We were very pleased. They were prompt and got to the bottom of our problem with a hot water heater. The circuit breaker to the hot water heater was bad and was quickly replaced. We had previously called a plumber who determined the problem was electrical, but then hooked the electrical connection up wrong unbeknownst to us. When we called Mr. Nesmith he had to figure it all out and it was the circuit breaker. He was very nice and polite. We plan to call him again for some other electrical work we need.

My problem appeared to have an easy fix. Replacing the GFCI outlet should have fixed the problem but it didn't. I called and Jessie came out within the hour. He determined one wire was bad but the process of tracking that wire was a nightmare. Jessie stuck with it, though. He was kind, respectful and never complained about the horribly hot conditions in the attic where he spent much of his time. The total job took about 3 hours but he finally found the source of the problem and fixed it. I would definitely call on Nesmith Electrical again for any electrical problems.

Frank was great. He took the time to crawl through the attic with me and explain my house's electrical system (new home owner of an older house). He and his sons performed excellent work. They took the time to do the job right. Frank doesn't cut corners. I've had him back several times to help with other electrical projects.

He had to get in the attic to install the braces for the unit, and widen the whole in the ceiling to accommodate the unit. I purchased the unit from Lowe's online. Unfortunately, after the installation we found out that it was defective. Frank took it out and boxed it up for me to return, and promised to install the new one once we got it - free of charge. Second unit was installed pretty quickly and has caused no problem at all.
Description of Work: Helped me select, and then installed a lighter/heater combination unit in the shower stall. Also installed a switch that let me control the bathroom light, and the shower stall light separately from the heating unit - which is on a timer.

Frank did a very good job. He was prompt in responding to my initial call and provided a very competitive estimate within 24 hours. He started the job within the next 48, even providing some additional light fixture options besides those I had purchased. The work was done professionally. He even came on a Saturday to finish up some of the work he thought would be finished on Friday. A minor issue with some drywall was pointed out and a handyman subcontractor was dispatched to perform the repair. We're very pleased with the lighting work.

Called Frank one evening a couple of nights ago. We had power to some things in the house but not all. Breakers were fine. Despite the fact that he had never done work for us before and it was after hours, he told us he would be at the house within the next couple of hours. He was true to his word. It turned out to be a partial power outage with the electric company. Frank called and reported it himself to make sure we weren't bounced back and forth between the power company and them telling us we needed to get an electrician. He saw to it that they understood the situation. Our power was fully restored about three hours later. GREAT SERVICE and we are spreading the word. Thanks so much!

He was the only one willing to come after 5:00 on a Friday to look at the electric problem. He came and fixed it so that I was not without a stove all week end. He was very professional, nice and very resonable on his cost. I will use Mr. Nesmith from now on....

Frank Nesmith came out & inspected my electrical box, meter box & wiring. He determined that there was corrosion in the meter box and recommended replacing it. He gave me a quote & asked me to call him back in a couple of days to set up a time & date for repairs. I called him several times during the following week. He never returned any phone calls & never returned for repairs.

Response from Nesmith Electrical Services
This customer told us from the very beginning that he could not afford much, to see how we can help him, our mistake was to mention how the meter can be repaired but it would have to be done without a permit, he asked about how much does something like that cost we told him. Problem is we do not do jobs with out pulling permits if it is required like in this case.

