They showed up when stated and were very professional and thorough. Once they found the problem they then checked several other outlets to make sure it was an isolated issue. I would gladly hire them again.

Great. He charged $150 for about 5 minutes of work. Actually, about $30 for the work and $120 for knowing where the short was located.

Mr. Jackson is a bit gruff over the phone. We made an appointment, he gave me a price of $1600 for the work. He obtained permits. Installed lateral, green tag from city, returned to backfill trench, received payment. He knows what he is doing, and he is inexpensive compared to the other bids I got.

Called Wade on Monday afternoon. He agreed to meet at 5pm that day. He called at 4:45 to confirm he was on the way. He showed up on time, found the problem with the front light and repaired. He then checked all the outlets in the kitchen and replaced the problem GFCI outlet. Extrememly nice, professional and very helpful in answering all my questions.

It took a few weeks, because the timer he brought the first time was the wrong one and his supplier doesn't stock the one we needed. Then the supplier ordered the wrong one, too. After calls to see if he'd gotten the timer, we looked it up on the internet, and Wade confirmed it was the right one. We ordered it ourselves. Wade got tied up on a job before ours, so was a little late. When he got here, he did both jobs quickly, explained things very clearly, and is worth waiting for so the job's done right. We'll continue to use him.

Wade was late for the estimate appointment, but once he arrived, I showed him what I had in mind for the kitchen remodel. He explained that the separate circuit would probably cost $200, and I said OK. We talked some more about the job and he gave the estimate of $850. I thought this price included the $200 for that separate circuit. On a personal note, we didn't really hit it off and my gut feeling was not to use him, but I accepted his bid. I thought the price was fair and his Angie's List rating was good. When he came to do the job, he was an hour and a half late. We discussed where the recessed lighting, other outlets, switches, and the new outlet for the microwave hood would be. During this time, he was argumentative. I almost asked him to leave, that we weren't getting along, but I was on a time constraint and thought I would just get through it. At the end of the day, I noticed he did not put a separate circuit for the microwave and I questioned him on this. He said that would be another $200 and that he didn't think I needed a separate circuit anyway. He also left an outlet I asked him to remove, and removed an outlet I wanted to keep. He did not relocate a switch that he had suggested be moved. He missed placing an outlet on the north wall of the kitchen. He basically wasn't listening to what I wanted; he did what he wanted. After a phone call, he did come back the next day and placed two outlets, but overall, I thought Wade was not customer-friendly and I would never use him again.
Description of Work: We are remodeling our kitchen and needed recessed lighting placed (five cans), a switch for lighting our pantry, some outlets removed and some new outlets/switches placed, and a separate electric circuit for a microwave/vent hood.

The Electrician did a good job. In addition, he gave me valuable pointers on how to use the equipment I was having installed. He also saved me money by suggesting that one piece of lighting equipment I had purchased was not useful and that I would be better off to return it to the store, which I did. My only negative point is that he did not call when it turned out that he would be delayed by several hours past the scheduled time. A phone call to the customer to advise of schedule changes of several hours would be a much appreciated professional courtesy.

Wade got to work immediately upon arrival. He never took a break and was helpful and polite. I had also thought about getting a recessed light installed in my laundry closet. Wade suggested that I might want to wait until I had my new washer and dryer delivered. He also explained to me how it might be better to move the existing light to another location in the closet. Wade did an excellent job on the chandelier and went right to work on the outside lights. I had an additional flood light with a photo cell installed on one side of the garage to match the one on the other side. Wade added a photo cell to the existing one and then installed another light fixture replacing the old one I had on the side of the house. I was so pleased with the work and his professionalism.

An excellent experience. I found Electrician via a favorable rating on a Houston services website. As promised in his website, Wade answered the phone and gave me an immediate quote based on the information I provided. We arranged a time. He was a bit delayed at a prior job, but immediately called me to say he'd be arriving a little later. There were a variety of electrical items. One was to fix a switch that the original electrician did not do correctly a few years ago when I re-wired the house. A few were to install new light fixtures and replace a ceiling fan. Wade spent extra time relocating a bathroom wall fixture so it lined up nicely with the sink. I also added on a few fixtures from our initial conversation, so his final price was a little higher than his original quote. But that final price was more than fair, considering that a few of the items were probably more time consuming than anticipated. Wade didn't waste time on the job. He got down to business immediately and concentrated on his work. I'd recommend Wade highly. I trust the quality of his work. He honors his word and doesn't use his quote to get a start on a job that he later inflates.
Description of Work: Installed several new wall and ceiling light fixtures. Repaired a bad ceiling switch installed by another electrician a few years earlier. Installed a new ceiling fan.

I was very impressed with Wade's work. The chandelier was difficult to work with, having 18 cables hanging at various distances that had to be readjusted, and it had to be hung from the ceiling of a 2-story entryway. It took me a while to figure out the various lengths we wanted for the different cables, but Wade was very patient and helped me work it out. Hanging the chandelier was extremely difficult; it weighs 50 lbs, and he had to hold it up with one hand while connecting the wiring. From start to finish, it took several hours, but he remained thorough and conscientious, even very carefully wiping any fingerprints from the chandelier. He clearly takes pride in his work. His price was very reasonable, significantly less than some other estimates I'd gotten. Even though he'd based it on estimating a couple of hours work, and it took almost twice that long from start to finish, he didn't raise it, so I just added on a large tip. Excellent job, we won't hesitate to hire him again!

Phones are answered; appointments are kept or rescheduled; work is completed. The quality of the work has thus far been quite good. What is fixed stays fixed. He has been onsite two or three times with more work to come when new fixtures arrive. What is installed looks nice and he makes small professional cuts in the sheetrock where necessary. Cleanup is perfunctory, but he is always under time pressure because he is in demand. His prices and work are just too good to allow me to be very nit-picking about scheduling and cleanup. He argues for safety and efficiency in lighting rather than just doing what the customer says to do. Which is probably a good thing. I feel safe with him in my home.
Description of Work: Installed several lighting fixtures, some where none had previously been located, some replacement only. He has no trouble removing and changing the style of lighting (from fluorescent to traditional, from small to large chandeliers, etc.) Removed an old security system box and wiring. Repaired recessed lighting fixture that had shorted out. Assessed positioning of central a/c thermostat and advised where it could and should be moved, if required. This electrician has worked in four rooms of the house, upstairs and downstairs.

He did an excellent job. There was a lot of cable wire inside and outside the house to be taken out. I gave him all of the equipment and cable that he removed, but he still charged me $150. I didn't think that was right after I gave him all of that nice equipment. I was just disappointed in his character.
Description of Work: He took down 6 security lights and a video security system.
