I thought the price was exceptionally good for what he did. I absolutely loved working with him, as he put my ideas on paper, and talked through what he thought would work best. His crew was incredible, really nice and nice. They kept everything clean while they were working, and they were punctual. I had to replace the ceiling in the living room, and so he brought in a dry waller that he works with, all the time, and the drywaller was excellent as well. Everything that they did was first class. I am waiting until I can get enough money saved, so that I can get the upstairs bathroom done, and more electric work done there. I will call them for it.
Description of Work: We used All-Ways Electric LLC. He provided all new recessed lighting in the living room, he provided wiring for the speakers, he put in all new outlets, and everything was made dimable. He removed fluorescent lighting boxes in the kitchen, and did a tray ceiling, and put recessed lighting there as well. He added new a programmable fan and lighting in the bathroom.

We're in the process of getting our attic insulated and putting in electric before the insulation was in seemed sensible. Also we needed some wiring issues addressed for some new kitchen appliances (dishwasher and refirgerator). We called Nathan from All-Ways and he was able to come out within a day, assess the situation, and have a crew in place the next day. Rich and Sebastian were the two electricians who worked on our job and they were fantastic. Super nice, super knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile to get the job done really well. In the course of the job, several challenges were discovered, but Rich and Sebastian handled everything with aplomb and skill. They were great at communicating the changing scope of work (and Nathan was great about staying in touch about how the changes were going to affect the price), and they took great pains to make sure everything was perfect. It was a real pleasure to work with them and I look forward to hiring them again for future electrical work in the house.
Description of Work: Installed new circuits, installed new outlets, ran wiring up to attic and put in new outlets in attic, rewired stuff that had been done incorrectly by previous homeowner

It took several visits to learn what the house had to offer, but in the end the majority of work was done in 1.5 days (maybe 7 hours total).
Description of Work: Having just moved into a 1920's home, we wanted to add some more outlets and improve the lighting in the finished basement. Nathan and his team were very helpful in talking through some options, quoting a first set and then adjusting as we learned what was practical in the house. Upstairs, they added some outlets, a new closet light with switch, and swapped out a second closet light for a new one. In the basement, a dimmer and CFLs were swapped for the old incandecents. The house has lath and plaster, older wiring, and a very tight attic, making the job tricky. They were able to run the new lines and outlets with barely a scratch to any wall.

After moving into a turn of the century house, I was concerned about fire hazards from the outdated wiring. I also wanted to add more charm by switching out the boring modern light fixtures with authentic vintage pieces. I needed an electrician whom I could trust to update the wiring properly. I also needed someone with the appreciation and patience required when working with vintage/salvaged materials. Nathan came to inspect the house and carefully went through every nook and cranny looking for hazards. By the end of the inspection he knew exactly what needed to be tackled. He wasn't fazed by the light fixtures I showed him which I had collected from Hippo Hardware and the Rebuilding Center. Many required a fair bit of ingenuity to hang properly. He was up for the challenge and we scheduled the job. I would never have thought that someone could be "talented" at electrical work. But, Nathan proved himself to be just that. He worked efficiently and carefully. When he would check in and explain the work he was doing, he came across as extremely intelligent. This guy had the entire houses wiring system mapped out in his head! Once all of the new Romex was in, the next challenge was installing the light fixtures. He was very patient and helpful when it came to deciding exactly where to hang them all, going as far as holding up the same chandelier in every room so I could see how it would look. Within a few days, the entire job was done and looked great. Throughout it all Nathan showed up on time, cleaned up and always kept a good attitude. He literally "whistles while he works". If you value having a trustworthy,friendly and skillful person work in your home, then I would highly recommend this electrician.
Description of Work: Preformed a full safety inspection of the entire electrical system. Pulled out old Knob and Tube wiring in basement, attic and crawl spaces, replaced with Romex. Added Junction Boxes to contain open splices and grounded all of the outlets. Replaced two kitchen light fixtures, hand assembled from salvaged antique parts. Installed 2 vintage chandeliers. Replaced three sconces and installed a dimmer switch. Installed 4 new outlets and one new light fixture with switch.
