Intent very well. There are nothing but positives on this job. All trash, boxes, and the old ceiling fans were removed. The equipment worked well and all of our requests were met. We will definitely use their services in the future.

They were prompt and fairly priced. He tried to find other things to fix on top of what he did. I felt the price was fine.

Don Wade and Son electric came out and gave us an estimate on some upgrades we needed for a project we were doing. Don was out to give us a fair estimate and we were able to get the work started. They were out in the heat of summer getting the work done with a smile. Jeff was very kind in explaining every step of the process and setting our expectation for timeline. I didn't know what to expect after another review was not so good. That was obviously some guy with an axe to grind given my personal experience. Appreciate the good work Don Wade and Son!

Electrician wasn't sure if the blackened outlet was due to one of two plugs or the 36 yr old outlet. He installed a new outlet to make sure all was well and told me to make sure the plug prongs were spread apart if I had any problems with the connections going forward. Electrician took 25 minutes to repair. Very professional and efficient.

Don Wade Electric was very responsive and able to perform the requested work the same day. I called at 8 am and the foreman was at my house by 9am. They even provided a few updates by phone on how soon he would arrive (very nice). Once the foreman arrived, he listened to some of the work I had done to try to isolate the problem and took it into consideration. Debugging electrical shorts can be tough and this one was a bit of a puzzler (this sometimes happens with remodel jobs). Even so, the presumed issue was tracked down and the offending wires removed from the circuit in two hours (we still don't know where they go though). The foreman did a good job of making sure all the outlets and junction boxes we tore apart were returned to normal operation with all screws returned. The circuit breaker hasn't tripped yet (only a few days after the repair) so as of now it is a job well done. I didn't price out the competition so don't really know if the price was high, average or low (therefore I gave it a good rating).

Our family has been having residential, electrical work done by Don Wade Electric Company for many years by now on two houses we own. We have always been impressed with their professional experience, quality work and training. Having our home electric repairs and improvements completed by these well-trained electricians is an asset that takes care of our family day and night, year after year. With every construction project there are numerous details involved. Small oversights and billing errors commonly happen. Don Wade Electric Company is always promptly responsive about completing the electrical project and working with us to have accurate billing statements. We hope to have many more years of excellent electrical service with this fine, local company.

Very prompt and thorough on an estimate, but we have not proceeded with the project as we are waiting on our funds to become available.

These guys are crooks. For $500 an hour they will do c*** electrical work. When finished they lost the four bolts that hold my electric panel in place so they took one out of the cover and put it in place. Leaving the breakers exposed and the door hanging off. My eight year old son found it open on the side of my house. Don't even let them on your property for a estimate.
Response from Don Wade & Son Electric Co
"The member called 7/29/09 for a proposal to rewire his kitchen. He agreed with the pricing and proceeded to add more work to it. The total project cost was $1920.00. Our electrical technicians started the job on 7/30/09 and had to leave after 2 hrs of work due to homeowner also scheduling a flooring installer. Our technician went out on 7/31/09 to complete the job and was there for 2.5 hrs and was called away on a medical emergency. Another technician went back to collect tools and clean up debris. Between 7/30/09 - 8/21/09, due to delays by both parties, the job was completed, billed and paid for. Thursday after hours, the member left a very unprofessional voicemail that contained foul language complaining about our work. Friday morning a call was made to the member and we offered to return and resolve any issues. The member declined. The member mentioned an issue with the panel box. The box only had 2 bolts, not 4 and we offered to secure it and the member declined. The member says that we charge $500 an hour for our service. This job was for a specific project and not a time and material situation. We have been in business for 47 years and consider ourselves professional. Efficiency and safety first is our Mission Statement. We are sorry, the member see are high standards differently."

He has been really good. He connected 3 outlets from 2 wires, and installed a light fixture. All 3 guys are good. They work to code, and they know what they're doing. They show up on time, and they've been out about 6 times. This is an old house, so it needs a lot of work.
