I bumped into Paul Briggs in Lowe's parking lot on a Sunday afternoon and asked him to provide a proposal for something I didn't have time to do myself. I didn't know Paul, but thought I'd ask based on the professional appearance of Paul and his neatly arranged work truck (usually a good sign). Paul provided a written proposal for the work based on a detailed written description and several color photos of hte work site I provided. Paul's written proposal included the scope of work shown below. Paul showed up at the agreed time with two workers and he supervised much of the work and occasionally conducted other business on his cell phone and from his truck. The project went very well since they brought all the necessary tools and materials to complete the project, which took two men several hours. I was there for most of their work while I worked on other things in the house, which I was preparing for sale. I had to leave for an hour or so to buy materials and was not concerned about leaving them alone. When finished, they cleaned up and hauled away all the debris, leaving the work area as clean as they found it. I paid Paul when they finished. I usually do remolding projects, including electrical work myself because I find that I do better work than most contractors I've seen, and I've always felt their costs are too high. However, I am happy to say that I couldn't find anything that I would have done differently or better, I feel like I got my money's worth, and I wouldn't hesitate using Briggs Electric in the future. I have already recommended them to several friends. 150-amp service upgrade: - Notify Duquesne Light of service upgrades and obtain work request number. - Disconnect the service drop connections at the house. - Remove and dispose of all old service equipment, wire, fittings, and fasteners. - Install all new 150-amp rated service entrance cable, meter socket, main breaker panel, fittings, and fasteners. All to be located in the similar vicinity as the old. - Install new breakers for all existing circuits. - Install (2) new exterior ground rods and bonding jumper. - Install new water meter grounding and bonding. - Reconnect the service drop connections at the house. - Test all breakers. - Label as many circuits that can feasibly be traced. - File and pay for 3rd party 150-amp service electrical inspection. - 3rd party electrical inspection
Description of Work: Upgraded electrical panel to 150-amp service, replace feed line, and replace some wiring in the basement.

The service worked out very well. They were very confident, efficient and they took care of the problem. The price was very fair.
Description of Work: We did use Briggs Electric. They're supposed to replaced the energizer for the bulbs to come out but he didn't do that because the bulbs would not come on, he had to replace the parts for the two bulbs.

Paul was referred to us by the owner of Pool and Spa Outlet. This turned out to be a great referral. Paul came to the house within a few days of our call. He took his time in reviewing the drawings and talking to us to get a clear understanding of the scope. We received his proposal approximately 5 days later. His price was close to our other bidder but he had a detailed proposal and I was very comfortable that everything was included in his price. Paul's professionalism is top notch. He showed up exactly at the time he said he would to begin the work along with his 2 helpers. You could tell he was prepared and had the rough in work done that first day. Because we were acting as the general contractor, there was a lot of coordination with the other contractors. Paul was very flexible and accomodating. As per our plan, he showed up the day the cabinets were delivered so he could coordinate with our designer and cabinet installers. His work is top quality, he and his helpers are professional and go about their business and are very easy to deal with. I highly recommend Paul and will use him for all of my future electrical work.
Description of Work: Rewired our kitchen remodel, added a subpanel, all lighting including undercabinet and toekick lighting.

Good.
Description of Work: I called Briggs to possibly get an estimate. A man answered the phone promptly and was available to come that day after he completed his last job. I ended up not needing him but I appreciate business owners who answer their own phone.

The work was so good that I've contacted him to do some more work. It was really good. It was a great price for what he did and the quality of the work. We had 2 or 3 people come out to take a look at it. One was a lot less expensive but I didn't like the way they wanted to run the power lines. Their price was excellent and their timeliness was really good. They didn't take a lot of time. For the amount of work they did, they were excellent. He was really good at what he did. I am going to use them again.
Description of Work: I used Briggs Electric redo the electrical service box for service to the house and they ran the power lines to the hot tub when we put a hot tub on the patio. He also powered up the hot tub.

Paul located a short in a basement electrical circuit. He was very responsive and resolved the problem quickly. Although the problem was note very complicated, he handled it in a very professional and polite manner. I will definitely call him again if I have another electrical problem.

Paul responded immediately, was on site within an hour and performed a thorough inspection of my electrical system. Repaired some minor issues, answered all of my questions and gave my system a clean bill of health.
Description of Work: After a major power surge in my area, I called Paul the following morning due to concerns about the damage caused. He had run electricity to my back yard two weeks prior.

I could not have been happier with the response time as well as the service. They returned my message quickly, stated when they would be here, arrived on time, were well spoken, communicated well, corrected the problem and cleaned up afterwards. I decided to use Briggs for this situation at our commercial building because I had used them for a project in my home and was more than satisfied with the service. It is extremely stressful when a large portion of your professional office is unable to operate, and thankfully we used the right company for the job.
Description of Work: Late yesterday our office unexpectedly lost power to approximately half of our entire commercial building. I left a message with them yesterday shortly after it happened and they were here first thing this morning. Briggs crew explained the most likely causes of the problem and went to work. They seemed pretty methodical, found the issue, and fixed it quickly after discovering it- a set of wires between the electrical box in the basement and our second floor of the office building blew apart/shorted the electric.

The owner, Paul Briggs, arrived when stated to give a written estimate. He was thorough, asked questions, and even discussed how the different lights would emit different angles of light. After receiving his estimate, and 1 other estimate, it was obvious that he was more affordable, more thorough, knowledgeable and more professional. He showed up for the installation/work as scheduled. When he was finished, he walked me through the work that he had done and asked if I had any questions. Briggs Electric was the first electrician I have ever experienced who cleaned up after themselves and put everything back to exactly how it was before they arrived.
Description of Work: I had 4 overhead lights installed in my basement and garage, and an outdoor outlet replaced.

Briggs did a fantastic job. They were extremely prompt and professional. There were three guys here and I would say they each worked ten hour days, they did a great job. Their price was average but very fair for the service that I got.
Description of Work: Briggs did some electrical work. They installed all the wiring for a hot tub and put in a new service box as well.
