Travis came out and did the work. He had to remove stones to run the electrical wire and he did a great job. He only removed a few stones over a 10 foot stretch, was very professional and cleaned up the work area when he was done. Would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Installed an electrical outlet in our outdoor masonry fireplace.

They were extremely professional, they had their work done in one day and were willing to go the extra mile to make sure I was satisfied and even in put a temporary switch at the end of the day so I could use the lights.
Description of Work: They re-routed some some switches, they re did the fan and separated the fan switch from the light switch so there would be two switches within it so you wouldn't just turn the fan and light on at once. And a closet light I think.

Dan Molitar did an outstanding job...he'll be my electrician from now on!
Description of Work: Dan Molitar removed a ceiling fan/light combo fixture and installed it in another room in our house. The room he moved it to was not wired for a ceiling fixture so he had to do all the work to install two switches so we could have independent control over lights and fan. He then installed 4 canned light fixtures in room where fan had been removed and positioned them perfectly around our pool table. He removed 2 fluorescent fixtures from our kitchen and installed 7 canned fixtures (with all new wiring) throughout the kitchen. He also installed 4 pendant lights over our island in the kitchen. He installed 2 new outlets outside on the patio. He installed a new 4 plug outlet in our master bath.

Used them several times. Dan is the owner. He has one other electrician and an apprentice. All are very courteous and professional. They are very quiet when in your house and they clean up everything before they leave. Really couldn't be happier with these guys. You will be in good hands. Extreme attention to details. They even make sure all the slots in screw heads are lined up the same way on switch face plates!
Description of Work: Installed LED undercounter lights, additional plugs and troubleshooting on a circuit.

Dear [Member Name Removed], I am sorry to hear you are upset that you did not receive a response from our company. We had posted on our Angie's List page some time ago that we are not taking new business at this time due to work overload. I apologize for any confusion this caused. I have found my relationship with Angie's List customers very good over the years and it was not my intention at all to neglect your needs. Dan, Molitor Electric

Guys came out to assess a multi-room job (including outside work) They were punctual, courteous, and thorough (including a complete assessment in the attic). We wound up choosing another vendor because they had already done work on the house. Will not, however, hesitate to use Molitor in the future.

Dan rewired my entire house and changed the breaker box. My wife and I purchased an old craftsman bungalow that had never been re-wired (circa 1925). Dan and his assistant did an outstanding job from the outset of the job to the completion date. The best thing about hiring Dab, aside from his straightforward honest approach was the fact that he owned the company and was therefore doing the work himself. If I needed to make a change or adjust something, he did not have to get anyone's clearance for the change. Importantly, Dan is an extremely personable individual making communication easy and stress free. I was thoroughly satisfied with his work and would hire him again without hesitation.
Description of Work: Dan Molitor performed the following: Full re-wire of existing home including: Upgrade of electrical service to 150 amp. Grounding to current code. Permitting through City of Austin. Installation of new wiring for all receptacles, switches, lighting outlets and appliances. Smoke detectors to code. Removal of all old wiring.

He did a fine job. He was very prompt and I really liked his work. He had some apt suggestions for other work that would improve the safety of my kitchen wiring. He also provided an estimate for replacing my outdoor electrical box. He was not pushy and made great suggestions. His prices were fine and he was very efficient. He followed through on the estimate and was very prompt to follow up on it. He came when he said he would and was reliable. I was really pleased with his service.

Discovered a plug that wasn't working and could not identify problem. Molitor sent an electrician within 24 hours and identified the issue. No repair was required but we were shown the problem - a tripped GFCI switch - and how to diagnose in the future. Only charged a service call fee.

Dan and his crew were wonderful. This old home had so many issues because of age and the prior owner used a handyman who rigged most things illegally and therefore was unsafe.. This home is for rental purposes and we wanted it safe. Every time, the guys tried to repair something, there would be issues and nothing was easy. However, they always found solutions and had the best attitude. They made sure everything was done safely and up to code. There were a few times I found others problems during later renovation and they always came out quickly to resolve them. It was such a pleasure to work with Dan, Mike, and Sam!

