John showed up right on time, did all the work I requested, and was cordial and professional. After he left, I notice an adjacent switch to one that he had installed no longer worked (it was something I had installed previously) and he immediately returned to see what the problem was. As it turned out, a wire had pulled loose and he fixed it quickly. I would highly recommend John, and intend to hire him again in the future.
Description of Work: I had a couple of electrical switches that needed to be moved to an adjacent wall, as well as a couple of complicated three-way programmable dimmers to install.

Not only did John call me on the same day I called him but he came out that day to start the job! I had been searching for John for some time now. I'd had used him when I first came to Vermont. He had left the state briefly and the number I had for him was disconnected :(. John explains what he is going to do. He cleans up after himself. He is very professional. He had to come back with additional materials on a second day but he trouble shot the problem before going onto his next job. All I can say about John is that you get what you pay for. John came in and fixed my problems another person had done. I'm am extremely happy. In a way I don't want to write this review as I'm afraid John will become so busy it may be hard to contact him in the future. I realize though good services are hard to find. Do your self a favor and at least give him a call before using someone and having to repair what was not done correctly.
Description of Work: Repaired kitchen outlets and dining room light.

It required removing old unit and cutting a hole to install a metal junction box to make the unit up to code. He was on time and professional. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a competent job.

John was very thorough. He explained what he was doing. His work was neat and clean. We have not had any electrical problems since John completed the work. Although the cost was expensive I dont have any reason to believe that Johns hourly rates are out line with the market place.
Description of Work: John assessed the electric problems we were experiencing. His recommendation was to replace the circuit breaker panel. He also installed a light in a closet.

I'm very happy with the outcome . The price was very fair. John was responsive to my phone calls and showed up when he said would, thought creatively about the possibilities in my very old house where nothing is straightforward, and before he left he did a great job of cleaning up the work area.
Description of Work: John replaced two bathroom wall light fixtures and put in a wall switch to control them.

We contacted a few electricians in the area to see if they were available to do this work. We contacted Draper Electric and explained what we needed and provided him with a copy of the inspection report. John came out the very next day to look at first-hand what needed to be done. He came out when he said he would and called us to say that it would take a half-day to make all of the repairs. He also said that he could complete the work that day if we wanted. The quote that he gave us was very fair. Based on some other work that we had done recently by another electrician, his quote was about half what we had expected the repairs to cost. When we got home that day, the work was finished and he had even left us an itemized invoice without us needing to ask for one. Overall, John was professional, competent, prompt, and provided a high level of service. John actually came out and had already completed the work before one of the other electricians we contacted had even returned our call. If the need ever arose, we would definitely hire John do other electrical work for us.
Description of Work: We are selling our house and had a half-dozen electrical issues identified in our inspection that the buyer wanted repaired. These included correcting grounding issues with outlets throughout the house; fixing two double-tapped circuit breakers in the panel; tracing an exposed wire and terminating it according to code; fixing two outlets with hot neutrals; and correcting how the service was grounded to the water main. Draper Electrical came out and took care of all of these repairs promptly and professionally.

Experience went well. He was prompt, pleasant and efficient, prices very fair.
Description of Work: We had an electrician friend do some work to in our basement (install wiring, outlets and lighting fixtures) and called Mr. Draper to put the finishing touches on this work and also to install a fixture in our bathroom. Called him and he responded the same day. He arrived as scheduled. Had a very pleasant demeanor and got right to work. Results were excellent.

Description of Work: John Draper of Draper Electric. I contacted him through his ad in the Washington World. He promptly returned my telephone message. He only works on Saturday's which worked fine for me. He arrived on time and introduced himself. I needed him to fix a electric room heater and outside flood lights. He went about diagnosing the cause of the problems. He had the parts he needed or was quickly able to procur them. He did not make a mess and explained what we was doing the entire time. I plan on having him return for some more work.
