Mike's Electric

The electricians from Mike's showed up right on time and did outstanding work. They were very pleasant and willing to do some additional work for us that was not part of our original work order.

I submitted a request via the company's website and they got in touch with me right away. They were able to give me a good enough estimate over the phone that I decided to hire them. Donny showed up right on time and knew exactly what to do. He didn't waste any time and was done in about an hour. I was surprised to learn that they would bill me. Usually a home repair company will write up the invoice on site, at least for the small jobs I've had done over the years. I admit I was a bit nervous about being billed because I didn't know how much time/labor would be charged. I was pleasantly surprised when I got the bill in the mail because it was less than I expected. Mike's Electric clearly doesn't pad their project time. My job was a small one, but I was treated professionally and with great customer service. I highly recommend this company.

I didn't really look into the details and how they accounted for all the costs. In general, I was satisfied with what Mike's Electric did. They had this weird thing where they say they come with an electrician and then they may or may not come with an apprentice and then you may or may not have to pay for the apprentice. I wasn't quite sure how this all worked. I'm not quite sure I actually paid for the apprentice. I think they did a good job and it wasn't too expensive. They did what they were supposed to do and they could do what they were supposed to do.

The electricians showed up on time. Brad and Brian did a great job. They were courteous and friendly and did good work. They cleaned up well when they had completed the job. They got the job done under the estimated time. Saved me some money. Everyone we talked to on the phone were also very helpful and friendly. I would recommend MIke's Electric to others. Couldn't have gone any better.

He quickly found the electrical problem and fixed it in less than an hour. He then asked if there was anything else I might need - the special was for two hours of work so I mentioned I wanted outlets in the bedroom that would respond to the light switch. He quickly achieved that goal also. He was professional and personable at the same time. Excellent experience - thanks!

Donny arrived on time and completed both tasks meticulously. He asked appropriate questions and cleaned up the areas. This was the third time we've used Mike's, and we've been very pleased each time. There was an error in the bill, but when I called about it, they apologized and sent a revised invoice.

I used an Angie's List Big Deal special offer for this project and I liked Mike. It did cost me a lot extra. He had to go find the electrical outlets he needed to replace, which I understand; but it cost me almost $100 for the parts that he had to get. After he was done everything worked very well but I thought it was kind of expensive for what I thought I was going to get. I guess the price was okay and he did a nice job.

This is not the Mikes Electric that I have used in the past after reading research on Angie's List This is a new owner doing business as Mikes Electric. This is the only negative review I have ever written anywhere. I had a can light in the kitchen that went out intermittently. I went to Angie's list and saw Mikes Electric was still a high rated company. I made an appointment and they came out. The electrician said it probably just needed to have the contact tab bent to make a better contact. I explained I was going out of town for an extended time and was concerned that it could be a fire hazard. He assured me that this would do it. He said all their work was guaranteed so no problem. The next day the light went out again. I called the company and they said they would send someone else out to look at it. I explained I was going out of town for an extended time and again I stated my concern that I wanted to get it fixed before I left. It took them over a week to get back. The new electrician took the light down and said it needed a new part that prevented the light from overheating and that I would have to pay for the new part that was about $20. I felt that was reasonable but explained that I was leaving and that they needed to get the bill to me asap as I was going to be gone for an extended time out of the country. This was the third time I told them this. About a week and a half later I left without getting a bill. When I returned I found two bills from this company for the repair but was charged twice, once for each time they came out. I also got a bill from a collection agency for both times they came out. I called the company to find out what this was about. The new owner said they did not guarantee the work, since the second time it needed a part. He said he was sure I didn't want to pay for his person to just wait to see if it was fixed the first time, and just because they guessed wrong I had to pay for them to come out the second time. I asked why they sent this to a collection company since I explained they didn't get the bill to me before I left, having told them three times I was not going to be here for an extended time. He said the second bill stated I needed to call them within seven days from the receipt of the second bill or it would be sent to collection. I asked what does a guarantee mean to him and in essence it was that they would come out again and fix it but I had to pay for it. He said he would reduce the bill and take off 15 minutes of travel time but that I would have to pay both bills to the collection agency and he would send me a check for the 15 minutes because they would charge him to correct the bill and he didn't want to pay for that. I am still waiting for this check I paid the collection company because I didn't want to waist any more time on this. He never replied to my question about my informing him I was going away and out of contact. So, to sum it up, this is a new owner who bought the name and is not providing the good service of the former owner. Buyer beware.

Because of the power surge damage in the area, we had to wait approx. 1 week to be scheduled in, however we were able to temporarily redirect/reconnect our cable connection during that time, thanks to a Frontier Cable employee who initially identified the damage in the garage.

He does excellent rewiring in old homes. He is very courteous. They leave site in very good condition. I would highly recommend this company.

It was good. He actually ended up breaking up one of the glasses but they replaced it for us as quickly as they could and that was very nice because stuff breaks and they were very good about that. Then everything worked out just great. I paid an additional amount because it took longer than what the deal indicated and we needed some parts and materials.

Mike's Electric was a great provider. The thing that was most disconcerting was, I bought a special package from him and do I was a little bit surprised when I was charged double than what was advertised because what happened was that he needed to provide a second electrician to hold the ladder. You think that you're buying 2 hours worth of electrician for $99 but you end up paying double because they have to send out two electrician, one to hold the ladder and that was not made clear at all. I kind of felt that was a little bit of a rip off, bait and switch, that's what it felt like. It was just a hassle, a big hassle. They did great work and they ended up because I complained about it so much, they ended up discounting the work, meaning I paid the $99 and then I only paid half of the electrician. I said "I'm not paying a full time electrician for somebody to hold the ladder." I'll never use them again. The people were great and the did great work, it was just the bait and switch of the management.

