the electrician was very nice and knowledgeable about his trade. he gave me some good advice and did the best that he could with what he had to work with (my electrical wiring in this house is all messed up!). he went out of his way to let me know at all times what he had found and how he intended to fix it. he gave me a detailed briefing at the end of the job as to all the steps he had taken to alleviate my electrical problems. nice guy as well.

Ordered wrong coupon for replacement of ceiling fan, rather than installation of ceiling fan. Discussed with vendor. Will wait to do work. Please refund 99$ payment. I am very pleased with the time and attention I got from Square1electric. I plan to use them in the future.

Ray found the problem was with the light fixture and replaced it. Since I was busy he even went to Home Depot and bought the light. Cost was the 1 hour plus the price of the light minus the $25 discount from Angie's list.
Description of Work: Replaced a light that had been burning out lightbulbs about once a month and finally started tripping the circuit breaker.

Ray was very knowledgeable, did not complain about being in the nasty attic and worked at a good pace with purpose. I will recommend him to all my friends and clients. The girl that booked the appointment was very good. Knew enough about her business to book the right talent for the job. Square 1 was real pleasure to work with.

We were informed by the electric company that we had to replace one of our meter boxes (at our expense). We had used Square 1 before (they put in an in-wall heater a few years back) and they were great. From the call center/appointment scheduler to the electrician they sent out, it was a good experience. We did call around to get some quotes but Square 1 was in the same ballpark and since we had used them before, we stuck with them. They came out, did the work at the time they said they were going to and didn't make a mess. And they didn't try to charge us any more for what they were doing or "find" anything else that needed to be fixed.
Description of Work: Replaced a meter box on the outside of our house.

He arrived on time and kept me updated through the process. He prepped the ceiling area for the installation then installed it. He was friendly and professional and when he was done he showed me how it worked. He also repainted the area. I am very happy with his high level of knowledge about the fan and professionalism. I would highly recommend Square 1 Electric.

I had been looking for a electrical company to rewire my home for months and months and finally found one that was honest, was priced right and did not talk to me like I was a stupid. Kurt the owner was great. He spent a lot of time walking through the house with me and explaining exactly how it was going to go. He listened to all of my concerns. , Along the way,there were a few small problems, but Kurt the owner was always available by phone or in person to get things straightened out. The guys that did the work were wonderful!! They all very nice and polite They always answered my questions. They did a great job.
Description of Work: Home built 1911. Removed all knob and tube wiring and rewired home. Wired and installed new 200 amp electrical panel. Installed electrically wired smoke detectors upstairs bedrooms and hall. Added 5 new outlets inside, 2 outdoor outlets.. New power to Jacuzzi tub in bathroom. Put up 2 new ceiling fixtures in the kitchen and 2 downstairs.

The installation of the light post went smoothly from the initial contact to the completion of the work. I contacted two other electrical contractors. One of them was excellent but the price was higher than I anticipated and the suggested placement of the light post was in a less preferable location. The second contractor was receptive at first but then did not follow-up with return phone calls. The contact person kept reassuring me that the electrician would return my calls so I kept patiently waiting calling back several times. After several weeks I decided not to use this company which was Badger Electric. I had used them before so this was a disappointment. Square One was responsive from the beginning contact phone call. The contact person, Holly, was very responsive and returned calls promptly. Her follow-through was excellent. The electrical work was completed in a timely manner and all follow up work was completed promptly which included the city inspection and the refilling of the trench and clean up of the area.
Description of Work: Installed exterior post light which included wiring to outside electrical piping. Installed underground piping and installed outdoor rated box for the post light; installed post & concrete in place and installed light lantern to post. The price included trenching and refilling of the trench. Square One contacted the city of Portland and the next day the inspector approved the electrical work.

I had bought a Big Deal coupon for Replacement Installation of Ceiling Fan or Light Fixture (Labor ONLY) for $99 but I wanted to replace a light fixture with a ceiling fan so I ended up not being able to us it. Holly contacted me and explained that the deal is for replacing a ceiling fan with another ceiling fan or a light fixture with another light fixture. Holly did a great job explaining to me what is involved with replacing a light fixture with a ceiling fan.

Ray was great! Explained everything he was doing and was informative about the process. He also gave us some advice on our order of operations as we're building a new entryway to the kitchen. He roughed in all of the electrical and capped it all off, letting us know that the finished project would look best if he finished everything off once we were done sheet-rocking and painting. He also noticed that the thermostat needed to move to the other side of the wall since we moved a heat duct fairly close, which would throw off our heating. These are things I didn't expect help with, but am so glad that Ray pointed out. Definitely made the overall project better, and he went above and beyond our expectations! When the inspector heard that Square1 was doing the work, he basically gave it a quick once-over and then took off, giving it his stamp of approval. Looked like he was familiar with the quality of their work and trusted them too!
Description of Work: I'm doing a remodel in my kitchen (an old, old kitchen) that needed to be completely (re)wired. We installed multiple new outlets on a new breaker, moved the thermostat, rewired a kitchen light and a couple other things. I used the 1/2 day deal which knocked out most of the work, but we needed a few additional hours to finish up. The cost I listed includes the inspection fee (which was a little higher due to the scope of work).

It was good. There were a couple of issues where they had to come out. But they had no problem coming out and looking at our issues. They ended up not charging extra for that. They looked at our paneling and suggested what to upgrade and what not to upgrade. So that was good.

I felt completely ripped off by the $200 charge to replace an outlet. They were rated all "A"s on Angie's List. I don't know who thinks that $200 is a good deal on an outlet but I sure don't. That's too much. You and I could repair it ourselves over the weekend. The guy charged me $200, he was here for less than 15 minutes. He did not check any of the other circuits in the house. He did not do anything. He changed it and he left. Part of the $200 was a $30 permit. The permit was not actually required as I later found out. I was charged for a permit that was not needed. Other than that, everything was great. The guy was great, showed up on time, did his job. Gouged me.

While I was out buying supplies the electrician decided the dishwasher wasn't wired properly and pulled it out, put in a new outlet, put it back in. He spent a lot of time on something I didn't authorize and did not put the hoses back properly. If I had run the dishwasher that night I would have flooded the wall. As it was my sink drained into the cabinet and kitchen floor. Also, I cannot close the dw door without pushing on a piece of the cabinet frame which he dislodged when he pulled it out. The company offered to send the same man out to fix it but we didn't want the same person. We had lost confidence in his work. They were very nice people and this probably was an aberration, but some of the work I wanted done did not get finished.
Description of Work: Upgrade outlets, check box, see why lights in garage didn't work, etc.
