created a bit of a mess on the floors and I have no vacuum cleaner. Out of both kindness and a sense that, as Charles put it, "No job is done until the cleanup is done!" they retrieved a vacuum from Marcus's house and soon had the various rooms in apple pie order. I am delighted with the professionalism, courtesy, and fine outcomes from Charles Johnson Electric, and I am happy to recommend them without reservation. They went the extra mile, their standards are high, and they were cheerful and gracious about every aspect of the job.
Description of Work: Charles Johnson and his team have done two jobs for me. First, they came in and installed a ceiling fan, which I have been enjoying every day and night ever since. There was no electrical outlet in the ceiling where I needed the fan, and they had to spend time in the attic creating one. They did a speedy and efficient job, and the fan has been a trouble-free pleasure to use ever since. Several weeks later, I asked Charles to return and install eleven recessed lights in three rooms of my house. This was a very long, hot day's work, and there were a number of unexpected problems to be overcome, along with many hours in my dark, stifling attic. I never heard one complaint from Charles or his team, Dave and Marcus. Although it was an unusually stressful task, with many new outlets, switches, dimmers, plugs, and wires to contend with, nothing daunted them. The job

We are very satisfied with the craftsmanlike treatment of the ceiling around the fans and installation of fans with remotes.
Description of Work: We had two fan replacements for old fans in the kitchen and our bedroom. They came out at the appointment time and replaced our old fans with new fans we had bought.

Fixed existing outlets repaired and installed new plug under sink for garbage disposal and removed faulty wiring. Added an outlet and conduit for electric garage opener, and additional outlets in the garage. Fixed wiring in attic to two bathroom exhaust fans (that were incorrectly wired by pervious owner) they reconnected the air duct to roof vent outlet in the attic. Lowered garage door switch and put installed a new outlet in the garage (flush with the wall).
Description of Work: I contacted Mr. Young for an Elderly friend of mine, who needed to do some "electrical repairs" for a home she's trying to purchase (as part of the conditions by the lender) which needed to be done asap, because she had very little time to find someone she could trust and afford to do the electrical work on this home (I'm so happy I joined Angies List and found these guys). One word for these "MEN" OUTSTANDING!! Mr. Young was booked up for several months, but still managed to come by check out what needed to be done (they just came from a full days work, it was very hot) yet Mr. Young and his crew showed up and was very professional along with his crew. They gave us a fair estimate of what needed to be done, and started right away! I know this doesn't always happen they had a fulls work in and I really didn't think they had time to do the work that day, but they did!! Not only did they do the work, they went above and beyond a did a "GREAT JOB"!! HIs crew were very polite and professional, and as hot as it was they had big smiles on their face's (which told me they take pride in their work). I plan on using them again on my home and would highly recommend them to my family and friends!

I bought the big deal $99.00 for 2 hours of services. Charles young and his associate came out and together they banged the job out in one hour. They replaced 10 outlets and fixed the light on my garage door opener. They came when they said they would be there and got right to work. They were polite and professional. I will definately use their services again when I am in need of more work.

Purchased 2 man hours of electrical work through Angie's List for $99. Emailed Charles Young with what I needed and asked about a fixture I had some questions on - then set an appointment for two weeks later (they are pretty busy - though I understand that if you request it, they can call in the event of a cancellation). Marcus and David arrived within the appointed 1hr window and were very professional and courteous, not only answering all our questions but making suggestions as well - they also explained that we were responsible for paying for any materials used. Uninstalled/installed the entry fixture and the two bathroom outlets qiuicky and easily - placing the plugs as close to our requested location as was possible. They inspected and explained the issues our hall ceiling lights had and repaired the wiring - we then decreased the bulb wattage at their suggestion. Discussed the best way to wire another fixture we had for use on the vaulted ceiling - and will have them come back when we are ready to install. They cleaned up and since we provided our own outlets, fixtures and bulbs - the additional cost for materials was only $4.
Description of Work: 2 outlets installed in bathroom Checked 2 hall ceiling lights, repaired wiring Removed entry light fixture on vaulted ceiling and hung new one.

I knew that I would be purchasing a new ceiling fan for my master bedroom so I purchased the ceiling fan installation special that Charles Young Electric was offering. Some time later, I found the fan I wanted and called to arrange the installation. Charles returned my call within 24 hours and we scheduled a time that was agreeable to both of us. The contractor who had installed the previous fan had done it without using a fan box. Charles explained the potential problems that could result if he did not correct the problem. He did not pressure me, but left the decision up to me. I chose to have him install the box. He agreed to install the fan box for an additional $75. Based on the research I done prior to purchasing the special, I was comfortable that this was a reasonable fee Charles and his assistant did an outstanding job. The newly painted ceiling did not have a mark on it. The fan was mounted firmly and did not vibrate or wobble. They took the precaution of laying down a drop cloth to minimize the mess and did a very thorough cleanup job. I have several projects planned that will require an electrician and will definitely use the company again.
Description of Work: Installed ceiling fan.

I purchased outdoor lighting and when Charles and his helper arrived they checked the fixtures. Charles explained that the ones I purchased were too large to be installed where I wanted them. He told me what to buy and while I went to exchange the fixtures he and his helper ran some errands. After an hour we were ready to proceed and everything went smoothly. Charles made everything easy.I will gladly call Charles Young Electrical next time I need some electrical work. They do excellent work. Thanks
Description of Work: Charles and his helper arrived on time and installed 3 outdoor light fixtures. They took the time to explain how the motion sensor and dusk to dawn features worked, and they carefully set up the systems to best advantage.

