I'm Dennis, and I own Emerald State Electric. Emerald State Electric is a local owner operated small business. As the owner, I offer you personal one on one service that larger companies just can't provide. We only use our own in-house electricians, and never sub out your work to sub-contractors. I will personally meet with you on any job to go over your options and give you an estimate. With Emerald State Electric, you can count on all of our work being up to code, and installed with quality. Looking to update your Old Wiring, Knob and Tube Removal or a Panel Upgrade?

Description of Work: when services were performed, we had a small complaint, but dennis explained that he didn't have enough room from the attic to the kitchen, to put a particular light on its own switch. | |we accepted that and we thought we were very happy with the job. | |we are now gutting our bathroom. my contractor almost electrocuted himself as he removed the drywall between the bathroom and the studs. the room next to that wall is the kitchen, where dennis' worker installed two outlets. | |i wish i could post the picture of the junction box hanging behind the drywall of my bathtub with two wires hanging down, as it sparked when my contractor used an electric device to cut through drywall. | |this is illegal, out of code, and dangerous. that junction box should have been placed in the attic and the wires dropped between the two rooms. | |apparently they missed. | |i have tried to contact dennis via message from angie's list, which is how we've communicated before...and have waited to hear a response. | |it will now be incumbent upon us to take his worksheet for all of the 3600 dollars worth of work performed, hire another electrician and try to ascertain any other 'mistakes' his company has made.

Description of Work: Very punctual coming to home, looked at what I wanted done and found out it couldn't be done. He then told me there was another option that would work and I said I would love to do that. He said he would look into it and get back with me. That is the last I heard from him. Very disappointing because I was excited about the option he presented to me.

Response from Emerald State Electric
Hi, Thanks for the message/review. I believe that you may possibly have us confused with another electrical contractor. We have no record of any customer with your name or address. We also have no record of any appointments or service calls going to your address. All of our estimate as emailed out, and I did a search through our email database, and could not find an estimate with your name or address on it either. Could you have used a different name or address if/when you talked with us? Do you know which technician you may have spoken with? We would certainly want to hear from you and get to the bottom if this if you spoke with someone from our company, and did not get the proper follow up. Please let me who you may have spoken with, and I will get to the bottom of this ASAP.

Description of Work: Dennis had to bring the fuse panel up to code for a new water heater. He also had to install wiring from the panel to the heater which was in another room. He had to buy supplies. I was very satisfied with the work and the cost.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that we purchased. They were fantastic in terms of being timely. We called and they came the next day. He was super trustworthy. He didn't try to make up things that were wrong. He told us a very cheap way that we could fix our problem so we didn't feel like he was trying to get our business. We’ve already hired them again.
Description of Work: We used Emerald State Electric to do a whole service evaluation of our home because we were having a lot of problems with the circuits blowing.

As above, quick response, great work, and very professional.
Description of Work: He installed 2 motion sensor lights on the exterior of my building. He has done several jobs in the past for me, very good work, very nice gentleman. I highly recommend this company for their quick response, honesty, and great work. He gets to the job site on time, performs his work as scheduled, and as a small business owner I appreciate his punctuality and quality of work. This is a great company!!!

Overall, I was satisfied with the work. Dennis made sure the dimmer switch was compatible the track lights. The reason I gave a B on the price was because Dennis completed the work in 1 hr and 15 mins. and I paid $150 for 2 hrs of work. Not sure if I got my money's worth on the promo.
Description of Work: The work involved installing and wiring 2 track lights to replace the existing light fixtures in the family room including the dimmer light switch.

They were great. The estimate was comprehensive, they were punctual and very professional. They would stop the work to ask us what we preferred when there were some changes found once they started, kindly answered questions as we had them, and cleaned up after themselves before leaving. I would definately use them again and recommend them without hestation.
Description of Work: We have an old house and were wanting to upgrade some light fixtures in a bathroom we remodeled, convert a hot tub circut to outdoor outlets, and add additional lighting to two rooms.

I bought a coupon deal with Emerald State Electric for $150 for two hours of electical work. Dennis contacted me the next day to setup an appointment, even though he was out of state on vacation. Upon his arrival, we discussed my projects, and Dennis gave me a time and cost estimate. I had not purchased some parts that were needed to complete the job. So, Dennis drove to a local supplier to obtain the parts and quickly returned to finish the job. Dennis was professional, friendly, and completed my projects to my total satisfaction and within the estimated time and cost. I even learned how to use a dimming feature on a remote to my ceiling fan light. I really appreciate Dennis for not making me feel stupid for thinking the fan was broken. I will use Dennis again in the future!
Description of Work: I had two stairwell lights and two dimmer switches installed and troubleshooted problems with a ceiling light fan and two flush mounted lights.

Dennis was extremely professional and polite as he explained what I had done wrong and that nothing needed to be re-wired. He simply undid what I had done and wired it correctly. I had feared this was going to be a very costly repair and another contractor may have chosen to go beyond the required simple fix and re-wire everything to increase their revenue. Dennis did not play any of these games.
Description of Work: I made a mess of a small electrical job and needed help. I called Dennis at Emerald State Electric. He was able to quickly determine it was my "creative" handy work that had caused the problem. I thought a complete re-wiring was going to be needed. Lucky for me the fix was much simpler.

I am an architect and occasionally have the need to hire subcontractors for my own personal projects and also for my job. I have always hesitated when referring out any trade due to the fact that the subcontractor's performance could possibly reflect poorly on me. There are very few builders or subcontractors I feel 100% confident will do a excellent job. Emerald State Electric and Dennis Williams is one of them. I have never been disappointed both with referring him to clients and also using Emerald State on my own projects. I just know that Dennis will go out of his way to do an excellent job at a great price. He is awesome at troubleshooting existing problems and can also handle new jobs, both large and small. He goes out of his way to make the customer happy and is very pleasant to work with. He is a true professional!
Description of Work: I have used this company several times as a whole the following services were provided to me: The electrician listened to me as I described the problems I was having. He performed troubleshooting of my existing situation. They were very knowledgeable about current codes and the proper way of doing business. I asked for new circuits to be added and new breakers installed in the panel box. My panel was very unsafe and Emerald Electric made several inexpensive suggestions to problem solve my panel. After having them look at my existing electrical layout, I now feel very safe and am assured everything was done correctly. He even found problems that I was unaware of, brought them to my attention and gave me options. He bought quality materials and left everything neat and clean.
