Bill Schell’s Electric LLC

About us

For the first 10 years of my career I was running the day to day operations of electrical contracting businesses for other individuals. I did not have the authority to make the most important decisions relating to quality and customer service. I don't just want to "cash in" on one job and I don't use scare tactics by throwing around the term "fire hazard". I believe I am here to serve the best interest of my customers while making an honest living. You will get an honest detailed evaluation of your particular electrical situation. I never give an estimate that simply states "Rewire House $8000.00". I want you to know exactly what you're getting for your money. If there are existing problems, I will not only list them, but explain why they are problems and how to fix them. I do not just want your business; I want your repeat business, as well as your family and friend's repeat business. This is the cornerstone upon which I have begun to build my business. I look forward to the opportunity to exceed your expectations when it comes to your electrical needs. Should you have any questions, please feel free to call me and as always, estimates are free. Additional DBA - Bill Schell Electric.

The entire team of electricians straight up to the owner are very professional and knowledgeable. I explained what I wanted and they not only listened but offered me better suggestions to get the look I wanted. They responded immediately with any questions or concerns I had with well spoken answers that made sense to me. The estimates were spot on - dollar for dollar. They are extremely timely, even arriving early most days, and all mess was cleaned up and removed off site.

Joey the estimator was excellent - professional, friendly, creative, responsive.  The 2 installers, Kenny and Ryan, were also excellent - professional, friendly, efficient, courteous, trustworthy.  All in all, the very best experience I have ever had with electricians.

We live in a leased property and some of the things other renters have done where not up to standard or code. After having trouble with the oven my husband pulled it away from the wall. We found a plug that had been wired by someone who did not know what they were doing. Luckily the house did not burn down! The two electricians fixed it promptly and in very tight quarters. The light switch was fixed and a new plate installed. Both completed the work in a timely, efficient and courteous manner.

Very responsive - initial order was somewhat of a rush as I needed the service combined before installing solar that had already been ordered. Meter combination went very well.  Employees were very professional, polite and responsive. A couple of the circuits did not get correctly converted to 110, but Bill was very professional - immediately credited the damage and sent folks back out to fix the problem the next day. Lights in basement were installed with no issues.  LED installation did not finish the way I expected due to incompatibility between LED bulbs (multiple bulbs in a chandelier) and dimmer - which from web reviews that I have seen is still a work in progress on the industry level - particularly with older equipment.  However, Bill was willing to restore back to original and give full credit for that part of work.  (I have decided to keep work with 1 incandenscent lamp in each chandelier which, for some unknown reason, seems to solve the dimming issue.)
Overall - good crew, good work, very responsive to make sure work turned out to my satisfaction.

 I received quotes from 3 vendors, Bill Schell was the middle cost of the 3.  I chose them for quite a few reasons, and they delivered on each and every one of them.

1.  The highest quote vendor told me he would need to remove all of my ceiling drywall since my attic space is very short.   The cost for this alone was overwhelming, not to mention to absolute mess this would have made.  Bill Schell didn't require this at all, and though likely a bit uncomfortable :), his folks had no issue navigating the attic crawl space.

2.  The lowest cost vendor simply gave me a quote based on square footage, without coming to the property.  I didn't feel comfortable with the lack of detail in his quoting process.  Bill came to the house in advance, we discussed my specific needs, room by room, and he provided a very thorough breakdown by category of my quote prior to starting.  My final cost came in exactly as quoted, with an incremental $350 for items that I added on once they were here (outdoor outlet and under sink outlet)

3.  Bill's folks were able to start and complete this entire project in ~5 days, which was what he promised.  They were also able to start the day after I closed on the house, and when my closing was pushed back a few times, he was very accommodating (I also communicated this to him as far in advance as possible

4.  They knew I was living in the house during the rewiring, and were very conscious to work on sections at a time to that the entire house was not in chaos for the whole week.  It was still chaos, but considering the breadth of work being done, I had envisioned it being far worse. They also cleaned up after themselves, every evening and when the project was done.  This was a nice bonus for me, considering I had just moved into the house the day before

5.  After the project was complete, I had 2 tiny issues.  One was an electrical outlet in a bathroom that stopped working 2-3 months later.  The other, I actually cant remember.   I emailed Bill and they sent a couple of guys over the next day or so, they fixed the issue, and did not charge me for the revisit.  Considering some time had passed, I appreciated that they considered this part of the overall scope of work. 


Would I use them again?  Absolutely, 100%.  I'm now looking to change some locations of some outlets in the bedrooms for ease of access and aesthetic reasons only, and have contacted them for an appointment.


My only regret:  It took me 10 months to write this review :)

When I called Bill about our problem he had someone come out and take a look at things within the hour for no charge. By the end of the day he had provided me with an estimate. We had tree branches fall onto our power lines which pulled on the wires and caused damage to our roof and broke the pipe leading into the exterior electrical box. He sent out Joey to take a look at things and he was very professional and helpful. He pointed out other problems to look out for besides just the electrical issues. I was able to get everything taken care of quickly and easily. He even recommended a roofer I could contact to repair the damaged roof. They were prompt, efficient and very professional. I would definitely recommend them.
