Chris contacted me right away following the purchase of the deal. He went over in detail what would be done and also offered variations on the type of cans to be used as well as the dimmer. He arrived on time and was very personable and professional. The whole installation took about 3-4 hrs. The light switch the dimmer was going to replace was also tied to an outlet. He removed the connection to the outlet and replaced the switch with the dimmer only for the lights. A relative of mine had recessed lights installed for a much higher price and lower quality. I would recommend Chris and will use him again for future projects. I purchased another deal of his for 8 hrs of work $395.

Chris was very pleasant during the first phone call. He showed up on 6/13/2013 at the agreed upon time and got to work while being personable and considerate. We already hired him for the second time on 7/13/2013 and received the same positive experience. Recently, we recommended him to another family member, as well.
Description of Work: We purchased the $395 for 8 hours on 6/3/2013 through Angie's List to come on 6/19/2013. He updated our outlets to 3 prong, installed 2 ceiling fans, removed our bathroom fan, and tested the electrical outlets in our entire house. We hired Chris again on 7/13/2013 to install the new bathroom fan (we had originally bought one that was the incorrect size), replaced our doorbells, and put GFI faceplates on our switches.

I use Additional Help LLC all the time, the guy is fabulous. His name is Christopher Seibert put ten stars next to his name. ‘A’ with ten pluses, I would put an 'A' for everything. He does carpentry and he is an electrician, so, it's all in one with him, I don't have to call two people for one job. He is a perfectionist, he has integrity, he is proud of his work and he should be, he has quality work. He is on time, he does what he says and he says what he does, there is no guessing with this man, he tells you and he is so honest. I leave this man in my home I don't leave many people in my home if I am not there, I give him a key. I found him when he was doing some work for someone in town, I met him that way and through using him, I mean he is just a man of integrity. He just finished something maybe a week ago for me on one of my other homes. His prices are very good. He painted while the temperature was a hundred degrees, I can't say enough, I told him that he shouldn't even be working, when he says he is going to come, he comes. I have not known him to be late. He is generally there before I get there. I know this man and he is just a good man. His service should be recognized.
Description of Work: Additional Help, LLC restored our front porch, he put in new stairs, he had to totally rebuild the front porch and he had to fix our central air, he did electrical work to other things inside and outside of the house.

Chris is a great guy. Rates are very reasonable. The above price included the price of the switch and flood light. The area was cleaned well after he was done and he spent time going over how to operate the transfer switch. He wouldn't take payment until I had come home to inspect the work as well. We have other work to be done and will definitely be calling him again.
Description of Work: Installed manual transfer switch, new light fixture in bedroom where there was none before, replaced outdoor flood light.

4/08/13 ($150): Installed Kitchen light fixture, DR Ceiling Fan; replaced (3) outdoor flood lights. Chris left around 2:30 to take care of a customer who kept calling him to come to his house to fix his sprinkler system. I didn't think this was the professional thing to do. I feel he should have finished my job first and scheduled another day to go see his other customer. He returned on 5/06/13 ($345) to finish. He installed (3) outlets; (1) coaxial for the TV cable, and changed a wall outlet to a wall switch. After he had just left, I tested the wall outlets and one of them didn't work. I called him and he immediately turned around and came back to fix the problem. All in all, he did a good job and I wouldn't hesitate to call him back.

He was thorough but did not offer any suggestions for updating my electric. When asked he did tell me that if I added any outlets I would need to add an electrical box because the one I had was full. I expected a bit more from him about updating as the house is almost 100 years old, and many of the outlets are not grounded.

The person who came was punctual & polite. Simultaneously, he made it clear through his manner that he was there to look over rather than do various jobs. While checking over our lighting fixture, he broke a light bulb which we then had to replace. We are now no closer to a solution to any electrical problem than we were before, nor are we better informed about how to go about solving any pressing issue.
Description of Work: The provider met his obligation to give us an appointment, arrive on time, look over various electrical problems in our home, & talk to us about the do-ability of these jobs.

Chris, from Additional Help, was a wonderful person to work with. We were so happy with his services, and his prompt response on all communication. He helped us finally finish our bathroom, by installing an outlet, an overhead light/fan unit and replacing the wall switch. He work was pristine and he took extra care in getting it all done. We would 100% recommend hiring him for your next electrical service, we plan on having him back to do finish extra projects in our old house!

Chris was punctual, professional, thorough and flexible with our requests. He requested pictures through emails prior to the appointment and provided estimates before coming. The eventual cost was higher than I had budget and seemed a little bit higher than what I would have expected for the work done.

The electrician, Chris scheduled a time and day to do the work, He arrived on-time. Chris repaired the electrical outlets and door bells that we discussed and I have no complaints. He is a qualified, reliable electrician. I would recommend and use his services again. Thanks Chris and thank you Angie''s List. I received Angies List as a gift and I don't' think I can be a homeowner and live without it. I had alot of bad experiences with contractors, but I feel safer using your list of service professionals, especially with the rating system. Keep the Deals coming

Overall it went very well. Hired him back as i said above and spent $740 to do the ceiling fan and generator panel and wiring.
Description of Work: Chris installed a switch and a new line to an existing light fixture that was broken. Did it quickly and well. Hired him to come back and install a ceiling fan on a 14 foot ceiling, no easy task. Works great! Also had him install a new generator panel and plug for outside of house to plug in generator if power lost. Chris did all the work well and ensured that everything worked. I am very happy with his work. He is very nice and works hard.

Chris did an excellent job with the electrical task I had to get done. He called couple times before coming over to learn what needs to be done and to be prepared for the job with the right tools and also called the night before to confirm the appointment time, direction etc. as he suggested, I bought the items for the work. He came on time and did the work well. I wanted to free up the garage outlet by disconnecting the extension cords that were connected to the garage door opener motor unit. He, not only freed up the outlets, also found a way to keep the existing ceiling lights working in case needed in the future. Also left the garage door mechanism working well. Now no more long cords. And the outlet is free so that any outdoor electrical tools can be used without the hassle of coordinating with the opening and closing of the garage doors. Also did some other outlet works inside the house within the the 2hourtime I had bought thru Angie's list. I would call him again when I need any other electrical work to be done. Thanks Chris
Description of Work: Automatic garage doors motors were connected to the electrical outlets thru extended electrical codes. So any time I needed to use the outlet to connect outdoor tools like blowers, trimmers, lawn mowers etc, i had to disconnect the automatic door motor connection. This gave lot of inconvenience and troubles. So Chris, disconnected the cords and connected it to the existing ceiling lights outlets, and did some thing additional to keep the existing ceiling lights working too.

Job never preformed the company never called me back to set up appt even though I spoke to the person directly that does the repairs for the company. He told me he would come look at the job and give me estimate. Took contact information from me and he never followed up with job.
Description of Work: Well I called Additional Help to get some carpentry work on repairs at my home. They told me that they preform that type of work and asked me where I live. I asked him to come by and give me an estimate and let me know if he can do the job once he saw the repair I would like done, it was not a big job. He sounded very interested took my work and cell phone numbers and my street address too. I never heard back from him I have been waiting for over 2 weeks. I would like to get the repair performed soon. So I had no work done but did talk to the man to get an estimate for the job but responsiveness and punctuality in calling me to set up an appt to review work is FFFFF. The job was to repair 2 window fan pediments above my outside windows they were damaged heavily by a woodpecker. I didn't know if the holes could somehow be filled in and painted or if the whole pediment would be easier to replace. He was supposed to come look give he his advice and an estimate of cost. I never heard from him.
