They did not show up when they said they would. The bill was more then the estimate and they charged me much more for a product I could have gotten myself. I would have appreciated it if they cleaned up after themselves.

The comments that you have made in this report are not in any way similar to the comments that you expressed to us when we were planning or completing the work. We gave you a ballpark estimate of $730 and then charged you $900, because the scope of the work changed. You are the one that requested the change. All your other comments are also not factual. Someone will be calling you soon to ask why you did not express these concerns verbally to us. We strive for customer satisfaction, and we hope that we can resolve any adverse issues that you have with our company.

Tony was on time, completed the work and then some. He also came back for the South Euclid Building Inspector to inspect the work completed. Excellent job, very professional and the clean up was awesome. I would recommend Skettle and I would use them again and again. I am a very critical person when it comes to people and or companies giving an estimate and performing that work. I was very very impressed and I liked the workers.
Description of Work: Had electrical receptacles grounded, replaced with 3 prong receptacles in kitchen, bathroom, basement, the removal of electrical cords, proper wiring for garage opener and attic fan.

Tony and a couple of his employees came to my house and were able to wire up and install an 8 foot baseboard heater + Thermostat in my 3rd floor bedroom in under 4 hours. The installation looks and works great, and they did a good job cleaning up after themselves. Getting a quote and scheduling was very easy, and Kathy was always helpful when i had questions.

It went very well. They were very pleasant to work with, he was down to earth and easy to talk to. I worked with he and his wife and they were both very pleasant. The workmanship was very good as well. They were perfectionist and did the work so that it would like nice. The generator was very large and they did a nice job laying the lines and working with my existing bushes and shrubbery. I asked them to do some research on the different types of generators and that took a little while, but in the end he came up with a very good option for the generator. There were some delays in getting the work started due to conflicts with both of our schedules but once the work began everything went smoothly.
Description of Work: They put in a generator for me. In addition to that, they also did some other electrical work including installing outlets at the 4 corners of the eaves of the roof.

Everyone I interacted with at Skettle regarding this work was very courteous, professional and pleasant. That includes Karl who came over to provide the estimate (and later to perform the work as well) and Kathy who I communicated with over email and phone. The price they quoted was much more reasonable than another verbal quote I had received from a different provider (that also happens to be top-rated on Angies List. This was not the first time I had found out that top-rated on Angies List doesn't always translate to great service in all aspects). Skettle Electric was very accommodating - they rescheduled the work promptly when I had an unexpected conflict and completed the work in the time frame they had promised, again respecting my schedule. I am very happy with the work they did, and will call them again without any hesitation!
Description of Work: Repaired outside service (replaced weather head, mast, piping etc.) that was damaged by storm.

Tony came out to give estimate and work was arranged a few weeks later. Price was competitive and they were willing to add on some small stuff we wanted done. Job took several days but it was a lot to do. Nice to deal with Kathy in the office, very organized and was good to be able to reach someone easily.

A neighbor's tree fell down and pulled down my electrical lines, including pulling the meter and casing right off the house. The electric company installed new electrical lines to the roof and cut the old lines to the breaker box. I called Skettle as soon as the electric company ran new lines to my house. Skettle was able to schedule the repairs for the same day. The repairmen were friendly and very efficient. Skettle was able to restore electicity to my house that day and bypassed the meter (since it was going to take the electric company a week to come back and install a new meter). The reason I gave them a B on Punctuality is that they had to come back the next day to meet with a city inspector and cement a hole to the new line to the breaker box. The city inspector meeting went fine, but they didn't have time until a day later to cement the hole.
Description of Work: Replace damaged exterior electrical meter base, wiring to the breaker box, etc and install a code-required grounding rod.

They came out on an emergency phone call - they were out at my house within an hour and a half. I have used them several times. They are very professional and do very good work. Clearly in an emergency they are very prompt. They have very reasonable prices. I split the cost with the concrete people. The total cost was $500 and I paid about $250. I would rate them highly and would continue to use them in the future.

Contact was fast and scheduling was very efficient, they came by quickly and were incredibly professional and kind, and explained everything they were doing in a way I could understand. They were open to answering questions and helping with jobs that were not originally requested when the phone call was made. The man who came here was in the Skettle family, and clearly had a lot of experience as an electrician. Will definitely call them next time I need any electrical services!

