The work was excellent. Baron provided an accurate estimate and I feel he is 100% trustworthy and honest - probably the most important thing for a service provider. He was on time, he worked hard, and he delivered a product that was functional as promised, and also aesthetically pleasing. For future electrical work, Best Built will be my first call.
Description of Work: Baron rewired my hot tub's connection to the main breaker panel, installed a new spa disconnect box, and added some outdoor lighting.

They did a good job. They're responsive and Baron the owner of Best Built he's personable and very trustworthy. He's fair, straight forward and really cozy on what's going on. He's very professional, he did a great job like when he's doing an estimate he really spent time going throughout the whole area and checking out what's going to waste to accomplish the work the best way. As far as clean up and everything you almost couldn't tell they were there when they left because it was really well done.
Description of Work: They replaced our drywall from the water damage.

This was not a positive experience. He complained about Angie's List causing him a loss of profit. He installed outside lighting and then took a lunch break. I was as fault for not having the chandelier on time. However he left before the purchased time period. I found the chandelier right after he left but he stated he was almost home and he would have to come back but it would I would incur additional costs. I didn't feel he gave me the typical service I have received from Angie's List.
Description of Work: He was to install outside lighting and interior chandelier. But he only installed outside lighting.

Response from BEST BUILT ELECTRIC INC
I'm sorry, but this is the most unfair report imaginable. This client bought a Big Deal coupon and paid half our typical hourly rates for service. She lived very far from our normal coverage radius, and was unprepared for the service even when scheduled in advance. I performed all the work we could, since she could not find the last light fixture in her extremely sloppy and overcrowded packrat home. Calling when I'm almost home to say she found it was of course unreasonable and not our fault or responsibility to return that day. She received a fantastic deal and to complain about our performance when she was unable to have her fixtures there during our visit is grossly unfair. She paid for a limited number of hours in the Big Deal, and exceeding those hours was not part of the agreement. We installed all the fixtures she provided properly and courteously, even with garbage and obstacles in our work area. Frankly, I would not want to work in such a pig sty again. I'm sorry, but the client has a responsibility to be ready for the technician with her fixtures there, and to be reasonable about allowing access to work without having to move huge amounts of junk from our path in the work area, and to respect our time by not expecting us to sit around for hours and wait for the client to find a fixture she cannot find. Anyway, she said she would call us when she found it, and I of course told her a return visit would be additional, since she already consumed her Big Deal hours. Calling me when I am home from work to turn around and return is not entirely reasonable.

I was looking for an electrician to install an additional outlet in my kitchen, as well as repairing a number of outlets that were not functioning. Despite a claim on their website that they answer all calls during business hours, my call was not answered so I left a message. In addition, I sent an email, to which I receive a canned reply that I would hear back by the next day, which would have been fine. I never heard back by phone or email. Pretty disappointing considering the high ratings they have on Angie's List.

The electrician disclosed his rates over the phone when setting up the appointment. He was punctual and professional. After testing, he determined that the well pump breaker at the fuse box was good, but that the issue was a bad well pump. When he was finished, he took the extra step to list out the various 30 year old breakers in the fuse box that should be updated.
Description of Work: The electrician elevated and tested a well pump breaker .

GREAT! I purchased a Big Deal from Angie's for $399 for an electrician for a day (7 hours) and I couldn't be happier with the results. It makes me so happy when I find a company that gives A++ service and that is exactly what I got from Brian of Best Built, Inc. Brian went over and beyond the call of duty for me. First, Brian arrived on time and ready to work. We did a small walk through and I showed him what I needed / wanted done and he got started on the garage - let me just say that my garage is a disaster zone and I wasn't sure he would even be able to do the work but Brian assured me that it was no problem and went about his business installing the outlets. He moved things as needed and made sure that everything was replaced after he was done. Next, He went on to install my outdoor plugs and even gave me a quick electrical 101 explaining things about the switches and outlets as he installed them. I had casually mentioned to him that I wanted the outdoor outlets to run a fountain on my front porch and he explained, in detail, to me that the outlet inside the house that he would be working off of it install the outdoor one was a split outlet (I think that is what he called it) meaning that the it was hooked up to an on/off switch by the front door so we could turn lights on and off without going over to the lamp. This, he said, would cause a problem with the fountain because every time the switch was turned off the fountain would turn off but he went on to work his magic and made it so only one half of the outlet was run by the switch so the outlet outside (the fountain) could run independent of the switch. Well done and thank-you Brian, by listening to me and taking the time to explain everything you saved me a lot of hair pulling trying to figure out why the fountain kept shutting off. At the end of his day Brian also remembered me showing him a motion sensored light switch my husband had bought but never installed in my laundry room. I wanted it because the light switch was, for some reason, installed on the far side of the laundry room and I had to walk across in the dark to find it. He asked me if I would like him to install it for me before he left ... which he did!. Brian was polite, professional, friendly and a GREAT electrician. I would not hesitate to hire BEST BUILT again or recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: Add 3 outlets inside my garage, 3 outdoor outlets on my front porch and installed a motion light switch in my laundry room.

