Description of Work: What was asked

Description of Work: upgraded to electrical panel and some troubleshooting to wiring in one room. He did very nice work, even putting in a little extra effort to clean up the panel box, fix up some old shoddy work from the previous homeowner, etc. |Inspector from the township commented they love checking his work because he does a good job.

Description of Work: Brady and Sons diagnosed a flickering light problem, ran a new cable line and rewired our entire basement. They also cleaned up wires that were hanging down in the basement and junction boxes that weren't attached properly. Steve is a complete professional. He deserves the A+ rating.

Description of Work: We needed a few things done. Replacement of a light rheostat switch, not just the turny knob $25, a line run to the basement for an existing bathroom fan and a venting to the outside of that fan, and an additional CFI outlet in the kitchen. I would have used my previous regular electrician, but although his work is good, he tends to destroy walls around the work that he performs. I just engaged a friend of my son's who just finished a 3 yr painting program to scrape, patch and repaint those damaged areas. He did a great job for his first time working on his own. :). But back to Brady & Sons. |I picked Brady, because he didn't just have nice reviews, (i.e. Showed up on time, cleaned up his mess, reasonable, etc.), I picked him because of the extraordinary comments written about him. His advising people of the lessor cost options, the diagnosing of what is actually wrong with an electrical problem, and his not trying to add items that are not needed just to raise the bill. |So let's begin. He is exactly what people wrote about him! You can stop reading here and hire him and save time reading the rest of this. If you want more details then "carry on". |The rheostat switch in the master bath. He asked why I need a rheostat, because a regular switch is cheaper. Good question. We had originally put it in because, I was pregnant, and I didn't want to wake my husband when I needed to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I could dim the light so it wouldn't wake him. He saved us money there. |The kitchen CFI, created an additional problem. The electrical box sits in the basement right below, but their is original tile, from 1942, on the backsplash, where we wanted the additional CFI. You see, I make more tea at home now and there is only one outlet shared with the light switch and so every time I make tea, I have to unplug the toaster. Do I remember to replug in the toaster when I am done, Noooaa! :(. Are we going to get divorced over the plug issue, when my husband assumed that the toast he was making should be done, only to find out it wasn't plugged in????? Oops. :(. In addition, we have a microwave that we had drilled a hole in the floor and run an extension cord to from the basement electrical box. Ok, so the tile was a problem, because he would have to drill through the tile and did not feel he could guarantee that there would be no damage to te tile or that other tiles would not fall off or crack from the vibration, given their age. He called his friend a tile guy to get his thoughts and said that he would have to engage his services, more cost, if the tile guy felt it was doable. Or, after looking around he saw that the wall next to the counter and near the microwave was untiled and convenient to plug in all the appliances with a 4 CFI outlet. Yes, more money for the outlet, but solved all our issues, because the microwave would still be too far from the plug had we gone through the backsplash and an extension cord on the counter is not a great idea. Plus with a four outlet CFI, we now had an extra outlet, which helped my painter when he needed an outlet to sand a wall down. He did offer the option. Of some kind of electrical strip under the cabinet, but considering the age of the cabinets, also 1942, I felt that if we sold the house, the new owners might want to replace the cabinets and also he did not recommend this option due to the high cost. God, I love this guy! So that project went well and no wall damage, like my former electrician :) |Now for the hall bath, ceiling fan. When we first did the bathroom, the construction guy, I found out much later had never vented it to the outside. When we did an extension to our son's room, I thought we had used that vent electrical line to install a required outlet in my son's room. Eight yrs later and I noticed that the new drywall in that bathroom was now peeling off in places and the clear finish was gone from the cabinets and the mirror was showing damage to the mirror itself and the surrounding wood frame. |My previous electrician said we would need to run a new line two floors down to the basement to hook up the fan again and of course vent outside. I think he quoted $200, (he's pretty reasonable, but remember he damages areas he works in). So, Brady does the venting,(which by the way, he smartly put an activated vent that opens inside and out when the switch is turned on, which prevents loss of heat from your home). Before he runs a new line, he tests the fan and stops dead. He reports that the line is still run to the basement. The problem is that the fan motor is burnt out. He goes to his shop gets a replacement motor and installs it. The cost to do that part of the work is five dollars more that running the line, so he just ate the difference off the quote. |My only other comments about him are that in just talking to him, it is clear that he is not going to be dishonorable, is watching your back. He is a rare breed today! He stayed in touch via email, promptly answering questions. He arrived on time, was professional. When he did the work, he was more relaxed but his skills were just as professional. And he cleaned up after himself. A definite winner and now my new electrician.

Description of Work: Installed two pull chain light fixtures.

Description of Work: Put in new outlets and answered a lot of my husbands questions. He put a lot of my worries to rest. He checked things I was wondering about. He was very professional. I was very pleased and I will make this man my electrician in the future.

Description of Work: Were not able to repair light fixture on the garage wall.

Description of Work: The guys were great, they replaced six of our outlets. They were prompt and fast. We will definitely use them again.

Description of Work: I had purchased a "deal" from Angie's list for Steve Brady's services but found that the deal did not cover my list of needed repairs. Steve agreed to apply the deal to my repair: replace two burned out electrical outlets and install two new outlets--one a GFI outlet in a downstairs bathroom and a second in a closet. Unfortunately, both new installations required new wiring through the basement and garage which added to the cost. | |I found Steve to be extremely professional--and neat. He laid a dropcloth inside my front door and changed shoes every time he went outside so nothing was tracked in the house. Both the repairs and the installation went extremely smoothly and everything was cleaned up before he left. I am very satisfied and will not hesitate to use him again for future electrical work.
