Outstanding work! They know their business. They do it right the first time. Not the cheapest, but they don't do cheap work. Great communication about the job.

Our basement is/was a hot electrical mess! No one should ever do their own electrical work unless they are a licensed electrician and the person who did our basement shouldn't have. Jason came and fixed it all for us. Outlets with reverse polarity, 2 circuits sharing the same neutral (not code!), installing gfci in the appropriate locations, finally getting rid of our extension cord used for the garage door opener. These are the only guys I will call when needing electrical work done anywhere! Thank you for finally fixing all of "Uncle Jimmy's" f*ups!

We had a box in our basement that frazzled. Called these guys on a whim and keep calling them! They came out and closed up the connection and did a once-over of the "Uncle Jimmy" style electrical. Got the box taken care of and decided it was time to upgrade to a circuit breaker along with complete inspection of the downstairs electrical along with putting in a GFCI outlet in our bathrooms and kitchen, and hardwiring smoke detectors according to building code. My favorite part of the entire experience was finally getting our 4-way switch to actually work! I actually shed a tear when it worked as it should. These guys were great, efficient, funny, and accommodating. What a happy accident to find these guys.

It went great! Dave and his two colleagues (I think Bill and Jason? I'm terrible with names - sorry guys!) were great to work with. They were punctual, professional, hard working and efficient. They noticed other minor issues unrelated to the work I hired them for and provided recommendations (or fixed them on the spot). They also cleaned up the spaces well when they were finished, which is big in my book. I'm very pleased to know I have found electricians that I can trust for future projects and will be recommending them to other family members that have just purchased a fixer-upper of their very own :) I cannot speak to the pricing too well, since this is my first time hiring electricians, but for the amount of time three guys spent working (and working hard), I felt the price was reasonable.

They do a good job. They are reasonably priced unlike many other electricians. They say a certain time and they are there. They are on time.

The light itself was about 25% more than I could have bought it for from an online retailer, and the labor (20 minutes with 2 guys) was about $100. The price seemed high to me, but on the other hand, the work was done flawlessly and everything is fine. The men instructed me on how to work the light (it has settings for staying on all the time, or only when the motion-detector is tripped), and how to limit its 360° detecting function if I wanted to do so. They were prompt, polite, and good at their work. I would use the firm again.

On a Sunday morning my tenant called to tell me my electric mast had become detached from the house. I called a few places I found on Angies list, and Advanced was the first to respond. They were able to get someone out that afternoon. I was not able to be there because I was out of town, but because the problem was outside the house the electrician was able to handle it without entering home. They arrived an hour or two later than they said they could make it, but it didn't matter since they didn't need to get into house - so nobody was waiting for them. My neighbor told me the electrician was able to fix it easily in less than than half an hour. The fee was appx 30% higher than usual rate becaue it was a sunday. parts cost $30. Overall I wasn't happy to be paying that much, but that is what you usually have to do if you have an emergency on a Sunday. I was definitely happy with their responsiveness.

They did a great job. There was some complexity to the job and they did a good job of figuring things out. They may have had some strange hours, but I didn't really care, and they most likely knew that. They were responsive and I trusted them coming in and out of my house and I was away a lot of the time. They gave me a lot of guidance on where things should go as far as symmetry which I really didn't expect out of an electrical contractor, and they explained things very well to me.

It was difficult to find someone who would come out that late, on short notice, and a number of the other companies we called weren't helpful in the least. Advantage was over within the hour and did a great job of checking and double checking everything relevant to make sure there was no danger or issues. The cost was a bit higher than we guessed, but it made sense given the extremely short notice and late time of day.

They returned my call right away and came out for an estimate a few days later. This was a somewhat unusual problem and they spent a lot of time making a careful study of the options before they made the estimate. I was very pleased with the quality of the work and the intelligence of the suggestions that they had for completing the job. They also got rid of some bad wiring and straightened a few extra things out for no extra charge.

I WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE THEM OUT TO DO WORK ON OUR HOUSE IN THE FUTURE. VERY FAST SERVICE. ALL OF THE OTHER COMPANIES I CALLED HAD THEIR ANSWERING MACHINES ON TODAY, HERE I TALKED TO A LIVE PERSON WHO HAD A TECH OUT FAST! VERY IMPRESSIVE!

DID A VERY GOOD JOB. CAME LATE BECAUSE THEY HAD AN EMERGENCY CALL WITH ANOTHER CUSTOMER, BUT STAYED LATE AT MY HOME UNTIL ALL OF THE WORK WAS DONE. A LITTLE MORE COSTLY THAN WHAT I EXPECTED, BUT SEEMED VERY FAIR.