Let's just say I wish I had put a lot more stock in the negative reviews and a whole lot less on the positive. Very sloppy work. Plugs that were suppose to be hot all the time are only hot when the lights are on, therefore I will have to get someone else to re-do them. Plugs on front of work benches stick out over an inch....another thing that I'm going to have to change. Very poor communication, late show ups, no shows and lots of rescheduling. There was one other issue (the one that was the most crucial one to me) but, I will not mention it on a public site. He left the job unfinished and won't return texts and calls. But, he sure put himself on a very high pedestal. Lots of bragging about his work ethics, people skills and punctuality. UPDATE: To begin with, the price he quoted, in the very beginning, is the price we went with. I did ask him to do a couple more things and he gave me a price to do them and I paid him the extra for doing them. Digging the trench to the shed and greenhouse was included in the original quote so he did nothing extra here?.even though he makes it sound like it was above and beyond. Yes, my funds are limited and now I'm going to have to hire someone else to fix these things and finish what he didn't come back and do. As far as the walk through and ?everything was as I requested??.well, I took him on his word, which turned out to be a mistake on my part. As we walked through he STATED that the ceiling plugs in the shop were all hot all the time and the ones on the front of the bench were not. That is what we agreed upon, however, only one of the ceiling plugs is hot, the one in the middle of the shop. The two above the benches are not hot. The light above the bench has to be on for them to work. I guess I should have plugged something in to check this for myself instead of taking him on his word. He knew from the beginning that the lights I bought were the plug in type. I told him this in the beginning and showed him the light fixtures and explained I wanted it this way in case I ever need to change them that all I had to do was unplug the old and plug the new. There is nothing wrong with the lights I bough. I have checked with another electrician and the sales associate from Lowe?s where I bought the lights and the plugs just simply are not wired properly. As for the plugs sticking out on the front of the workbench, you can see these in the pictures I posted. Who would put sheetrock on the front of a workbench? I do not care about the light fixture. Frank told me it was used and I was ok with that from the beginning (it was just a fixture for the greenhouse). As for the fan bracket he is referring to, it is still wobbly and once again I did not get the ladder and check it before they left. I noticed it afterwards when the fan started wobbling. So that didn?t get fixed properly, even though I paid for it. He was supposed to come back and finish hanging a fan in the bedroom. The fan was defective and I was going to have to get a new one. They did not have time that day for me to go get the new one. Also, they were going to add a plug in my bathroom. So we agreed that they would come back another day and do those two things?.and, since they were extra, we agreed upon a price for them. Several days went by, with the old fan hanging unfinished from the ceiling, and I did not hear from him. I tried to call him, no response and no return call when I left a message. I sent a text and he responded and told me he would get back to me and he never did. And, since he mentioned it, I will respond to the missing hammer. I DID NOT ACCUSE HIM of taking my hammer or anything else. You can read the email message I sent him and see that I merely ask him if it could have gotten mixed up with their tools since they were working in my shop. I posted a picture of it with the other pictures.
Description of Work: Ran electricity to shop and greenhouse, installed lights, plugs and switches in both. Added switch and plug on pond post. Hung 3 ceiling fans in house and changed out the light fixture on the patio. I supplied the fans and all but 2 of the light fixtures. One that he installed was used which we had discussed and agreed upon.

Response from Nesmith Electrical Services
First the price she got was a lot lower then originally qouted, she said she did not have much money to work with, second we had to dig a trench from her house to the shed and run conduit and pull wire and we also had to trench from the shed to the green house. Third everything was done according to how she wanted it, before we left the job we went through it to see if we needed to change or add anything we fixed ceiling fan brackets because her fans were not properly supported. When we left she was very happy with everything that was done the plugs that are on only when the light switch is on is because of the lights she bought, they were the plug in type and the plugs on the work bench do not stick out an inch they stick out standard length if Sheetrock was to be installed. We feel that she got more for her money then what she thinks, we repaired wiring in both bathrooms to accommodate ceiling fans for the price we finally agreed upon we supplied all of the material and the light fixture she mentioned was new I took it out of the box right there at here house we even supplied the lamps and left her spare lamps, it saddens me that some people comment like this even after the job was walked through with them and they tell you how happy they are with everything and what a wonderful job it was, she even sent me a picture of the light in her greenhouse and how happy she was with it. As far as the scheduling is concern, we have a contract with the hospital at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi and there generator was acting up being that it is a hospital we have to respond them first, I always mention this when I meet the client for the first time so comments like the ones that miss Freeman made would not occur, all in all Miss Freeman still seems to be a nice person, I am just sorry she feels the way she does. The thing I think she does not want to mention is that she accused us of taking a hammer. I carry several hammers in my truck at any given time, I decided no to go back in the event that something else went missing we would get the blame again. We have done work with some many different people some who live in gated communities and others who live down Ocean Dr. They give us the key to there house and leave and tell us to lock up when we are through, Miss freeman does not have anything we don't already have, we get this negative review all because of a missing hammer.

Last night around midnight, our son came from upstairs saying his lights were going off, coming back on, over and over. My husband went up to check things out with him, couldn't figure out what the problem was. First thing this morning I got on Angie's List and found Nesmith Electrical Services, called Frank and he was over in half an hour. He started checking for the problem upstairs in my son's bedroom, checked the loft area, went into the attic checking all outlets, wiring. He then checked the outlets in the dining room, the kitchen and on to the garage. When he checked the outlet in the ceiling of the garage (which the garage door opener was plugged into) he found that the outlet wiring was shorting out and melting the plastic covering around the wiring. The male plug of the garage door opener was already starting to melt on one side. I thank God the this situation happened and I thank Him also for Frank Nesmith. He worked fast, checked out everything possible and replaced the outlet. Had my son's lights not started blinking on and off, we wouldn't have known what was happening and our entire house could have gone up in flames! Thanks, Frank - you are our new electrician!
Description of Work: Frank replaced an electrical outlet in our garage that the garage door opener was plugged into. It was going bad and had already melted the plastic around the wiring & was starting to melt the edge of the male plug of the garage door opener that was plugged into the outlet.
