I called and left a message that I wanted a price for the work. My call was returned the same day and he visited my house the same week to see what was needed. We agreed on a price and scheduled the work to be done the next week. He arrived on time, did a great job and cleaned up after himself. I couldn't ask for more. He also priced running electricity to my pergola and installing some motion sensor lights in the yard but I couldn't afford to have that work done now but may have it done later. I will use this electrician again.
Description of Work: Installed owner provided ceiling fan, bathroom ceiling light and two exterior light fixtures, and provided and installed a light in the tub/shower.

He explained that he had forgotten. I indicated that I needed to move forward to get the job done as soon as possible. He advised me on some supplies to buy and I never heard from Mr. Tipton again. I called Mr. Tipton because he had done a job for me in the past (outside lighting). Although the price was a bit steep, the work was well done and accomplished on schedule.
Description of Work: Initial email to provider requested an estimate and start date to run electricity to an outside storage shed. I didn't get a response from the email so I called a few days later and he provided an estimate over the phone. Mr. Tipton also provided a start date to begin the work. When I did not here from him on the start date I called him several days later.

Over all I think it went well. I understood when the switches were replaced that it might or might not be the problem. Overall felt like Mr. Tipton did a good job and the price was okay. I would use him again to fix an electrical problem because I felt that he was honest, responded quickly and followed through on identifying the problem and fixing it.
Description of Work: I found the smell of burning plastic near an electrical switch. I called the next morning. Mr. Tipton came out the next day and explained that it was difficult to tell exactly what was wrong but he agreed something had burned and was smelling like burnt plastic. He replaced all three switches to the lights. Later that evening, I noticed the smell of burning plastic again. Mr. Tipton returned and found the problem to be a burnt out sensor in the outside light switch.

I called Troy based on his excellent reviews on Angie's List. He gave me a quote of $450.00 over the phone which was right in the ballpark with other quotes I got. He arrived promptly and went right to work. Because my floors are wood-laminate there was no room for error. He took very careful measurements of where the outlets would go then headed under the house to review the location of floor joists to see what accommodations would be needed. He was very precise in his cutting and spent quite a bit of time making sure the outlets would be perfectly flush with the floor and positioned perfectly. After all the wiring was completed, he positioned the power recliners, plugged them in and tested everything. When all was complete he vacuumed up the little bit of sawdust that was left. I was very pleased with Troy's work and would recommend him highly. As a bonus, his original estimate was right on the money.
Description of Work: Troy installed two double outlets in the floor of our great room.

My spouse surprised me with an upgrade of my poorly-lit sewing room. It should be said that my sewing room is the bonus room at the top of the house. That means there are 3' high knee walls on each side and a sloped ceiling components that terminate in a long,narrow band of flat ceiling the length of the room. The incandescent lighting simply added to the heat generated by my sewing machines - torture in the warm months! We'd also heard from Troy that he had found some whole-house surge protection that he approved of so that, too, was on our laundry list. I also wanted to get the service panel cleaned up and correctly labeled now that all the large projects were done. After Troy stopped by and looked over the job, I took his recommendations and went light fixture shopping. I was especially taken with a small, articulated 3-head LED fixture that could be mounted on the sloped ceiling over my sewing table. That LED fixture is now cleanly mounted over my sewing table and has a switch on the wall below it. Two fluorescent fixtures are in place on the ceiling. The electrical panel in the garage has a glowing green light that indicates the whole-house surge protection is functioning as it should and the electrical panel is organized and labeled.
Description of Work: (1) Install LED light fixture into sloped ceiling over sewing table, install switch on wall, patch/repair wall to conceal cut-outs (2) remove two incandescent light fixtures and replace with two each 4' fluorescent light fixtures (3) install whole-house surge protection in electrical panel (4) identify/correctly label house electrical panel

