They were punctual and courteous and upfront about the pricing. However, in the end I felt that the prices were way too expensive for what was actually done. I was offended that they left a religious booklet and telling me that this is a Christian business (thus my C rating on professionalism--in my view this is unprofessional). For as much as I spent, I should not have to "help" fish wire. I would not use this company again nor recommend it.
Description of Work: Splitting a circuit by creating a new one in an office and rewiring the bathroom outlet to be on a dedicated circuit, troubleshooting a non-working outdoor outlet.

It went very well. I feel safe and secure in my new home.
Description of Work: David, my electrician, of Randy's Electric saved my life. He found old fixtures in my new house that would have caused a fire and repaired or replaced all that was necessary. He took an old house and brought it into the 21st century. He was so efficient, so organzied and took me through everything he was doing. He would explain the cost and always ask for my approval. I know that usually calling an electrician can be scary but in this case, it was truly a pleasure.

I will not have them come back again. The young man who did the work was very courteous and nice. I was disappointed that they could not do the main part of the project that we needed done and I feel like their prices were out of sight.
Description of Work: They changed out an electrical outlet. They changed an outdoor light bulb. They could not do the other project which was to make an indoor switch for an outdoor light.

The experts say that 5% of the people in the world will never be happy with a service company. We do our best with every customer! As I point out to our customers quite often, with my brains and your money we can do anything! The work could have been done, but it was a big project and she didn't feel it was worth it.

Randy, the owner, came out to provide me with an estimate. I had purchased some sensors and fixtures for the exterior of my home and needed know to whether what I had purchased was going to work the way I was imagining it. I was also interested in upgrading the electrical box to support more demand since I knew we were probably close to maxing out with our current load. Since I was foreseeing additional projects and improvements down the road, I was open to having him provide advice on those future projects. He provided a lot of good suggestions. He provided estimates on all of the various projects which I could then use as a pick list for planning and budgeting. Randy was very helpful and I am so glad he came to do the estimate himself. On the day of the job, a crew of two arrived to perform the work and worked steadily to install the sensors, fixtures, and light switches and upgrade the wiring for the electrical box. It was a full day of work. The quality of the work was very, very good and I am still pleased with the improvements. I would contact Randy's Electric again for future work and I would be happy to recommend this business to others.
Description of Work: Installation of pre-purchased motion sensors and light fixtures for home exterior. Installation of new switch. Installation of an outdoor outlet. Installation of electrical box amp upgrade.

I had major re-haul done on my house. The work was done by an employee, not the owner. He was very conscientious, choosing his actions with thought and caution. He was also very neat and clean. The company was adaptable to additional work needs as they arose and the work was done in an appropriate time frame.

Good and bad about Randy's: they entice you into getting work done quickly by doing the work the same day as the estimate. This is convenient, but since they charge for the trip, you feel a bit like you want the work done immediately or you waste the money for the estimate. Dave came out to our house and went through things with us. He worked really hard to put in wiring two lights, even spending time drilling through cement foundation (the house is 100 years old). The finished product is very nice. It took 4 days of work. His priority was getting the job done well, but I felt he was a bit short-tempered at times, and did not communicate increases in price as things came up, just that things were "tougher than he thought". The first set of work was paid for up front, about $3600. When we added on some extra jobs, the "rough estimate" for the additions was $1000. Our final bill for this set of work was $1900. Granted, it took more time than expected, but we were never updated with a new estimate. A couple hundred extra was expected, but not this much. If I had to do it again, I would have asked for everything in writing. Not sure we will call them again.
Description of Work: Installed motion detector and lights for front hall and back of property, installed cans in living room and entry hallway, hung a chandelier, removed 2 chandeliers, and installed walkway lighting.

They were prompt in calling back to set up an appointment. They were very professional and up to date. They provided additional estimates for work that needs to be done down the line. They have everything figured out price wise so there is not deviation from the estimate. Randy, the owner, came with the electrician when we went over everything. Everything is working great.
Description of Work: They did some lighting installation and removal.

