Overall the entire experience was amazing and could not have gone any better! We were referred to Scott from another contractor, researched him on Angie's List, then interviewed him (and a few others), and ended up choosing Scott. Again, we could not be happier we made this decision. He truly had our best interest in mind for the entire project and he always listened to our wants vs needs and guided us in the right direction, especially from a financial perspective. In a nutshell, we wanted to Scott to do a few upgrades to our dimmers and hang some light fixtures. He ended up doing so much more for us and at the best possible rate. So we made the decision to go the extra mile with him and trust his expertise, and boy are we glad we did. Scott is extremely detail oriented, you don't ever have to second guess him. He is also an extremely efficient worker. He always showed up ready to work and focused on the tasks at hand. We had him at our home for several days over the course of a couple months and he was never a bother (although we probably bothered him with our two young kids!). Scott helped bring more power into our kitchen, which was badly needed. He ran new piping through the existing walls and wired everything up with new GFCI outlets all around and also new LED lights and master dimmers. This was a huge project and he conquered it with ease, always being very careful and calculated with his decisions. He installed new outlets in our kitchen island and hardwood floors as well; he has this amazing 'laser-like' precision when it comes to executing on the finer details. He cut through walls and repaired them perfectly, put under cabinet light up with almost invisible wiring and hung ceiling fixtures that look like they were built with the original home. Absolutely stunning! Last but not least, Scott always went above and beyond. He would stay late if necessary to complete a task and never complain, and you'd never detect an ounce of frustration on his behalf. He was so committed and would take things so personally that if he didn't finish his work assignment for the day, he would be upset and feel that he let us and himself down. I probably missed a few things...but I hope this review helps Scott. He truly is a great business owner that cares about his customers, works smart (and hard), and can always be counted on.
Description of Work: This guy is stupendous!!! He rewired our internal electric routing (conduit, piping, etc), installed new light switches, new master dimmer systems in kitchen, living room, dining room, den, family room, basement and bedrooms; our entire house pretty much. He hung a massive chandelier in our foyers and and even 'massiver' light fixture in our family room. He helped recommend LEDs vs. CFLs, assisted with getting the right switches/dimmers with the proper wattage. He also cleaned up and brought up to speed our electric circuit box in the basement,. In other words he cleaned up all the previous sloppy wiring, got everything organized and made sure we had the proper circuit breakers with the accurate amps per breaker. He is an electrical genius!

Scott can do every sort of electrical work, and he also has other home improvement skills. At my house the latter included drywall finishing that another contractor had not done well. As for electrical, Scott re-routed and installed new wiring for many new electrical switches, installed ceiling fans, repaired and installed track lighting and hanging light fixtures. All of this work was most satisfactory.
Description of Work: Scott arrives at your door to do the estimate prepared to start working, with every tool known to man in his truck. Scott is a very friendly, gregarious man with whom I had a bit of a complicated relationship owing mostly to my own grouchiness. What he found behind my new condo's walls -- what the contractor had done who originally converted my loft space -- was so horrific that it made my project much more difficult and time-consuming than anticipated. I was already over-budget, so this fact caused me much anxiety, which I took out on Scott. It was a challenge for Scott to persevere, but he did, and, in the end, we had a beer and laughed about it. I was very satisfied with his work. The only criticism I would make is that he could have made more of an effort at the end of each day to clean up after himself. It could be that he thinks he tried to accommodate my anxieties by giving me some breaks on the strict hourly price, and because of this when he finished the electrical work each day he felt less obligated to spend the time cleaning. But I think it has more to do with the fact that Scott has spent most of his professional career doing union jobs which didn't require clean-up, and he may not have been aware of how much homeowners appreciate and expect this. But I know how much Scott appreciates the work he gets from Angie's List, and I think after he reads this review that his future customers will be much better served in this regard.

Very professional, knowledgeable and from start to finish excellent service
Description of Work: We live in 90 year old house without the modern conveniences of lighting in built into the right places inside our home as well as limited ability to have Scott ran two new outside circuits and new circuits for our chandelier in our front entry way. He was helpful with identifying options for the work that needed to be done including cost options and applicable electrical products for our needs. Scott kept us informed of progress along the and some of the work ended up being a bit more difficult and time consuming than his original estimates and he didn't come back and ask for more money.
The job went great. Scott was punctual in his initial appointment and provided a timely quote. He showed up the job on-time and completed all of the work in a single day. Due to having to install concrete for the new fence post, the project had to take the full day. Scott is highly trained and thinks through projects more like and engineer than a handyman. Scott doesn't just do, he thinks about what he is doing, plans each element of the job, brings the necessary materials and does the work in a thoughtful, skillful and efficient manner. Scott doesn't show up and then try to figure things out which ultimately causes numerous trips to the store, rework and adjustment. Scott has a friendly, enthusiastic personality and he was a pleasure to work with.
Description of Work: Scott Gianola repaired a section of our fence that had blown down during a wind storm including digging out and installing a new fence post. Scott also installed gutter guards on a lower roof section of our house. Scott also adjusted the existing gutters to make them work with the new gutter guards and cleaned out the gutters thoroughly before installing the guards. Additionally, Scott installed a new outside LED security light fixture including the installation of new conduit and he adjusted the three separate LED spot lights to provide maximum illumination in our backyard.