It all went very smoothly. The electrician focused on the requirements of each task calmly and worked efficiently.

Overall it was a positive experience. I would highly recommend Mike's and I will use them in the future. There was an apprentice and a journeyman to do the work. They were friendly, punctual, and professional. They worked quickly and breezed through the work in about three hours. After they left something happened where I flipped a switch and the new lights did not come on (although they worked when the work was done) so I called to have them come back. They were back pretty quickly. The only thing that I would suggest is that they use walkie talkies to communicate when they are working on different floors. Sometimes one would say something and the other wouldn't hear. Just an idea. I know that we will have some more work in the future so they will be the first that I call.

We had a string of 12V lighting that was no longer working. Mike's Electric determined that the cause was a failed transformer in the attic that we were able to replace ourselves. We have a 1950's vintage house that included two ceiling lights that had become quite outdated. We provided the replacement lights. Both replacement lights required new supporting brackets. One light was replaced but the second was not because drywall work was required first. They provide new wood framing in the ceiling for the drywall work as part of the installation. We have plans for some additional remodeling and outdoor service. They were able to give us a critique of our current electrical service level as well as some ideas for the new projects. We obtained these services through an Angie's List discount coupon. Nice job. We would select them again.

Promptly advised they were not set up properly to provide any service work after installation. Theu no-bid the job in a very professional manner.

Very friendly and they explained things as they went.

"Above and Beyond" service from Darryl and Tom! When tenant called with an emergency problem at 5:00 PM on a Friday, service would normally have been scheduled for the following Tuesday. With a family of five that posed a problem and Tom agreed to come out to Hillsboro from Beaverton, after a full day of work, to handle the problem. He was knowledgeable and patient (to both owner and tenant!) in explaining the problem and solution. I discovered Mike's through Angie's List and I'll continue to rely on them. I truly felt I was given valued customer treatment.

Other than having to pay a permit fee for putting in an outlet, the service went well. They were on time. And efficient.

Mike Electrical arraived on time and I needed them to put my new fan in the bedroom. I had been doing an upgrade in the bedroom. They did a great job in 1 hour. They got up and it is a very quiet fan. They took the old fan so I didn't have to deal with that and box the new one came in. They were very respectful of my house. I would higly recommend them.

Purchased a Angie's List coupon for 2 hours of electrical work for $99. The company called the day before to confirm, and Donny arrived on time. He removed the heaters, capped off the wires and made sure the wiring was safe, cleaned up and even took away the old heaters so I don't have to try to figure out how to dispose of them. He did good work and was polite and professional. He also gave us a rough estimate to install some lighting. Update: A few days after the work was done, I received a bill for $84 -- $32 for materials and $52 for an additional 1/2 hour of labor. I was never told the hourly rate or given the option of having him stop after 2 hours. The last 20 minutes or so was spent cleaning up, which I could have done myself. I assumed that a company offering Angie's coupons is looking for new business and wanting to make a good impression and offer value to prospective customers -- I mistakenly assumed I wouldn't be charged if he went a little over the two hours. I suppose I should have kept track of exactly when he arrived and gone up to him at the two hour mark and asked what it would cost me to have him stay and clean up. So, I'm satisfied with the work that was done, but not too happy about the lack of communication and surprise bill.

Inspection was thorough. We had a problem with lights in chandelier not staying on. Technician found and fixed the problem while he was here for no additional charge.

They called before they showed up as they were earlier than stated. Came in and went to work. There were two electricians, they were very professional and nice. Answered any questions we had and did the work wonderfully and in a timely manner. Cleaned up so you couldn't even tell they were there. Great experience and will definitely use them again in the future. Really nice company to deal with.

I purchased 2 hours of labor on an Angie's list deal. I called and scheduled an appt. for an estimate. They arrived on time for the estimate. I was looking for some professional feedback on some lighting and wiring installation. The electrician that came did not provide too many options on lighting and tried steering me to what I think he was most comfortable with. I was looking to really get some bright lighting and coverage for my garage that only had 2 150W bulbs. I tried running some ideas past him and seeing what other options and coverage might work. He didn't come up with anything other than the basic thought that I had. Estimate: It was broken down into 3 work segments. 1 for the electrical outlets and breakers, 1 for a single light in the back, and 1 for the main lighting area. The overall estimate was way over what I wanted to spend. Maybe I am out of touch with with the pricing for electrical work, but it came it at 2K and I was providing the fixtures. As the main thing that I wanted done was the outlets and I had already purchased the labor that's the only part that I had done. Total cost for this was close to 600. Work: The other thing with either this deal or with Mike's is that they automatically send 2 people out and one of them is an apprentice and you don't have a choice. So you are paying for some training on their end. They arrived over 45 minutes late for the first job of the day with no call to let me know. Overall the work was good quality, but I wouldn't do this again.

Very friendly, knowledgeable estimator came out because we weren't sure how much difficulty the lathe & plaster walls in our 1950 home would present. They gave me an estimate in the form of a range, and the final number was on the lower end of the range. Loved that! Turns out the walls were wallboard with plaster finish on them, so the job went quicker than expected. One very professional, courteous, quiet workman did all the work. Completed in 4 hours or so. Neat, easy and everything works beautifully. Thanks, Mike's Electric!
