I had no problem contacting Craig and arranging appointments both for the initial estimate and completion of the work. His estimate was clear and complete. He was neat and efficient in doing his work and communicated about additional work that was required before doing that work.
Description of Work: Installed two ceiling fans. Removed an old ceiling fan. Repaired ceiling around fans. Installed switches and outlets. Re-hung a hanging kitchen light.

I called Craig and he came in and he ran the line from the junction box in the basement to the kitchen on the next floor up. As I was in the middle of a kitchen remodel, he said it would best if he were to come back and finish up the work after the cabinets went in. He came in the next day after the cabinets were installed and the work he did looks great! All in all Staples Electric did great work and is very easy to talk to. I highly recommend them!
Description of Work: They ran a dedicated line for a new over the range microwave I purchased.

Eric is one of the finest young men we have ever dealt with! His father died during the time he was supposed to start our work and he called from New York to let us know that he would need to reschedule. He did not charge us for his time to go to Home Depot to retrieve a part, and did not charge us for the part as well. He is the kind of young man that everyone would like to have in their home! A++++
Description of Work: Eric from Staples Electric fixed our outside lighting, installed security light, fixed short in the circuit breaker.

I DID MISS INITIAL APPOINTMENT TIME. I HAD A COMPUTER PROBLEM THE NIGHT I SPOKE WITH THE MEMBER AND MISSED HIS APPOINTMENT SETUP. AS SOON AS HE NOTIFIED ME, I ASKED MY AFTERNOON APPOINTMENT TO CHANGE TO ANOTHER DAY AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION; THEY WHERE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SETUP ANOTHER TIME. CALLED THE MEMBER BACK AND TOLD HIM I WOULD BE THERE IN 20-30 MINS TO MAKE UP FOR THE MISS. AND, I REPLACED A POOL TIMER AND RECEPTACLE AT NO CHARGE, FIGURING IT WOULD MAKE UP FOR SOME OF THE MORNING STRESS. I EVEN TOOK CARE OF OTHER WORK ON THE WEEKEND TO TAKE CARE OF THE CLIENT, INSTEAD OF MY TYPICAL 1-2 WEEK LEAD TIME. I HAVE CALLED THE MEMBER ASKING IF THERE ARE ANY QUALITY ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE TAKING CARE OF DUE TO THE B RATING AND WAITING ON A RESPONSE. I'M NOT SURE WHERE A RESPONSIVENESS OF C COMES INTO PLAY.

Craig Staples is great to work with. He is totally on top of things. I was very impressed with how proactively Craig communicates. The work he did this time was not a big challenge, but he clearly takes pride in what he does. Also, on one of the jobs he estimated, he suggested a couple of other options that he thought might be better, and that did not involve his electrical services. That takes integrity. He's also an extremely nice guy. No hesitation in recommending his services. We'll work with him again, for sure.
Description of Work: Had a balky GFI outdoors that I replaced a year ago, then it quit again. So Craig replaced it. Said that water may have gotten into the receptacle, so he caulked it up tight. He also fixed an electric garage door that was not functioning properly. Finally, he estimated two other jobs.

Craig arrived promptly at the scheduled time. He first installed the bathroom fixture. He thoroughly cleaned up the area after the installation. The fixture has a mirrored backing...not a fingerprint was to be seen. Next, he started on the outside fixtures and found the code problem (lack of electrical boxes). He scheduled a return visit and completed the other installations. He cleaned up after each installation. Craig is very professional and helpful, and his rates are very reasonable. Most importantly, he is extremely proficient. I highly recommend Craig Staples to anyone who needs an electrician.
Description of Work: Craig installed a bathroom light fixture, and three outdoor light fixtures. He found that my old outdoor fixtures had not been installed to code (i.e., no electrical boxes had been installed by the builder). Craig had to make a return visit, since he needed to get additional boxes. He worked around my schedule to finish the job.

Outstanding! I called Craig Staples the day before he was leaving on a family vacation. We scheduled the job for the day after he returned a week later. Craig called me the night before (the same day he returned from vacation) to confirm the appointment, arrived on time, discussed alternatives with me, completed the work, explained what he did, tested the circuit and cleaned up in less than an hour.
Description of Work: Staples Electric inspected the GFCI electrical circuit in my kitchen and replaced an extra GFCI outlet with a standard outlet to correct a buyer's home inspector finding.

