WILDERNESS ELECTRIC INC

Very well. Terrific communication. If you have to have someone invading your space allow these guys. They're efficient, respectful, tidy (as much as one could expect with all that work) & fun!

Let me start by saying this company was highly recommended by my employer, who had used their services in the past.. I got estimates from 3 other companies, but I failed to get one from Wilderness. When I asked the women I spoke to on the phone about getting an estimate, she told me they charged 150.00 per hour so I didn't need an estimate. Based on the other 3 estimates I received, I knew the work would take about 5 hours to complete. What she failed to tell me was that $150.00 per hours PER PERSON. The sent 2 workers to my home. In retrospect, I own that I should have insisted on an estimate. So, they arrive to do the work and all goes well. Until I receive the bill. I call the company to voice my complaints about the lack of transparency in their billing. I never asked for a refund, nor did I tell them to how they should price their work. I just told them, I would have appreciated to know up front, the $150.00 rate was based on 2 people. The guy I spoke to sounded annoyed and put out about having to deal with my criticism. The final bill from Wilderness was over $400.00 higher than all the other estimates. Fast forward to the following Monday, I call the company to tell them that one of the five outlets they changed, didn't work unless you turned on the light switch. They tried to tell me, that my husband wanted it set up that way.. There is no way my husband would ask for this set up in one room and not the other fours rooms. As we go back and forth over why my husband who works as an Electrical Engineer, wouldn't know what a "always" hot outlet means is IMPOSSIBLE. At some point in the conversation, I had to tell this man.. "We aren't stupid people" The bottom line, they wanted more money to come out and correct the outlet. I refused and paid another company for their service. As a customer.. respect, money and my time go hand in hand. I would NEVER recommend this company to anyone. They are overpriced and hard to deal with.. There are better companies out their for your money.

They were booked out for about 3 weeks, which tells me they are in high demand. The electrician (Steve) showed up on the date promised and performed all work correctly. He also cleaned up after himself. We had an issue with the car charging station a couple of days later (I may have caused it), but Steve came back out and fixed the problem at no additional charge.

We compared a couple of electrical contractors and went back and forth with each on materials and approach, and we looked at years in business, local versus not as local and responsiveness during the process. We worked closely with Rick on creating the proposal, and in the end we chose Wilderness based on their experience, presence in the local community, and their proposal. They were not the cheapest, but they recommended the use of EMT (which was the bulk of the cost difference over PVC) since this was an open barn and much of it would be visible. This would make it much more attractive and last longer than PVC. Once the work started, working with Steve was awesome. He worked with us patiently as we needed to make decisions along the way, and he was able to make suggestions and give us options that made our decisions very simple. This was definitely a case where you get what you pay for. Steve is a master at what he does, and the way he bent and routed the EMT around the barn is still awesome to look at. We love the results, and would definitely hire them again!

They were extremely professional and courteous. They did a very good job!

When i called for a quote i was quoted 125 per hour and it would take about 1 and 1/2 hour to complete. The worker was here almost 1 and 1/2. When the worker was done he presented me a bill for $250.00. All the material for the job was supplied by me so all the cost was labor.

I needed my dish washer wired and they did a great job of explaining how they would handle it and were friendly and professional. Would use them again.

Not only did they make sure everything was connected properly, they went out of their way to make sure we knew how to run the generator and made sure all the appropriate areas being serviced by the generator worked properly as well.

I had Wilderness come out and install two dimmer switches in rooms in my house, a timer for my front porch light and run HDMI cabling for my HDTV. Steve was on time and very efficient. Work was done in a timely manner and he offered to clean up where some debris had fallen on the floor while installing the switches. I would definitely recommend this company.

The response to my call and the service was wonderful.

