I wanted the thermostat for my central air conditioner replaced with a "smart" wifi thermostat that I had purchased. Also there were a few minor things I wanted done as well. The existing thermostat only ran on AA batteries and there was no power wire to connect to the thermostat where the thermostat that was to be installed. John went up in the attic where the air conditioner was and re-did the wiring there so that a power wire was available at the thermostat location. He and his assistant then replaced a light switch in the kitchen and rewired a faulty light fixture in the basement. Everything went beautifully. I have used John several times and I am always impressed with his knowledge and the solutions he always comes up with. Truly a can do guy!
Description of Work: I needed a sensi smart thermostat installed

Hired John to repair an exterior light fixture. I didn’t want to replace it, and John was able to replace the socket in the fixture. He didn’t push me toward costlier services than I needed. He was quick and had all the parts handy. I also hired him to assemble and install a ceiling fan (replacing a light fixture). He offered a few options for how to wire it and control it from light switches, with remotes, etc. The final choice worked fine and it’s running well with no wobbling. I will hire him again to install a fan in another room, and other electrical projects when needed. (I didn’t rate him on price because I didn’t compare prices before hiring him — I hired him based on his reputation, and am glad I did.)
Description of Work: Installed a ceiling fan; repaired a light fixture.

John was more than punctual, actually arrived early at my parent's home for a job that probably he did not know would take longer to finish unless he looked at it in person. So the early arrival worked out because he finished at a time that I anticipated. Work was clean and even provided some advice for possible electrical problems he spotted in the house but we're not budgeted to work on those yet. The new dishwasher was actually missing a part but John was able to wire it safely that we didn't need to get that part - saved some time and money. We hadn't used a plumber for awhile at the house, so although the cost didn't quite surprise me, I did underestimate. But with high quality work, you get what you pay for! Will definitely use John again.

Perfectly. John made a neat, perfectly balanced installation, avoiding all the funny objects in the closet, concealing all the cables, and cleaning up totally.

Excellent. He fixed the outlets in the one room by resetting the circuit breaker and he didnt charge for that. The kitchen outlet was tied to another outlet that has the button for being near water and that wasn't working. He was able to fix that pretty quickly by replacing it and then both outlets worked fine.
Description of Work: Outlets in one room were not working and one in the kitchen.

Very smoothly. Mr. Pastore is a real expert, experienced and versatile. This is an old house, and each item required some special adjustments accordingly. He was able to adapt to each situation, and had all the necessary equipment on hand.

Great Work! John and his helper were very professional and straightforward. They even finished the job one day sooner than expected. The work was meticulously done. Yes, a job like this looks expensive but you're paying for the piece of mind that the work was done correctly THE FIRST TIME and your home is safe. I wouldn't trust anyone else for electrical services on my home!
Description of Work: Replaced three circuit breakers in a really old Queens house; taking into account various appliances that are pulling more electricity. Also consolidating and replacing damaged wires that fried when the power went out a few years ago (something that was supposedly done by a former not-so-good-electrician but was not done correctly).

It went great. We had a few scheduling problems initially, but John was very responsive and made sure that everything was done on time. He was on top of things and communicated over the phone and email.
Description of Work: I had approximately 15 outlets replaced throughout my apartment. They were very old, two-prong (non-grounded) outlets and were replaced with new, up-to-date, grounded, tamper resistant outlets. John also installed three new outlets for me, including one that was integrated into a built-in bookself, and upgraded an outlet in my bathroom.

John did a great job. He showed up exactly when promised for both the estimate and the work itself and he and his assistant finished the tasks quickly and professionally. We're new to our house, and John also put our minds at ease about some confusing/old wiring in our laundry room. He's not the least expensive electrician, but his work is sound and his professionalism is top-notch. We would hire him again.

When the appointment was made, I was told that I would be his 2nd stop and that he would arrive between 10am-11am. He never arrived until 3:00pm. Never called to say he would be late. His work was good but he was very expensive. He charged us $39 for a light pull chain. Normally sells for $0.99-$1.99 He also left our house a mess. Never cleaned up after himself.
Description of Work: Replaced one wall outlet Replaced one overhead light pull chain ($39) Repaired one bathroom wall light above sink. Replaced motion light in backyard (light was previously purchased by customer)
