Very impressed with the owner...kind and professional. The two workers sent were nice and honest and worked hard. They were almost an hour late but it was a Monday first thing in the morning and since I work from home, it wasn't that big of a deal. The service and the price more than made up for it and they even noticed another fan over a bed (installed ten years ago) had loose blades that would of come flying off one night,and tightened the blades up for me...I had no idea they were loose! Would definitely use again and highly recommend.
Description of Work: Installed 3 ceiling fans in pre existing boxes and replaced a timer switch for front house lights and moved an electrical outlet over so it was no longer concealed by a bathroom mirror.

They were prompt. They did everything I asked them to do. They were very confident. They were also tidy. I would call them again; they were very good.

They are the best. They came out shortly after the purchase. I had a little bit of extra work that they jumped right into. The price was very reasonable and I would highly recommend them. They were very easy to deal with and pleasant to be around. They were very professional. I would use them again.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. I really didn't like how it went. Four guys came out for a job that required only one. I told them what I needed to have done and they figured they couldn't do one of it because it was gonna take out too much time. So they left and I didn't get everything done that I wanted done and it still cost me the same amount. It kinda turned me off and at the minute he saw the alarm and it was gonna take a little while to run the wire to where he needed it. You can tell he just didn't have the time.
Description of Work: Our contractor was building some steps and he pulled on a wire that broke our burglar alarm connection and so I asked Charles Young Electric to fix that. They also fixed the blower switch in the hot tub.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. They helped us out and I would definitely call them again. They did what I wanted them to do and they fulfilled my expectation.
Description of Work: I used Charles Young Electric because I had a problem in the master bedroom from the previous owner's doing do-it-yourself work and things were not done professionally. They came out and fixed everything. They did some other minor stuff in the living room and they replaced the front door outside entry light that I had bought.

Charles is great to work with. He came over on a very three digit "hot day" to look our new air conditioner to see why it kept blowing the fuse. He told us it was overloaded and needed a separate box or line, he first quoted us $265.00 for the work (a good deal) but when he came out to do the work he was able to add the line and charged us only $100.00 for the work! Who does that now a days he could of charged us the amount he quoted, instead he said he wanted to help my Aunt Mary (who's on a very small fixed income)and lower his price. It's companies like "Charles Young" that make people believe in honesty and integrity in business's that take pride in their work! This man is too good to be true, this isn't the fist time he's help us in a pinch, we didn't ask for a cheaper price I think this man has a big "Heart" (he has a family to support too) and I thank him for all of his hard work, Charles Young and his team very professional are polite hardworking group! I will spread the word to all my family and friends to hire him for any electrical needs. As for me I will continue to hire him for all my electrical work, we need to keep him around!!!
Description of Work: Air conditioner kept blowing a fuse, added another line to carry the extra load.

The men who came out to do the installation were very friendly and helpful. The were able to run wires and install the ceiling fans very quickly. The were knowledgable and very considerate. They placed dropclothes to protect the surrounding areas andcleaned up after themselves. They did a great job and completely transformed the rooms with the fans and their lights. Would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: The provider was able to do the wiring and place a ceiling fan in two seperate rooms.

It went well. The company sent two of their workers out within 2-4 hours after I ordered the service. I was lucky that someone who lives in my area had cancelled an appointment . I was extremely happy with the service. I would use the company again.

Just to be on the safe side, since we previously had entered a complaint, I would make it my job to get in writing, a quote on the work, what it entailed, and exactly what it would cost. Our complaint has been resolved satisfactorily and we would use their service again.
