Description of Work: Melvin was as good as the things I've read about him, and better. I called him on a Monday. He was out here the next day at the time he said he'd be here. He communicated very well with me (called to say he was on the way). He finished the job in less than 2 hours, and that included a trip to an electrical salvage yard 15 miles away, where he had to go to find parts for our antiquated power box. He fixed broken and loose wires and replaced a breaker. Iv'e spoken to many people with similar problems that were told they needed the whole box replaced for about $2500.00. He was more than honest and very professional. He called me today to make sure we are not having any problems. I would use him again and recommend him to anyone.

Description of Work: May 26, 2011 I selected two Electricians from Angie's List. Using their 'E-Mail Provider' on their web site. I requested quote for 2 additional electrical outlets to be installed in garage. Melvin, at Awesome Electric responded immediately. I have yet to hear from the other. Melvin and helper showed up promptly as promised on 6-3-2011. Went right to work and installed the outlets as we agreed upon and at the price quoted. I was impressed with their professionalism and quality of installation. I will defiitely use Awesome Electric in the future as needed and will not hesitate to recommend Awesome Electric to others.

Melvin was easy to reach and schedule an appointment with. He is essentially a one man shop so I often talked to him while he was driving from one job to another but this was not a problem as he was very responsive. He came out and gave us an estimate that was well below what another electrician had submitted. When he came out to do the repairs, it became apparent that the pipe was so corroded it was not going to be salvageable and he had to buy some new parts. He kept us up to date on what he was doing as her performed the job. The addtional labor and parts was within $75.00 of his original bid so I did not consider this a problem. Melvin and his crew were punctual and cleaned up after themselves. My husband and I are very pleased with his work and will use him again.
Description of Work: The wiring surronding our air conditioning condensers had never been installed properly. Add to this fact, the pipe containing the wires had become severely corroded. Melvin replaced this.

Melvyn Rodriguez was excellent. He and his assistant were polite, professional and cleaned up after themselves. They worked straight through lunch time. Melvyn stopped to explain every step of the way, and listened to my ideas. He recommended I provide some of the fixtures which were unique and not likely to be on his truck. I am planning to use Awesome Electric again for two chandeliers, new hall lights, and dimmers. This experience was everything I hoped for.
Description of Work: Replace 4 dusk to dawn spotlights with new boxes to hold fixtures. Install GFCI outlet in back yard with in -use cover . Repair track lights in living room. Install dimmer in living room. Replace photocell for outdoor security light.

Description of Work: My Operations Manager called Melvin to come give us a quote on doing some electrical work at my Company. After speaking with him shortly, Melvin hung up and would not answer his phone again. I am confused to say the least. I wish him the best of luck in the future.

Response from Awesome Electric
As per our conversation on 11/23/09 concerning this rating I received from this memebr. He had his plant manager call me, he call Thursday 11/18/09 at 5:08pm not 11/17/09 as stated on the report and I spoke to him shortly and told him I do not work in industrial applications( my insurance only covers for residential and commercial applications).We got disconnected: my phone dropped the call.I did not hang up on him, I waited for him to call back he did not. I have downloaded my phone records from Sprint .com and probably the conversation transcripts if need be to verify to all what I am saying is true. I also called the plant manager back on the morning of 11/19/09 at 8:37 am and discussed his situation and recommended that he locate an Electrician in Alvin that could possibly do the job for him.I would have register my license at the City of Alvin that would additional cost for customer finding some already registered and able to work in said application would be best for the customer. My method of operation is if I can help you over the phone I will saving you the customer money if possible. Also if I cannot help I will tell you such as I did in this situation.

Called Melvin Friday afternoon. He scheduled me in for Saturday morning and showed up on time. He was very prompt and polite. He quickly figured out what the problem was and resolved the issue in the proper manner. Melvin and his assistant even helped me move the heavy range into its proper place.
Description of Work: Had to troubleshoot a dead appliance outlet behind the range. The outlet had never been hooked up, and there weren't enough wires for the outlet which was in the wall. Melvin replaced the outlet with the proper one and replaced the range cord to match.

