Cowboy's Consolidated Services (C.C.S.) in Martinsville, Indiana services all of Central Indiana's home and business General Contracting needs. We are a local, family & disabled veteran owned & operated business. We believe in top quality work and 100% customer satisfaction. Top quality. To some that sounds expensive. But, it doesn't have to be, as founder Mike Lyle realized in 2008. He noticed that every construction service he worked for was always up charging materials and cutting corners. Profit was #1. He realized that this was not the way to go, so he struck out on his own. He determined the job was going to be done right, by qualified pros, at a fair price. So that's exactly what we do, from electrical & plumbing service charges (often 20% less than competitors) to not charging a penny more than we pay for materials. Our pros are drug screened & background checked, have verified experience or participate in a structured apprenticeship which includes classroom and on the job training. All our pros (including our office staff) take continuing education courses for their trade. We are affiliated with the PDCA (Painting & Decorating Contractors of America, NAHB (National Association of Home Builders) and others. We are insured and licensed, and we can provide as many references as you need. We back our work by conducting a walk through of the finished project with each client prior to final payment, for painting & coatings we have a 30 day free touch up and we warranty the labor on each project which is transferable. Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. We offer seasonal specials as well as our year round senior, public safety, and military/veteran discounts.
"He never shows up at the time he states. When he leaves for supplies it can take hours for him to return and blames it on other people at the store. Fails to provide receipts to show actual amount spent on materials. Constantly ask for money for gas. When you point out things that he did that needs corrected he states such and such is the reason it’s that way; for instance he repaired part of the floor by my door cut the bored crooked and said it was the way my floor tiles were that made it look that way, that was not the case. He also drinks on the job. My doors are not in straight, pointed out and he said they were straight. The ramp on my deck need more support and he told me he would do it but did not. He also needed an extra beam on the ramp hand rail but said it did not need it. I told him not to come back and my husband and brother are having to fix his mess ups. I know we over paid him for materials; my husband works at Lowe’s (where he bought the stuff) and knows how much all of it would cost."

"Tony was recommended to me on Facebook. Never again. He came to look at some wood rot to give me an estimate. The estimate looked fine so we scheduled the job. He told me he wanted half up front via Paypal, but I told him I was locked out of my account, that I would try, but would prefer bill pay (check sent from my bank.) I tried, but couldn't get back into Paypal, so I set up bill pay and texted Tony to tell him what I had done. I also told him 2 days ahead of the job that the check would arrive in 4 days. He responded ensuring I was sending it to the right address, etc. The day of the job he called me saying he was at my house and asking where I was. I reminded him that he told me I didn't need to be there - the work was entirely external. We moved past that, but then he said I was going to have to leave work and meet him at my bank to pay him since my bill pay check wouldn't come until Thursday. I pushed back on that because I couldn't rearrange my schedule at the last minute. He became aggressive pretty quickly - let me know he had 4 men at my house waiting to work and he was losing money. He also asked why I didn't want to pay him and insinuated I was having a hard time paying him and was going to stiff him. Really?! I mean...just leave dude. If you think someone is going to be that bad of a customer just cancel the job. He also said he was upset about the bill pay because he didn't know about it. That was lie #1 - he did know because I texted him and he responded. So odd. I completely understand his need for payment (half) up front - I just didn't have another option - we agreed to reschedule the work for Thursday. He came back Thursday and we did a walk around my house to confirm the work to be performed. I made a list as we walked and left for work. I received a call awhile later from the hardware store to pay for materials over the phone - something we had agreed to up front. I gave my cc info and the call ended. Tony call me back minutes later saying I needed to provide the extra 3 digits of my zip code. I asked if he meant the plus four, but he said no it was 3 numbers. I asked if he wasn't referring to the CID code but he said no the zip code. I was looking it up (not memorized), but before I could find it he said that he would just pay for it, that I could pay him cash later, and that that particular hardware store never accepts cc payment over the phone. He seemed extremely frustrated with me, but I didn't ask him to do this. And I will never understand why he agreed to pick up materials from a store that he knew wouldn't let me pay over the phone! We met at my bank later in the day so that I could pay him what was essentially the up front deposit. The job was going to take one day (even though he originally said 2-3), so the check in the mail was going to be payment for the remainder. When I got home I inspected the work, but there were a few spots left undone. He texted over the weekend saying the check hadn't arrived as promised and suggested he was going to just come over and get a check. It felt aggressive. I told him I would call my bank Monday to see what was going on. I did that, but didn't get any answers until I got home that night - the check was returned to me undeliverable. That's never happened to me before, but of course it happened this time. I texted Tony to let him know what happened - even sent a picture of the check. Said I'd be happy to give it to him once he finished the work. We ended up speaking the next day and he became extremely aggressive very quickly. He lied about what we spoke about during the walk around the morning of the job, lied about how he examined the house during the estimate, and then (this was all him bulldozing the conversation) he threatened to put a lien on my house for non-payment. WHAT ON EARTH!!! He has no integrity and poor communication skills. He lied to me, made harassing statements, and threatened legal action that was completely unnecessary. While part of this conflict stemmed from miscommunication that I am partly to blame for, his response was beyond unprofessional. I decided to pay Tony and to be done with him forever. Like I said at the beginning of my review, he was referred to me, but my experience was so bad I honestly can't imagine how other people can recommend him or how he stays in business."

It’s important to ask an electrician a few questions before you commit to hiring them so you can make an informed decision as a consumer. If you’re getting estimates or considering hiring an electrician, ask them these questions:
Are you a full-time electrician?
Are you bonded, licensed, and insured?
What level of experience do you have as an electrician?
Can you please share three references?
Do you do residential or commercial electrical work?
What kinds of electrical work are you most familiar with?
Will any subcontractors be performing the work?
Are permits and inspections required?
Who is responsible for obtaining permits and inspections?
What is your schedule?
Do you offer a guarantee or warranty on your work?
Will you sign a do-not-exceed clause to keep the job within the budget?
Tipping an electrician is not a requirement nor is it expected, as they build a fair wage into the price of the job. It’s up to your discretion. There are no set rules for tipping electricians, but if they did a great job and you’re so inclined to tip 10% to 15%, it will likely be received with thanks.
Yes, you should get a quote or an estimate from an electrician. Most electricians offer free estimates or quotes. When getting quotes, do your research and verify each electrician’s license. Get quotes from three different electricians to compare. If the prices or items listed appear different on the quotes, ask the electrician to clarify. Learning as much as you can about the electrical work you want done will help you get the most accurate estimate.
Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.
Yes, although there are different types of electricians, they must be licensed, certified, and in most cases insured. States have different requirements for electrician licensing and certifications. In some cases, there may be licensing requirements at the local level, but not the state level. It’s always a good practice to confirm requirements with your local municipality. If licensing is not required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed electrician with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
