Small Jobs Electric

put in a new line from circuit box to refrig in garage added 2nd outlet at no extra charge,as long as i was ok with using same circuit as refrig outlet.(which I was)... satisfied with workmanship, but thought 312.00 was alot considering that it was supposedly 75.00 off as per coupon

Great now. No more problems.

The electrician arrived at the appointed time, changed the fans and cleaned up the empty boxes and old equipment. Small Jobs Electric has a fixed price list for services. The final bill was $188, including the voucher purchased during an Angie's List promotion.

The workers showed up on time and went to work. I received a call from my wife telling me it was going to cost $163 for them to finish the job. $163!?!?!? I purchased a coupon for $50 which was supposed to include $75 credit towards service. So what I'm left to believe is it cost $75 plus $163 for a total of $238 to wire a single ceiling light fixture. This cost seems exceptionally high for the work that was performed. When I asked my wife to help me with this review for the service we received, she said "I feel like we got taken advantage of". This was a small job. I purchased a coupon for a small job and it ended up costing me $213 for wiring a single light fixture. That is way too high and the next time I'll just hire a handyman. The worst part is that this was my first experience using an Angie's List contractor. I have lost faith in the Angie's List concept after my experience with Small Jobs Electric. I am now very skeptical of the offers I have received from Angie's List contractors ever since. Perhaps I am over-reacting, but I still feel that $213 is way too much money to wire a light fixture, especially for a company in which this is their expertise. I do not recommend Small Jobs Electric based on the cost of service. Although the workmanship seems to be okay (I wasn't here, but the light is working) I feel like they did not honor the intent of the coupon and the "value" and Angie's List subscriber should anticipate receiving. Despite the company's rebuttal below, I have changed my overall grade to a "C". I have to give proper weight to the final service, which is a working light fixture. However, the response below does nothing to explain the exceptionally high cost for such a small job, regardless of what some website or book says. And I stand by my earlier claim that this job cost me $213, NOT $163 as the company argues. Why they do not include the $50 cost of the Angie's List deal along with the $163 confuses me, and misleads those reading this review. And this response does not address the claim that the $50 coupon included a $75 credit towards service. Again I say, buyer beware. If you have a lot of money to spend I'm sure Small Jobs Electric will do a fine job for you. I agree, no one forced us to have the work done, we just wanted to have our light fixed. I will say that I did learn something very valuable through this experience. I had no idea Angie's List deals could be refunded. Had I known this, I doubt we would have consented to have the work done at the quoted price.

They were prompt and courteous. They knew what they were doing.

this is the second time we have used this service. the service was good then and quality was just as good the second time. They came the day called. We were given a time window and they were prompt with a follow up call to give notice they were enroute. They told us how much it would cost and there were no surprises. Service man was prompt, explained everything and professional. Could not ask for a better service. They accepted the agnies coupon for a discount. It does not get any better.

The lights look great! They really add a lot to our bedroom, it was so dark and cave-like before. Now my wife can read in bed at night and they used a smart home switch so I can dim them, set a scene with them or just plain turn them off with a remote I can keep on my nightstand - super cool! Small Jobs is very reasonable, they're quick, clean and worth every cent.

Excellent! The tech was out on a holiday and was happy to be there. He had what he needed with him so he didn't have to run out to any store further prolonging when I could get started cooking. I love these people!

It couldn't have gone better! It was the first time we've ever needed to use an electrician and they were just so great and easy to work with. They answered all of my questions and the girl who answered the phone was just so sweet! (Another plus - I didn't ever get an anwering machine, always a live person). Definitley recommend them!

Ceiling fan failed to work when chain broke too close to the fixture. I bought a replacement switch but could not get it rewired. Tech told me he could install a new one but lacked tools and training to do repairs on existing.

The company sent out an electrictian that said the services we need would outside of his scope and would send another one. A few days later another individual showed up and having assed our needs declined to take the job. The job by the way was to correct a "handyman's" work which caused some outdoor lighting to not work. Eventhough we had agreed to pay up to a certain amount to have the problem repaired, they declined to take the job. In summary I cannot rate this company for it's services as we did not receive any.

These guys are great! They came when they said they would and their attention to detail was fantastic! You'd never know they had visited, they cleaned up so well after themselves. Very pleased with their services and got more than my money's worth by choosing them!

I was so impressed with the technician. Even though it took him a few hours to find the problem he never gave up and was determined to have everything working before he left. He found the problem was coming from an outlet in a completely different room! Before he left he even looked over my panel to make sure everything looked proper and was in good working condition. I'm so glad everything is working and I can have my peace of mind back!

The electrician was punctual, pleasant, and knowledgable. He explained the two items that needed to be fixed and how much they would cost. His explanation seemed good and I agreed to the $399.00 price. However, he was only at my house for one hour, including diagnostic and work time. After the job was done, I told the electrician that I thought $399.00 was rather steep for one hour at the job site. That was in addition to the $49.00 I spent on Angie's List for the coupon for the work for this company. I asked the electrician about another job I might have, and was quoted a price over twice the amount given by another company. I will not use this company again.