Melvin replaced the light fixtures in our bathrooms during a remodel, as well as added wall sconces. One fixture had to be moved up higher on the wall to accomodate the new tile and mirror. He did a great job in measuring out where they should all go and had the boxes installed. He returned after the wall was completed to install the new fixtures. He is quick, affordable and does a fine job. I would definitely call him again for any electrical work I needed.

Melvin setup an appointment quickly and was always in touch with me thoughout the process. He had to get in the attic to run some of of the lines and he had a small mishap. The ceiling in the apartment was very thin, and he stuck his foot through and made a 1 foot hole in the ceiling. Melvin immediately informed me of this mishap and repaired the ceiling on a second trip two days later. The tenant was happy with the repair work as well.
Description of Work: I had an entire apartment on two circuits. This was causing problems as the breaker would become overloaded and trip the breaker often. Melvin seperated it into 3 circuits and also isolated the plug-in that received the most power on just one of the circuits. The tenant said that this fixed the problem she was constantly having.

It went great. He was more concerned about things being perfectly plumb than I was, so he took his time and did the job right.
Description of Work: I had a new service panel installed. Awesome Electric showed up on time, did the job for what they said it would cost, and did meticulous work.

Emailed company from Angies List contact list. Received reply that same day. Set appointment to get estimate for needed work. Mr. Rodriquez arrived on time, provided a very acceptable estimate and professionally discussed the required work. Provided complete information about what work could be done without extensive electrical rework and offered options for more involved work for track lighting in living room. Helped me search local companies for appropriate lighting products and provided list of materials I would need to look for. I told him I would consider the price of the items required. For the flat screen TV installation he returned after the reworked sheetrock and painting were completed and mounted the TV hiding all wires and providing very acceptable mounting appearance. I was very pleased with the explanations he provided about all the work and found the information to be very straightforward and easy to understand.
Description of Work: Additional recessed lighting during renovation, hardwired ceiling fan and installed wall switch for same. Installed additional electrical outlets and wall mounted flat screen TV. Provided information to upgrade track lighting in living room.

Our A/C was not working due to low voltage. I called Melvin to see if he could come by that day - he was on another job but said he'd call when finished. Melvin called as promised and confirmed he could take care of our problem that afternoon. Melvin found our problem to be due to improper (and potentially dangerous) connection of the Aluminum Wiring from the house with Copper wiring to the A/C. Additionally the romex wire to the A/C was not in coduit as requried by code for outdoor installations. Melvin rectified the problem and brought our electrical supply to A/C in conformance with code. We were very happy with our experience with Melvin.
Description of Work: Diagnosed the problem. Installed a Junction box (for connection of Copper and Aluminum wiring) on brick exterior of home Installed Conduit (say 15 ft) along brick exterior of home to protect romex wire suppling power to our A/C

I spoke with Melvin at 8:30 p.m., he was just comming out of church. He called me back and said he would come out tonight and try to fix it for me because I had been without hot water for 2 weeks. He arrived at my home around 9:30 was finished by 10:30 and I had hot water heating again. He was a God send.

It was easy to reach Melvin on the phone. I asked him to come over on a specific day that was a week away, and he agreed, but asked me to call him back to remind him. When he arrived on the scheduled day (within an hour of the time I expected him), he and his technician promptly replaced the damaged outlet. The work was completed and the work site was cleaned up in less than 45 minutes. He charged me less than his regular service call charge of $95 because the job was so small. I was very pleased with the work.
Description of Work: Melvin replaced a GFCI outlet underneath our kitchen sink. Our garbage disposal had been plugged into the outlet, and apparently, the motors on disposals can damage GFCI switches. Melvin and his technician replaced the GFCI outlet with a regular outlet.

Given the circumstances (Centerpoint damaging my electric service and then making it my responsibility to get it repaired and pay for it myself and then file claim with Centerpoint and HOPE to get reimbursed for their negligence). Melvin made the whole situation somewhat less aggravating.
Description of Work: Melvin (aka Awesome Electric) replaced the underground lateral service lines from ground transformer in my backyard to the meter on the side of my house after they had been damaged by Centerpoint. He did a very good job and charged a fair price. He also is very personable. Would recommend and would use again.
