Great! The electrician didn't have to drill into the wall, instead he looked into all options first. He was able to pull a different wire and reconnect the doorbell without any unnecessary drilling. He was very professional and he even put away everything he had to move to access our doorbell.
Description of Work: Our front doorbell wire was cut, so Saye Electric was going to fix it so we would have a doorbell again.

Workers were on time. Returned to help remove outlet strips to make room for new tile installation and returned to reattach after tile was set. Very considerate, neat work, willing to work with my time schedule.
Description of Work: Installed new under counter lighting and outlet strips. Installed new light at front door, added closet light, and a few other small jobs.

We were pleased with the overall result and price. I called around to several other companies (at least one other from Angie's List) and Bob had the most reasonable pricing. Additionally, he returned my calls promptly and although we exchanged messages, he always took the time to answer questions on my voicemail (rather than just saying "call me back") which was helpful, since we kept missing one another. I never reminded him about the Angie's List discount (listed on the website), but he took it off anyhow. Bob did say that if I didn't have junction boxes (I believe that was the term) on the lights that he was converting to ceiling fans, he would have to put them in on site. It turned out that they were needed so that was an additional charge, but he let me know about it before they proceeded. His quote was right on with what I was charged. The only issue that we encountered was that his team was an hour and a half late, but apparently there was a communication issue where they didn't get his message to begin the day at our house (and he was in a meeting and couldn't re-direct them). Considering how efficient Bob was in returning my calls, I believe that this was a rare mistake and it certainly wouldn't keep me from hiring them again.
Description of Work: We are moving and our agent suggested that we upgrade our lighting fixtures. Bob's team replaced 12 lights, including 3 ceiling fans and a 2 story chandelier.

They were very efficient and knowledgeable. We had one slight problem with the security light out front and they promptly fixed it-the morning after I called actually. The porch lights were not allowing the sensor to sense it was dark - it is a motion and light sensor fixture. They built a little shield for the sensor and now it works well.
Description of Work: They installed a security light for my front porch and an electrical outlet for the dryer in my laundry room.

Could not have been more pleased with the service provided by Saye. The technician arrived promptly at the scheduled time, was considerate to remove his shoes when entering the house, and completed the agreed upon work in one quick visit. Service performed included installing a new door bell chime unit that I had purchased previously at a hardware store, and installing a new transformer to support the chime under the house in the crawl space. I found the company on Angie's List and used a coupon from the monthly mailer to get a discount on the service. Very happy customer!!
Description of Work: Installed and wired new door bell chime (inside the house) and new door bell transformer (under the house in the crawl space).

They responded quickly, made an appointment for the first day that was convenient for us. The person who came out was on time, pleasant, worked efficiently and solved our problems.
Description of Work: We had a problem with a breaker that kept shutting off and a ceiling light that kept burning out bulbs within hours or minutes. He fixed both problems and he noticed that we had a problem with the switches on a light with multiple switches, asked if we would like him to fix that and then did so, quickly.

I will not hesitate to use this company again.
Description of Work: The breaker to the AC unit went bad late in the evening. I called Saye at 7:45 AM and they returned my call at 8:05 AM and promised to have someone at my house in about an hour. The electrician pulled in my driveway at 9:00 AM and by 9:30 AM I was leaving for work with the job complete. To top it off, they are invoicing me. Most repair guys want a check in hand before leaving. I found the experience very pleasing.

My experience with them was excellent. The basement was already finished and there wasn't a dropped ceiling. They were able to do the work without carrying out a lot of the ceiling area. In other words they didn't do a lot of damage to the ceiling that I had to have repaired in order to put the wiring in. Even though they were a little higher priced than most electricians, they were so much more knowledgeable that I would pay that extra for specialty work.
Description of Work: They put in recess lighting in the billiard room. They put in all the electrical work needed for a home theater, i.e. projector and surround sound. They put in a new cable for the Direct TV.

It went great! I had used the services of Saye a couple of months ago and was very pleased. The technician arrived on schedule and was very professional. He assisted me in determining exactly how far above the table to hand the chandelier (the old one was far too high). He did a great job in replacing both the lighting fixture and the ceiling fan and gave me a demonstration on how to work the remote for the fan (that was a new experience for me!). I consider Saye Specialty Electric "my" electricians!
Description of Work: I wanted to have a ceiling fan in the den and a chandelier in the kitchen replaced.

Daryl was professional, punctual, patient with our questions, and got the job done. We will call Saye Electric again when we need any electrical work done.
Description of Work: We made an emergency call to Saye Electric when we discovered an unusual electrical smell in our office one afternoon. As promised, within an hour an electrician (Daryl) came by and discovered that we had experienced a surge of power, blowing out four surge protectors. (He explained the problem in a way we could understand: each of the two "legs" of power should be 110, but one was now 130-something and the other was 90-something.) He diagnosed the problem as being somewhere between the street and the building, so he even called Duke Power to deal with it. Later, after Duke had come by to make a temporary fix so we had regular power, Daryl came again to confirm that all was well with the power now inside the building.

