually sent me an email right away and walked me through troubleshooting and fixed the problem without making a call. No charge. Just a smart reliable electrician that I will use in the future and recommend to anyone.

Everything went very well.
Description of Work: Dave and Sam have done multiple jobs for me. The last one was to assist me in making sure all outlets, wiring and lighting were up to code prior to my point of sale inspection in Cleveland Heights. As always they did a wonderful job. Dave and Sam are courteous, conscientious and thorough.

It went well. David came out to quote the work within a day and started within the week. He was confident and knew what he was doing.
Description of Work: Our house was built in 1956 and needed serious electrical updates. The previous owners had installed grounded plugs that were not grounded. Ewww. Dave installed 100 amp main breaker, 30 circuit panel, system ground primary and secondary. Installed 100 amp service, porcelain pull chain fixture, porcelain key-less, porcelain pull chain fixtures, and replaced counter outlets with gfci, stack single pole switch, triple disbar single pole switch, master bath switch outlet with combo switch gfci, garage fixtures, and removed. Single stack pole switches and terminated wires in 3 locations. I don't understand all of this, but in a nutshell, we had all of the wiring completely done. The cost also included all local permit costs.

They were fairly priced. I appreciated the quality of work and instead of just placing the lights anywhere they talked to me about the old wiring that I had and the amount of work that needed to be done. The price remained competitive to the amount of work that needed to be done. They worked late into the evening and the job was done in 24 hours.
Description of Work: They replaced 15 of the light fixtures in my house.

Dave evaluated the job, gave me an estimate, and a start date and time. He arrived promptly as scheduled. He and Sam completed the job in a professional manner, cleaned up completely and removed the trash from the property. This is at least the second time Dave has done work in our home, and we are completely satisfied. I agree with others that I would not sacrifice his knowledge and professionalism for a lower price.

Dave Neuman is a consummate professional. I was impressed by every bit of my dealing with him, from the initial contact, through the estimating process, and through the actual installation and final inspection. He made recommendations that were appropriate to my needs, anticipated what I WANTED as opposed to what I was asking for (but clarified it with me before proceeding), worked with me to keep the overall project cost reasonable, and accomplished the job in a timely, workmanlike fashion that is representative of best-of-breed. I entrusted him with a key to my residence so that he could do the job and come and go as needed for inspection purposes without my being there, and he never let me down. He states himself that he's not the cheapest, but if you're looking for cheap, you'll undoubtedly be sacrificing quality. I will likely retain Dave's services for future jobs, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled, professional electrician.
Description of Work: New 100amp service to house, new breaker panel, removal/consolidation of sub panels, installation of 3-way switch for basement light, new circuits run for washer/dryer and freezer in basement, as well as, basement entertainment area.

Now that I have used Dave's Electrical, I would never use another electrical contractor. His depth of knowledge and ability to work through the unexpected is very impressive. I received several estimates and after seeing Dave's, I realized that the one from Hilliard Electric was superficial and inaccurate. Dave returned every phone call promptly, showed up exactly when he said he would, never late. Very professional and personable. The quality was first-rate as well.
Description of Work: Dave installed the wiring that runs to the heat cable on the roof (which melts falling snow/ice). He installed 4 GFCI Protected Circuits and two lighted switches. This was a very complicated job and required running a circuit from the power main and setting a number of connection points.

I found Dave on the list, and I went to his website. I filled out the contact info he conveniently placed on his website. He emailed me promptly and even followed that up with a phone call. No fault of Dave's, however, I went with another electrician. Nonetheless, if I ever need electrical assistance in the future, I would not hesitate to give Dave a call.

I started having intermittent power problems with my refrigerator and stove. Dave's Electric suggested that I contact the Illuminating Company to check power coming to the meter. The Illuminating Co. came out and replaced the caps at the outside meter. Then Dave's Electric came out and checked my panel inside the house.
Description of Work: Tighten the connection in the panel box and measured the power output from the breakers.

I called late one evening and Dave answered the phone. He was very hospitable, and waited for me to go to the basement to find answers to his questions. He scheduled an arrival time the next day and when he was going to be late, he called to let me know. He arrived within the estimated time and completed the work quickly. He explained everything he did and showed me the defective parts.
Description of Work: Dave came out to inspect my fuse box that was blowing fuses regularly and appeared to be burning. He rewired the lines in the fuse box to the main circuit breaker and eliminated the bad fuse connection.

Dave returned my phone call the same day. He gave me an estimate, over the phone, and asked me to call him once I had bought the light for outside. When I called him on Friday, it was after 6:00 p.m, so I left a message. Dave returned the call on Sunday morning as I was getting ready for church. He said he would call me later. When I returned from church later that afternoon, I called Dave and left a message. He returned the call promptly and said that he could come over and do the work that day. I was surprised that he would be willing to perform work on a Sunday afternoon! When I met him at the door, he was very professional, he introduced himself, and shook my hand. He went right to work. He was very efficient and I am very pleased with his work. I will definitely keep his card for future electrical work.
Description of Work: Dave repaired the light switch in my kitchen and he also installed an exterior light.

