When I called and talked to Patty she was very helpful and advised me of what I might need to purchase ahead of time to keep the cost as low as possible. The electrician arrived on time and explained what he did and why it was a problem. I also had him look at my washer and dryer that were blowing the circuit breaker when run together. Plus I asked him many questions about updating my home with new sockets, light fixures and light switches. He explained the best ways to go about each of the problems and explained the most economical ways to have the work done. I will use their services again.
Description of Work: replaced bathroom switch that kept shorting out

Excellent work. The electrician was punctual, cleaned up after himself, and explained everything. I will recommend this company to everyone I know.
Description of Work: Installed 2 ceiling fans and the wiring needed for them since there was no light fixtures present in the ceilings. Also separated the lights and fan from an existing ceiling fan so that each function could be used separately from each other.

They only installed one because the pitch on my ceiling was to steep. The electrician talked it over with me to try an figure out a solution. None of them worked, but he was very professional and helpful. The person I spoke with from the office was great and called yesterday to remind me of the appointment.

I was very pleased with the work. It was well done, fast, and I love the changes! I would absolutely hire this company again for either large jobs or several small ones.
Description of Work: Re-wired a small area that had a bathing tub for dogs but no GFI. This involved adding wiring, installing GFI outlets, and installing two banks of track lights with dimmer switches. Also installed new outside light fixtures, a ceiling fan, and added electricity and a switch to bedroom closets that had no lights previously. Also repaired some outlets that did not function properly. The entire job was completed in about 6 hours by a very efficient and competent electrician. I provided the ceiling fan and the light fixtures, but Mendota Electric provided other materials, including switches and outlets.

All the work was done well. He was on time, friendly and courteous. He was willing to work through the issue of old wiring in the living room, which at first he thought would prohibit installing the chandelier. But he kept talking with me about it and was willing to figure it out. He did great work, was prompt, and had a reasonable price. This is the second time I've used them, and I would call them again.
Description of Work: They attached an antique wall sconce and a chandelier, and they uninstalled then reinstalled an outdoor light. At first, he thought the chandelier wouldn't work, but as we talked it through together, he came up with a way to get it done.

From my phone call to the end of the service, my experience with this company was excellent. The electrician was cordial, assessed the problem, did his job, and left in less than 20 minutes. The charge is $95/hr. when paid with a check, and it is more for credit card, and they tell you that up front. I will definitely call them again.

The replacement of the two new light fixtures was done very quickly and professionally. Our doorbell has not been working for two years, and we hired an electrician a year ago to try to fix it with no luck. This time I was going to have a wireless doorbell installed, but Jared researched the problem and found the correct wire, installed a transformer that a furnace repair place probably removed, and the doorbell now works. I was so thrilled with the work Jared did I wanted to hug him, but I did not. If I ever need anything electrical done again, this is the company I will call. All three of these things took only 1 1/2 hours.
Description of Work: He removed and replaced the bath vanity light fixtures, removed and replaced kitchen chandeliers, and he FIXED our doorbell.

I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THIS COMPANY. THEIR WORK WAS GREAT. I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE.
Description of Work: THEY DISCONNECTED POWER FROM SERVICE OUTSIDE, REMOVED OLD FUSE BOX, AND REPLACED LINE FROM METER TO NEW BREAKER BOX. THEY THEN RECONNECTED THE LINES TO THE BOX IN A NEAT FASHION AND CLEANED UP. THE INSTALLED COVER AND EVERYTHING CAME UP FINE. THE INSPECTOR CAME A WEEK LATER AND LIKED THEIR NEAT WORK AS WELL.

We have had Mendota Electric come out four or five times in the past two years for various projects. Originally, I found them on Angie's list and are very happy with their professionalism, responsiveness and quality of service. I have had 3 different technicians and all have been professional, prompt, and friendly. Also, I find the pricing of their work very competitive. We will continue to use them for all of our electrical service needs and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone.
Description of Work: I had Mendota Electric come out twice. Once was to install GFI outlets and fix a faulty light fixture, and the other time was to repair an outlet that had shorted out. Also, I had them install two additional outlets in the laundry room.

