Jarmer was too busy to do it, and I wound up hiring another electrical firm out of Vancouver Wa, who was a disaster in every way. It even took them 3 or 4 attempts to pass the inspection. But that wasn't Jarmer's fault. They were too busy to handle our work and hey, it happens. They have been reliable and responsive with quality workmanship. Within the realm of electrical contractors their prices are fair and reasonable. So when they were too busy for me, why am I writing them a good review?
Description of Work: Jarmer has been a "go to" provider for several apartment complexes for several years. Last year I called them about re-wiring our underground lighting during the major renovation at the Boston House Apartments in SW Portland.

They did what they were supposed to do. They were very nice and friendly. I loved that they sent a female for the work. They are very responsive and courteous. They ask exactly what you want and do a good job.
Description of Work: We got a new water heater and Jarmer Electric got rid of the old wiring. They turned an old power wire into an outlet.

They were referred to us and we even looked them up on Angie’s list. They did a good job. There was one guy who was quick. They took a day and half to finish all the electrical work in the attic. We had planned where we wanted the lights and he kind of explained to my husband that we did not need that many outlets. He was very helpful in terms of telling where the best place was to put the lighting. He was neither the cheapest nor the most expensive.
Description of Work: I used Jarmer Electric last year for some electrical work.

I spoke with Tim Jarmer on the phone, explaining that this was a small job and asking if his company would be willing to take on a small job - as some companies are not. He was very obliging, telling me that Jarmer is happy to do both large and small jobs. He even gave me tips on how I could save money on future projects, as electrical work can be very expensive. The woman who did the installation was great. I wish I could remember her name. She arrived a few minutes early and did the job in the time frame that had been given to me, so I had no unexpected costs. Without hesitation, I will call Jarmer again for my next project.
Description of Work: Ceiling fan installation: removal of old light fixture, assemble, wire, and install new ceiling fan.
