Curtis was just as professional this time as he always is. He's the only electrician whom we'll use. I have had him wire two new houses, and he has worked on a few remodels I have done. He's top notch. One of Curtis's great strengths is that he always asks WHY. This is essential for economy, safety, and peace of mind. Many electricians do not ask why enough! Curtis was cheerful, fun to work with, funny, and serious about his work at the same time. He got a lot done for us in a short time and we are fully confident that his work was correctly done. Curtis is very clear in his knowledge of the electrical code - and he carries more of this knowledge with him than other electricians I have worked with in the past. Again, he's the only electrician we'll use.
Description of Work: Curtis Tillmon installed five or six thermostats for 240 volt in-wall heaters throughout the house. He also tested two heaters.

It was a very positive experience overall. We were glad that we read previous reviews, which were very positive and we concur with them
Description of Work: Light switches and electrical outlets in rental unit were no longer working. They had been fine a few hours before. Curtis checked over our electrical box and other sources that could cause the problem. He narrowed it down to a new ground fault interruptor switch in the bathroom. He then replaced it and fixed wiring problem, which then solved the mystery and all the outlets and switches were operational again. He wore booties each time he entered the house and explained exactly what the problem was and what he was doing to correct it. He also checked into the feasibility of adding another electrical outlet in the kitchen and gave us an estimate. He was extremely polite and pleasant to work with. Would definitely use him again.

Our overall experience from start to finish with CST Electric was terrific! Curtis came to our home soon after I requested a quote. He was professional on the phone as well as in person. The day of the estimate and the day he performed the work, he wore protective shoe coverings in order to keep the floors in our home clean. He needed to look in the attic to assess the part of the job of installing the electrical connection for the fan. In doing so, he helped me drape a cloth in the closet to protect our clothes from any loose insulation that would fall from accessing the attic space. He offered suggestions on how/where we could locate the ceiling fan in our bedroom for maximum benefit. He inspected the fan and wiring to ensure he knew if anything special needed to be addressed before the install. He was very good about advising me of any issues that could come up during the job and he assured me that these instances were few and far between; the job would most likely be easy and routine. The day he arrived to install the fan he was ontime. He installed the electrical connection in the ceiling, a new switch on the wall, and assembled and installed the fan. Once the fan was up, he made adjustments to ensure it functioned quietly. He thought of all the details. He did the job as if it were in his own home. He cleaned up after completing the job. It was as if the fan had always been there and no work had been done! We have since called CST Electric about a couple other jobs we are assessing for our home; no hesitation in using them again. We have and will recommend CST Electric to other people.
Description of Work: We had a ceiling fan installed and an electrical connection to power the fan.

Curtis is great to work with. He arrived promptly for both the estimate and the work itself. He is professional, takes care to not leave any mess behind and does high quality worked. I particularly appreciated that Curtis kept me up to date during the process and took the time to go over what he was doing. I will definitely do business with him again.

Curtis was great. Took time to explain what he was doing and what he was thinking. Fixed everything quickly. Also gave me some great advise and answered even more questions about electric issues in general. Ran to get a part and didn't dock me for that time either.Finding him has paid for my subscription here for sure and I no longer need to look anywhere else for anything electric.Thanks again!

Curtis came out on a Saturday after I told him we were desperate! He was on-time, efficient, knowledgeable and politie. He completed the job quickly and spent extra time double-checking and looking at clothes dryer. Curtis also gave us an estimate on the installation of fans and an outlet in the garage. We will proceed with this work when finances permit!

WOW! What a professional. He answered my phone call and scheduled an estimate within a week. He did warn me from the beginning that he was booked for about 4 weeks. He likes to work on job at a time. He sent me a detailed estimate within 2 days via email. I received a contract to sign via mail within 2 days after we agreed to the work. He phoned me the night before our appointment as a courteous reminder. He was early ( a few minutes ) as he was for our estimate appointment. He did a lot of attic crawling. It is not a very neat thing to crawl around insulation and you would never know he was even there! He vacuumed and cleaned everything as he found it. He did not damage the drywall, which I expected with the type of work he was doing. I have a few nicks of paint touch up and that's it! He estimated the job at 9 hrs and was complete in 8 hrs 15 mins. I liked him so much he's coming back next week for another estimate.
Description of Work: He installed 3 ceiling fans (there was no outlet previous) and a power box in a bedroom ceiling for me to install my own fixture.

Curtis did a clean and professional job, completing all of the work as we had discussed within a day. I had been concerned initially because his bid was one of the lowest that we had received, but went ahead with him anyway after reading great reviews on Angie's. My experience confirms the great reviews by other users. After the job, there was a problem with one of the switches, which Curtis came by to fix right away. Overall, a great experience, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Curtis was very thorough and professional and courteous. He was unable to find a problem in the house though he did say that perhaps another electrician might have some more expensive diagnostic equipment that could be utilized to further investigate our problem. He did make some suggestions that might be done down the road and even went the extra mile and called back later in the afternoon with some other ideas. He gave great service and certainly didn't overcharge me; in fact, I thought that he undercharged for what he did.