Electrician arrived as scheduled, neat clean and professional. listened to my explanation to what I saw as being the problem and immediately proceeded to investigate and resolve the problem

The contractors went around the job site with my son who is in construction after the job and he told me it is some of the best work he had ever seen. They very carefully took out all of my plants and then reinserted them after they were done. They made sure that the job site was returned to the condition that they found it before they got here. They also took the time to program the panel that they installed. Nathaniel and all of his workers were all very polite as well. They were very appreciative of any refreshments we gave throughout the process.

When I called the company, the individual answering the phone was very pleasant and helpful and had me scheduled for the diagnostic within a day. The technician actually showed up early and spent several hours methodically and diligently searching for the cause for the outage in the circuit of lights and outlets. At the point he narrowed it down to possibly being located under the house, he explained that he'd need to send a "younger" technician out to explore this area. He also explained that there were several connections in the attic that were poorly configured and exposed, creating a fire hazard risk. He cleaned up after himself and explained that there would be no charge since he did not find the source of the problem. He was very polite, professional and knowledgeable. The company offered to have another electrician out the next day, but I had a schedule conflict, so they came out the day after. Again, the technician showed up a few minutes early, and again, he diligently and methodically searched for the source of the outage. He was unable to find it, so he explained there was no charge. He actually showed me photos of exposed and poorly configured wires in the attic and again explained risk. He suggested re-wiring and cleaning up the entire circuit and provided an estimate within a few minutes. I was able to schedule the work within a couple of days. Two electricians showed up, again a few minutes early and completed the work within a day. It was a laborious and messy task, but they handled it professionally and courteously and cleaned every bit of mess. In addition, there was no drywall damage, even though the technician anticipated some. I think it's amazing that the company spent two several hour calls trying to diagnose the problem and did not charge! They stand by their word. And the fee for the actual work, $1,500, seemed very reasonable for the scope. I have used them before with the same satisfaction, and they will be my electrician of choice going forward!

Overall I was very satified with work to be done and had confidence they would help keep me informed on the status of this work being done from out of state../102012

It was a pleasant experience working with them.

A wire in our closet wall was compromised and thus caused a fire hazard as well as shorting out our A/C unit for one side of the house. The Technician, Chris, arrived on time, was friendly, knowledgeable and fixed the problem in a couple hours. He was able to give us quotes on other projects we need handled

called for service because after electrical upgrade in kitchen by previous owner, the garbage disposal was getting to current. Also, the hot water heater circuit breakers kept tripping. Jaz was very polite and professional. Before starting, he showed me his folder with standard rates for various services that they might perform. He then quickly diagnosed the problems and again went over with me how much would cost to fix. He spent a couple of hours here and everything now seems to be working properly. I thought it was a little expensive, but frankly I don't know how much that type of electrical repair work should cost. I'm still learning about stuff like that. Overall, I am satisfied with the results and would consider using Small Jobs in the future.

Work was done when scheduled (actually ahead of time) The electrician was very knowledgable. The areas worked on where nicely cleaned up.

Very Well, very nice, great overal experience. Would recommend

Excellent! They were on time, and called to say they were on the way. Did the work quickly, finishing earlier than I expected. Cleaned up the work areas when they finished. All breakers were identified/labeled. Everyone was pleasant and helpful, including phone contacts. I would definitely use them again, and recommend them to others.

To begin with, when I called Small Jobs Electric, I was able to talk to a person right away?I didn?t have to leave a message with a machine, which is something that really bugs me. I called on a Friday and they scheduled me for 2:00 the following Monday. This was the first time I was able to schedule something this quickly; we are doing some major renovations to a home we just purchased and this was quite a refreshing change from the usual having to wait for a week to get what we wanted done. When he arrived (on time as well) Jaz was efficient, helpful and performed what needed to be done in a professional manner. I had wanted an outdoor grill disconnected so we could have it removed, and then I asked him to go over the home and check to be sure we had no obvious electrical problems as we had purchased a foreclosure that had sat empty for almost a year. He discovered some junctions in the attic with no boxes and told me the cost to have it corrected. When I asked him to find out why the back bedroom didn't have power, he discovered that the ground wire had been cut at the service panel and as it looked like it was done on purpose, did a thorough inspection of the panel to see if there were more problems. As it turned out, there were several compromises to the electrical work in the panel, including circuits labeled incorrectly, more grounds that were cut as well as a section of wire supplying power to the water heater. Needless to say, this created a potential for a very hazardous situation occurring, potentially even an electrocution! Jaz called for additional help and completely reworked the panel and check every wire to be sure it was safe and correctly labeled. By the time he and his helper left after 7 PM, I felt not only more comfortable with the state of the electrical portion of the home, but also comfortable with the knowledge that I can call on Small Job Electric to help me with any of my electrical needs in the future. I was even pleasantly surprised at the bill. Well Done!!! You have a customer for life!
