Mike's Electric

It went FANTASTIC! I called Mike's Electric at about 10:30am with my issue and they were able to get someone out to the house by 1:30pm that afternoon. The two gentlemen that showed up listened to what I had found, what I had tried to do, and what the issue was. They then went to work checking outlets and running down the root cause. It ended up that an inspector had tripped a GFI circuit and NOT reset it. The only bad news was that the circuit that was tripped was to our freezer in the garage so all of our meet and frozen goods had gone bad. The men that did the work were fast, courteous, professional, and very conscious of their movements to make sure they didn't leave any dirt or parts after they were done. Overall the peace of mind was worth the call - let alone the work they did and the speed at which they worked was great.

The electrician gave me a lot of good information in order to make the right choice for what I needed and did a good job. Cleaned up when the job was done

Two electricians arrive just before the scheduled appointment time. Aaron and his partner were professional, friendly and efficient. They identified both known and unknown electrical issues during the inspection. They provided a complete job bid with each task itemized and priced. I would recommend them again.

The electrician from Mike's electric showed up on time and completed the work in a professional and timely manner. He was great about explaining how the installation would be completed and answered all of our questions. We were very pleased with the outcomes.

Arrived early and worked long hours. Took longer than estimated, partly due to complexity of hanging light fixtures, so okay with me. Also added tasks beyond the estimate, including showing me how to remove and replace plugs. Enjoyable to work with.

I put my house on the market in March of this year. Previous to that I had Mike's come in and rewire four and a half rooms. They ended up replacing the panel due to unforeseen problems with the existing one. All the work was permitted and it passed the city inspection. But when the buyer sent over a home inspector, he found more wiring problems. Since these were issues Mike's had not addressed in their original work at my house, I called them up and asked them to fix what was still wrong. It took two people 6-1/4 hours to complete the work. They never had the city out to inspect the work. During the next home inspection, the wiring again failed to meet standards especially where I had told them to focus their efforts. Bummer!

As usual, the electricians showed up on time and got right to work. They determined that much of the wiring in our problem area was not done in a professional or standard manner. The extent of the bad wiring job was significant, but they were able to complete this unexpected work as well as make all the switch fixes/changes in a couple hours. We've never had anything but the best experience using Mike's Electric, and this was no exception. We like them so much we still call them to do our work even though we've moved 30 miles further away from their shop.

It was replaced with a new one.

Great! The electrician was efficient, polite and completed the work perfectly.

They are already on Angie's List. It's ongoing and they charge hourly but I haven't really kept track of it

very good, experiience, called them and they made the appointment with the tenant and took care of everything.

Everything went like clock work. I called and explained the problem. They arrived at the time agreed. They brought along a replacement pole. They set up a tarp to prevent damage to the lawn. They removed the old pole anchor. This took a long time due to anchor being cemented. After that they installed the pole and the light fixture. Everything was handled in a very professional manner and made the process very easy.

The service call went great. He showed up on time, actually early, and was extremely efficient. The plug was replaced and the water feature was working again. Then he knew I had more time left on my deal, so he asked if I needed anything else done. How great is that?! I will definitely use them again and recommend them too.

Great workers, very knowledgeable and fast.....

Tom and another man arrived at the appointed time. They were both very pleasant. I told them what I needed and showed them where to install the outlet. They did the work quickly, then showed me the features of the piece they had installed. The only negative about the experience was a bill I received a few days later for materials, which was higher than I expected.

He arrived on time, did the work requested. He was efficient and friendly and left the place as he found it. He did a great job!!

Mike's Electric did a very good job however the bill came in much higher than I had anticipated. I would use them again however I would get a firm bid to begin with and hold them to it. They are excellent, and they did the work while I was not at home, the installers were asking my son questions but he is not the one paying the bills so I guess it was just a misunderstanding.They are the first ones that I have ever had that I haven't been satisfied with overall.

