The only issue I have is with the unexpected invoice for $175 for less than an hours work. The work was performed during normal business hours and parking was available. It was not an "emergency" call. The invoice amount surprised me.
The visit was arranged by our realtor who met the electrician when he arrived. The job was a simple switch box rewiring of existing wires already in the box and addition of a second switch. I wasn't there personally, but spoke to the electrician on the phone to explain what the wiring issue was. He was polite and professional on the phone.
Our usual electrician who wasn't available charges $85/hr and is great. My expectation was to pay somewhat more but not that great of a difference.
I did not ask the realtor ahead of time what the it was going to cost and now realize that I should have. He indicated that he'd had the company do work for him in the past.
I can afford to pay the invoice, and will, but think that I was definitely overcharged.
They were:
1. Reasonably priced
2. Punctual
3. Nice and professional
4. Fast
5. Reliable
They did excellent work.
We will definitely use them again in the future.
Completely satisfied with efficiency and completeness of job. Pedro was creative and diligent with an issue with old wiring and bracket and was determined to make it work?and he did. He also was helpful in advising on how chandelier should be hung. Pedro also took time to gather information (and advise) for estimates for other jobs I was interested in.

Pedro arrived at 7:15 the next morning. He was great - very efficient, friendly, and went beyond the scope of the job to check out a couple other things I had questions about. All in all took just under an hour. I confirmed the charge would be $93 before I wrote out the check and he said that typically they charge one amount for the first 30 mins and then a different amount for the next 30 mins so he'd have to check with Bob. He went out to get an invoice and came back and told me the charge was going to be $140. I said no, we agreed upon a price of $93 per hour and the job took under an hour. He called Bob and gave me the phone. Bob immediately started screaming at me, saying that he said the job was going to be 1.5 hours, that Pedro was there unloading his car at 7am (there was nothing to unload mind you), told me to pay whatever I wanted, to remove his number from my phone, and said good luck finding someone to do the rest of the job. I was completely caught off guard by his attitude and asked him what rate he was proposing I pay since we had agreed to $93 per hour. He continued to yell at me, be rude, and hung up.
I would not recommend this company to anyone. I was very excited to have found a great electrician, as I have an old condo and lots of long term updates on my to-do list. This was also a 2 part job, so Bob knew that they would be getting more money for this job in a few weeks. Had he been calm on the phone and said something along the lines of "our minimum for this job was 1.5 hours I must not have made that clear yesterday" that would have been one thing. But no, he screamed at me, went on and on, and hung up. Pedro was so embarrassed and apologized profusely, but it was too late. I will not take that treatment from anyone, let alone someone I am paying for service. Do not recommend.
Mahoney Electric was a great company to work with. They called 30 minutes before arriving to let us know they were on the way and then arrived just when they had said they would. The electrician spent time making sure we were totally satisfied with the height of the lights and how they looked. He even measured to make sure our dining room light was centered over the table. The professionalism, attention to detail and ease of working with the technician, left a lasting impression. We would definitely hire this company again for any lighting or electricity projects.
The 3 electricians worked non-stop for 9 hours to get all the work done. They asked questions to clarify where we wanted things placed, which I appreciated. Overall we had a great experience and I would recommend Bob to friends/neighbors who need electrical work done.
Will always use Bob in future for our electrical needs.