Electrician did not quote what I requested. He quoted four new circuits. To top it all off, they charged me $251.75 for the quote stating that they expected to start the work immediately. Very pushy using high pressure sales tactics, did not provide the design I requested and showed up at 6:30 AM instead of between 7:30 and 8 AM.
Description of Work: Requested an estimate to add two circuits and split one circuit into two. I made it very clear that I wanted to talk about the design and needed a quote.

Response from Randy's Electric
AT RANDY'S ELECTRIC, WE ARE COMMITTED TO HAPPY CUSTOMERS. THE EXPERIENCE THIS CUSTOMER HAD IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT MY DRUG-TESTED, BACKGROUND-CHECKED AND THOROUGHLY TRAINED PROFESSIONAL ELECTRICIAN TOLD ME WHAT HAPPENED. THIS CUSTOMER HAD SOME WORK DONE BY US PREVIOUSLY, AND WE WENT BACK TO FINISH A SMALL ITEM THAT WE HAD TO WAIT FOR THE SIDERS FOR. WHEN WE WERE THERE FOR THAT, THEY ASKED IF WE COULD COME BACK AT 6:30 AM ON A SPECIFIC DATE. WE DO GO OUT OF OUR WAY FOR CUSTOMERS SCHEDULES, SO WE SAID YES, AND ARRIVED ON TIME. AS ALWAYS, WE WERE READY TO GO TO WORK, BUT THE CUSTOMER HAD FORGOTTEN OR REMEMBERED INCORRECTLY THE APPOINTMENT THEY HAD MADE. WE THEN DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND SHOWED THEM SOME WAYS TO REMEDY THE SITUATION, AND THEY DID NOT WANT TO FIX THE OVERLOADED CIRCUIT. THAT IS FINE, BUT WE MADE A SPECIAL TRIP EARLY TO FIT THEIR SCHEDULE, AND THERE WERE SOME THINGS SAID THAT I WILL NOT REPEAT AND BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO EMBARRASS ANYONE. THEY ONLY PAID FOR THE SERVICE THEY RECEIVED, AND AS YOU CAN SEE BY MY OTHER HAPPY CUSTOMERS, WE ONLY HAVE HAPPY CUSTOMERS. WE WANT TO MAKE EVERYONE JUMPING-UP-AND-DOWN-HAPPY, BUT SOMETIMES IT CAN'T BE HELPED. GOD BLESS THOSE PEOPLE!

Randy's Electric was professional, courteous & reliable. All of there prices were listed on a form that we went over before the work was done so there were no surprises. I did not have to wonder if I was getting their best deal. Also they warranty their work for life. That is unheard of!

Randy answers the phone "It's a great day at Randy's Electric." I already like the guy. I described the issue and Randy came out on New Year's Eve. He even brought an extra pair of shoes with him to wear inside. The breakers were replaced in literally 2 minutes and he took time to discuss a pending basement remodel with me. His pricing is based on the task completed, not time. That way you know EXACTLY what it will cost ahead of the work.
Description of Work: Replaced 2 older circuit breakers.

We called to leave a message requesting the smoke detector job; Randy Smith answers his telephone almost all the time so we were able to talk immediately despite it being in the evening. He was available a few days later. As he had done wonderful work for us before, we knew were going to hire him. He came promptly on time, discussed the work throughly, and showed his two assistants what needed to be done. They began work immediately, did an excellent job, and were very thorough in cleaning up. They had everything they needed and they ordered a special outlet cover for a weird switch outlet to be delivered the next day. While he was there, Randy suggested doing the GFIs in the kitchen for code compliance if we were to sell and for additional safety. He never pressured us or gave us a hard sell but discussed all the issues carefully. Randy is an excellent electrician (my husband does some himself so he knows the quality), is extremely prompt, pleasant to work with and cleans thoroughly.
Description of Work: Installed hardwired and interconnected four smoke detectors on four floors of 1909 house. (We had battery operated detectors.) After friends had a major house fire where they didn't hear the basement alarm go off because nothing rang on the bedroom floor, we decided to have interconnected hardwired ones installed. Installed a CO detector and installed four GFI outlets in kitchen.
