Skip Billet was so responsive, nice & easy to work with. Additionally he did not mind wearing a mask to complete our project, due to a family member with medical issues. Would call again and do recommend him

Skip was extremely easy to work with from the beginning. He returns phone calls within the same day, and shows up exactly when he says he is going to be there. My chandelier was missing a piece, and he took the time to research several places to buy it so he could finish the job that day. He is a master at what he does; and leaves a spotless home when he leaves. Not only is he great as what he does, he is extremely personable. He also brings his dad with him..and his dad is delightful. I'd hire them back in a heartbeat!

Skip's communications where very prompt. He was on time both to see the projects to write the estimate as well as the day the work was to be completed. We received the estimate in a very timely fashion. Even with me bugging them and offering them coffee Skip still completed all work in a very timely fashion. And when they left all rooms they worked in where left neat and tidy. Skip will be my go to electrician for any future electrical projects and to that end I have his number programmed into my cell phone. I highly recommend!
Description of Work: Replaced two builder grade bathroom vent fan/light combination with high efficiency quiet units, a ceiling fan in a two story family room, a chandelier in a two story foyer and a three way dumb switch with a three way smart switch. We provided the items for replacement.

Our house sits at the top of a rise and was built in the 1970's. A 4x4 rises 6-feet above the roof's peek so that trucks don't rip the wires from our house. The top of the mast was starting to rot. We were concerned the original anchor would pull-out and thought we'd need to replace those whole mast. We called Skip after reading recommendations on Yelp and Angie's List. He made an appointment to review the work. He called before the appointed time to say he was running late and then arrive at the new time. Skip found the mast was solid except for the top 4-inches. That was good news. We wouldn't need to replace the mast. We agreed on a price and scheduled a time for the work. Skip arrived on time, completed the work, and cleaned-up. The next day was the ice, sleet, and snow storm. Although large icicles hung from those electrical wires, they held fast. We are very happy with the results.
Description of Work: • Installed new clevis (anchor) to mast (on house) • Moved Met-Ed drop to new clevis

Skip stopped by to take a careful look at the job and prepare his detailed parts list. He kept in touch as the weather interfered with the schedule for the actual work. He made certain that everything was going as planned, and took care to place the new outlets and panel exactly where we wanted them. The work proceeded quickly and neatly, once the weather cooperated. Skip is responsive, friendly, and competent, and we are pleased with the results of his work. We also enjoyed meeting his helper, who is also his Dad, Fritz. A great family business!
Description of Work: Installed panel on elevated deck and hooked up new Nordic hot tub. Also installed two weather-proof duplex outlets on the deck and removed an existing outlet that was too close to the hot tub.

Once estimate was given, I placed numerous phone calls and e-mails to schedule service. He only returned calls late at night (between 830 and 11 pm) which made me very uncomfortable. After continuously trying to schedule for a few more weeks, I gave up and tok my business elsewhere.
Description of Work: I initially contacted provider in June for estimate. After months of phone tag, came out in September to provided estimate.

Response from Skip Billet Electric
In response to this very negative review I would like to make a few points. If a potential client were to look at my past reviews they would see that any negative comments were regarding jobs that a I wasn't hired to complete. Any jobs that I have been hired to work on have received very good reviews. Now, regarding the discussion of phone tag and emails: She missed my calls and did not return at a reasonable time and same on my end. Also phone calls late in the evening are due to the fact that I'm self-employed and perform all aspects of my business solely on my own. However, I do not call after 10pm and ALWAYS apologize if the call is between 9pm and 10pm. If a potential client is uncomfortable taking a phone in the evening they have the option not to answer or they can request a call during daytime hours. Thank you, Skip Billet

