I had an issue because of 40+ year old breakers and they failed during one of the coldest days of the season - leaving me no furnace or refrigerator. I called Dave VERY early in the morning and he immediately came to my house to fix the problem. He resolved the problem quickly and charged a very fair service fee. I will be having Dave return for more work shortly!

I purchased an Angie's List deal for 2 hours of electrical work in order to complete two minor tasks for our back deck. Dave contacted us immediately and was able to schedule an appointment within a few days. He was very punctual (early, in fact), did great work, and was generally a nice guy. That being said, he was not very upfront about the amount of time it would take to complete the two tasks, and did not present options before choosing an exterior outlet to install, which resulted in extra time and a higher bill than expected. However, this may have been prevented if we had bought all our own materials and had asked more questions, but we are new homeowners and learning as we go! Also, both the invoice for additional labor and materials, as well as the estimate for a future, larger project were very vague with only a total cost written and a lot of general descriptions and "etc." type language. The price seemed high, and without a detailed breakdown, it's hard to know if you're getting a fair price. Overall, Dave does good work and has great availability if you need something done quickly. However, we will most likely shop around the next time we need an electrician.
Description of Work: Installed a new porch light with interior switch, which required running new wiring, as well as replaced an exterior light with an outlet. We also received an estimate for a larger project to be done at a later date.

One word - Amazing! David is an amazing contractor that pays attention to all of the details. I have used many contractors that I have found on Angie's List and David is the best I have worked with so far. David was scheduled to come to my duplex and help do some switch replacements and lighting replacements. He wasn't aware of the total scope of work that needed to be completed but he assured me that he would stay as long as needed to help complete all of the work. David was scheduled to show up for the work on a Friday morning at 9:00 AM. He showed up 20 minutes early and got right to work (keys were left for him). When I got there David already had a couple of the switches replaced and he was ready to finish the switches and start on the lighting. David pays very close attention to the details. As an example, when I got there one of the first things I noticed was that David was wearing booties over his boots. Any time he left the apartment to go outside he took the booties off and when he came back he put them back on. Even more amazing was that David brought his own contractor sized garbage can. He didn't use boxes or any existing cans. This meant that the place stayed clean during the work and clean up was quick at completion. He even offered to vacuum up after the work was completed. All work was completed as planned and in an efficient manner. David kept his promise and stayed until he had completed all of the work, including a new Hunter fan that he didn't know about. He did a great job on all of the work and he had no issue with any of the work that was thrown at him. David was very professional, efficient, and a great conversationalist. I would highly recommend D.C. Electric as a contractor and I would certainly use his services again, if needed. Give D.C. Electric a chance and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
Description of Work: David came to a duplex I owned and removed existing lights, installed new lights and a fax, and replaced two-way light switches.

This group was very professional, punctual, polite, and was an overall delight to have in our home. My husbands work looks for electricians from time to time and he is willing to put his name behind them. Their clean up was top standard and even did work outside of the quote. You will not be disappointed if you hire these guys.

D.C. Electric did an EXCELLENT job!!! They came out the first day to complete all of the work and did 80% of the job on day one. One of my ceiling fans was in an area that was too high for one person with a non-extension ladder (my mistake for not telling them the details) so they gladly came back with a 2-person crew within the next two days to complete the job. Everything was done to my specifications and they were extremely professional. They used tarps and shoe covers to protect my flooring. They vacuumed up the work area after they were done with their job. I was really impressed and would recommend them to anyone needing electrical work.
Description of Work: Replaced two ceiling fans, replaced two light fixtures, installed three switches, replaced and oversized breaker, installed a new doorbell, and did some rewiring.

Everything went fine. Prompt, professional and clean. Service was provided as scheduled on time and in a timely manner. Dave was very professional. He provided his suggestions to the work to be performed which helped provide educated decisions on the required work. We will be using him for additional services in the near future as we hope to add more electric service to our basement and garage.
Description of Work: Our electrician actually provided service on two separate occasions with the first to add 220 60A service for our new electric stove. The second service was to add additional circuit and outlets for freezer and refrigerator in our basement.

David was great. Was friendly, right on time, got everything done quickly and even cleaned the fan blades before reinstalling the fan. He also cleaned up some cobwebs he noticed on one of the other ceiling light fixtures he noticed as he was doing his repairs! I would definitely recommend and will call him again the next time we need electric work done.

David and his team were consummate professionals in every regard. He responded quickly to our initial contact with him and made the process completely painless. On the day of the service work, not only did they show up on time, they even showed up ahead of schedule. While at the house doing the work, David and his team were extremely friendly, courteous, and made every effort to guarantee our satisfaction with their work. They answered any questions we had and at no point did we ever feel like we were being "fed a line of BS" as you so often hear about with other service companies, When complete, they cleaned up the areas where they worked and even disposed of the old fixtures so that we wouldn't have to (Even better: They donate the old fixtures to Habitat for Humanity rather than reselling them or simply dumping them in a trash bin). We would definitely recommend D.C. Electric again and they will always be our first call going forward for any electrical work we want done in our houses.

David arrived on time and accomplished everything we wanted. He worked carefully and meticulously to get the job done right, which is exactly what you want when it comes to an electrician. The entire job took about 4 hours and we are very pleased with his work. While David was here he also quoted a few other jobs, which we intend to bring him back to complete. David was easy to work with, was highly responsive in responding to and scheduling the job, courteous, and reasonably priced compared to other electricians we've worked with. Overall a great experience.

David came out very soon after I called, and did a very thorough inspection, using the home inspection report as a starting point. He showed me what had to be done, and recommended a few other things that needed updating. He also indicated that the previous owners had done some work that was against code, and that the city inspector might have a problem with what was there. But he knew the city inspectors and thought that it they would "grandfather" me in without having to have additional work done that was not related to the service upgrade. On the day of work they were there right on time (in fact, a bit early and beat me to the house). Even though I wasn't there they began to look at the work that needed to be done and getting their tools ready. Although the power had to be shut off for about 8 hours, they did have emergency power that was available if I needed it and he make sure that I knew it was there. There was definitely concern with minimizing the impact (but since we were not moved in, there was really no impact.) They put down a cloth going into the house so they would not track dirt, and they asked permission to come in and use the bathroom, which as no problem. When done, Dave showed me all the work, and where the trench next to the house was left open for the inspector. He also let me know that he had coordinated everything with the electric company and there was nothing I had to do on my part with them. We went down to the basement and he showed me the next breaker box, how they have labeled all the breakers (the old box was WAY off with correct labeling), and he showed where the open slot were and how they were available for things like a hot tub, or any other home upgrade. I was very satisfied with his work and would recommend D.C. Electric without hesitation.
Description of Work: We bought a foreclosure which needed some electrical work -- the services needed to be upgraded to 100 amp and David recommending replacing the box which had no open circuits. The electrical lines coming into the house had to be had to be raised (actually through the roof) since what was there was against code.