I bought the 2 hour labor coupon and several weeks later contacted the company for service. I mentioned the projects I had in mind and because one was outdoor low voltage lighting the company sent an estimator for that project. Recontacted company to set up the appointment to have 4 projects done, including installation of a low voltage transformer for the low voltage lights (to be installed at a later date). All went well in that the electrician arrived on time and accomplished all tasks within the 2 hours (including travel). Cheers.

So impressed! Last year this company came and added multiple outlets to a room. At the time I was happy with their work, but even more impressed recently. An outlet box came out of the wall a few months ago and when we contacted Mike's Electric, they came back and did a very nice job re-installing it. The electrician was extremely polite and apologetic that it happened and was very thorough in securing it again. We were not charged at all. I have recommended this company to others! Finally and electrician I feel like I can recommend!!

Guys showed up exactly on time, set about the tasks immediately and finished in the minimum time. Made it look easy. We will definitely have them back to move the ceiling light and install a ceiling fan after we get settled.

Excellent work. Have used Mike's Electric before. What was really great was that I had to leave town the day of the scheduled work. There was nobody home to give them access to the house. Because I trust them based on prior experience, I gave them the security code to the garage. They completed the work in under two hours, and mailed me an invoice. Everything was completed to plan.

This service went well. They were professional and punctual.

The inspection was thorough. A request for work estimates to take care of the issues found was received in a few days.

Doug McCauley came out to give an estimate only a few days after our phone call. He spent a good amount of time looking carefully at our situation, explained clearly what needed to be done given the age of the house and told us that most of the outlets on the main floor were already grounded so work there would be less difficult. Although the estimate was considerably higher than that of another company, we decided to go with Mike's. They seemed to us to be so much better organized than the other company that we felt we could fully trust them. Indeed, the two young, exceptionally pleasant electricians who did the work knew exactly what they were doing. It was not an easy job since additional wire had to be brought up from the basement to the attic and into the designated rooms , all according to new city code. We were completely satisfied with the great job they did. We will look to them for our future electrical needs.

WARNING: THE COMPANY ASSERTS THEY GIVE YOU AN 'ESTIMATE" AND THEN BILLED ON LABOR AND MATERIALS- A $2,000.00 DIFFERENCE!!!. We received a bid amount from Mike's for rewiring the electrical in our garage and some work in the basement. The estimates apparently were lower than ithe time it took the electricians to complete the work based on whatever their hourly charge is, so we received a bill based on time and materials that was $2,000.00 more than the bid. They double billed amounts, we have a work bench area where they put in new lights and cut off all outlets (I will have to get a different electrician to come repair that). I paid the bill based on the bid. They continue to assert that they want another $2,000.00. HIRE THIS COMPANY AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!!! We first met representatives of Mike's Electric when we responded to the $89.00 special to inspect our home for electrical issues. We paid on Angie's list and they thereafter come out for the inspection. I met with Doug and he gave me a letter dated 2/16/13 outlining the proposed work with specific amounts for different units. In the notes section, it says: "This is an estimate for budgeting purposes. Cost could vary due to unseen foreseen variables." We accepted the bid and advised Doug of that. The final billing statement listed additional work that was done and itemized the costs for those items as I had discussed with Doug. I paid a total amount of $4,360.31 based on those bids amounts discussed with me. Some of the items, such as a new receptable for the washer ($250.00) were done without anyone's approval. Doug said the City of Portland Inspector would require that. He didn't though; he never even went to the basement. In sum, I paid for ALL WORK done based on the bids provided by Doug either in his initial letter of February 16 or his Invoice of March 6. When I compared the two statements, however, I noted that (a) some items were double billed, and (b) work that had been cancelled was not credited. So in a very lengthy letter of April 1 (when I paid the bill), I detailed those items. Correspondence continued. The company continued to threaten to lien the property so I paid the additional sum of $2,158.00 that Mike's Electric demanded - under protest of course- in order to avoid a lien being filed on the property. Then I requested medication of the matter in order to recover the $2,158.00.