Contacted Bob Saye just before the Fourth of July holiday. He came out the evening before the 4th to look over the job, then hand delivered a written estimate to me the next day (we had no internet/e-mail yet). Two young men arrived the following day to start the work. They were pleasant, courteous, focused on their tasks, and listened to my questions and ideas. Bob Saye arrived to supervise the replacement of the foyer fixture. Jeff, one of the electricians, took pains to clean the glass bell jar and Bennett offered to touch up a spot on the fixture with some paint (it was a used fixture). I was delighted with the results! Bob provided guidance on the under-cabinet lighting job as to what type of light fixtures I could purchase. His men went under the house to wire it all to one dimmer switch. Since one of the new fans I had purchased was defective, Bob Saye himself came on a Saturday to switch it out, no charge. Fair, decent, excellent service & responsive.
Description of Work: Multiple electrical and lighting jobs performed after I moved into the house. Replaced fixture in 2 story foyer. Installed under-cabinet lighting in kitchen and wired to dimmer switch. Installed 2 ceiling fans. Installed exterior fixture on deck. Installed numerous dimmers. Repositioned "eyeball" lights over fireplace mantle and in master bath. Hooked up wiring for attic power vent fan.

I called and a person answered the telephone on the second ring. I was immediately given a date to expect service that was suitable to me. Two employees appeared 10 minutes early and did their work to our satisfaction. I was told I would be invoiced and received bill within 3 days. They did what they said they would, when they would, high quality of service, at a reasonable price.

Asked to check/fix outdoor light, estimate more work. Told they charge for entire visit--including time for estimate. No one else returned my calls, I agreed. Young man was professional, thorough, replaced light with new fixture Saye helpfully suggested I buy ''just in case.'' Paid $120.00 for 20 minutes actual work, rest of time was for estimate to be mailed by end of the week. Several weeks, no estimate. Called 2x. Not only had I not received estimate I PAID FOR, had to threaten bad Angie's report to get response. Estimate finally received was twice cost of another company who did a great job. As freelancer, I estimate all the time for companies - some buy, some don't. It's the cost of doing business - have never charged/been charged for someone to pitch business/for me to pitch theirs. I understand busy, things fall through cracks sometimes. But keeping me waiting, making me call twice, for something I paid for (& shouldn't have)is not a great way to gain customers/good PR.
Description of Work: Tested, replaced outdoor lighting, estimated new cable wiring, closet lighting, changing light controls, estimate for future work

Response from Saye Specialty Electric Inc
I REMEMBER THIS FORMER CUSTOMER AND I, BOB SAYE, AM TRULY SORRY THAT SHE IS DISPLEASED. I TAKE OUR BLACK MARKS PERSONALLY AND FEEL COMPELLED TO RESPOND. WE DIDN'T CHARGE FOR HER ESTIMATE. AS MUTUALLY AGREED PRIOR TO OUR HOME VISIT - WE RESPONDED TO A REQUEST FOR SERVICE AND HAD 1 1/2 TOTAL HOURS IN THE JOB INCLUDING DRIVE-UP AND ADMINISTRATIVE TIME ASSOCIATED WITH JOB AT OUR POSTED FAIR MARKET VALUE RATE OF $80 PER HOUR. WHILE THERE OUR LEAD TECH., JAMES, DID ASSESS FOR COSTING ADDITIONAL WORK. I DID DROP THE BALL OBTAINING INFORMATION FROM JAMES AND CONVEYING IT TO A WRITTEN PROPOSAL. THE CUSTOMER MAY HAVE CALLED TWICE BUT I HAVE A RECOLLECTION OF ONE CALL SHE GAVE JUST AN HOUR PRIOR TO ME ISSUING THE WRITTEN ESTIMATE. THAT WAS ALSO THE VERY FIRST MENTION THAT SHE IS/WAS AN ANGIE'S LIST MEMBER. AT THAT POINT I SHIFTED GEARS AND WANTED TO 'SAVE FACE', TOO LITTLE TOO LATE I GUESS. I WON'T APOLOGIZE FOR OUR PRICE BEING HIGHER THAN OUR COMPETITION. ANYBODY CAN DO A JOB CHEAPER, ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAVE BENEFIT OF A PREVIOUS PRICE. WE DON'T DO MUCH QUOTED WORK FOR OUR TIME AND MATERIAL (HOURLY) WORK BEING VERY PLENTIFUL. PERHAPS I SHOULD HAVE HAD BETTER POSITIVE INTERACTION WITH THIS CUSTOMER WHETHER I KNEW HER TO BE AN ANGIE'S LIST MEMBER - OR NOT. WE'LL HAVE BETTER LUCK WITH OTHER NEW AND REPEAT CUSTOMERS THAT SEEM TO APPRECIATE US. GOD BLESS. BOB SAYE, SAYE SPECIALTY ELECTRIC, INC.

I called in the morning and left message. They returned my call that afternoon and had an electrician at my house the following morning. The electrician, Darrel, was very pleasant, courteous, and knowledgeable. He had the problem solved and fixed in 45 minutes. He took the time to show me the problem and explain why this was causing the circuit to trip. A truly first class experience. I will be recommending them to all of my friends.
Description of Work: One of our circuit breakers would not work. They diagnosed the problem and traced it to loose wires in one of our bathroom outlets. They fixed the wires and solved the problem. They also fixed a light switch that was wired incorrectly.

They were on time and were done very quickly. They brought the fan w/them and installed it, vented the fan and installed a switch for the fan next to the light switch. They fixed whatever problem we were having with the bedroom closet light and the hall light. They were done faster than they estimated. The price was very reasonable. They cleaned up after themselves very well.
Description of Work: They installed a bathroom fan with wiring where a fan didn't exist. They fixed a light switch problem our bedroom closet light was somehow linked to the hallway lights. When the closet light was on and the hall light was off, you could see a dim glow from the hall lights.
