Description of Work: Good electrician. Poor front office work. They scheduled my inspection on a Friday afternoon and inspector came at 8:30 am. When I called their office to have them call inspector for reschedule they said "we can't promise morning or afternoon, we can only request." I told them that would have been nice to know the FIRST time I scheduled. As it was I missed half day of work then had to take another day off for the inspection. I like the work they did at my house but really not happy with their front desk people

Our home was in need of new ventilation in the main bathroom as mold was beginning to build on the ceilings. Two windows were the main source of venting steam out of the bathroom, but an exhaust fan was needed to help combat the problem. I put in a request for an electrician online at Service Magic. Kurt was quick to respond to our request. He was accommodating to with our schedule to install our bathroom exhaust fan. Every aspect of the job was professional. Installation was clean and seamless. Highly recommended and will use again when electrical work is needed.
Description of Work: Installed a bathroom exhaust fan into a 1928 Tudor home which had only windows to vent out the steam from the shower.

Installer was punctual, efficient and skilled. He did a great job. Square 1 has also given me a bid on more electrial work in another unit, and I plan to use them for that.
Description of Work: Installed overhead ceiling fan in rental apartment. Cost included all materials and labor. The job proved to be relatively easy since there was lots of open space to run the vent tubing above and behind the bathroom walls.

I have had much construction over the years and I can honestly say that no other contractor has been easier to work with. From start to finish Square 1 was excellent!
Description of Work: I was very impressed with square 1 electric. Kurt the owner came out to look at the project and explained in detail the process he would recommend for installation. He was very clear in his vision and saw things other contractors missed. After Square 1 was hired my impression of the company continued as I was throughly impressed with the professionalism of the installation. I love my new room and could not imagine this space without the expert advice that I received from Square 1 Electric. They went above and beyond and I would strongly recommend them to my friends and family.

Great, we called him and he came over, gave us a fair estimate. We chose our fixtures and he contacted the store to receive the contractor's discount. Once they were available, he promptly called and made an appointment to install them.
Description of Work: Kurt came to our house and installed several new light fixtures. He checked the wires to make sure they were safe and sound and removed our old fixtures, cleaned up the debris left from the installation.

Kurt was extremely easy to work with. I had a detailed list of what I wanted changed, and he had some helpful suggestions about what kind of fixtures to use and how to get the job done without cutting too many holes in the walls. He was also very responsive and had a quick turnaround in getting me a bid. The actual work went smoothly. The electricians were conscientious about not disturbing our old plaster too much and cleaning up as they went. They put in a 10 hour day in the middle of the job to make sure we would have lights upstairs overnight when they were halfway through rewiring some circuits. They used good quality materials throughout and double checked all their work. The only concerns I had with Square 1 were more on the paperwork side of things. The estimate I got was not very detailed. Since I had provided a detailed list of work I felt okay about that but otherwise I'd worry about miscommunication about work to be done. Also it took a little longer than expected to get the permit opened and to get the final inspection taken care of. I don't know how much of that was city bureaucracy vs. Square 1 not having a big staff to deal with that side of things. Ultimately I got the work that I wanted done in a professional manner and for a very good price, so I would definitely call Square 1 again.
Description of Work: Square 1 re-wired most of my 1906 house. They removed the old knob and tube wiring and ran new wiring to all existing fixtures and receptacles. They added several new switches and ceiling fixtures and added some outlets to the basement and front and back yards. They installed a new heater+vent fan in one bathroom and a baseboard heater in one bedroom. They also fixed some pre-existing problems such as an open ground in a kitchen circuit and some bad splices in the attic.

The electrical failed on New Years Eve which left the majority of the house without power. Kurt sent one his guys over immediately to see if it was a quick fix. While we could have potentially put a band-aid on the old electrical, we decided to upgrade the electrical. Kurt sent his team over on New Years day so that we could have power over the long weekend. They showed up on time and worked for 2.5 days to get the job done. Great group of guys that were extra careful cutting into the old Lath and plaster so that we would have limited patchwork. Kurt gave us an extremely reasonable quote and guaranteed that he would not go over it. He stuck to his word. The job was done well and I highly recommend Kurt and his team if you are in need of electrical work.
Description of Work: updated the existing nob and tube wiring in our 100 y/o home which included all of the second floor and some of the first floor. Section of our home had been updated.

Everything went very well - the gentleman who gave us an estimate was very prompt and professional. The electrician who did the work got it all done much sooner than expected - we were told it would take all day and it just took 3 hours. He was very thorough and professional. I would not hesitate to use Square 1 Electrical in the future.

Kurt was called on Monday afternoon to have someone, preferably him, to come out to reroute a light switch in our basement. He did call back right away, and said that he could have someone out at 8:00 Tuesday (the next morning). My husband was here at the time. Kurt rerouted the switch. We had to pay for a permit. The work was completed within the hour. ($75.00 for the work, and $45.00 for the permit.) My husband reported, "Fast response, Very professional. Worked quickly. Very happy with Kurt."
Description of Work: My husband changed out a light in our basement, but was unable to reestablish a connection with the switch at the top of the stairs. A new connection was made to an existing switch at the bottom of the stairs.

They did a really good job. What I really liked was that they gave a detailed bid. A lot of the work required some investigation because it wasn?t new wiring and they had to figure out what the problem was. They stuck to their bid. We made one change, so they did a change order that was very reasonable. They were very reliable.
Description of Work: We have an old house, and there was some wiring that was off. There were some three-way switches that didn’t switch three ways. We also needed an additional light outlet installed.

We got interested in installing a whole house fan to help cool down our upstairs on hot days. The problem is that we don't have a big attic to vent to, but mainly vaulted ceilings. Kurt came out to take a look at our situation and came up with an unorthodox solution that would work with our house set-up. He suggested to install an attic fan in the small attic and air intake vents to the living room and master bed room to pull hot air out and let cool air come in at night thorugh the windows. He also replaced our old electric panel that was one of these dangerous old ones. Everything went very well. They installed everything within a day. They did a thorough job and cleaned up after them. The fan solution works great. We could test it with a few dyas in the 90s right after installation. Compared to another company that came out that had many years of experience, Kurt had fresh and innovative ideas and seemed to have a good grasp of current eco-friendly solutions. That's why we chose him although he has only had his business for a couple of years.

We returned from a trip to find a water pipe leaking in our basement. When a plumber replaced the leaky galvanized pipe with a piece of pex pipe, none of us realized that his actions broke the electric ground. Ultimately, our water heater, soaked from another leak, burst into flames. When the water heater people tried to hook up the new one, sparks flew and blew out a circuit panel. Kurt at the time was working for the electric company recommended to us by the water heater people. We were so impressed with his knowledge, efficiency and pleasant nature. At one point Kurt called his boss to tell him what he was doing, and we could hear his side of their argument. This happened a couple more times before the boss came to inspect the work. The boss apologized to Kurt, seeing that Kurt's work plan was the best way to proceed. During all of this Kurt maintained his quiet demeanor. Because we were so impressed with him, we asked Kurt to bring his business card when he started his own business. When we called, he came by, told us how much it would cost to finish the job and made an appointment for the next week. Again he worked efficiently, finishing the job within the day. We feel confident and comfortable that if we have an emergency or other electrical work to be done, he would be readily available to help.
Description of Work: Kurt from Square 1 Electric did some rewiring for our 1907 house. He secured the current wiring, grounded the wiring away from the galvanized water pipes to outside. He replaced the meter box and upgraded everything to accommodate future kitchen and bathroom remodeling.
