We recently had our bathroom remodeled and almost immediatly experienced some strange flickering of lights and ceiling fan not working. MES was able to come out within 24 hours of our call, diagnose and repair the problem caused by the other contractor. Apparantly we had a number of loose wires causing the issue I would recommend MES without hesitation and

MES came out to fix a stupid mistake on my part, but did not make an issue of it, he promptly fixed some other problems I had with arcing switches. He made an extra effort to come out that day even with a busy schedule. He worked quickly and price was fair. I will definitely use him for other projects.

Mike was very professional but very down to earth. He came over to give an estimate and viewed all the work to be done. He told me his hourly rate and a time range he believed it would take to complete the job. We scheduled a date for the service, and he showed up on time, with an extra person, which was included in the price he quoted to me. He did an exceptional job on the installation of the ceiling fans and made sure he pointed out to me any issues he experienced that might affect my satisfaction. For instance, the box in the ceiling for one of the fans was not flush (a construction issue - nothing to do with Mike's work), so there was a slight gap between the fan and the ceiling. I didn't even think it was noticeable, but he made it a point to make sure I knew about it. Long story short, the fans work perfectly and the service Mike provided was excellent. I will definitely use him again for any future electrical needs. He completed the job in the minimum amount of time he originally quoted, so the price was on the low-end of the range, which was a bonus. I would highly recommend Mike for any electrical work. He is an honest person who knows what he is doing.
Description of Work: I had four ceiling fans installed and an overhead light tested/fixed.

I previously had called another company and they scheduled an appointment for 9am - 12noon (with a $99 dollar service charge just to come to my house). That company NEVER showed and NEVER called to say they weren't coming. That day, I got on Angie's List and saw the wonderful reviews for Miscellaneous Electrical Services and decided to give him a call and see if he could come and take a look at my light switch. He said he was very busy, but would try to squeeze me in between his other scheduled appointments. I was surprised when he showed up and so happy he did! He looked at my kitchen light switch (which was giving off a funny "buzzing" noise) and said he probably needed to replace the actual switch. He looked more into the receptacle and saw the insulation wrapped around the wiring was starting to corrode (I live in a 1950's home), so he sheathed the wiring to protect it more. He noticed my tile was brought down far enough to properly support my switch, so he placed a spacer to further help support the switch. Not only did he fix the switch, I feel like he went above and beyond. He rescued me, when that other company left me out to dry! I will continue to give my business to Miscellaneous Electrical Services. Thanks Mike!

Everything went according to plan, except that the whole receptacle box for the sprinkler control unit was found to be dangerously corroded and had to be closed off. Mike was very courteous and professional throughout and we will definitely call him the next time we have a problem.
Description of Work: At Mike's initial visit to give us an estimate he reset some breakers, restoring power to some of the receptacles in the house. At his second visit, half a dozen rusty spotlight fixtures in the den were replaced with more energy efficient LED fixtures. Several corroded outdoor receptacles were replaced and brought up to code. Original wiring was from 1959! Two outdoor receptacles too badly corroded were closed off. Burned out outdoor spotlight bulbs were replaced. Mike even spent a couple of minutes installing the Comcast digital converter for our TV. A new plug was put on the burned end of sprinkler controller cord.

The services were excellent. I contacted him to do the work but I asked him if he would call my renter and set up the time and date with her since I didn't know about her schedule. He called her the next day (Friday) to set up an appointment. He even offered to go over on Saturday but she was busy and wouldn't be home. He kept me in the loop about everything that was going on, and called me when work was completed to explain to me in detail what work was accomplished and the billing. It turned out to be cheaper than I expected and that always makes me happy.

I called Mike as a result of his reviews on Angie's List. I had a large pendant in the foyer that was occasionally flickering off and on, plus a noisy fan and I needed to add a dimmer to a switch. He came the next day to look over the job and gave me an estimate. He came back quickly and did a great job. I also asked him about more energy efficient bulbs for my recessed lights. He gave me great information on some new recessed LED lighting and LED motion-detection outdoor flood lighting which could reduce my light bill after installation. Mike is very knowledgeable, professional and fairly priced. Thanks Mike.

