Keith, Alan, and Julio are exceptionally competent, extremely creative, have a keen eye for detail, and are thoroughly professional in all they do. I was very pleased to find them and have already recommended them to my neighbors who hope to have similar work done in their home.
Description of Work: Keith and his team replaced my "recalled and dangerous" electrical sub-panel, installed new lights in my office/lanai area as well as upgrade lights in my living room, hallways, kitchen, and bathrooms. They also installed ceiling fans for two rooms and a fan in the master bath.

I LOVED the work that Keith and his team did for me. It was so easy from start to finish. The entire team was professional, respectful, and communicative. They absolutely went above and beyond. I have an OLD house and the entire wiring needed to be redone. This seemed daunting and Keith not only walked through the whole process but even had amazing ideas for improving my current lighting situation. We replaced all the fans and lighting fixtures, added canned lights, provided updated switches that dim, added motion detectors for outside lighting, added a plug wherever I wanted and added a new heater/fan for the bathroom. Keith also outlined everything they were doing, the labor costs, and the cost of the materials so everything was so clear and there were no surprises. I am so happy with the results and truly am so appreciative. My house looks so great now!
Description of Work: A complete re-wire of the house. Added new Light Fixtures, Pendants, Ceiling Fans, Canned Lights, and Exterior Lights, Plugs, and new Light Panel.

First, Keith Walter worked really hard putting together a quote in the midst of the Corona Virus pandemic. Having two immune compromised family members living here, Keith assured me him and his workers would talk all the precautionary measures to protect me and my family. Keith was able to work out a estimate via email and video calls which was very reasonable and all without stepping foot on my property. Alan was the lead for my project and did an outstanding job. Alan and his crew wore all required protective gear and took proper precautions to ensure the safety of my family. End result, I am very satisfied with the customer service and professionalism of Keith and his employees. I can’t say enough good. I spent 26 years in the active duty Army and our establishment is built on trust and respect which doesn’t come easy. Walter Electric has earned my trust and respect.

Keith and his worker Alan were very professional. Keith listened to my needs and spent time explaining in detail what the job would entail. He took time to answer all my questions and address my concerns. Alan was a great worker, punctual, competent and hard working.
Description of Work: Our old North Park home needed some safety upgrading with several GFCI plugs and plates in the kitchen and bath along with a new dedicated circuit installed and a new breaker and plug receptacle added in the kitchen. Two old ceiling lights were repaired and a dimmer switch replaced.

I sincerely apologize for not getting back to this client. We were on a family vacation and I had turned my phone off for the week to enjoy family time. Again my apologies and I hope this didn't cause too great of an inconvenience. Keith Walter Walter Electric

Keith is such a delight! He is incredibly reliable and honest. He took care of all of our needs at the studio and I feel so lucky to have found him on Angie's List. He is now my go-to electrician for anything home or business related :)
Description of Work: Keith installed a panel for our heating system for our hot yoga studio. He also installed dimmers for the lights and put in a new outlet for us :)

They were very fair. While we were working through it, he was very honest on things. He'd say, "You guys probably don't need that. This is something we can do to not be so much expensive but still get the look you are looking for." He has a very good vision. But he told us he'd be there in 10 am but he didn't show up there until two in the afternoon. We arranged the day for him, but he didn't show up. He asked for more time and eventually got there. They did great work but were not quite there when they said they'd be. I'll absolutely use them again.
Description of Work: We used the services of Walter Electric for an estimate. We had a long list of home electrical projects we wanted to have done and they did the whole thing: lighting and ceiling fans. The cost of the estimate was $8800.

It took a month to get it all done. We had issues with being able to be around for them get into the house. We negotiated it to make a schedule for the three of us. The best part of the experience were his vision and our vision for getting the project done and keeping it realistic. It was great to be able to dream with them and still be able to come up with a fair pricing and a good project. I will absolutely use them again.