Curtis got the jobs because he knew the electrical code better that the other bidders. He handled every problem from start to finish with professionalism. He is a very good communicator, keeping in touch by telephone whenever anything, large or small, needs to be discussed. He will not overcharge when he supplies materials. One day, Curtis borrowed a drill bit from me to operate his hole saw, since his own drill bit had broken. I was surprised a day or two later when he gave me a new drill bit because he had put some wear on mine! Curtis has now become one of the few contractors (going back 20 years) I trust completely. He has extreemely high integrity which I value as highly as his skill at electrical work. March 4, 2011 Curtis continues to do great work at a fair price, is punctual and completely trustworthy. I just wish that I had more work for him to do.

Excellent service and customer experience end-to-end, I am very pleased with the quality of service provided, the responseness and strong communications, and the level of ownership Curtis took with the project to coordinate all the moving parts - City of Redmond, Power Company, etc. Curtis responded to my request for an estimate immediately and within 24 hrs I had what I thought was a very detailed estimate with a good price. We scheduled the work and Curtis came out almost immediately to get things underway. He was very comfortable working with all the equipment I had already purchased, and in general had a great, "let's make this work for you" attitude. It was important to me that I not have to get involved in trying to coordinate the different partners in the project (CIty of Redmond, Power Company) and Curtis exceeded the hopes and expectations I had on that front by managing all aspects of the coordination. The project was delivered on time, on budget, with no surprises, and I came away feeling really positive about the work with CST and would defintely hire them again.
Description of Work: CST upgraded my 125amp service to 200amp (I provided the service box, while CST provided breakers) as well as installing a new meter socket (again, I provided). CST also installed two new ground rods I provided. I was in the process of moving my existing overhead mast service to underground conduit, and CST handled all coordination with the Power Company to handle the swapping over of the service and connections to the new meter. CST also handled all coordination with City of Redmond inspection and passed with flying colors.

The first day Curtis came here, he was actually early. I appreciated this so much as the septic company was always late, if they showed up at all. From the beginning, Curtiss never said: I don't know this system, so I can't work on it. He said, I have never worked on such a system, but I will research it. He did. And the part of the system that is electrical works for the first time in a year. Now, he is working another part of the system that is electrical and not done right. This guy is a miracle. He is professional, friendly, and really puts in the extra effort. He knows the people to contact to find out the things that he does not know. I could not be happier with this guy.
Description of Work: We have had trouble with our Septic System. The septic company said we needed an electrician. So, I got Curtis's name online at Angie's List. I could not be more pleased with CST's service. I have had trouble with the septic company for over a year. Curtis stepped right in and learned how this system was supposed to be hooked up from the people who designed it and fixed part of it that the septic company had gerry-rigged. He is researching another part now. I know that he has not charged me for all of the research he has done on this system. He also has lowered his rates because of the economy. I will never use another electrician.

Curtis showed up and did an estimate for the job, and described in detail what the problems were. He emailed me an estimate that afternoon, and I accepted it. We scheduled an appointment; he showed up on time and with everything he needed to get the job done. He did not have to leave to go to the store on my dime (like the last plumber I hired did). The plumber was not from Angie's List, by the way. He also pointed another electrical problem/code violation we had while we were outside looking at my generator. Curtis is very friendly and professional. I will certainly hire him again.

I first called CST upgrade my meter box and circuit, called for his service again when my microwave needed to be placed on a separate line to the box. He completed work for me on 9/4/09, again installing new reset lights in my kitchen and installing a sensor outside light. Curtis is very skillful and friendly. He will go out of his way to do a follow-up call to be sure everything is working properly and that one is satisfied. I would recommend him to anyone needing electrical work (whether the project is small or large) they will get the same service.
Description of Work: I have used CST services several times. I keep Curtis on my speed dial for all future work! He is very professional and most of all knows his job!! He doesn't rush through anything and have to return and do re-works. He explained the process in layman terms to be sure you understand the estimate as well as completion of project.

Curtis was very professional and friendly in discussing the work he was performing. He called later in the evening to check up to see if the lights had turned on at dark. And of course the lights were on, I'm very pleased with his work and would use him again.
Description of Work: Installed 4 outdoor lights that I had purchased separately. Since they were dusk to dawn lights, Curtis spent additional time looking for the sensors on the house to ensure the lights were working properly.

Excellent. Curtis arrived on time and completed all work quickly. When he got to the outside work, he discovered that my outdoor lights were not installed correctly. He had the flexibility to install the boxes the same day after locating a supplier in the area. The lights were installed and up to code. The cost for the additional work was reasonable and fair. In addition, Curtis used shoe covers whenever entering the house. He used a tarp to protect the flooring. He brought in a shop vac to clean up the area. His cleanliness was very much appreciated.
Description of Work: Installed a new phone jack and outlet. Replaced master bathroom lighting fixture. Replaced outdoor lighting fixtures and corrected code violation (missing boxes).