(05/10/2010) They pulled up the wire and ended up damaging the lights. They ended-up leaving the wires above ground instead of burying them. They also drilled a hole in the garage at the door, instead of up higher where I wanted it. They overcharged me and I was very disappointed with the work that was done because they didn't do it how I asked them to do it. UPDATE (06/04/2010) Don'ts- Make verbal reports: Dos- Admit when you have made a mistake. Worked performed in 2008 - I DID NOT REPORT DIRECTLY TO THE COMPANY that I was dissatisfied with the work. My report was totally unfair to Skettle Electrical Co., they deserved to be called when there is a problem. My poor judgment has caused reader to believe this company is not worthy. Skettle's is a GOOD Company. I sincerely apologizes for any mis-conceptions and or mis-deems.
Description of Work: (05/10/2010) I wanted them to put a motion light in my backyard for me and replace my landscaping light. UPDATE (06/04/2010) Dos - The owner personally came out examine the situation and made all corrections.

On October 1, 2008 we completed the following work for you for a price of $437.00: *Purchased, ran line for, & installed motion light on garage. *Installed 6 customer supplied landscape lights. *Repaired broken line in landscape lighting. This is the first time that we have heard back from you since the work was completed. If you were not satisfied, why did you not not contact us? Our company prides itself in customer satisfaction. If you would have expressed your dissatisfaction, we would have come back to your home and addressed your concerns. Obviously, something else is going on here, since we NEVER get this type of review. Also, you have the date of service incorrect. We will be happy to provide you with a copy of the invoice. We do not understand why you waited one and a half years to express your dissatisfaction, and then to express it on Angie's List, rather than calling our offices. Someone will be contacting you to get to the bottom of this matter.

I originally contacted Skettle Electric to correct the improper installation by another company of a sub-panel for additional circuits we had added. During the estimate, I was informed that our main panel would not pass a point of sale inspection. I decided rather than just repairing the incorrect installation that I would have the main panel replaced and eliminate the sub panel. They arrived late for the installation appointment, but did call to let me know. The job was completed on time and on budget. I am very happy with the work that was done. Kathy keeps you informed. I would use Skettle Electric again.
Description of Work: Installed a 100 amp / 30 circuit panel and mounted on a new backboard. Properly grounded house and detached garage. Installed new GFCI utility outlet by panel. Replace outside outlet with a new GFCI outlet. Purchased permit from city and had work inspected by city.

We were in real need of upgrading our electrical system. Skettle Electric worked around our previously scheduled attic insultaion job with seeminly no problem. It is quite possible that I did not list all the work that was done because we added to the job as we went along. Kathy Skettle answers your calls and handles scheduling and is pleasant to deal with. Tony Skettle is very knowledgeable in his field and took the time to explain to us what he was doing. He and his crew are friendly and nice to have work in your home. They worked here for a number of days, worked very efficiently and left our home in clean condition. We no longer trip circuits and we now have all the power we need. There is no doubt that we will call on Skettle Electric for any future electrical needs and we highly recommend their services.
Description of Work: 1) Eliminated main panels & 4 sub-feed panels in basement. Installed 40 circuit panel with 100 amp main breaker. Installed all grounding criteria and a GFCI utility outlet required by code. 2) Replaced outside service with 100 amp service. Included a weatherhead, mast, meter base, intersystem bonding termination unit, permanent connection to Illuminating Co. equipment. 3) Replaced exhaust fan in bathroom. 4) Installed 4 dedicated GFCI outlets. 5) Installed 2 GFCI protected outlets in garage for garage door openers. 6) Also checked wiring we did ourselves. Replaced light boxes and 5 light fixtures. Ran 2 new circuits to attic to alleviate overloading. 7) Added several extra outlets and light switch. 8) Installed sump pump motor. 9) Purchased permit. 10) Labeled circuit panel.

They are excellent to work with. Reasonable price for what they do. Working with old homes is not easy: just try to get electrical cable through a plaster and lath wall. Skettle is skilled at working with these older homes. I will continue to use them for all my electrical needs.
Description of Work: Skettle electric installed an electric baseboard heater in my back foyer. They have also done quite a bit of other electrical work for me including the addition of new outlets, cable, phone, all over my 80 year old home.
