I apologize; however, we did not receive any phone calls or phone messages from this gentleman. This Person has the wrong Electrician. The Economy is suffering enough, why would this person post Negative Information regarding a LOCAL Business? Are you trying to make Companies go out of business? NOT TO MENTION, YOU HAVE THE WRONG ELECTRICAL COMPANY. We would respectfully request this entire review be removed because we have never serviced this person or received any phone calls or messages. May Electric RETURNS ALL PHONE CALLS. Thank you.

Description of Work: I do not remember what the cost was as I the bill was delivered to our Treasurer of the Hilton Head Island Computer Club. We have a light switch that is movement sensitive and timed to go off after a time of no movement. | |We had a power failure and the switch would shut off after only a few minutes. | |Santiago of Randy May Electric came promptly and repaired/reset the timing mechanism and gave me instructions on how to reset in the future. | |I would recommend Randy May Electric to anyone needing an electrician's services. I will be needing some work done in my own home within the next few months and would call Randy May Electric to do the work. |

See the above.
Description of Work: I have used Randy May Electric for most of my electrical repair and remodeling needs. I have experience with electricians who are cheaper and when all is said and done were substandard. It is true that you get what you pay for. I used Randy May for a remodeling project in 2005 where 1 bath, and family room were remodeled and 1 bath was added. I have used them ever since for any repairs or changes that I make. Professional, clean and know what they are doing. Their electrician named Lou is the best! No hesitation to recommend to anyone.
