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.

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 :)
