He arrived on time and went right to work and was able to fix the problem in very little time as it was just a wire that was loose in the box. Angie's List had a special of $99.00 for an Electrical Job, which I took, thinking it might be a big job. He was sorry that I had taken the Angie's List special for $99.00 as it would not have cost that much without that. But I was very pleased with his work and his professionalism. I would use Foster Electric again if I needed more electrical work performed.
Description of Work: Fixed the overhead flood lights in Great Room.

This service provider is Excellent! Yes, Excellent! I had Foster Electric fix some minor items in my home in the past but this time I needed several attic fans replaced/repaired. I had to request an estimate as I was working through a Home Warranty Company. I cant say enough positive comments about the young man who gave me the estimate as well as the 2 guys who completed the work! He came the next day for the estimate and then work was completed several days later. Mary, the receptionist, was very helpful and assisted me with the Warranty Company's required documentation. All of their employees are very professional and respectful. They were also pleasant with a smile on their faces. We plan to keep Foster Electric as "Our Electricians". Kudos to this management team for hiring such great employees!

I had several small jobs including hanging a new ceiling fan, adding an outdoor receptacle, replacing a couple of receptacles and putting in three dimmers. I received immediate response from the front office and the next available appointment was given to me. The two electricians were excellent. They called before they came, worked diligently to get the jobs done and cleaned up after themselves. We have used Foster Electric on several occasions before and will also use them again!

This past Friday someone came out to provide us with an estimate on several different things. I was told we would have the estimate by Monday because we were asking for a quote on several different things. This was understandable considering we are planning to do a lot of upgrades to a house we just purchased. It is now Thursday the following week and I have yet to get an estimate in my inbox. I called three times today and hours later someone finally returned my phone call. I explained the situation to the woman on the phone and she said she would make sure I had an estimate in my inbox today. She took my email just to make sure it wasn't sent to an incorrect email. She repeated it back and it was correct. I fully expected to have an estimate in my inbox by now and sadly that is not the case. If you are a customer that wants to get quotes for giggles and not get any actual work done this is the provider for you! However, if you are actually looking to fix things in your home and require a warm body in your home to complete this work...this is not the provider you're looking for.

From the very first call to the scheduler (Mary) to the very last detail, everybody was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and courteous. The estimate was fair and the final price actually came in $80 below. The installers did their best to hide the wires and made it all look very professional. Foster Electric will be doing all of my future work. I recommend them without hesitation.

Not only was he promot, but he called to see if he could come 1/2 hour early. Polite, knowledgeable, hard working and cleaned up after himself. I will definitley use Foster Electric again for any electrical work I have. In fact, I am going to go ahead and have them start doing some tof the things I have put off for years because I dreaded having to find a good, trustworthy electrician. I highly recommend!

I was unhappy with the quote and asked Foster to revise it, given some new information and different expectations. I thought the initial quote was inflated given the time it would take for the work. A technician replied that he would revise the quote but I have haven't heard anything back after a week. I'll find a different electrician or do the job myself and let EPB handle the cable.
Description of Work: Provided a quote to install two new outlets, four pass-through receptacles for electronics wiring and move a cable outlet.

Gave time estimate of when they'd be out there and called 20 minutes prior to arrival. Very polite and nice. Because I have an older house, it presented a lot of problems, but they brainstormed and were able to come up with great solutions. I ended up paying less than the estimate too, despite all of the problems, which was a very nice surprise. Very hard-working! I will definitely use them again for any other electrical needs!!

Two men worked continuously for four hours to complete the job. They did so very professionally and cleaned up the drywall dust that was created in the process. This is the second time that I have used Foster Electric. I initially found them on Angie's List last February. They planned to install some new wiring in a lakeside cabin for a quoted price of $630. The cabin is located some 35 miles from their shop. When the electricians arrived, they did some testing and found a less expensive way to do the job -- so the final bill was only $150. You won't find many like that! My hat's off to Foster for their honesty, courtesy and professionalism.
Description of Work: Provided and installed a 200 amp service panel with new breakers to replace an overloaded 125 amp panel in the center of my home. They also installed a new 20 amp GFCI for service to an outdoor shed.

I can't say enough nice things about Foster Electric. I have used them in the past and even today they did not disappoint. They were punctual and installed both fans and cleaned up behind themselves. I always ask about future projects I'm thinking about and Scott always lets me know the most cost effective way to get it done. This is a great company with excellent customer service. They are definitely one of my Favs.

They called about 20 minutes before they arrived and showed up on time. They got right to work and asked a few questions to confirm what we wanted to have done. They were nice and professional and I would defintely use them again. They cleaned up after themselves and swept our bedroom floor when they were finished, so you can barely tell work was just done in there.
Description of Work: Installed four recess lights in our master bedroom and installed two outdoor flood lights in the back yard.

Overall Fosters did a great job. However, I do question the total price of the project. I provided all the lights and ceiling fans (except the recessed lights). The recessed lights cost about $30/each so I was charged about $85/hour for the total man hours worked. Maybe this is a good price, not sure. The team was very courteous and professional. They do great work. I will definitely use them again when I need some work done.

good company, I've used them before. I like their work but this inspection wasn't completely what I expected. I was hoping the inspection tested each outlet but that wasn't part of the deal. It did check to see if GFCI was working properly and if the electrical box, AC units had proper wiring install and some other stuff that the home inspector already checked. He didn't find anything the inspector missed so I guess that is good

We contacted Foster through Angie's list on a weekend and they responded the following Monday morning. The estimator came out two days later (in consideration of my schedule -- he would have come out the next day), looked at what we needed and gave me a written quote (with my 10% Angie's List discount) that afternoon. Both my wife and I thought the quote very reasonable and less than we expected. I called the next morning and we scheduled the work for the following Monday (again, they could have done it sooner but I was unable to take an afternoon off until then). The electrician showed up on time, knew what we needed done, I did a walk through to show him the locations and he went to work. He was finished in about an hour and, since it had taken less time than anticipated, they gave me an additional discount off the already discounted quoted price. I was please with the responsiveness of the estimator, the quote and the work. All was done as quoted, as we requested, and at the time they stated. I have no complaint at all about the work performed or the price. And I would happily recommend Foster Electric to anyone in need of electrical services. "A" for all categories.
Description of Work: We asked for 4 items: 1) a new electrical box on our porch, 2) two new lights in our bathroom, 3) move a light switch in our laundry room, and 4) a new thermostat on our attic fan.