I called Skip mainly because the way the builder of my home had wired my outside receptacles, when water would get into the receptacle, it would throw the circuit breaker and shut off the freezer in my basement. I didn't figure out what was happening until I realized that my freezer had been without power for more than a whole day. Skip was able to figure out what was causing the problem and reconfigured some circuits so that I wouldn't have this problem in the future, particularly because if it would have happened while I was away on vacation, all the food in my freezer could have spoiled. While he was there I also had him do some other minor electrical repairs and move a dimmer switch. Skip responds promptly and quickly gets the problems solved for a reasonable price. He's also very personable and nice to deal with.
Description of Work: I contacted Skip as I had previously used him to install some fans in my house. I had a number of small electrical things that needed doing. I wanted a 3-way light switch relocated and several receptacles installed in my basement. Also, there were problems with the way the builder had put in several circuit breakers and ground-fault interrupter receptacles.

Since Skip Billett did not call us with an estimate, we went with another provider (Henry's electric) who we were very happy with.
Description of Work: We called Skip Billett for an estimate on fixing the electrical meter which was falling away from our house. We left a message which he did returned. He was very friendly n the phone, took all of the pertinent information and said he would stop by to check out the problem, then call us with an estimate. This was the last we heard from him. Our second phone call to him about a week and a half later was never returned. If he did not want the job he should have stated that up front.

Response from Skip Billet Electric
This situation was a mistake I made. As a small business owner I got caught up with making sure everyone in my schedule was happy and taken care of. Time got away from me. This was not an emergency situation. I do everything in the business myself and missed getting back to Miss [Member name] in a respectful amount of time. My mistake.

Skip and his Dad were very friendly and easy to work with. They were prompt and the work was done quickly. It was a small job, but I needed it done sooner than later since I was selling my house. They are trustworthy and dependable. I will definitely call them again!

We contacted Skip Billet after the first electrician failed to call and set up an appointment to do the work. Mr Billet came to our home and gave us a verbal estimate. He said that he would call with a formal estimate and to set up a time to do the work. It took him longer to call us back to confirm the estimate. Waited at least several days. However, Mr. Billet arrived as scheduled. He did excellent work. . He performed the service for the quoted price (which was a little cheaper than the first electrician quoted us). He is a very friendly man. I would call Skip Billet again if I need any more electrical work in the future.
Description of Work: Installed new electric clothes dryer in 1st floor laundry room. Installed a 220 electric line from circuit breaker box into 1st floor laundry room & connected to dryer.

Skip originally came out a year ago to address an electrical problem that ended up being a tripped switch. We discussed other work we wanted done but just recently got around to doing it. We called Skip back and within the week our new lights were installed. Excellent work, delightful man, very professional. Will definitely use Skip's services in the near future.

He is an excellent communicator and very efficient at his work. The job involved going into the attic because he had to cut a hole in the ceiling since there had never been a ceiling light or fan in that room. It took a little over two hours to complete. He also changed the wiring for the tv so that the light switch does not turn it off. I highly recommend him and would not hesitate to use him again.

I called Skip and asked about the service. He came out a couple days later to look at the house. a couple days after that he called and quoted a price and 3 days later he performed the job. Skip showed up right on time and started working. Although I told him I would not need him to terminate the cable ends on the phone, when he showed up I asked him to do it. He agreed and he installed a patch plate in the room and terminated the RJ45 ends in the basement so I could connect to my switch. He also installed an electrical outlet for me as part of our agreement. Everything was done in a few hours and everything works great. I will definitely use him again!!
Description of Work: I needed 3 Cat5e cables run from the left side basement to the right side first floor. I also needed a new electrical outlet and a cable TV coax re-routed.

Mr. Billet arrived at the time agreed upon. He was very careful to make sure he had the location correct for the additional outlet we requested. He did a very neat job of making the hole for the outlet. He ran the wire from our electrical box to the outlet. He cleaned up the bit of dust from his work. He tested the outlet to make sure it worked properly. All I had to do was plug in my appliance. I will definitely call Mr. Billet when we need electrical work. We have already discussed a job we would like done in the Spring.
