Working with Master Electric was a more terrible experience than I could have ever imagined. Among the reasons were: it took two months for them to start the job, they left the job unfinished for a month with no communication, they had no resources to coordinate any of the activity on the job, they became unresponsive to email, and they were always unprepared for the work. At one point the office manager said that their operation was "a three-ring circus" to which I absolutely agreed. I could go on, but I'll just strongly suggest you do not hire them. It took 6 months for 5 outlets and a service upgrade to be done to my house, which is completely unreasonable. They only reason they don't get an "F" grade is because the job is, finally, actually complete. The worst part might be that at no point did Master Electric express any remorse for the way things went, nor did they try to do anything to try to make things right.

Paul showed up on time and was extremely knowledgeable. He reviewed the project, we discussed details. I really liked Paul. However, when he left Paul told me he would have an estimate to me in the morning. Morning came and went, no estimate. I wrote Paul an email to check the status and to make sure he had the right email address. He wrote me back two days later and apologized and said he was swamped. But he also said he would work on the estimate right now. Several more days passed by and still no word from Paul. What bothers me is not that he is swamped, but he kept telling me he would get me something and then not do it. I would have preferred if he said I’m real busy and I’ll have the estimate to you in a week, or something to that effect. Instead he strung me along. Now even if he got me an estimate I would not trust his word as to when he would start. A real shame.

I am very sorry we did not respond. I checked our computer this morning and have no record of receiving a call or e-mail from you. Perfect we are not, but we do return e-mails and phone calls. We have been in business for over 48 years and strive everyday to give the best service we can. I'm glad at least you were able to get the service you needed and were pleased with the response.

Excellent work and service. Paul was very professional and knowledgeable of the projects I had. He went out of his way and held true to his word. He was both responsive and reasonable and provided an in-depth professional estimation of the job at hand by itemizing each part. I was really impressed by not only him but the entire crew that he had sent out both times. They were all highly skilled, courteous, neat, clean and very professional. I would highly recommend them for any electrical work, as I did select them again to do another job, which was done just as professionally a month later.

Great. Paul was very patient, knowledgeable and reasonable. Would definitely hire again. Went out of his way to make me feel comfortable and didn't overcharge. Only downside was he initially assumed a faulty outlet was not the fault of the receptacle itself and assumed it was a larger issue so instead of it being a quick repair, we had to wait another week for him to send someone else to finish the job, and it did end up being a faulty outlet. Overall, however, he was very responsive and reasonable, and the guy he sent to finish the job was both quick and professional. I'd recommend the company to anyone.

We have no excuse. Overloaded the last few weeks with work. One tech out with an injury, another sick. Trying to cover the estimates and take care of emergency calls. Out of town attending training now. I thought we told Mr. [Member Name Removed] we would not be able to have his estimate for a couple weeks. I will personally call him when I return to apologize.

He called me when he finished call and was in route to our property so we could meet him there (7:30pm). He was very thorough starting at the locked box attached to the meter and checking everything out (even as the lights went out). He determined there was a connection that was not on properly and was sparking. He immediately re-centered and tightened it. This resolved the problem. I was very appreciative of him willing to come out after hours due to the nature of the situation. While he was out, we asked him to give us a quote on updating the electrical.
Description of Work
One of the units in our rental property had the lights flickering on and off. I called Master Electric and indicted the problems we were having and told him I felt it was an emergency and was hoping they could come out (it was about 5pm). Paul said he would come out the same evening after he finished the current call he was on.

Excellent! The electricians and supervisor were all very professional, and brought my Aunt' s home up to code so we could feel safe about our family members living there!
Description of Work
We needed a lot of work done to bring my Aunt' s house up to code. Over the years she had had a friend do a lot of work. The friend was not an electrician, and this created some dangerous electrical situations. Master Electric came in and gave us a quote on the obvious things that we could see needed to be repaired/corrected. As they were getting deeper into the job, more dangerous wiring was discovered. Master Electric discussed the change in scope with my husband before proceeding with the additional work. They showed him what they found, and discussed price and provided a quote for the additional work. My husband had gone to school to be an electrician (before a career change), so he had an appreciation for what they were showing him and the work involved. He felt the electricians on the job were very skilled. We also appreciated that we received prompt return calls whenever we had a question. A year after the work was done, I needed some documentation for my Aunt, and Master Electric pulled the records and provided what I needed the same day.

I kept calling and didn't actually get them here. They never got here. To get them here, you had to pull teeth. Maybe they're that busy, but it was atrocious. I finally got them out here after calling them for six months to see if they were coming. He said, "I'll be back to fix it," and now eight months later and they never came back. There was no call. They could have said, "We're very busy at this time. I don't think we can take you work. Maybe it's better if you try somebody else."