Great experience. They came the same day I called, contacted me when they were on their way, fixed the problem, and sent me a bill.
Description of Work: A circuit would not reset. An electrician came out to find out the cause. He tested everything, determined that the circuit did not need to be replaced, but that an outside line was causing a short. He disconnected the outside line and reset the circuit.

The appointment I made was through Patty, who was very pleasant. The electrician arrived promptly at 7:30am as promised (I was first job of the day, so this was to be expected). He was receptive to my questions and concerns regarding whether a new circuit needed to be added (which it turns out it didn't, saving me a couple hundred dollars, at least). He went on to do a simple installation of a GFI receptacle in the garage which went smoothly. Overall, a very good experience, although the demands of the job were not high. The price ($95 for 1 hour labor and $24.65 for parts) was probably concurrent with the competition, although obviously electricians have seemingly high labor charges (just like plumbers).
Description of Work: Installed an extra receptacle (GFI) in my garage. This was at location that was easily reachable by tapping into a switch on the other side of the same wall.

Patty Kelly was contacted about wiring a house for high definition satellite and additional phone upgrades. The people at Mendota Electric were fantastic in their service and level of expertise. I recently purchased a home without any satellite connections and no high speed computer service. Mendota Electric was able to bring the house up to current standards and I would highly recommend them for any electrical work.

I have very high expectations for people who do work in my house. The electrician met those expectations (he was polite to myself and my wife and he acted in a professional manner at all times). It was well worth the $95.
Description of Work: I had an outlet that stopped working. The electrician came out at the scheduled time, figured out that there was a break in the wiring, and fixed and tested the wiring and outlet. I had many questions for the electrician since my house has a lot of aluminum wiring and he answered them all.

Even after writing a letter to the company explaining my concerns, I could get no one to talk to me other than patty, who answers the phone. Patty was very unpleasant. I offered to either pay the additional bill, and share my negative experience with angie's members, or for mendota to waive the latest (bogus) charge. patty prefers the cash. Watch out for their pricing, and failure to get appropriate permits.
Description of Work: mendota moved a light switch for me last summer. They charged me over $200, which seemed very high, but I paid it. Six months later, they sent me another bill for $50. The bill stated rudely that "it has been brought to our attention that you have never paid for the permit" even though they never billed me for it! it turns out that they tried to avoid pulling a permit (required by law) and were caught by the state electrical board. So they came back, and charged me more. The switch works fine, but I certainly paid the price!

Response from Bakken Electric, LLC
I MET WITH PATTY REGARDING THIS INCIDENT AND APOLOGIZE FOR ANY UNPLEASANT BEHAVIOR. WE STRIVE TO ALWAYS PLEASE OUR CUSTOMERS AND IN THIS CASE FELL SHORT. PERMITS ARE NOT REQUIRED FOR REPAIR WORK AND WE OFTEN WILL NOT PULL A PERMIT IF IT'S QUESTIONABLE. WE TRY TO AVOID THE EXPENSE FOR OUR CUSTOMERS WHEN POSSIBLE. THE INSPECTOR REQUIRED THE PERMIT AND WE CHARGED THE CUSTOMER. THIS CUSTOMER DECIDED TO USE ANGIE'S LIST AS RETALIATION FOR HAVING TO PAY FOR A PERMIT. SHE TOLD PATTY THAT SHE WOULD SEND A BAD RATING IF WE ASKED TO BE PAID FOR THIS EXPENSE. WE HOPE TO DO BETTER NEXT TIME! BRYAN HAYES - PARTNER

First, the ''pre-work'' done by the office was great. They asked all the right questions and gave me an accurate estimate on how long the work would take. Second, they phoned me with follow-up reminders the day before service. When Jared arrived, he was on time and very helpful. He offered suggestions on how to save some labor costs, and was quite patient with my list of questions. Will definitely call Mendota Electric first for any future work.
Description of Work: A laundry list of odd jobs including the installation of two ceiling fans, two lights, and a handful of light switches.
