Cullen charges a premium, but you get premium service for it. I have used them for flood recovery and for replacing knob and tube wiring in two big old buildings. Frankly, I can't imagine anybody doing a better job. The whole Cullen team has been highly competent and unfailingly professional in the months I've spent with them working in my office and home. They show up when they say the will and do the work they say they are going to do. Their electrician Lili is as sharp and careful as they come. She's an ace at rewiring knob and tube. Plus she always goes out of her way to do things right and make things better. Doing the job that is in front of you well is usually the best you can hope for. Lili goes beyond, figuring out how it could be better even when you wouldn't have thought of it on your own. It is tempting to take the cheaper bid, and I'm sure you will find somebody who says they'll do it cheaper--but in my experience if you go with Cullen you'll be glad you did it.

Previously before Pandemic they did good work Recently not so good. A lot of follow-up work was needed. Just not the same quality. It appears installing our light pile that we bought was a bit much. Whatever the the issue, it was hard to get them to come back out, and in the end the owner didn't hold his technician's feet to the fire, making the repair and fix what he said he'd do. Several times they didn't show I was upset. In the they they drove by and things " looked" fine. Well, the fix was supposed to be either replacing the nut and nipple post which fastens the center post light to our new lamp pole. And or using liquid welding. Sadly, we were home for 2 days and today's excuse after 6 pm was he drove by, and after emailing the owner, the technician either drove by again or sat in his car in the driveway. The manager, technician was all talk. The owner blamed it on the manufacturer. Meanwhile I had talked about future work. We just wanted this done right. We've got the picture of the center post light coming loose and flopping over. We showed the manager, technician how it came loose twice during installation and when supposedly fixed by him. I can't recommend there company and people. You might get an initial estimate and work, but what good is it if they are sloppy, forget to do things, drop tools left and right in your house, or can't be trusted to complete a job. Not all work is as easy as it seems, yet installing a light pole, over-torquing parts or maybe forgetting a part to incorrect assembly is more likely than manufacturer problems.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts here on Angie's List. You did in fact have service shortcomings on your original installation. That was recognized, accepted, and is why a different team was dispatched to your home the following day and corrected those items to your satisfaction. It was also the reason we dispatched our Ops Manager to repair the manufacturer's issue shown in the picture you provided. The manufacturing defect with the light pole you provided was fixed the first time the Ops Manager was sent out to investigate the problem. The fact it survived a severe thunderstorm with 80 mile an hour winds this past weekend is proof that repair was effective. If you have further issues with your light we will be happy to respond and fix them. It would be fair to also display the picture of your repaired light as well. Since the picture you provided is NOT the condition the light is in presently. I appreciate your business and am sorry we let you down on this stop. I have done everything as a business owner to appease you. Your job is complete and we thank you for the opportunity to serve you again. Andy Cullen

Quote was $646.15. I thought that was high, but I agreed to it. Work was fine. The e-mailed invoice came with no itemization and I was told that their invoices don't allow that, in spite of the fact that there was a line for the LED panel, but no cost noted. After I complained about the invoice, I noted a $79 Angie's List discount, but this has not shown up in my credit card account. Their invoice explanation was lame. I was always happy with previous usages of this provider, but they are off my list now!

Thank you for your sharing your thoughts! As you stated when we perform service calls we ascertain the scope of work with the homeowner and proffer pricing prior to repairs being made. As you stated the installation cost of 646.15 was accepted by you before we began work on those projects. As you stated the installation was performed professionally and for the agreed upon price. If our pricing was higher than you expected, we would have left prior to services being rendered, and thanked you for the opportunity to earn your business! Negotiating agreed on pricing after the installation defies good faith efforts by all parties. Services were rendered professionally, and in good faith as described, and charged as expected. in 2019 we changed to a flat rate pricing model to make things easier for both the techs in the field and the consumer to understand the full scope of pricing up front. This avoids the "tech took 15 minutes on the phone, and 5 mins in the bathroom and charged me" potential drama. The cost is firm. There is an "Angie's List Member Discounted Service Call Pricing (- $20.00 off of $99.00 Standard Service Charge)". $79.00 We then itemize special materials for WARRANTY tracking purposes in the lines that follow and they are quantified, in most cases, as 0. We then list a scope of work line item that has the scope of work listed and that line contains the TOTAL cost of materials and labor. Pre-estimated work may not follow this exact format. You were not charged more than the agreed upon price. We do not refund money on charges that were agreed upon, unless there were extraneous service shortcomings. That was not the case here by your own statements. Please reach out and let me know who agreed to a refund as no one here recalls making that promise. We err on the side of our valued homeowners when we come up short. This doesn't seem to be one of those times. We thank you for your business and wish you all the best!

Went well. No complaints other than the fact I thought they were pricey. I had to get over the sticker shock of the cost for this service. Electricians were professional, wore masks while indoors (COVID protocol) and cleaned up after themselves. I would hire Cullen again.

From the quoting process to instalation, everything was done professionally and with great care in mind. There are a lot of companies in this space but few can hold a candle to Cullen Electric, in my mind. There were a few complicating factors with completing the install but the electricians made great recommendations and I trusted their guidance. It was because of this that I opted to have the company do more work when they came out. I also appreciated the care the electricians took with my property. They had on all of the necessary equipment to make me comfortable. All of the aforementioned was at a price that was in my budget and with a great warranty on the work. I have since referred this company to several colleagues and family members and look forward to having their help with another project. Thanks again Cullen Electric on a job well done! Sincerely, Very Satisfied Customer

I called and spoke to a "real person" that scheduled my first available appointment. Cullen Electric was able to install our new fan at 8:00 am the next day. She was very good. The crew of two arrived on time. They disassembled and disconnected the 18 year old ceiling fan; assembled and installed the new ceiling fan. Polite and efficient and professional. Flat rate price ($189.00) was the same as the quote I received over the phone. They took the old fan and the packaging for the new fan with them. They handed me the instruction book and warranty card that came with the new fan. Cullen Electric installs a lot of fans. It could not have been easier.
