The worker was extremely slow and the final cost was $538. Needless to say, I called and complained; the supervisor I talked to was sympathetic and we agreed on a $175 reduction, but I would not use this company again.

The repair was completed correctly, although there was considerable delay in part due to ordering of parts required, as well as due to inclement weather during the holiday season. We were not concerned about that, as there was prompt response to our calls. Unfortunately when we were billed I found out that we were paying for the electrician to drive both directions from Salem to Portland for 3 trips to our home which ultimately took place to resolve the issue. 15 hours of labor were charged to complete this work in addition to parts which left the initial bill at just under $3000. It also took more than 1 month (closer to 2) to obtain a detailed itemized receipt so I could understand what was billed leaving me feel the cost was not transparent. The quality of work was great, but please be cautious about overtime and labor charges if the cost of your project is a concern.

Great.  They called first to send out an electrician a day early than scheduled (the same day I called).  Rick showed up on time and quickly remedied the problem.  Fast efficient service!  Much appreciated!

I have used an electrical company called Cherry City Electric recently. They were easy to make an appointment. They kept their appointments. They seemed to be efficient in carrying out the job that they needed to do. The person who did the work was prompt, pleasant and easy to engage in conversation with. On the surface, it is all fine as along as the wiring does the job, over a long run, it is great. I don't remember that they were either exceptionally low priced or exceptionally high priced. I can't really judge the quality but the county did come out and did inspect and said it was fine.

Excellent customer service on front end - was able to schedule work just four days ahead. Office staff was friendly and prompt returning calls. Electrician called to say he was running ahead of schedule (when does that happen???) and arrived about an hour early. Work performed quickly and below estimated cost - and was done before the originally scheduled time.

They were very prompt, courteous and did a good job. They came back when something didn't work right and fixed it without a charge.

They were absolutely wonderful. I would trust them in my home. I left for the day and didn't even have one moment of hesitation. They were bright and very professional. They did a fabulous job. They were also prompt. They were the best people we have had in our home.

The electrician was prompt, neat, courteous and efficient. My complaint is in the charges on the bill which was sent to me a week later. When I made the appointment, I was told that the minimum charge was $85.50 per hour, including travel time. The electrician had just worked on my neighbor's house, so there was no travel time, and he probably spent no more than 30 minutes checking and correcting my wiring. Consequently, I expected the bill to be just the minimum $85.50. However, when I received it, a $30.00 and quot;permit feeand quot; had been added, along with a $9.00 and quot;partsand quot; charge.

I called Cherry City and told them I had checked with the City of Salem and was told no permit had been obtained for my house. Their response was that it was a new thing with the State that was required on all jobs. (This should have been added to and disclosed in the and quot;minimumand quot; quote I was given.) I then asked about the charge for parts, since he had not replaced the outlet, and I was told it was probably for and quot;nutsand quot; or something. I have asked for a detailed list of the $9.00 worth of parts used and the name of the State agency that requires the $30.00 permit. I'm still waiting for those.

My neighbors had a similar experience with them the same day. Consequently, because of Cherry City's outrageous billing method, they have lost any future business from either of us .