I call this provider prior to purchasing the "Big Deal" for a full day of electrician. I wanted to make sure what I wanted could be done with the deal before purchasing. I spoke to Baron for about 15 minutes. He told me about their great reviews on Angieslist, and said they would work quickly and do things to be as frugal as they could for us (ie they wouldn't tell us work needed to be done that didn't) which I appreciated as were on a tight budget. He told me that there were great ways to get things done safely that would save lots of time and money and explained in detail what we should purchase in advance of his visit. He sounded very knowledgeable. He also told me that they worked Saturdays (which I saw from their angieslist details. I appreciated this as I work weekdays. This was the biggest sell for me. I purchased the deal, then attempted to schedule the 7 hour visit. Once I did. I was told that "angieslist said that the deal had to be used during normal business hours, and that weekends weren't included in the normal business hours" I got a refund from PayPal, as angieslist never responded to my request for refund. I felt like hours of business should have been brought to my attention before hand, because the hours listed on their page are not the same.

Response from BEST BUILT ELECTRIC INC
This was Best Built's first "Big Deal" with Angieslist. It is true that Our company often works on weekends for full-paying clients that have emergencies. The details of the "Big Deal" offer stipulate "normal business hours" . We were sorry we could not extend weekend service under this coupon deal, but we could not, under the terms of the Big Deal rules. We regret that any client be disappointed due to those terms. Regarding refunds, Best Built has no control over monies paid directly to Angieslist. We suggest any request for a refund be channeled directly to Angieslist. Best Built Inc is happy to refund our share of any coupon not honored, regardless of the reason.

The ground fault switch in our bathroom would not work so I replaced it and it still did not work. That's when I called Baron at Best Built. As several circuits were out it was important to get the problem solved quickly. Baron came over after a regular work day and traced the problem to a poor connection, I would never have found it! He was very responsive and of course knowledgeable. I don't mind paying for good service and this was good service.

I left a message on Sunday and received a call back the same day. The electrician, Brian, came out as scheduled and did a great job repairing the doorbell and switching out a thermostat. He also gave us some good advice about purchasing a portable generator. Almost the entire cost of the service was for repairing the doorbell, which had to be re-wired in the crawlspace. It works like a charm, but I was shocked at how much it cost to repair. Almost $500 to install a new doorbell I bought at Lowe's? Who would have thought?? If I were to need an electrician in the future, I would definitely contact Best Built because I am pleased with the quality of work they did. I would, however, shop around a little more to compare rates.

Fully professional on all work - Willing to talk with me (owner) to determine the best approach to fill my needs as the owner. Work was good and neat, all construction waste cleaned up and disposed of. A problem with the stove outlet was detected the next day when the stove was delivered - He returned that evening, after hours and on his own dime - Tested the circuit and the outlet and determined that the new outlet was of faulty manufacture. He replaced that outlet at no additional cost. I feel that I received excellent service from this company and will use them for any future electrical needs.
Description of Work: split the phase on 240 service to my old electric stove and installed new 110 outlet to service new gas stove installed new 240 plug in my shop and helped me hang a new electrical heater replaced/up-graded 3 motion security lights on house and shop and upgraded the front porch light

Baron and Steve arrived on a Sat to check out why our lights were flickering/surging. And to troubleshoot why some of the outlets were not working. Good job listening and checking the powerpanel and outside PSE connections. Determined to be coming from outside of our house and made recommendations for working with PSE. Found and reset a GFI. Gave other general recommendations. Very knowledgable, easy to work with. Would definitely call them in the future.

Description of Work: I asked that an outlet be placed in the front of my garage. I originally wanted it on the outside of my house but he explained that what i wanted it for would require that a big black box be attached to it and would be better in the front of the garage. i hadn't thought of that. he did the work in less than an hour and the price was great.
