?Sal is courtious, fair, and skilled bryond expectation.?
He was a true professional throughout the entire process ? from supplying a detailed and reasonable estimate, to showing up on time, to carefully planning how to accomplish all we asked in a way that would require minimal patch repair when compleded. And while it is not his ?job? to do so, he gladly provided advice, assistance, and even some materials to help us begin the proicess of repairing the few access holes that needed to be cut.
Sal was also dillegent regarding the respect of our property and working as cleanly as possible. He was in-and-out in just under 2 days (after he vaccumed and cleaned his work areas) and the only sign that he was here is the now beautifully hung and operating light fixtures that brighten our home.
We are so GLAD we called hinm for an estimate!
I arrived at the house at 10:30 am and did various jobs while I was there. But no sign of Sal. He called (not sure of the exact time, but think it was approximately 1 pm) to ask if we were still on. I said yes, but that I had to leave at 3:15 pm to meet my son on the school bus. Sal said he thought he could finish the job in time and would be arriving in shortly.
He arrived approximately one hour later and went right to work. His work exhibited a high level of professionalism and thoroughness. He's also a very nice guy. And I was on time for meeting school bus.
When Sal was finished with the installation, he walked me through how to use the transfer switch to power the house from my generator. He was very thorough, and did a great job of explaining how the whole system works. He even swept up the entire work area, and left it cleaner than it was when he arrived! I found Sal on Angie's list in 2012, and hired him to install a new circuit for an electrical outlet in my basement. He did a great job, and was my first choice for the new circuit breaker panel and generator transfer switch. I have already recommended Sal to a few of my friends who are looking to have electrical work done. If you want an electrical job done right, for a good price, by an experienced and very personable expert, look no further than Sal Garofalo at Garofalo Electric, LLC.

We don't know why the job went so poorly; it was major (connecting a new generator), and he seemed to know what to do.
But there were problems from the start. (I have misgivings giving you his name for fear of his retaliation.) He didn't come when he said he would; he gave us a quote for the work which, according to Mr. Garofalo, (when I showed him the contract) was at least $500. in excess. When I questioned the cost (He had told me an hourly rate, but charged far more than the time would have warranted,) he stormed out of our house. He would not respond to our requests to complete the job, which is why we hired Mr.Garofalo. Thinking that our Electric Dryer was broken, (it wouldn't work) we called in an appliance repair person who said the problem was not the dryer, it was the connection for the generator that was the problem. That is when we called Mr. Garofola.
Thus, we had to pay the appliance repairman and the new electrician their fees, in addition to the overcharge for the generator.
Mr Garafalo was a very nice repairman; We will call him again when we need work. He was friendly, explained everything clearly, and did the work without incident. I appreciate finding him on your list.
