It didn't take long, and it looks and works great.
Note:
I first hired Bill Nichols of Electric Solutions in late 2012 to install additional lighting on my patio. Since then, I have had Bill back five more times to perform other small electrical jobs. They included: installing exterior motion-detecting Security lights, trouble-shooting some lighting problems caused by water, replacing ceiling light fixtures, and moving an electrical outlet.
Bill has always done a very professional job and his pricing is reasonable. I have recommended him to others who needed electrical work performed.
There has been nothing I have asked for that he has been unable to tackle. My home was built in the 50's and over the years has had various additions added. While some of the electrical work has been challenging due to age and previous wiring of the home, he is able to handle it all professionally and competently. I like supporting a local small business where the one who comes to do the work is actually the owner and not a subcontractor who has no pride in the business. Booking and timeliness has never been a problem and both Bill and his wife Peggy, who handles scheduling, are both personable and responsive. From other reviews here on Angies's List, it appears 99% of their clients are pleased as well. I highly recommend that you give them a call; you will be happy you did.
I almost skipped writing this because a) I didn't want to think about the whole experience and b) We are moving out of State & I thought...why care? Well, I count on Angie's List to provide me with comprehensive feedback and I have used it a great deal in our new area out-of-state with excellent results.
I will not enumerate everything. Summary: Charged a lot for simple repairs, and may have caused an additional problem which he charged for fixing. "Can't prove that it had anything to do with what was done previously" was his statement. Took HOURS trying to figure out what the problem was and kind of Gerry-rigged a solution that we are hoping is code-adherent. Then walked off with our house keys and I had to call him about that, arrange a time for him to come over and then call again when he didn't show up.
Was supposed to return on Sat., which he did ultimately, to "continue" the repair and when hours passed on the time he was to be here, we called his office. "Oh! Should have called...Have another job before yours-" Our appt. was for 10:00- He arrived at 1:30.
He drives a van which he proudly lets you know "upsets people" and they have "asked him to leave" because of it. This visit I was privy to this advertisement on wheels. You know the drill...Insulting the President, racist rants... The whole back of this substantial vehicle was covered...with intermittent NRA stickers as well. One was "All Muslims are not terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslim." When he didn't show up with our keys when he was supposed to, he said he & the wife were at the "shooting range". lol. Making sure they will be able to ward off all those Muslims descending on America.
Ugh.
Thank you Bill!
The task was very problematic. It involved taking down a very involved hanging fixture in order to reach the circuit in question, which was not easy given the character of that lighting. Bill was very careful. The circuit had to then be extended and the new light, which I supplied, had to be installed. It didn't work. Bill patiently weighed into the problem, which turned out to be a defect in one of the parts I had bought and supplied to the project. He was able to fix it so I didn't have to seek a replacement. Once the light was working, bill had only to rehang the original hanging fixture be done with the task.
Projector lighting needs to be focused and framed so the light beam exactly fits the painting. It can be surprisingly tricky; I've done it. I was prepared to climb a ladder and do that after Bill left, but he said he didn't want to see me climbing up there killing myself, and he gamely dug into adjusting the light until I was satisfied.
All of this debugging and adjusting could have run the bill up, but his bill clearly did not include all the extra effort/time put in.
Best of all was Bill's nature. He's a pleasant guy with a nice sense of humor. I would use him again without issue, and I would recommend him to my friends.
Thanks Again
