We needed a light & fan switch moved from *behind* a bathroom door to next to it, so I texted Allen a picture of the problem area. After a quick over-the-phone estimate, we quickly set up a day for him to do the work. That day, he called when he was on his way, and in a couple hours, he'd completed the project. He did need to go get some parts, and it took a little longer than expected due to a few issues he encountered along the way, but the final price was 100% reasonable for the work done, all things considered. We'd definitely hire Butler Electrical again for any of our electrical needs in the future.

Everything went well...we got a detailed estimate and they were very helpful recommending fixture location and switching. The workers showed up on time, and cleaned up after the job. I got several quotes before doing the work, and Butler was right in the middle. The lights made a HUGE difference in the overall look and feel of our home. Would not hesitate to use Butler in the future for any electrical needs.

I went well. I have no do's and don'ts.
Description of Work: Installed under cabinet lights to replace those from original installation some years ago. The original under cabinet lights were single lights with bulbs about 3/4 inch long with two wire projections to fit into two tiny holes in the fixture - very difficult to replace. As a result, nearly half burned out, and thus the replacement. I went to Atlantic Electrical Supply and bought the proper number of lights which are longer lasting and need no replacement. When Butler Electric installed them, they would not accept payment until a wire connecting two lights was obtained and installed, and later returned to deal with a cable left in place - - without further charge.

Although I had quite quite a small job, the technician set up an appointment to come out and give an estimate within just a few days. Once the work was agreed to, he returned in a few days as promised and completed the work in a very quick and professional manner. He was happy to hear I learned about his business through Angie's List. Based on my experience, I would recommend this company without any hesitation.

Good.
Description of Work: Mr. Butler just completed one more home electrical project for me in a series of home improvement projects going back several years. In every instance his work he has been dependable, positive in approach and professional. Mr. Butler also has assistants who are qualified and professional working with him. Most recently he completed installation of an outdoor post light for me. More complicated than a typical installation, the project required removal of damaged underground wiring, installation of new wiring, along with a heavy six ft. post with a colonial light fixture. The project was completed in a timely manner. The finished colonial lamp and post is not only an improvement in lighting but an esthetic addition to the house entrance walk. On this visit Mr. Butler also replaced an interior exhaust fan and motor in a bath area. The price quoted was very reasonable for the work performed and included new parts and wiring for installation and labor. I would not hesitate to have Mr. Butler perform work for me again and would recommend him to any home owner or business requiring electrical work.

He responded promptly, then managed a tricky installation (The light fixture was positioned over a trapdoor, with little room for the ladder required and the risk of a fall for two stories.) This small job turned out as well as two big jobs in the past, when his professional advice also proved useful. His helpers are a cut above the usual, reflecting well on him.

He does outstanding work. This is the second time that I have used him. I would use him over and over again. It's hard to catch him when he is not busy. He has a lot of customers. He works hard to keep his prices competitive. He has people that work with him that are highly qualified. He is very efficient in his work. He gets his work done in a short period of time.
Description of Work: He has put in recessed lighting. He has installed extra outlets for outside. He has put in an motion detector light over my garage. Right now we are in the process of getting an outside post light.