Craig arrived at 4pm (the exact time specified). While I wanted the switches in the bathrooms to function, my deaf/autistic son was more interested in having the switch to the garage function so that the outside lights and the animated polar bear would work. Craig discovered that one of the bathroom outlets was connected to the garage outlet and thus the outdoor lights would not function. He properly reconnected the two outlets, and replaced another which was totally nonfunctional. While working in one bathroom, my son decided to use the other, not realizing that Craig had to work on both simultaneously. Craig was very understanding of the situation, having children of his own (one even with the same name as my son). After a brief, but necessary delay, Craig was able to get everything straightened out.
Description of Work: Craig rewired two bathroom outlets and fixed the switch/outlet in the garage which opens and closes the garage door.

We called Mr. Staples at 1:00 PM, and he arrived before 2:30. He was professional, skilled, careful, respectful of our property, and helpful. He examined the panel for other potential problems, and he fixed a couple of loose wires. He completed the job in a timely manner. We recommend him highly.
Description of Work: They installed a circuit breaker in the electrical panel and connected it to a new circuit serving the microwave oven. They diagnosed and corrected a problem in a GFI circuit. They tested both circuits after repair. They advised on appropriate wiring for future installation of a bathroom fan/light.

Starting with the initial call, prompt estimate visit, and throughout the entire project, Craig was very professional, friendly, accommodating of other contractors, who created lots of drywall dust, and demonstrated excellent communication/people skills. Moreover, he provided multiple suggestions, which were gladly implemented, regarding additional switching/dimming capabilities to make control of the lighting more convenient. He was always on time and worked part of the weekend as well as, get this, part of the Thanksgiving day, to get the work done as soon as possible, as we wanted to start painting during the following weekend. Customer satisfaction was the number one priority during the entire process.
Description of Work: Craig, the company's owner, provided the materials for and installed 14 Lightolier recessed lights, including associated wiring and modern switches/dimmers, in our family room, kitchen, and two hallways. All of the numerous required wiring access holes were covered and surfaces patched, sanded and otherwise made ready for painting. He even "threw-in" installation (material provided by owners) of 25-foot-long connection between the main electrical panel and outside workshop sub-panel.

Craig Staples is a super electrician - and person. He not only did work we contracted for, but discovered our whole house surge protector had been installed incorrectly, drove off to get parts for it and re-installed it. He did not charge for any drive time - even for the unexpected mid-day trip. He was at the house a full day. He repaired and painted the wall he had to saw through - and brings his own vacuum cleaner for clean-up. He not only is a perfectionist in his work, but has emailed us with lighting solutions, recommended a restaurant, and relocated the largest spider I've ever seen to a woodpile outdoors! When I had to cancel our initial appointment, he phoned me (rather than my chasing him down) to reschedule. Customer service oriented to the nth degree.
Description of Work: Installed new outlet for large kiln and several other outlets. Installed ceiling fixture with fluorescent bulbs in workshop. Re-installed whole house surge protector.

Couldn't come the first time I called (family emergency). Came promptly when I called the second time; was on time, very polite and professional. Price seemed reasonable. When another plug turned out not to work after the repair, came out that same day, fixed the problem, and didn't charge anything.

Craig was the best electrician I have hired. He was on time, very neat and gave an honest opinion of my job. I will definitely hire him when I replace all the lights in our new house.
Description of Work: I wanted 2 ceiling fans installed. Electric was already in the ceiling, so assumed it would be a simple job. Craig Staples assessed the mounting and determined that it would require more materials and cost than originally stated. He advised that I not proceed with project, as the cost benefit would not be there.

Craig Staples was very dependable,(called when delayed)very pleasant and wanted to ensure I was pleased with work, particularly a couple of compromises we had to make. The work took twice as long to do, because of several unexpected blips (murphy's law was is high gear)and he adjusted his schedule to ensure, we'd get it done in the week promised. On top of all that, the cost was extremely reasonable. I would definitely high again.
Description of Work: Installed recessed lights and lights in closets. Adjusted two fans remotes which needed to be changed, as someone else's remote was turning them on. Also did several handyman chores, I needed done such as install wire shelf, move towel bars, hung some unusual items for me.
