Very well
Description of Work: Jeff was very professional and came out to the house the same day I called. He worked late by coming to the house at 6:30 pm. He wrote up an estimate and then performed the work the next day. He updated some outlets in the kitchen and moved an outlet as well. He fixed an outlet in the hall and a light in the basement. The main reason we called was for our dryer which quit working. A wire in the basement had burned up and Jeff replaced it making it safer and therefore our dryer was in working order again.

Description of Work: We used Cole Electrical , and we where very impressed . We called Mike , and he came right out, with in a hour called back with a price , I approved the price, and they started 2 hours later . The crew was very friendly professional and respectful of our home . They completed the work , and walked me around showing me what was done , and asked if it was exactly what we wanted . During the work being done , Mike stopped out to check on the crew , and asked if I needed anything else while the men are there , I did a switch in a bedroom on a ceiling fan , and a front porch light . They replaced the switch at no extra cost , and a small charge to fix the front light . I would highly recommend Cole Electric and we plan to use them again for other work we will be doing in the next few months The work was done fast , clean , and to code and at the price quoted , and Mike followed up with a phone call the next morning to make sure all was well and we are happy with it . Thanks Guys a real pleasure working with you guys ! Kevin and Karin

Mike relocated a light fixture in our kitchen. He had a special cover plate for the unsightly hole, sparing my husband the task of drywall repair. He then fished cable wire through our attic and into our upstairs study. We asked him to do this "on the spot" and he had both the equipment and willingness to take care of it the same day. He was very friendly and did a professional job.

We had been having strange electrical flickers in the house and brownouts. Concerned that something might be wrong I called Mr. Cole after seeing him on this list. He responded immediately to my phone message and came out after I got home from work that same day (around 7 p.m.). He spent time to talk with us about our concerns and took us out to show us the various boxes and tests he was running. He and his assistant were professional, timely, friendly and knowledgeable.
Description of Work: Mr. Cole came out and did a run through of our electrical system to check it for problems. He also checked under the house and checked the power line from the electrical provider.

We could not be more pleased. Mike came out when he said he would to do an estimate. We received the estimate in a timely manner & he was able to start in a reasonable amount of time. They were polite & courteous. I felt comfortable asking questions & when I did Mike was happy to answer keeping me well informed. We would not hesitate recommending Cole Electric to anyone looking for a competent & honest electrician. We'll definitely call Mike for our future electrical needs.
Description of Work: They replaced the light fixture in our foyer & installed a chandelier in our family room. They also repaired/installed a few junction boxes & outlets in the attic and crawl space. Mike corrected reverse polarity & installed GFI in basement. He also took a look at our electric panel & made a few corrections in there as well.

I called Mike Cole for an estimate, we set a date and Mike showed up right on time. He gave me a very fair estimate and we set the date for the job. On job day he called and was running a little behind time, but showed up and did the entire job on the appointed day. The work was well done and Mike and his helper, Jeff were very professional, courteous and did a great job. I will be calling them in the future for certain.

They were very professional and went out of their way to act friendly and helpful. After living here 22 years, we've finally found the electricians that we'll want to use forever. I highly recommend Mike Cole and his team. They are first class.
Description of Work: Mr. Cole and his two employees worked approximately 9 hours on a variety of electrical projects. They replaced a broken baseboard-heating unit, replaced nine outdoor electrical lighting fixtures (six mounted high on our home and one in a tree), and revamped track lighting in my office by adding three new track heads. They also repaired three broken outlets inside our home. It would have taken less time if three of the fixtures hadn't broken as they screwed them into place. One large outdoor fixture for the tree was broken in the box. They were nice enough to run to the hardware store and return the broken lamp for a good one when I had to leave for a business appointment. They also traveled to an electrical supply company to buy a new baseboard-heating unit.

Mike responded to my initial call quickly, within one day. When he called one morning to say he could come out later in the afternoon, he meant it. He called again to let me know he was delayed, then came out at 7:30 and left around 9. He was very easy going, friendly, thorough and professional.
Description of Work: Mike replaced six electrical outlets and repaired wiring in a burned up outlet.

He showed up when he said he would. I felt safe and comfortable while he was in my house. He was professional and seemed very knowledgeable about his line of work. I felt much better knowing my wiring in the home is safe. He explained his service and answered any of my concerns. I didn't feel like he was trying to take advantage of me.
Description of Work: They checked the wiring leading to a ceiling fan and checked all the other wiring in our 2 story home.

I had built myself a woodworking shed and I couldn't do the wiring myself so I asked around and the guys at a local lighting place and they recommended Cole's to me. Mike really knew his stuff and did a great job. He even installed a breaker just for the shed, which was a great idea.

I was glad we could get him to do a little job for us. He is well known for doing all the wiring for new homes and very reputable. We had the old receptacles replaced. He also took down an old light fixture and put in a more modern one. We are very happy and would recommend them to anyone.

They did a great job, and it came as no surprise because they came highly recommended to me. He got the work done all in one day, which was nice. The quality of work was grade A, and when it was finished, it looked like it was done by professionals, and I guess that's because it really was.
Description of Work: I had them install 6 recessed lights in my kitchen.