Troy was very prompt in providing an initial quote, courteous, and his price was better than several other companies. Work also began promptly. This was a very difficult and frustrating project, for me and Troy. It turns out he didn't know some of the problems/limitations of the Core Power generator, so what we had discussed in detail prior to me ordering the unit turned out to be somewhat inaccurate. Several appliances (microwave and toaster oven) which he said would be usable on the generator turned out to be a problem, and I had to have them removed from the load. A large, built-in cabinet below where he installed the breaker panel had to be removed (per the inspector), though Troy did not know of this in advance and so was unable to tell me about this. Once the cabinet was removed, unfinished walls and asbestos floor tiles are now exposed and will require add'l work/money to address. As the weeks went by on this project, his electrical work failed inspections at least 4 times, causing delays, frustration for me and Troy. The more failed inspections, the harder it was for me to get Troy back out to continue working on the project because he had numerous other jobs at the same time. Finally, an approved inspection occurred on 9/18/12, yet the system was still not functional for me because it was causing pulsing power surges that had the potential to damage my home-based business computer. Troy researched that, and eventually he purchased a power conditioner at no additional cost to me. He installed this on 10/5/12 and the job was finally completed. The generator goes through it's test cycle once a week, but I've not had a power outage yet to say whether the system will actually work as described. Very much to Troy's credit, he never tried to blame errors on anyone else, he didn't charge me more money than was originally quoted, and he did the right thing by buying the power conditioner to protect my computer.
Description of Work: Troy Tipton supplied the services required on the electrician's side for installing a 7 kw Generac Core Power Standby Generator with auto transfer switch. He also assisted me, advice-wise, in advance of the generator purchase as I wanted to be sure I was selecting the appropriate generator for my needs. He agreed to have the generator shipped to his address, and then he brought the generator to my house on 8/14/12, he poured a concrete pad, and began work officially that day. I would say the job wasn't officially completed until 10/5/12, so this was a very lengthy project.

Description of Work: Asked to check some outlets that wouldn't work. Did that and expalined what he was doing and how the outlet worked or did not work and why and how it was wired and what to look for in each instance. Repaired by replacement on two and simply cutting off old and brittle copper in another. Used some specialized tools to make sure one outlet was getting voltage.

Six days with no power and appliances full of spoiled food in the wake of Hurricane Irene moved my husband to announce our need for a whole-house generator. We knew it would be a large undertaking. As with all things electrical, we brought Troy in to help us formulate a solution. He assessed our household needs, recommended a 17Kw Generac unit from electricgeneratorsdirect.com and provided us with a quote for an installation to include the permit and calling for inspection. Several days later, Troy alerted us to a 30-day backorder for the 17Kw unit on the supplier?s website so we upgraded to the 20Kw unit that could ship immediately. I inspected the generator when it arrived at the local freight yard on a Thursday afternoon then met Troy there the following morning to bring it home. The 480+ pound solidly-packaged generator was loaded in to the back of Troy?s truck by a freight yard forklift operator ? then gently transferred from the truck to the generator pad behind our house with Troy?s lift system. Troy arrived at 8 a.m. Monday to begin pulling wire, mounting boxes and accomplishing all the prep work possible in order to minimize the power outage necessary to make the connections in the panel. His cabling is a thing of beauty ? always meticulous and organized. While he was working in the service panel, he also found the cause of our "dancing light syndrome" (a slow but consistent flicker of the interior lights) and corrected that problem. He arranged his tasks so as to be clear of the areas where the gas plumbers would be working to install piping and connect the natural gas supply line to the generator. Once all the gas and electrical connections were made, Troy programmed the unit?s control console and brought the generator to life, demonstrating what we would hear/see/experience when the primary power failed and the generator took over ? and how the generator would respond once primary power was restored. We turned on everything in the house that would load the generator in order for Troy to measure the amp load and declare it satisfactory. Troy will also be rendering any necessary service to the generator going forward. Where there once was a contractor-grade light fixture in our dim little laundry room there is now a very nice 4-tube fluorescent light Troy recommended that makes it possible to (as Troy expresses it) "tell navy from black." As always, Troy did a beautiful restoration job on the wall where the service panel is mounted. He never leaves a mess and his work is always detailed and thoughtful. Troy is our go-to electrician because he?s talented, personal, reliable and a (pardon the pun) well-grounded human being. We were incredibly fortunate to have found him!
Description of Work: Pick up generator upon its arrival at local freight terminal and deliver to generator pad at rear of residence. Obtain necessary permit(s) and call for inspections. Install generator and transfer switch, mount control boxes to house exterior, re-wire service panel as necessary. Remove existing light fixture in laundry room and install new 4-tube fluorescent light.