The owner asked me several questions and then called my husband to discuss the issue, as he was home for the day. He had a electrician available that afternoon, but wanted to prevent a charge for a simple fix. Lo and behold after a little investigation on the phone, my husband discovered a GFCI outlet in the garage which was the source of our issues. I really appreciate his willingness to troubleshoot the issue. We are not former customers, but he treated us like very valuable customers. Kudos and we are now customers.

They were here most of the day. I was really happy. I am going to have to back. The price was fine.

Most knowledgeable of the three estimates. Did a good job on time and without glitches.

The panel replacement went fine. There were additional costs related to a broken bracket where the electricity comes into the house. We have a 40 year old house, so the bracket is obsolete. They took the time to find a used bracket from their stock, rather then replace the whole box. Which would have required getting the local electric company involved and additional costs.

I tried to schedule with him and asked that they take a break from 11:30 to 12:00 for lunch as I would not be home.I told him although he probably trusts his workers, I did not feel comfortable with someone I did not know or ever met being home alone in my house. He said this would not be possible and that it was too much of an inconvenience. I told him that I would check and see if there was another time available but after taking some time and considering his lack of customer service I decided to go with someone that was rated favorable on Angies list. When I told The owner Rick this he said I was a flake and this was why he did not like dealing with people like me. I had considered working with him in the future but obviously not now. They were about 120 cheaper than the people I decided to go with but I think the extra money was definately worth it.

Wilderness Electric was punctional. Everything was taken care of in a very short time. I would use them again in the future without question.

They are very great. They are extremely punctual and if they are going to be late at all they call and let you know. They do great work and they explain everything very thoroughly.

He was good and didn't mind me working with him. He listened to my opinion and knew his stuff. They charged with a half hour travel time in addition to the hour of work.

They are professional, punctual, and efficient in getting their work done. We will be calling them back to the house.

Cost was high, but I really believe that you should expect to pay a reasonable price for quality service. We were very happy with the end results. The project was complicated and they stepped in when another contracted had dropped the ball. They were willing to deviate from the original plan, did the work professionally and got done within a days everything that we needed. Previous contractor had spread out the project for weeks and left us hanging. Wilderness left the area clean when done, locked up the house (no cats escaped!), and set up a meeting with the county inspector the next day and took care of the paperwork. It was because of these guys that I became a member on Angies List, and am willing to pay a little extra for professionalism. I plan on using them again within the next 6 months. Sometimes people may expect that being an Angie's List member you'll get a cheaper price. I personally care more about the service am willing to pay a little more for it.

Our experience was overall good. Merrick, our electrician, did a good job, though I thought the price was a little high. Total time on job was about 8 hours over two different days and we supplied the conduit and light fixtures. I initially had to call Rick back several days after he said he would get back to me with an estimate.

Highly recommended. Prompt, extremely knowledgeable, fast, and reasonable cost. Very pleased with their service.

Rick Nestor's estimate was the lowest by $1400. His crew of three were on time, very friendly, and answered all my questions in terms I could understand. It was also fun to watch their bantering and friendly kidding with each other. That told me they enjoyed their job and working with each other. They also did a great cleanup, and everything works perfectly. They also showed me two outdoor wall lights, that weren't up to code. They took them down and installed a junction box, where I could install any light I wanted, at no extra charge. I wish I could remember their names. Owner Rick Nestor called me several times to see how things were going, and even helped me, when I had problems with the inspector and PSE. Rick and his crew went, above and beyond.

I WAS OUT OF IDEAS AND GAVE THEM A CALL. THEY CAME RIGHT OUT THAT DAY. STEVE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS WRONG AND WENT RIGHT TO WORK. HE WAS QUICK AND EFFICIENT AND I WAS HAPPY TO HAVE ELECTRICITY BACK IN MY KITCHEN.

VERY PROFESSIONAL. WORK IS ONGOING BUT SATISFIED THAT IT IS PROGRESSING WELL. ORIGINAL WIRING OF SEPTIC PUMP DONE INCORRECTLY. WILDERNESS IS BRINGING PROJECT UP TO CODE.