Mike was the 2nd electrician that I contacted; the first one, who came highly recommended, showed up twice, did some work, had a million excuses and never returned. So, I turned to Angie's list and found Mike. Mike came and went through the whole house to see what I wanted done. He made suggestions for other work (totally my choice, I took some suggestions and put off others) and made an appt to come back. Mike showed up a little late on the day that he was supposed to come - however, he and I had spoken the day before and he did inform me that it might happen - so I have no complaints. He worked most of the day and my husband and I finally encouraged him to leave at 5:00 - because we knew that he was not feeling well and, because he charges by the hour, with no 'show up' fee, we could wait. We all made a new date for him to come by and he was back on time to finish the work. Mike had to drill a hole through MB bathroom to get to MB closet - to make an electical receptacle for an ironing board we were having installed - he told me exactly what he'd be doing and what he would have to wait and see - where joists are in the wall - and based on that he would put the new receptacle. What was GREAT is that he was willing to talk to the guy who was installing the closets, over the phone, to coordinate where to place the new receptacle. That in and of itself was great. Mike is very neat and cleans up after himself. He's very polite and let's the customer know exactly what he'll be doing. The total bill was a bit higher than I had wanted, but that was mostly due to extra items that I decided to purchase - which he supplied at cost. I will hire Mike again when I need more electrical work done - and we all know that I will!
Description of Work: Replaced recessed lighting in kitchen, replaced bathroom vent, fixed outdoor lighting source, created new electrical receptacle in MB closet, replaced old smoke alarms, reworked wiring in husband's 'cave'.

I called Mike early in the morning and explained my problem. He showed up the same day. He surveyed the situation and wired the cooktop. I was afraid that a new line would have to be run from the service panel but Mike indicated otherwise. He did not try to sell me on something I did not need. He appears to be very knowledgeable and is a pleasure to work with. It was nice to find a contractor that believes in and delivers outstanding customer service.

Mike came on time and completed the work as indicated making our house safer. As he reviewed the wiring, he found an additional problem in the switch box. He completed this repair and installed two boxes over the door so we can add sconce lights. He was knowledgable and professional in his work. He cleaned up his work area well.
Description of Work: Mike Woods came on short notice to help with an electrical problem discovered during a pocket door repair. Even though he was booked, he managed the time needed to fix our problem. When our wall was opened, a wire splice was found in the wall left by a previous contractor. Mike fixed the problem and identified other work in the switch box that needed to be repaired. He did not charge extra for this. He added 2 light boxes and provided a 4 switch plate cover.

Michael came out to my residence once before due to my ceiling fan and lighting not working in the main bathroom. He was hoping the original solution resolved the problem, but it didn't. He came out immediately, and after further investigation found out in another switch box, the wire nut, and wiring was burnt. He explained to me, when houses are built, sometimes electricians want to get in and out so they try to complete the job rapidly. This was my case. He showed me how the wiring was done, and told me what I should do to fix it. (In all the other outlets and switches). He said he could do it, but if I felt comfortable (which I do) then I could do it myself. (rather than having me, pay him). The other majow job I had done was to have a floodlight installed on my rear porch. (As a note, one was originally installed by ARS, but in my opinion in the end, they did a horrible job). I explained to Michael what ARS did, and he couldn't believe it. All I have to do now is flick a switch. He also installed a remote for my rear porch fan. The majority of what I spent was for the floodlight and the remote (as he had to undo everything ARS did). But in the end, although he was here over 3 hours, it was well worth it! A great QUALITY job!