see above. I had questions, and an area that was difficult to get to as well as plaster walls. The finished work looks excellant. The lighting is improved and concealed. The areas were left in spotless condition. It was great to find someone who was patient with a smaller job and very flexible.
Description of Work: repaired and replaced 4 florescent light fixtures. I had very old fixtures that were failing. One in a bathroom and three concealed behind a valance in a dining room. All were difficult to reach and mounted in old plaster walls. Mr Tipton was very helpfull in using existing equipment and helping me to decide the most economic way to permanently replace in the dining room and replace in the bathroom knowing that area will be renovated within a few years. He was prompt, detail oriented and very tidy.

He showed up exactly when he said. The work took a little longer than he thought but not as long as I thought. About a day and a half. He was prepared with everything he needed to do the job. He consulted with me regularly to be sure he was doing exactly what I was expecting. He made recommendations on the floor outlet that I was pleased with. The outlet box he put on the side of my house was perfect with my vinyl siding. Looks like it has always been there. He took great care with my pond and the landscaping to have as little impact as possible. He did a nice job repairing the wall in the kitchen. The floor outlet is perfect. Exactly what I wanted and where I wanted it. You don't want just anyone drilling a huge hole in your hardwood floors. My crawl space is only about a foot and a half high. Terrible to work in. He spent a lot of time under there and never complained. He tightened up a loose outlet box he saw and fixed a cable I cut digging a hole. He is professional and did what I asked for, recommended improvements in the plan when he saw them. Very knowledgeable in residential electrical work. He billed me the estimate exactly. I will definitely use him again. I recommend highly. So high, I sent him next door to my neighbor to do some work when he finished with me.
Description of Work: Troy did a lot of work on my house. He added three outside outlets around my pond and patio. This involved digging into my landscaping, adding a breaker, and running wire under the house. It was difficult work. I have a fish pond and a lot of landscaping.and a big tree with lots of roots. two outlets were self standing outlets in the landscaping and on was on the side of the house. Then he put in a recessed outlet in the center of my living room hard wood floors and added a rough in for a new kitchen light. The rough in included running the power, cutting drywall, and rewiring an existing switch.

Troy arrived at exactly the time he said he would as he returned for a repeat performance in our ongoing campaign to update our home. More contractor-grade lights fixtures have been replaced with tasteful new ones in my quest to banish all brass that came with the house when we bought it. There is now a flat screen TV mounted securely on the wall in the kitchen - complete with meticulously-organized cabling. Troy's guidance gives us the ability to formulate clear solutions to some lighting and electrical challenges and we will be calling him back soon to put those solutions into place.
Description of Work: Remove and replace five interior light fixtures, remove and replace exterior light at front of garage, install dimmer switch at bottom of main staircase. Mount flat-screen TV bracket to wall and TV to bracket and modify cables to fit between TV mount and the wall. Evaluate and advise as to lights for garage interior and sewing room. Evaluate exterior outlet on the deck to be split out on a separate circuit.

I'm so pleased that I just can't stop bragging on this talented individual. Several times I've opened the pantry doors just to hit the switch and admire the now-bright interior. Troy is easy to work with, calls/shows up when he says he will and has a knack for turning "electrical" into "English" - a blessing when I'm trying to communicate to him what I'd like to see accomplished. Troy will be returning to take care of several more projects as we settle into our new home. He is officially our "speed-dial" electrician and will be the one we call going forward.
