Did find one outlet that does not work due to incorrect initial wiring. Correcting that will have to be a second project due to the time involved.

Additional Help LLC provided an exemplary service. Chris went far above and beyond our expectations. We just purchased a 1950s Cape that had no 3 pronged outlets, GFCI outlets, no outlet in the bathroom, and a number of improper wiring jobs throughout; as well as many unnecessary old telephone and cable wires . Chris was very responsive, understanding, and accommodating when we needed to reschedule our original date for the work. On the date of the scheduled work he was very punctual and listened closely to our long list of items to be completed throughout the house. He worked quickly and diligently without a break during the whole day, and was able to complete every item on our list. We would highly recommend Additional Help LLC and plan to call Chris the next time we have any electrical work to be done.
Description of Work: Updated 2 prong to 3 prong outlets throughout the house, installed a GFI outlets in the bathrooms where no outlet previously existed, addressed a number of improper wiring jobs and safety concerns throughout the house, removed a number of obsolete telephone jacks/cords and cable wires, and installed a ceiling light fixture.

The contractor was quite insistent that he come in the morning (the earlier the better, in his point of view), which does not work for me. I am concerned that the work I need done might well take more than two hours, as it involves finding a GFI either removed or hidden behind dry wall during a remodel three years ago. The contractor could not give me any hints about this issue (and that could well be impossible). The more I think about it, the more my gut tells me not to attempt this repair at this time, as I absolutely cannot afford to pay for any additional time. The fact that I was really pressured on the phone to consent to an early (early, for me) morning appointment makes me suspect that he wanted to come early because he expects the work to take all day. I just can't take that risk at this time.

I am sorry you feel this way. I wanted to come at 8:00 am because it is an hour drive for me one way. I agreed to come at 10:00 which means I have to leave my house at 8:45 to get there by 10:00. I'm sorry if you felt any pressure, my intention was to be honest with you. I told you that the "hidden" GFCI outlet could be easy to find and reset or replace if necessary. It might take a little more time to find an outlet that is hidden behind drywall. I would hope this is not the case.

Chris was fantastic! We had a variety of electrical jobs (inside and outside) and he did everything we asked for exactly the way we wanted it. He came within days of us first contacting him - there was essentially no wait at all. He was punctual, courteous and a pleasure to have in our home. The work was done well and for the (very reasonable) price we had expected. Furthermore, rather than do one of our simple jobs, he actually took the time to explain (and show!) us how we could to it ourselves which saved us money. He is an honest and able provider and we will call him again whenever we need an electrician.
Description of Work: Chris did a whole bunch of electrical work in our house - replaced exterior lights, fixed our doorbell, fixed a broken interior fixture, fixed a broken outlet, and installed about 5 dimmer switches.

Chris was right on time and started right to work. He was very efficient, professional, and a pleasant guy to talk to. He worked straight through, not sure if he even took a break. I was in and out of the house and felt comfortable that he was there by himself. I'd hire again. Easy to communicate with before the job, checked in 48 hours beforehand to make sure we were still on and I had purchased what I needed.
Description of Work: Replaced 20+ outlets, 20+ switches, replaced 4 smoke alarms, 2 light fixtures. I supplied the parts

He was very thorough, noting two outlets that needed to have the wiring switched. He assured me they do not pose any danger, but recommended they be changed. He was prompt, respectful and knew his stuff.

It was as if he was here because we needed an estimate for work to be done rather than to inspect our house which is what we had already paid for. I didn't read the list of what he was supposed to do until after he had left so I guess it's partially my fault because I assumed he would just perform the services he was hired for without me asking him to do them. He was a nice person, he just didn't do 80% of what he was supposed to do.
Description of Work: Verified that old wiring in cellar is inactive. Said other wiring in question looked OK (didn't do any testing, just eyeballed it). Didn't do anything that was on the list for a "Whole-House Electrical Inspection" unless he was asked to.

Chris was professional, punctual and communicated very well. I received a call confirming that he would be here when he said he would. After a string of bad experiences with some other service providers, it was a pleasure to work with Chris. He hooked up some track lights for me, rewired a fixture that was shocking me, installed a can light and put in a gfci outlet. I'll have him back when I have more electrical work to be done. This was all done at a more than reasonable price.

He was very nice and came quickly but he vented the fan into the attic without venting it outside. I asked him how he vented this and he told me. I made sure, via research, that he shouldn’t have done this. He understood my concerns and said he would fix the issue but would charge me for additional time. I am going to see how much time and work it would be for me to fix the issue at this point.

It was okay. He only spent half the day because he could only get part of the work done but it wasn't his fault, it was the way the house was setup. He could not get the rest of it. I hired them for the whole day but he only stayed half the day because he could not get what needed to be done for the rest of the time but that was my fault. He did an okay job. The price was fine.

Chris Seibert, owner of Additional Help, LLC, contacted me right after I purchased deal for Electrician for a Day and worked with me to set up an appoint . I was not able to set up an appointment right away and Chris was very happy to accommodate my schedule. Excellent communication from first contact throughout the job. He came prepared with all necessary materials. He was friendly, cheerful, and professional. I will definitely use Chris again when I need an electrician and will highly recommend his services to others. I am already creating a new list to have done in the spring.

It went well. Chris was professional and great to work with. There were a few projects that he identified would be too big for the allotted time (8 hours) - I was really hoping he could get to these things, but Chris was honest about the amount of time those projects would take, and so we moved on to some other smaller jobs on my checklist. Overall, I think he comes at a great value. He does good work, and the cost of parts and supplies were reasonable too. We would definitely go back to Chris with any other electrical needs!
Description of Work: Replaced doorbell transformer and re-wired doorbell; installed several electrical outlets including one outdoor outlet and one with a switch under the sink for a garbage disposal; replaced bathroom light with an exhaust fan-light combo.