Response from MISCELLANEOUS ELECTRICAL SERVICES, LLC.
First I would like to say; This customer is one who absolutely CANNOT be satisfied! During the entire visit at her residence, she complained to me that she had just signed up with Angie's List and that she was already fed up with the contaccts being made to her from Angie's List regarding the followup process that Angie's List does. She complained about the number of emails that she was recieving from Angie's List! I don't like to say this, but this is one customer who I wished taht I declined to do the job for! It wasn't apparent until after starting the job taht this customer was going to be hard to satisfy, even though this job wasn't special or hard at all. (Simply removing an old ceiling fan, and installing a new ceiling fan/light in the same location; which the customer provided). (The old ceiling fan had a light kit which had a old regular incandescent light bulb. The fan speed was currently controlled the an old rotary style fan speed control switch that was not set up for controlling both the fan speed and dimming the light). During the initial estimate visit, I tried to encourage this customer to purchase a new ceiling fan which incorporates the use of a remote control, because the wiring for this ceiling fan currently only supports the control of the fan speed and should not be utilized for speed/dimmimg the light! She was very clear with me that she did not want a remote control.. I again explained that the original fan speed control switch would only support the fan speed and probably would not last long after the new ceiling fan has been installed. Customer purchased a new ceiling fan with a light kit which now incorporates compact flourescent bulb. We installed the new ceiling fan like the customer requested and we tested the speed control operation before leaving and even showed how it would and will not work to this customer before we left. (The original fan speed control switch was working to control the fan speed, however the light dimming would not work like she thought it would. I explained to her that this is why I told her the speed control switch could not be used to control the dimming of the light)! I again suggested either installing a remote control or adding additional wiring so that proper switching could be utilized! She told me that she still did not want a remote control nor any other wiring! PLEASE NOTE THAT I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OF MAKING THIS CUSTOMER HAPPY AND EVEN REDUCED THE TOTAL INVOICE AMOUNT AS A MEANS OF MAKING THIS SITUATION CORRECT, EVEN THOUGH EVERYTHING WA VERY WELL EXPLAINED AHEAD OF TIME, AND THAT WE DID NOT DO ANYTHING WRONG! We did return to install a new rotary style fan spped control switch because she called and said that the original unit quit working. She said that it wasn't working when we left the very first time. However, I personally showed the operation of this switch to her before we left. During our second visit, after installing the new rotary style fan speed control switch, we changed out (2) old motion sensor flood light units with new motion controlled flood light and bulbs as well as focused the sensor where she wanted them focused. We cleaned up all debris that was created while performing this job. We disposed of all trash with the exception of her old ceiling fan and the packaging that the new ceiling fan camein. She told us to place the old ceiling fan and packaging could be placed inside her garage beside her garbage can which she would take out with the rest of her trash. All appointments were scheduled in advance and were kept on time! I do not know why this customer states that we have missed 2 appointments. This is absolutely not true! However, I'm confident that as others read the rports by our other customers, they can rest assured that the marks given by this particular customer do not reflect the type of services I myself or my company provides. I do regret having to post this response, however I do feel that an explanation of our attempts to do everything possible to make this customer happy needs to be put forth for all to see!

We had lightning strike a pine tree right behind our house that resulted in a computer, cable modem, router, printer and battery backup unit all being fried. I had suspicions that the outlet that I was using in my office was not working properly, then we had a power surge during the recent icy weather and lost another cable modem. I had discussed the problem with Mike last month but couldn't afford to have the work done then. I called Mike yesterday and said I really needed to get this situation fixed. He came at 1 o'clock this afternoon and when he checked the outlet in the office found that it was wired backwards and not grounded. He put in a new outlet and checked the grounding rod at the breaker box. It looked like it might be a good idea to replace it, so I told him to go ahead and do it. I also felt like the service to the office was inadequate for my needs and I needed a good grounded outlet for my computer and battery backup. Mike recommended running a new service line to the office. He put in a new circuit breaker and his helper ran wire through the attic into the office and put in a duplex outlet. Now I have 4 grounded outlets in the office and I have a dedicated circuit just for my computers and office equipment. No more extension cords!
Description of Work: Repaired a reversed polarity outlet. Installed a new circuit breaker, new grounding rod, new duplex outlet, ran new wire for a dedicated outlet for my office.

I found Mike on Angie's List, and given his excellent ratings, phoned him. He was here within 2 hours (I'd expected the next day -- but he said he'd come between jobs the same day if he could find the time); quickly identified and repaired the problem; and said to call if any further problems. He's a very nice person, well-spoken, intelligent, and honest. I highly recommend him!
