Gary was prompt in giving us an estimate that we agreed upon. He went out of his way to not only do the work we talked about but to also fix a few other things he thought could be hazardous, free of charge. Overall Gary was professional and reliable and I've recommended him to our friends.
Description of Work: Gary installed a new electrical box. He also installed motion lights in our back yard, as well as grounded outlets throughout the house. Gary also fixed faulty wiring, added junction boxes and raised our exterior electrical line to bring it to code.

I am very happy with the work that Gary did. It is very important to him to do the job right. He even gave me a big discount on the installation of my over cabinet lights to convince me to wire them all together, rather than just put them on timers. I'm really glad that he did that because it's certainly much more convenient this way. Also, Gary always has been personable and always shows up when he says he will. I will definitely hire him again.
Description of Work: Installed ceiling fans, under/over cabinet lights, dimmers, pendant lights, chandelier, and a whole house surge protector. Included all materials except fans, pendants, and chandelier.

Gary came out to give us a quote. We got three quotes. His quote came in the middle. He spent an hour with us and walked us through of what needed to be done. The other guys spent less than twenty minutes. Gary was attentive and he wanted to understand our needs from the get go. He's dependable and responsive to our phone calls. He did way and beyond any of our other contractors. We will only use GMS Electric.

Great. I would recommend them.
Description of Work: GMS put in an outdoor GFI outlet extension. They were fast to respond and did a great job. They were also kind enough to help us with determining needs on a ceiling fan installation at no additional charge (confirming wiring and box setup so I could do it myself).

At the time, I was having my bathroom and downstairs remodeled, and Donahue had sub-contracted GMS to do the electrical work. I believe that the outcome was just fine. I have no electrical issues, and I am quite satisfied. The man who was here was quite the wise man; he was very intelligent in his ways and also very polite. I would probably give them a call next time on my own rather than through Donahue if I needed to. Pricing was included in the contractor's price, which I am not able to remember at this time.
Description of Work: GMS ran all the electrical wiring in my bathroom and the downstairs of my 2 1/2 story home.

The electric in our new kitchen is great. We have plenty of lighting now. I also like the numerous outlets that they installed. All the work was up to code the first time. We are pleased with our general contractor in selecting GMS to do the electric work. Our general contractor paid them.

I think he did a really good job. All the work that he did turned out perfect and up to code. I could definitely tell that he knew his stuff. The contractor paid him so I don't know the costs involved.
Description of Work: GMS Electric put a light and outlet in our screened in porch and an additional light and outlet on the outside of the porch. He ran all the wiring in the walls and connected it to the panel box.

They are a good company to work with. They were very courteous and concerned with doing a good job. I was pleased with it all. Everything is working great. I did not pay them directly. Their charges were in our contractor s bill.

I have used this company in the past and they have always worked in a very professional and trustworthy way. There were no difficulties and they were very dependable. This company always makes sure to put the customer first and answer all of your questions. They are personable and reliable. I would recommend this company as well.

I would say that I was a satisfied customer after using this company. We actually needed the new furnace and air conditioner installed because we had added a whole new family room onto our home. As a result, we needed to have probably the largest system made in order to heat and cool that new addition and the rest of our home as well. So, we have dealt with a lot of contractors, as you can imagine. This company had friendly employees, they completed their work in a timely fashion and I felt like they were very considerate in my home. They cleaned up after themselves and left our home so that we would never have known they were here in the first place.
Description of Work: Our home needed a new furnace and air conditioning unit to be installed. Our old one had to be removed, also in order to have that unit installed. I do not recall the exact size of the unit, but I can tell you that it was one huge system that was put in.

GMS did a fine job with the pool. We had a few jobs done over time and I can only remember the total price of all the jobs. I ended up spending $150,000 to have the things done I needed done. This was not a bad price considering the low prices offered by each company. GMS and their workers are just great. Everything turned out accordingly and I have no complaints at all.
Description of Work: GMS ran all the electrical work in my pool house that they also had built for me.

I am very pleased with them and all the work that they have done for me. GMS was not my original hire, I actually hired a man named Kelley McCartel who sub contracted GMS out for me to do this work. They did a very fine job and I have no problems with them at all. They did do a lot of work so I am unable to give a price quote to you. There were many different things involved with many different prices attached.
Description of Work: GMS Electric built out a rump off the side of my house. They had to do several things. GMS raised the roof, framed it all in, ran some wiring in one of my rooms and also installed a few outlets.

We got real quality work from them, and it was all up to code the first time around. The lighting is perfect for the vanity. There is good access to outlets. We spent $20,000 on this bathroom, so I know the contractor was not going to bring in just anybody to do the electric in it. I can't comment on price since this was my wife's project, as I just paid the final bill. It sounds like a large bill, but it is a large bathroom with granite and custom tile work.
Description of Work: We had our master bathroom completely gutted all the way down to the wall studs. Once it was gutted, they ran all new wiring, hooked up the light fixtures over the vanity, and installed the ventilation fan. We have new outlets as well, maybe three. I don't know the size of my bathroom, but it's large.
