Nick was my salesman and he was super nice and so kind and helpful. He was always great about getting back with me and also going the extra mile. The crew was super nice too and am very pleased with the whole install experience. I cannot say enough good things about this wonderful company with getting my generator put in and the whole process. I would highly recommend them!

2 people were sent out to complete this job. They totally messed it up. Lights were not installed in the correct places. 45 minutes was spent on the phone with Great Lakes Electric and Gross Electric arguing about the placement of the lights, and whose fault it was. They left mud across my carpet. They took an entire day to do a less than half day job. A lot of goofing off. Someone had to come back the next day to correct the placement of the lights. Guess who had to pay for their mistake. I would not use Great Lakes Electric again, nor would I use Gross Electric.
Description of Work: I needed landscape/security lighting installed; and 1 GFCI outlet installed. Items were purchased from Gross Electric, and I was given Great Lakes Electric as an installer. Gross Electric said that the installer (Great Lakes Electric) would call them to get the proper placement of the outside lights.

They were really dependable and good. They came and completed the job in a satisfactory time. While they were here in the house, they didn't make a mess and anything that dragged out, they cleaned it up. Everything was nice. I got quotes from 3 different people and I think theirs was the best quote for the price. They defined everything they were going to do and they did it. They didn't bother me or try to talk to me. They said they'd be here at a certain time and they were here at that time. They got the work done and got out of my house. If it happened they were coming late, they'd inform me. I'd recommend them. If I had a friend and they needed to, I'd tell them to call them or at least get a quote from them.
Description of Work: I had them put lights in the ceiling, then a hanging light over the island and then out in the family room, they hung a chandelier over the dining table.

The job went great from start to finish. The electrician repaired a short I created by installing an over-the-range microwave. The 2 person crew then replaced a small bath fan with a larger unit, and also replaced the vanity light. They also corrected a builder's problem of having to turn off 2 breakers at the same time to shut off a single light circuit.
Description of Work: Repaired shorted outlet damaged by installing a Microwave. Removed old bath fan, install new fan / heater / light. Removed bath vanity light, installed new vanity light. Fixed double-tapped circuit.

I used this company because they gave me an itemized list and list of everything they were going to do. I had 3 other bids this was the best because they defined their proposal with neatness. The workers were on time introduced themselves. Told me what they were going to do covered the counter-tops, wore covers on their shoes in the house. The workers were polite when they needed something from me.
Description of Work: Cruz and Kole installed 7, 6" Cam lights LED, installed island lite. Took out old fan hook up. Installed electrical line for 2 under counter lites. Checked all installations, put dimmer on switches. Showed me where fuse was in breakers box. Cleaned up mess for installation of lights. Took away all boxes and wrappings.

Chuck from Great Lakes was very professional, courteous and competent. He listened to my concerns, checked the wiring and determined that the fixtures were the problem rather than the wiring. He dealt with the home warranty company and got the fan approved. Although the home warranty company would not cover the exterior fixture, Chuck picked one up for me while he was out buying the fan and then installed it for me when he returned. He said he would have had to have put the faulty one back up anyway so he just charged me the $43 for the actual lamp (he also gave me the Lowes receipt). I thought it was really nice of him to not charge me extra to install it. The new ceiling fan looks and works great. Since this is my first year in this house, I have had occation to bring in several repair people. Great Lakes was one of the best experiences I have had with a contractor. Polite, efficient, competent and fair on the pricing... what's not to like?
Description of Work: I was assigned Great Lakes Electrical by my home warranty company after the initial handyman company failed to perform the work. I am very glad they did. Great Lakes scheduled the call for the next day and Chuck arrived at about 8:30 (the window was 8-12). He accurately diagnosed the problems with my lights outside my garage and my ceiling fan in the living room. He replaced both fixtures and each is now working. From arrival to departure was about 3 hours, including the time it took him to obtain new fixtures from Lowes. I am very happy with their service and I would definitely call them again when I need electrical work done.

Greg came to my house in a professional and timely manner. I showed him what needed to be done, a few baseboard heaters and a heater in the bathroom and laundry room. He said no problem and gave me an estimate less than a week later. I recently called him to set up an appointment to get the work done. He told me to call back in a couple weeks. A few weeks past and I called him again. He said to I should find someone else, he's busy. I thought that was rude and unprofessional. I've had many contractors do various work at my house throughout the years and I've never had one to tell me to call them back weeks later or tell me to find someone else. He told me at the time he inspected my home, it was a 1 day job. Great Lakes can't spare one day to make over $2,200? I'll look elsewhere and will never call these people again. They wasted my time.
