Donald Miller's Electrical Services LLC

Donald Millers Electric Services removed and replaced the knob and tube wiring in my house. They did an excellent job. In addition to doing great electrical work, they were very careful about protecting furniture, floors, and the house in general. Also, they did a great job of patching walls. They really went the extra mile in making recommendations and communicating with me. I couldn't be happier with their work and would highly recommend them.

I used Donald Millers Electrical Services to do a Knob and Tube remediation on an 1892 stone home. I also got a lot of other work done with other contractors (painting, hardwood refinishing, plumbing, roofing, etc), and I can confidently say that Don and his crew (Morgan was the lead on our job) stand far and above all other contractors we worked with. They operate with integrity and care for the home, as if it were there own. The entire house was protected with ram board and plastic wrap, with light fixtures and other removable items taken down and moved to the basement. Nothing was broken and we didn't observe any damage done to anything. They showed up on time and worked diligently every day that they said they would, never leaving a mess behind. No food containers or wrappers laying around, as we unfortunately saw with some other contractors. And definitely no construction debris laying around because they used a shop vac to clean up the dust from the plaster as they were cutting holes. When I had questions, they were always happy to explain what they were doing and why. They were the only electrician that quoted both electrical AND plaster repair. Most of the other electricians said they would slap some drywall in the holes, but we wanted to maintain the structural integrity of the home and so plaster was a better choice. And not just that, but some of the plaster was textured -- they spent days trying to perfect the technique to match the exact texture our plaster walls had (both from the original plaster job + 130 years of paint jobs after the original!). Additionally, we took this opportunity to add lighting to every room and hallway. Given it was an 1892 house, most rooms were incredibly dark and adding lighting really breathed new life into this old house! And when I had follow up questions or concerns, even after 100% payment, Don and Morgan were always responsive to my questions. If you are getting any job done, but especially a massive Knob and Tube remediation job done, make the easy choice and go with them.

Very happy with the service. Everything was done as planned. Cost was well under any competitors and worked with us to stay within our budget. Safety updates were suggested by the electrician. House was completely cleaned once the re-wiring was complete with "green, safe" cleaning products. Everything was finished on time.

Don was great to work with from the first time I met him for the estimate. His estimate was very fair and he started the job on time as discussed. He did the work while allowing four adults to live on the house. Every night he and his crewed cleaned the worksite so that we would be comfortable. Don is very knowledgable about knob and tube work. He had a great system and approached the job in an organized manner. He and Rob were nice guys and it was easy to trust them all day in my home. He finished all the work within the timeline promised. The job site was always clean and my hardwood floors well protected. I was amazed at the minimal number of holes that were required in the walls and ceilings. All the holes were professionally patched and ready for paint. We had a great experience and the electrical inspection from the borough passed right away. Don and his crew are nice honest people who also know what they're doing.

When I saw water dripping from the ground line coming out of the basement service box I called Don on the basis of his Angies List review and two neighbors' enthusiastic recommendations. Was able to schedule him right away. Don's visual inspection of the outside meter socket revealed a hazardous situation involving arcing current and melting wire. Outside work needed to be halted until PECO could arrive and repair their equipment. We called at 11 am; PECO 's last of of three different crews finished their work around midnight. Don had a master electrician on-site the whole time. He worked with PECO to finish the work. Don came out a couple days later (on a Saturday) to inspect the work and label the circuits (his wife gave birth in the middle of all of this). I now have (what I didn't have before) a properly grounded, waterproofed, high quality 200 amp service panel and meter socket, professionally installed. Don and the three other members of his team were outstanding in their seriousness of purpose, professionalism and unwavering dedication to my problem. Given the overtime involved and hazardous situation he could have really jammed me on the price, but he didn't. By the way, if you have "knob and tube" wiring I understand he is one of a very, very small number of pros who has the expertise and willingness to do the remediation. He's a good man to do business with.

He is very responsive.

His prices seemed to be fair. We usually knew exactly how much he paid for the materials and then it was just the time he spent on it. He also had to drive a distance to get here, which he does not charge us for. He's pragmatic about what he does. If he feels like we should have the top of the line for the materials then that's what he gets for us and when he had to change all the outlets in the house it was just what he could get at Home Depot, which was perfectly adequate. I felt his selection of materials was very thoughtful.