I had him out for an estimate on electrical work. Strange experience. What I wanted was pretty straight forward (and within any electrical code) but he seemed to determined to want to tell me what I wanted. His estimates were very high. I ended up with another "A" rated company that did the job as requested for less than 1/2 the price.

Response from Dave's Electric
THANK YOU FOR THE POSTING. WHENEVER CALLED BY A CONSUMER, I ALWAYS GIVE THE CONSUMER VARIOUS OPTIONS. I WILL ASK QUESTIONS TO ACQUAINT MYSELF WITH THEIR NEEDS. THIS IS DONE SO THAT I CAN HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING AND GIVE THE APPROPRIATE ADVICE AND OPTIONS. SY SYMMS SAYS "AN EDUCATED CONSUMER IS A BETTER CONSUMER". I HAVE HEARD FROM A MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER THAT "THE CONSUMER WANTS WHAT HE/SHE KNOWS". I AM SORRY THAT THE MEMBER FELT THAT I WAS TRYING TO CONVINCE HER TO DO THINGS OTHER THAN WHAT SHE WANTED. ALL I DID WAS GIVE HER OPTIONS. MY PRICING IS COMPETITIVE FOR THE QUALITY OF WORK THAT WE DO. OUR QUALITY IS OUR TRADE MARK. VISIT OUR WEB SITE AT DAVES-ELECTRIC.COM

First, every timeline and every promise that was made by Dave was fulfilled. Dave scheduled a meeting at Home Depot to show us the best fixtures to purchase and made an appointment to begin the work that same evening. He was at both appointments promptly. He had to finish the work the next morning and brought his son to assist him at 8:00 am the next morning as promised. They did an excellent job, and we would be proud to recommend Dave's Electric in the future.
Description of Work: Three electric fixtures had to be replaced and rewired. They were the forty-eight inch long fluorescent lights. One was in the hood of a countertop electric stove and the two were under a hang kitchen cabinet.

Mr. Newman, and his son, Sam, are highly qualified and meticulous electricians. Since 1988, I have trusted my electrical work to this company in 3 houses I've owned. I feel safe with them in my home, I trust their opinion, and I am very satisfied with the excellent quality of work they provide. The pricing is fair, they arrive when expected, have worked around my schedule, and clean-up afterwards.
Description of Work: Installed 5 ceiling fans (new boxes on 4 of them; wall switches and wall controls on 2 of them). Replaced wall outlet with GFCI. Repaired wall outlet. Replaced 3 exterior lights.

Dave Neuman responded the same day to my email requesting service to hook-up an attic exhaust fan. However after that many days passed (several times) between hearing back from him. I waited one week after his initial reply to make an appointment, so I then emailed again. Dave did call the evening after my 2nd email, and said he could send his son to do the job the next day (a Friday). However I would not be home the next day, so Dave said he would call early the next week to make a new appointment. 18 days have now passed without hearing from him. I got tired of waiting and found someone else to do the job. Dave also had quoted a price of over $200, whereas I eventually paid only $75 to do the job. Though to be fair, Dave never actually came over to see what needed to be done, so perhaps he overestimated what needed to be done without actually looking at it in person.

Response from Dave's Electric
IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT THE MEMBER AND I WERE UNABLE TO CONNECT. EARLY ON, WE HAD CONFLICTING SCHEDULES. IT APPEARS HAT THERE ARE TWO ISSUES HERE. FIRST, WE DROPPED THE BALL BY NOT FOLLOWING UP. AS A SMALL COMPANY OF TWO, WE AT TIMES GET TIED UP ON A PROJECT OR A SERVICE ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WHEN WORKING ON OLDER HOMES WHEN THE UNFORSEEN AND UNEXPECTED IS UNCOVERED. HENCE WE MISSED OUR OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE A SERVICE. SECONDLY, OUR PRICE MAY HAVE BEEN QUOTED HIGH, AS IT WAS DONE WITHOUT A SITE VISIT. THE MEMBER HAD ASKED THAT I QUOTE HIM WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE PROJECT. QUOTED HIM THAT THE COST COULD BE AS AS HIGH AS $200.00. WE WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO PROVIDE A LIST OF SATISFIED RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS AS REFERENCES PER REQUEST. VISIT OUR WEB SITE AT WWW.DAVES-ELECTRIC.COM TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR SERVICE AND SEE WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT OUR WORK. RESPONSIVENESS IS MOST IMPORTANT, AND AGAIN, WE DROPPED THE BALL. BUT, QUALITY OF WORK IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED, DAVID NEUMAN STATE OF OHIO LICENSE # 21234 DAVE''S ELECTRICAL SERVICE, LTD. 216-371-1580 FAX 216-371-2893 WWW.DAVES-ELECTRIC.COM
