He conquered the job. We had him replace regular outlets with GFI outlets. One electrician showed up to do the work. He works a day job and does this on the side. It was a little tough to get ahold of him and he worked in the evenings. Some of the things we wanted him to do was outside, so we had to make sure there was adequate daylight.

I could never get him to come out to the house. Every time I called, I either had to leave a message. When he did call me back, he would end up telling me he needed to check his calendar and would let me know when he could fit me in. But then he wouldn't call. I ended up getting a refund, as he seemed uninterested in doing the work.

Tim was amazing and I would highly recommend him! I had been waiting days and hours for another contractor to come out to our residence to complete work from an unexpected snow storm. When the prior contractor finally gave up the job he told me Tim would contact me to schedule the work. I had been without power for 2 days. Time called me back within 5 mins and was out to my house within the hour. He was professional and went right to work. He gave me a quote of 600-700 prior to going out for parts. Kept me informed throughout the entire process. He worked non-stop and even when the day light was basically gone and did what he needed to in order to get us power and heat for the night. His quote was right on and he didn?t ask for any more or anything unexpected. He was honest and only did the work that was needed. He even saved our ground wire when another contractor told us it needed to be replaced. I will be using him again this weekend I was so impressed with his work. You will not be disappointed.
Description of Work: Replaced weather head and base meter pipe as well as a line going into the breaker box.

the guy came out to take a look all was fine. they guy wouldnt come and complete the job, quite unprofessional with not coming on announced dates for the service/work. had angies list contact the guy, but that didnt help either. had angies list issue me a refund after 6months of playing telephone and losing vacation days due to the guy not showing up as stated. I believe that my house was not a easy /quick money fix so the guy didnt want to bother with it, so i guess it is a sort of cherry picking... Never use the person again. Never recommend dealing with this guy(Tim) and his company. (wound up using another company for less cost and they actually kept their appointment)
Description of Work: big deal that was never honored

My service experience with Star Electric was excellent. Tim arranged a convenient time for me. He arrived on time and with all the tools and materials necessary to complete the job. TIm explained what he would do and then he did. He worked quickly and professionally. There was nothing to clean up after he left. Tim also diagnosed a problem I'd been having with a GFCI outlet in a bedroom. Problem solved.
Description of Work: Tim Balogh removed an old single ungrounded outdoor outlet with a GFCI protected grounded dual outlet. He also installed a new weather proof cover. In addition, Tim diagnosed a troublesome GFCI outlet indoors.

The electrician had difficulty disabling the electrical on one outlet. However, he did eventually complete the job. The medicine cabinet had a dent and was a little bent afterward. However, overall he did a good job.

I tried to contact Star Electric several times (both phone and e-mail) to set up an appointment. It finally took a call to Angie's List to get him to call me, even though I had already laid out some money. Once I was on his radar screen, he was very responsive, however. Tim of Star Electric came out a few days before our service date to figure out what he would need to do the job, w The work involved extensive time in our very cramped attic (too little headroom to stand up, even in the center) to tap into existing power and run lines down to our master bedroom inside the walls. I was impressed with how Tim, who is big, was able to get into and out of the attic several time, just working his way along the rafters to the far end. The work was fine. I installed the lights myself after he put the wiring and switches in. Shortly after he finished, and I had paid him, I discovered that a plug in our living room (on the other side of the back wall of the closets) was dead. I called him on his cell, and he turned around and came back, found the problem, and fixed it, immediately. I appreciated his rapid response to a surprise problem with the work.
Description of Work: This service was part of a "Big Deal" from Angie's List. The job consisted of installing wiring for a couple of lights in closets, and putting in the wiring for LED strip lighting for a cabinet I am building into an alcove.

It took two times to schedule with him and the first time he was scheduled he called after being late for an hour and asked to reschedule. I rescheduled for twoo weeks later and he came late again and was only able to complete half of the work and then said he would come back to finish the work. He never called to reschedule.
Description of Work: I had the electrician check my phone wires to determine if I had a short inside the home. This took him an hour. He had to leave and said he would call to reschedule the second hour of the coupon I bought from him.

Tim is now my electrician. The quality of his work is great, his prices are reasonable given the quality of his work, and he calls me back right away when I call.
Description of Work: Initially, Tim installed 4 fluorescent lights in garage, 1 motion sensor light on outside of garage and rewire portions inside garage. I liked his work so much I had him back to add outlets in an upstairs bedroom, fix the front doorbell, install an outside light at the side door and add a 220 (for an electric stove) in the kitchen. He cleaned up some other things (removed old fuse box, put exposed wiring into wall) as well.

Tim showed up on time. He was friendly and professional. He repaired both circuits, after doing some troubleshooting. I stayed with him to flip the switches for the troubleshooting. He fixed all of the issues, and the circuits are still working to this day. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again, and actually have had another job quoted from him, which I'm going to have him do as soon as I get the funds.
Description of Work: Bought a 2 hour big Deal for electrical service. I used it to repair a 3-way and 4 way light circuit.

Right when I got a coupon I sent an email to let him know I had a coupon. I was really busy over the summer, though, and I did not talk to him again until the week before September 11. He said not to worry abut expiration date and told me to he would call to set up an appointment. He never did contact me. I have now called him 3 times in the last month and I have yet hear from him.
