Response from Doug the Electrician

"I did NOT perform any service for this man. If I did, why would he post this review the next day saying he chose another electrician. This review was posted several months after I posted on my profile that I was not taking any more customers. [Member Name Removed] did not read my profile."

Fixed the problem and helped explain the process so I could do it myself the next time.  Came the same day I called, was very prompt and very nice.

He was very prompt, and showed up exactly on time. He was very professional and answered all my questions. I felt the price he charged was very reasonable and I will definitely use his services again. I highly recommend his service

Doug did a great job!  He had to order one of the switches...when it arrived he was prompt and professional in installing it.  These were small jobs,  but if I had a larger job I would most definitely ask Doug to do it.

He came in and made some suggestions for the installation I hadn't considered. Overall, his ideas were much better. The work went great. He is very timely, thorough and did a very professional job. I would strongly recommend his services.

Doug responded to my call promptly and came out to diagnose the problem the same day I called. He ordered the necessary parts and made the repairs on the agreed upon schedule. The price was very reasonable and I was very satisfied with the service.

I called and left a message with Doug, and he called me back the same day. He came the next morning exactly when we'd arranged, and was knowledgable and friendly. I've basically decided that he's the only electrician I will ever call.

Doug arrived on time and got right to work and found and corrected the problem in minimal time. He is most delightful to chat with and obviously very competent. The price was more than fair. We would call him again with no hesitation at all, should the need arise.

Doug came the same day I called. I showed him the work I needed which was ri install a new surge protecting outlet behind our flatscreen TV versus fishing the cord through the wall. We agreed on the price and he returned on time on the date. He was quick and efficient and friendly as well. I will definitely use him for more extensive jobs but I really appreciate that he came for the small job. His quality and flexibility would definitely cause me use and recommend him.

Doug was great, friendly, and really hip. He didn't make me feel like an idiot and was very conversational which I like. He even helped me get my washer back in place which was no easy feat - and he did it with a smile. He is a guy I would use again and again for any electrical needs.
He came in, inspected the problem, took the panel cover off and rewired what needed rewiring. Everything works, was cleaned up, and we are off to the races!

He fixed a light fixture. He is excellent. He returned my call right away. He came out right away. He followed through. His price was extremely reasonable and he did a very good quality work. He is very knowledgeable. I had two other electricians come out and look at the same thing and they couldn't figure it out and one wanted more money.

Doug is a VT-grad engineer who decided to venture out on his own as an electrician when his longtime employer laid off everyone in the bad economy of a few years ago. He's smart, careful, and honest. I have used him for every electrical (and some non-electrical) jobs I've needed to have done around my house. I trust his advice and his work implicitly.
