It went very well. Phil and Pat did an excellent job for me, and were very informative and helpful. Terry came later and discussed some other projects I wanted done. I will be using them again for future jobs.
Description of Work: I had numerous jobs that needed done. The biggest job was an attic fan replacement. I also had a front light replaced, plugs replaced, unused old wiring removed, a ceiling light hook up removed, and a TV satellite dish removed from my roof.

Very professional and punctual guys folks but these guys will try to make all possible extra money during the job. For every task, they will try to find subtasks and they will call their manager and you will have two choices either leave the task in the middle or pay extra whatever money which they are asking.

Response from Stewart Electric
The customer was quoted a price to install 8 recessed lights, 2 rows of 4 with 1 switch. Customer was going to supply all wafer lights and switch. Immediately he asked me for a lower price. I stated to him that my price was firm. I left it up to him at that point and left. Customer called and agreed to the price. The next day the customer called and wanted a new price. He and his wife wanted to have 2 rows of 3 recessed lights installed instead. I quoted the new request. Customer didn't like the price, but after I explained he understood. We scheduled the work. Upon arrival my employees designed the layout on the ceiling. The customer changed his mind and wanted it differently. The electricians reconfigured the design and the customer showed up with a drawing that change everything. He wanted 2 rows of 3 wafer lights an 1 light on each end in the middle. I quoted this change and he didn't like the price. So we went back to the original design. As the men were working the customer decided he wanted a 2nd switch installed so that 4 light were on 1 switch and the other 4 light were on a 2nd switch I quoted him a price and he agreed to the extra charge. Because of the framing the switch location was difficult. We installed the switches. The customer then ask if we could do something different with the switches. The switches, by this time were wired in and switches were installed. The change requested would require us to take everything apart and start all over. I gave the customer a price to redo everything and he didn't agree to pay for the changes he wanted. The light were installed, 2 rows of 4 wafer lights with 2 switches, which is what the customer originally wanted. The only additional charge was for the wiring for the second switch. The lights look good and were installed professionally.

Excellent response to initial request. Promptly performed the repair work with outstanding skill and attention to detail. Price was reasonable and a little less than I expected.

Stewart Electric did a fabulous job and I feel safe now in my home. I'm going to be changing some outdoor lighting configurations and will definitely be giving them a call to schedule the work. You will not be disappointed!
Description of Work: I hired Stewart Electric upon recommendation from my realtor. During selling process Terry was very responsive in coming out to do an estimate for a new service box and upgrade of electrical outlets and installation of gfi's. His estimate was reasonable and help me to negotiate during the buying process. Once I closed on my home I reached out to schedule the work and again had a very pleasant experience with Stewart Electric. Terry explained all that needed to be done, walk through the entire process, and his son Philip and his team arrived on time and performed all of the work over one and a half days. They kept me abreast of a few changes that needed to be made and even suggested not replacing a roof fan that was old but working which saved money.

I really appreciate the help and instruction Terry provided. I was able to go to a big box store and get the part I needed for $12 and within a half hour replace it. This solved my issue and the doorbell camera began working properly.
Description of Work: I had an issue installing my new Doorbell camera and wasn't getting enough power at the device. I contacted Stewart Electric and Terry actually walked me through what I needed and told me that it was an easy fix and that I should try to do it myself if I was comfortable with it. He said they could do it but he or anyone else would charge $150/$200 to come out and do it.

First, I had called to get an estimate for the job. Terry worked me into his schedule quickly and was out when promised, to look at the job and give a quote. Because of the height of the fixture being replaced, he had to allow for the necessary ladders and crew to do the job correctly and safely, and it was explained to me that this was the main factor of the cost for the job. I called back within a few days to schedule the work, and once again, Terry fitted me into his schedule within a very good time frame. When the day arrived, he was running slightly behind, but did call me to let me know and then arrived soon after. The team arrived with all of the necessary tools and ladders, and made efficient work of the job. I stayed in adjacent rooms, to keep out of the way, and they called me in when needed to answer questions and ask if I liked placement, etc. I had not asked for a dimmer switch during the initial meeting, but asked if it was possible on the day of the job. Terry said it was no problem and had the switch in his truck, so it was installed right away. The guys were really friendly and even cleaned up before they left. I will definitely call Terry for any future electrical work, both inside and out.
Description of Work: Replace light fixture in a 2-story foyer and place on a dimmer switch.

Like usual Terry and his crew came out and did an excellent job. It was not easy running a line from the electrical box through an finished basement but they found the least intrusive way that worked and looked the best. Terry always does a very professional job and an extremely fair price without cutting corners. I feel that Terry makes sure the work is done in a way that he would do in his own house. Highly recommend him. He is doing another (3rd one) job for me later in the summer.

It was a very simple job but I found them to be very professional and they found the problem very quickly. They were here within a couple of hours of my call and returned my first call within minutes. They only charged me for the house call with no added charged and gave me the Angies list discount! It was a good call and I plan on using them again in the near furture to do some upgrading.
