Never hire Square One. Initially our only problem was that they got into an argument with the inspector regarding electrical code related to grounding the entire system. Once that was resolved and inspector had signed off, we figured that the minor remaining issues could be fixed by my husband (an electrical engineer). Minor being a couple incorrectly wired light switches. However we found a major issue today in the process of moving a kitchen cabinet. Rather than properly rewire the kitchen outlets, we discovered that they had simply run the wire through the back of the cabinets. That means that none of it was done to code because all wire is required to go through studs. Code is there to prevent accidental cutting of wires which is exactly what happened while we were removing the cabinet. We strongly recommend that no one ever hire Square One.

It was after hours, so there was an added charge - but they were prompt, polite and very professional!

Fine Square One gave my call to Clackamas Electric. Probably because there was someone who could take the problem quickly. The electrician arrived and checked to be sure there were no other problems than the one circuit. This was not the case, however. He replaced the burned out gfci and so it was all done so efficiently. The reason that I marked them down for price is that there was a $250 emergency service charge that no one mentioned to me. Evidently I would have had to wait a couple of weeks ordinarily and they had to call someone off an ongoing job to take the call. The actual price was $140 or so.

Our estimate was great, quick and informative. We booked the appointment and got the work done quickly. Very pleased with how well they diagnosed our lighting fixture and were able to fix it, plus discovered the switch also needed fixing. Very pleased, we got estimates for more work that we will definitely hire them again for in the future.

They did amazing work for me. It has been 7 years since they have done work for me. As soon as I can afford to have them finish the work I will have them back. They are the best!

Mark came out that same afternoon, addressed and fixed the problem, then went into the attic to see what might have caused the can to push through the ceiling(he found a piece of plywood over the rafters where the can is and determined that the workers who installed a new furnace for us evidently stoo d on it and loosened the can light. He cleaned up after himself and showed pictures he'd taken of the situation. In the future, I will call them for any electrical needs.

They were good. He did a real good job, went straight to it, he explained what he did, he’d shown what he had done and he was great. I wish I could remember his name because he was really good. The guy who came out to do our stuff was really thorough, he was really clean. Everything is working so he obviously did a good job. He was real informative too about what he did and I like that. I think we got real good value for the dollar.

Amazing! Holly, Jeff, James and Mike were awesome. Scheduling with Holly and estimate from Jeff were fast and easy. James and Mike came out to do the work. They were punctual, fast and did a great job. There was one little issue and James came back and had it fixed in 10 mins with in a few days. Love these guys!

Square 1 was quick to send an estimator, provide a quote and schedule the work. They were easy to work with and very professional. The job was done as promised and in the timeframe that was promised. The quality of workmanship is very high.

It went fine. Beautiful installation. It could have been very difficult. He stuck with it. He was muttering under his mouth, well how the hell am I going to do that. He pulled it off. It was an beautiful installation. The price is a little high. They specialize in old homes. That is why it cost more. The first electrician said they wouldn't even touch it.

Square 1 is awesome. And they were fairly priced. I have used them before and would use them again in a heartbeat. He found the problem so quickly and was able to answer questions we had, so that we are more knowledgeable next time.

It went great! Mark and Jacob got here earlier than anticipated but they did call to say they were on the way (I like that). Listened to my sad tale of woe, checked several things (circuit box, the outlets and lights, etc). Identified and fixed the problems quickly. Seemed very thorough in their work, both were friendly and professional, and didn't mind answering my many questions or addressing my concerns. Was definitely a bright spot in my day! I'm a happy camper again!

Very well, SQ1 Electric was professional, quick and informative. I called yesterday afternoon, and received a call back a little later to schedule, informing them I had a telecom scheduled at 8:00 so they kindly moved it forward to 7.00a.m.