This guy had the $99 for 2 hours electric service so I payed Angie's list online in advance for this service. I then called Charles Young Electric and left a message. I did not get a reply. Next day I sent an email and left another phone message. Later that evening he called and said he can't return calls during the day because his customers don't pay him to take calls. Then he said he said he was could not help me until mid August. I then called Angie's List to have my credit card reimbursed. I will never pay in advance on Angie's List again.

Response from Charles Young Electric
This member did call me several times the day he purchased the Angie's List Big Deal, in addition to emailing me. As a courtesy to my customer's I do not take calls while they are paying for my time to complete their electrical work as I do not feel it is fair. I returned his phone calls that same evening, I do have the call logs if he would like to confirm. I did tell him that due to recent Angie's List Big Deals I was scheduled out for a few weeks but that I was happy to add him to my schedule. Angie's List does state that due to the high volume of sales that there may be delays in scheduling. He was not satisfied and wanted his work done immediately. I did offer my apologies and let him know that Angie's List would grant him a refund if he wished.

I bought an Angie's List special for two hours of electrical work. Charles Young called me a few weeks later to ask what I wanted done and to arrange a time. We set up a time and he showed up with his brother at the appointed time. They did the work and had a few minutes left. He asked if I had any other needs since he still had time, but I didn't. I was impressed with this company and would hire them again.
Description of Work: They enclosed exposed wiring in a junction box in preparation for adding insulation to the attic.

Originally, I just wanted a few light switches repaired and ceiling fan lights connected and repaired. Called Mr. Young and he was very responsive in returning my call and setting up an appointment. When he arrived, he listened to my concerns and was very informative and knowledgeable. He advised me of the most productive yet inexpensive way in which to accomplish my goals. He also let me know about the new energy saving LED lights that at that time had a rebate available. The only minor issue I had was that even though we had verbally discussed the price for his followup job, he should have given me a written estimate. The only reason I consider it a "minor" issue is the fact that he held true to his verbal estimate. He was very timely and conscientious. (cleaned up after himself) :) . He and his brother were very professional and did not dawdle in getting the job done quickly and efficiently. I do plan on having them return to install some LED can lights upstairs.
Description of Work: Had majority (approximately 15) of downstairs can lights replaced with new energy saving LED lights, dimmer switches installed for 3 ceiling fan lights and a light kit installed and connected for 2 ceiling fans.

I called and they came the next day. After further inspection of my electrical box outside, they found that the builder had made some mistakes with it originally so they did quite a bit to the box to make it safe. They also check a few things further for me which I didn't ask for but the that was great. Great work guys!!

Totally disappointed, Charles arrived at 0745am the day scheduled to do the work, 15 mins early. Walked the job site and started work but never provided an estimated cost for the job, i believed the 2 hrs would be enough and was taken by surprise that he wanted 3 hrs in addition to the Angie's list coupon, of labor to perform this simple job...way overpriced. When asked why the bill is so high he stated he arrived at 0730 worked till 1000am, for 2 guys and wanted to be paid for setup and cleanup. The only setup and cleanup was to take his tool belt out of his truck and return it, both guys worked very slow not justifying the $75per hour charge per person. The job was to simple, add one additional outlet next to an existing one in the garage, drill 1 hole in the side the existing box, fish a piece of romex up about 3 feet and add a single gang box. He didn't have the material for the job, I actually went to Lowe's to buy him a single gang box. The job in the garage shouldn't have taken more than 30-45 mins for someone who knows what they are doing, outside required drilling thru the dining room wall running a piece of metal conduit across and up about 15 feet in total and drilling thru the header panel above the water closet and adding surface box inside of the water heater closet, 1 1/2 hrs should have been more the enough time for this second outlet. All work accomplished on ground floor, no ladder work and all areas were easily accessible. No way was there 5 hours of work here, Charles just wanted to add additional cost to the bill by dragging his feet. Do not use this company you will be dissapointed.
Description of Work: Added 2 electrical outlets to accommadate recirculation pumps for my water heaters. Purchased the $99. for 2 hrs of electrician special from Angie's list to accomplish this simple job.

Mark came on time, drilled through the bedroom wall outlet (including brick on the exterior surface)and mounted an all-weather outlet where it was needed. Since we still had time, I had him install an additional outlet on the outside of my garage, so I could use my power tools and leaf blower, etc. He did such a good job, I tipped him. Mark was part of the team that had done a previous job for me, so I'm a repeat customer.

Charles and his team were top notch. During the initial consultation he spend almost two hours doing a thorough assessment of our home and the work required and took the time to understand exactly what we were trying to accomplish with our project. His bid was comprehensive and very fair. When his team came to they house, they took extra care to protect the floors, walls, etc. and were diligent in cleaning up as they worked. Throughout the process Charles treated my home as if it were his. I would highly recommend Charles Young Electric for any project you may have. We'll be a repeat customer.
Description of Work: Charles and his team came out and rewired about 2/3 of our house that was on old knob and tube wiring. He basically modernized the rest of our house and also ran several outlets throughout our backyard/patio.