Scott was very responsive from the start. He came out the day after I contacted him to do a walk through and give an estimate. Our circumstances changed and we had to get the painting done sooner than we talked about and he responded to that immediately. Scott changed his schedule and competed the painting on time. Two weeks later he came out for the rest of the work and brought in extra crew to finish the work on time - even work till 9pm one night.
Description of Work: Work was done in two different stages - 1st was the painting the entry hallway, bathroom and kitchen and replace the kitchen faucet. Scott came out later to remove a drywall, add an electric outlet on one day and came two later to replace the drywall and the paint the entire basement including trim.
Scott helped us measure the space for the vanity, researched mirror suppliers for us and recommended one (Ashland Glass). He picked up the mirror from the vendor and brought it with him to our home along with all supplies needed. He did a beautiful job installing the glass, which fit perfectly. When installing the lighting, we discovered that the junction box that I intended to use for the new fixture was not active. Scott was able to solve the problem for us, and I was able to use the fixture as intended. I'd highly recommend him for any project (especially the complex ones)!

Scott arrived at our home prepared and ready to work, and he did not stop or slow down until the jobs were done. I highly recommend him for any household job - electrical, handyman, plumbing, etc. It's a good idea to give him a detailed description of the work you need done over the phone, before he arrives, and he will come prepared with all the tools and materials needed for the job. We typically have a list of several projects for him each time he comes to our home (about every other month for the last two years). He always stands by the quality of his work, though this was the first time we had to take him up on this. The morning after Scott installed a kitchen cabinet, we noticed the cabinet tilting slightly. Scott returned the following day to resolve the issue.
Description of Work: Scott spent several hours at our home doing various projects, which ranged from installing a television in our bedroom, installing a kitchen cabinet, and "finding" extra space in our daughter's bedroom for a new closet by removing a baseboard. Every time we have a household project we need done right, we call Scott. He is able to find a solution to any challenge we give him, the quality of his work is excellent, and his rates are reasonable.

My wife and I decided to finish the basement for added living space. Our house being close to a century old, had years of old electric that had come across as a bit of a head scratcher to other contractors that were interviewed. Scott was a godsend when it came to this project, he basically took the basement from non-living space to living space as far as lights and function. Day one consisted of him determining live and dead wire and then discarding dead junction boxes and old conduit. The rest of the days entailed him running his new lines and determining placement installation of the new boxes. Scott was very patient when it came to working with us and around other contractors time. His suggestions came in handy when it came to the design of the basement's lighting and placement of dimmers and switches. He was very confident and my wife and I felt at ease with his ablilty to determine what needed to be removed and cleaned up and what needed to stay. Communication was key when it came to this project and Scott delivered. He kept us informed of potential problems with our original design and addressed it accordingly. This guy knows electric inside and out and we highly recommend him. If we had a bigger budget I would have had him do the upstairs as well, but thats another project. Thanks Scott!
Description of Work: . He removed old conduit, and dead wire. He added separate lines for sump pit, water heater, ejector pit. Several lines and several outlets were installed as well as several runs of brand new conduit. Installed new wiring which supported code.

Scott was great at following through on the initial phone contact. He was knowledgeable about the problem and talked in detail on the phone to insure that the right product would be purchased. He showed up on time with part in hand and had it fixed within 45 minutes! I would definitely use Scott again.

I feel extremely lucky to have found Scott through Angie's List. I called to make an appointment on a Wednesday afternoon and he agreed to meet me the following morning. he showed up on time, gave me an excellent estimate and was eager and ready to work right away, Scott's is extremely personable, hardworking and knowledgeable. He provided cost effective options and was willing to work a very long day to finish the job- since i took the day off from work and desperately needed to have it completed that day. He went above and beyond my expectations and I would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of work. I have already scheduled Scott to come back to install some ceiling fans and hang an interior door.
Description of Work: Scott repaired damaged walls and ceilings (patching/painting) from my previous tenants. he also repaired a loose base board and un-installed some old speakers that were left for me to remove.

My husband and I were extremely lucky to find Scott when we purchased our new home (a condo downtown). He has helped us with nearly every project in our home, from moving/installing our 42" flat screen television, installing light fixtures, replacing doorknobs and shower heads, hanging art on our walls, and even helping us baby proof our home! We have asked him help us nearly every month since we moved into the home about 18 months ago, and he always does amazing work. He is very good at creating an elegant solution to a project that is non-standard or complicated, he is truly a can-do guy. He never compromises on quality; all of his work has stood up to a very active 2-year-old.
Description of Work: TV installation (with hidden wires, including cable running through 3 of the 4 walls of our living room so we could get the TV in the exact location we wanted it), installing light fixtures (ceiling & wall), replacing shower heads, doorknobs, bathroom fixtures, hanging art, even babyproofing!

Work went soomthly. Scott is a knowledgable, friendly, hardworking electrician. He helped me pull new wires through existing conduit, install new light fixtures, add new plugs (old houses lack many outlets), udate and expand number of curcuits. Basically we took part of my old house and brought it into the present. Now I can turn my lights on and not blow fuses. If you need a general electrician, Scott will do great work. One note, he generally likes to work in the afternoon hours.

It went very well! Scott worked well with the other contractors with coordinating schedules and work to be done during different days. He was very professional. He was prompt, not only with getting appraisals, but doing the necessary labor that needed to be done. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. I have more projects that need to be done and plan to have him work for me again. I highly recommend him.
Description of Work: Scott re-wired the entire living room. He relocated old outlets and installed some new outlets. He re-wired and found sconces that were previously buried under plaster. He installed new dimmer switches as well.
