Never hire Square One. Initially our only problem was that they got into an argument with the inspector regarding electrical code related to grounding the entire system. Once that was resolved and inspector had signed off, we figured that the minor remaining issues could be fixed by my husband (an electrical engineer). Minor being a couple incorrectly wired light switches. However we found a major issue today in the process of moving a kitchen cabinet. Rather than properly rewire the kitchen outlets, we discovered that they had simply run the wire through the back of the cabinets. That means that none of it was done to code because all wire is required to go through studs. Code is there to prevent accidental cutting of wires which is exactly what happened while we were removing the cabinet. We strongly recommend that no one ever hire Square One.
Description of Work: Whole house rewiring.

We have used Square 1 several times and have always had a good experience.
Description of Work: We had an outlet rewired. The tech then discovered some dangerous wiring issues in another outlet and fixed that too.

Fine Square One gave my call to Clackamas Electric. Probably because there was someone who could take the problem quickly. The electrician arrived and checked to be sure there were no other problems than the one circuit. This was not the case, however. He replaced the burned out gfci and so it was all done so efficiently. The reason that I marked them down for price is that there was a $250 emergency service charge that no one mentioned to me. Evidently I would have had to wait a couple of weeks ordinarily and they had to call someone off an ongoing job to take the call. The actual price was $140 or so.
Description of Work: The gfi circuit in the bathroom started emitting smoke and popping spontaneously. Alarming to say the least.

Our estimate was great, quick and informative. We booked the appointment and got the work done quickly. Very pleased with how well they diagnosed our lighting fixture and were able to fix it, plus discovered the switch also needed fixing. Very pleased, we got estimates for more work that we will definitely hire them again for in the future.
Description of Work: Needed our over the range microwave put on its own breaker. Also had a light fixture in the kitchen not working properly.

They were good. He did a real good job, went straight to it, he explained what he did, he’d shown what he had done and he was great. I wish I could remember his name because he was really good. The guy who came out to do our stuff was really thorough, he was really clean. Everything is working so he obviously did a good job. He was real informative too about what he did and I like that. I think we got real good value for the dollar.
Description of Work: They installed a couple of time switches and fixed the electrical component in an attic fan.

I do not like giving bad reviews so I am going to be honest and not overly critical. We had the free estimate and initially really liked Jay. We sent the home inspection over prior and he reviewed it before arrival. Because he reviewed it, he didn't feel he needed to see a lot in person so did a quick look throughout the home to ensure it didn't need rewire (it didnt). We got the estimate and it was 2,000 higher than an estimate from a different local company for the same exact items to be fixed. My brother is an electrician in Pennsylvania and we sent him over Jay's report to ensure it sounded right. There were several things that were misrepresented such as telling us to upgrade our box to 200amps not telling us the cable can only handle 120 anyway (so the upgrade would be useless). I would've never known this had we not had another electrician look at which made us feel taken advantage of. We spoke to scheduling staff who was unorganized and hard to reach, we had to call 3x requesting a call from the electrician and didn't get a call back for days. They eventually gave us a weird excuse for their quote being 2,000 higher ensuring the other company wasn't going to do what they said. Overall felt dishonest and poorly managed. We went elsewhere, saved a lot of money, and had a better experience elsewhere.
Description of Work: We bought a new home that needs a ton of electrical work done. There was a lot of DIY work which is not to code and unsafe. The box was double tapped and unsafe. The attic had a nest of live wires and around the home had live wires exposed to elements.

Amazing! Holly, Jeff, James and Mike were awesome. Scheduling with Holly and estimate from Jeff were fast and easy. James and Mike came out to do the work. They were punctual, fast and did a great job. There was one little issue and James came back and had it fixed in 10 mins with in a few days. Love these guys!

I called on 7/27 at 1 p.m. and told a scheduler would call me back. I was called on 7/28; I missed the call but called back with in 40 minutes in early afternoon and the scheduler was unavailable so they took my name and number again. I called again on 7/29 but since it was a Saturday was told the scheduler wasn't working but would leave a message for her. I called again on 7/31 and was told the same thing. No one ever called me back. Apparently my job and business were not worth their time for a return call.
Description of Work: I was looking to get an appointment to have our ceiling fan fixed, or if need be, replaced (we had a replacement on hand).

It went fine. Beautiful installation. It could have been very difficult. He stuck with it. He was muttering under his mouth, well how the hell am I going to do that. He pulled it off. It was an beautiful installation. The price is a little high. They specialize in old homes. That is why it cost more. The first electrician said they wouldn't even touch it.
Description of Work: He hung an dining room light. The house is 100 years old, and has old nob and tubes in it. He had to go into the attic and remove the nob and tubs, and put correct current wiring to the light.

Square 1 is awesome. And they were fairly priced. I have used them before and would use them again in a heartbeat. He found the problem so quickly and was able to answer questions we had, so that we are more knowledgeable next time.
Description of Work: One of the circuits on our circuit breaker was out and we couldn't find the issue. It created outages in the kitchen and family room. So we called Square 1 and they were able to come within a short time that same day (7/11/17).

No one came out, no one called. I called 10 times and left 2 messages. No response. Very disappointed. The reviews look good, but they need help with answering the phone and scheduling. Someone should also call the day before to confirm. I am very disappointed
Description of Work: I called 3 weeks ago and had to wait a day for the scheduler. She was very nice and booked our appointment for today, August 11 at 8 am. This gave me time to order a fan on line. I got up early and drove 30 minutes to my mother-in-laws to wait for the appointment.

It went great! Mark and Jacob got here earlier than anticipated but they did call to say they were on the way (I like that). Listened to my sad tale of woe, checked several things (circuit box, the outlets and lights, etc). Identified and fixed the problems quickly. Seemed very thorough in their work, both were friendly and professional, and didn't mind answering my many questions or addressing my concerns. Was definitely a bright spot in my day! I'm a happy camper again!
Description of Work: I was having problems with 2 GFI outlets, the garbage disposal switch, 2 ceiling lights and the hood light/fan on the range. Had no idea what the problem could be other than no electricity was working with these items and neither GFI would reset.

An estimate was done. I called to accept the bid and was told that the scheduler would call. A week later, I called again. I was told again that scheduler would call. This time I added "last chance". The phone receptionist said "it's the best I can do ". I guess they don't need the business.

It went pretty well. The consult was scheduled right away and the wait for the actual work was only 3 weeks. So the timeframe and price beat out competitors. The guys were late every single day and were super messy. However some of that is to be expected. They finished up early, the new lights, fan and circuits are wonderful. They only left 2 holes even though they had estimated 16. However all of the outlets now have holes from where the walls got shredded down from the wire pulling. And some thing did not need replaced like my new fire alarms we put in a month before and most of the wiring in the kitchen. I did not get a credit for those items. But then, they also put in new timer switches for the bathroom fan which was not included in the price and they set up additional wires for future improvements- also not included in price. Overall, I was happy with the price and the speed of work. I was not happy with paying for things not performed and their lateness every day. I would hire them again. All that said, they beat out the price of competitors by about $1500
