After getting 5 different electrical estimates I ended up choosing Aim High Electric because they were the only electrical estimate that offered to install my new awning breaker line through my attic instead of around my house from the garage breaker box. In the end this led to less electrical line on the exterior and will allow them to come back out and patch into the breaker to power my awning electrical. Yeah I liked their services so much I'm calling them back out in about a month for more work. Jim is the owner and he does electrical by code which is great and will listen to your ideas to give you the best by the book solution that will be the safest option as well. Many of the electrical estimates by awning companies were handymen that would just tap into my existing porch light line. Luckily Jim explained how in the long run it could lead to constant breaker trips and some fixtures not working because there was too much demand on the circuit. Now I feel safe plugging in my new ceiling fans, lights, and maybe some electrical heaters on my patio in the winter. I can do this because I have an entire breaker added now just for my new zone. Another reason I like Aim High Electric is they are problem solvers. I really wanted my floodlight on the middle of my garage because it would look better and the lights would provide better lighting. The electricians noticed an issue when trying to complete my Floodlight install because my main garage support beam was in the way of their center electrical line install and drilling into that is not recommended or safe. They brain stormed though and found another way to install the floodlight using a bell box and coming in from the soffit ceiling above. The light looks and functions great. My last praise would be the quality of their work. The conduit lines that were run on my exterior are works of art. The hug my siding great and do not standout as an eyesore. When they are painted they will look even better. If you are looking for an electrician that can take on tough jobs and do them right Aim High Electric is the company for you. They even provide free estimates so why not give them a call?
Description of Work: 1 GFCI Breaker added and ran through my attic from my garage to the back patio for a new awning. 1 GFCI plug added for Holiday and yard lights. 1 Floodlight installed in the middle of my garage.

Ended up having to hire a new company because this company did not do their job. They sent this company out to us and I am absolutely upset and grateful of that decision. We had American home shield send us these guys when we first made the service request when I tried to call them that day all you get is an answering machine you don’t get an actual person, That was the first issue the next issue was he came to our house and basically told us it was our lightbulbs which is very confusing because any time you cut the light switch off the lights were cut back on and anytime you try to unscrew the lightbulbs the other side of the room would like back up even if it was off. that was the first issue the next issue was he came to our house and basically told us it was our lightbulbs which was very confusing because any time you cut the light switch off the lights were cut back on and anytime you try to unscrew the lightbulbs the other side of the room would light back up even if it was off Third issue was whatever he texted me about the service he was very nasty and extremely rude and basically said I knew nothing about being an electrician ....... wow Long story short we have a huge deal now because we had to hire a new company to fix our lighting because two of the sockets actually burnt up in the middle of the night. I will be very cautious on hiring this company they’re not a reparable company

First, let me preface this that Aim High was assigned as the contractor by American Home Shield. Jim from Aim High Electric showed up in a timely manner. He listened to me describe the problem with the open neutral and within a short time, he had located and fixed the problem. He was knowlegdeable, professional, and friendly. I plan on using him for non-warranty work as well when needed.

Jim arrived at the time expected and had the parts necessary to complete the job. He was friendly and completed the work quickly. I am not sure the total cost of service. I paid my $75 co-payment and any additional was covered by my home warranty plan.
Description of Work: Repaired doorbell that was not functioning.

We arranged for service through the home warranty company and they chose the contractor, Aim High. The appointment was originally set for Thursday, but they begged off till Friday. Then they begged off from a morning appointment to the afternoon. (If I didn't work from home, this would have been a big headache and likely would have changed my satisfaction level quite a bit.) When the electrician arrived, he immediately went to work. He probably was in our house less than 15 minutes. When he was done, the doorbell worked great. Since we had paid through the home warranty, there was no extra fee for this service. When he arrived at our house, he immediately handed me a business card to identify himself. He was neat and professional. (THAT SAID, I prefer these types of contractors to be in some type of shirt or uniform that goes with the territory and to have their vehicle marked with at least a sign showing who they are with. This gentleman was wearing "street clothes" and driving an unmarked pickup truck. This doesn't give me the warm fuzzy I'd like from a security point of view.) He did his work, was personable, answered questions and didn't dawdle. In and out in a flash and knew just what to do.
Description of Work: Our doorbell was not working. Aim High came, diagnosed the problem as a bad transformer, and replaced it. Door bell works great now.

they came out within a day or two and provided a good estimate and agreed they could do the job that weekend. I had something come up and called to let them know I couldn't do it for a few weeks. When I did call back, I got a return call that the gentleman said can I help you and then said, I have to call you back. Sounded very confused and/or very busy. I left 2 subsequent messages and when I did get a call back was told they couldn't get to the job for at least 2 weeks. No problem, moved on to another company that had time to do the job. I had no real issues with this company and am confident had they had the time would have done a great job.
Description of Work: Initial call was to get an estimate for some electrical work and rehang a ceiling fan.

Jim arrived on time and answered questions I had about our new home and what would be cost effective to fix. He was very professional, thorough and honest. He told me what needed to be fixed, and what would be really expensive and not worth the money. He did a great job and kept my pocketbook in mind. I would highly recommend Jim to anyone and will call him again with any electrical needs.
Description of Work: Replaced GCFI in bathroom, checked outdoor lighting wiring, fixed double tapped wires in breaker box.

I did use an electrician that was very good He was reasonably priced and he was very helpful. We had to call Centerpoint and have them come out and he waited until they got there He left and then I called him and he came back and it was like after hours, it was probably 7:00. He was very honest and didn't try to tell me there was more wrong than there was and he came out and gave an estimate, like a free estimate which I appreciated because everybody else was charging like $200 just to come out.
Description of Work: Aim High Electrical replaced my main breaker on my electrical box.

Although Jim had a full schedule, he was able to work in time to stop by to look at an issue that was causing the pool light and waterfall pump to be inoperable. I was not able to be at the house at the time Jim arrived, so I explained (as well as I could) over the phone what the problem was, and where I thought the electrical issue was originating. Jim was able to quickly diagnose the source of the problem, and repaired the GFCI circuit that was failing.
Description of Work: Troubleshooting an issue with outdoor GFCI circuit serving the pool. Repair GFCI circuit and replace outlet(s).