Sent email with pictures and got an estimate from Dan for adding a pendant light over a kitchen sink and installing a whole-house surge protector. Mike and an assistant showed up on the appointed morning and were able to install the light without having to open up the ceiling, saving a drywall repair job. They were neat and professional, used a drop cloth and cleaned up the site afterward. During the surge protector install Mike found a loose nut on a breaker and geckos inside the box. He cleaned it up and sealed the hole they were using to keep out the wildlife. The new light looks and works great. I really appreciate the attention to detail, and kudos to Mike for finding and fixing the issues in the main breaker box. Excellent experience and highly recommended.

Recently bought my house in late March and wanted 3 GFCI outlets installed and had some questions about low hanging wires alongside my house. Chose Molitor Electric based on Angie's List reviews. Left Dan a voicemail and he called back within a couple of hours, told him what I was looking for and he came over to check it out. He informed me that the low hanging wires were cable and phone so nothing dangerous to worry about and I could raise them myself. Also had him look at the main electric panel based on information from my home inspection and most everything was fine but had a few small recommendations. He gave me a quote of $350 for 3 GFCIs and maintenance on the electric panel. I told him that was fine and he said he could do it in the coming weeks. I wasn't on a time table and told him that's fine and about 2 weeks later he called asking if I was available to do the work. He came over and did a great job, only needing him to do 2 GFCI outlets and the electric box maintenance so he cut the price to $300. Haven't had any issues with any of his work and would use him again in the future.
Description of Work: Installed 2 GFCI outlets outside and maintenance on the main electric panel.

Job 1: Dan showed up a little late, but he called to give me a heads up and you can't know all that will occur when you are a very busy one-man band (Mike working for Dan yet) and wanting to give the quality work and effort Dan gives. Dan went thru the shop and house after first electrician had given bid and Dan showed me exactly why certain work did not need to be done by way of brakers, testers, turning on/off switches(previous guy never bothered and said he would charge me for installing z240v line that I told him already existed, but he said the outlet and braker box weren't really set up as I thought). Dan even showed me which outlets went to which switches in shop for my own future reference, helped me think thru where equipment would go before putting up new light boxes, and told me more of efficient bulbs and option to replace existings on own if I wanted rather than pay him a lot of money...told me where to get them and think about what type of light I wanted to work under before buying bulbs. I was looooving this guy. Thinking, practical, saving me money, and educating me. We went into house and showed me what needed to be done and was doing it right (other electrician was going to do hack job for more money). Dan also said would save him time and self if I did certain Inge before he installed new garbage disposal (house had never had one). All went smoothly when Dan returned and on time :-). He was half the cost and better at job by far! Job 2- House had no back patio light and was driving me nuts. Sounds simple..well, Dan was out of town, but returned call to say has a guy working with him now (Mike) and said Mike is as detailed oriented as Dan (and he is!). And if I didn't want to wait, Mike could do the job...tho he said by our conversation it would be time consuming and not cheap due to construction of house. I am pretty good at construction, but also cheap and so when Mike came out, Mike entertained all my thoughts of alternatives to save money, but none panned out...Dan and Mike knew all along, the only way was to fish wire thru soffit, around corners and all. An extra junction box and ability at light switch was put in should I decide to put in another light at corner of house (All Mike's suggestion, b/c cost hardly anything to do while doing the rest....and would be easy for me to add corner light my self. Dan and Mike are very meticulous, always thinking what may help you or save you money, dependable, smart, very reasonable, and just darn nice guys to boot! Dan and Mike are on my 'Golden List' and am grateful to have them and one other trades person...if only could duplicate them to be Sheetrockers, painters, or roofers!
Description of Work: This is actually a VERY overdue review for two past jobs. Dan and Mike did several jobs for me in the past 3 years since buying a house that I had just bought that had a workshop. The first job was for some work in the shop and kitchen and done by Dan. It required very little work for what another electrician told me that would take twice as much work to accomplish what was needed and the other guy was going to take short cuts. The second job was done by trusted right-hand man, Mike, that took a lot of work for something seemingly small back patio light fixture.

They were great pricewise and everything. Actually he ran into complications where an extra price went counted against us. They did some recess lighting in our kitchen. He bought LED's but the LED prices had gone up but he kept the quote price the same, which was quite impressive. He was the cheapest of everybody. He showed up within five minutes. He brought a second person even though we only paid him for one person to show up. Like I said he ate the cost of his although it went over his estimate.
Description of Work: We used Molitor Electric Inc to fix some recess lights in our kitchen.
