Chrissie Harvey on Mike's Electrical Service

Commercial property in which I lease. They shut my business down for several hours due to unprofessional service. One fell through the ceiling, also damaged a 4ft by 8ft mirror, moved my furniture without putting it back, did not clean up debris from removing ceiling tiles, left nails on the floor and left the place a mess. This was a chaotic nightmare. The landlord chooses these people, I would not ever hire them. The damage done for postponing opening to clean and to replace my mirror is upsetting. I am a small business. I have camera footage of the mirror being damaged and can provide photos of the conditions they left my business in.

Update: Completely rude and unprofessional. Mike stated my mirror already had damage and that it didn't matter it was damaged further. Please do not use these people especially if you are a woman. They are derogatory and rude.

Yet another update: Called me 5 times in a row, breathing heavy then hanging up. I am very concerned now.

Mike Electric was outstanding from start to finish. They were polite, professional, and demonstrated great attention to detail while hanging our chandelier. They made sure everything was perfectly aligned and secure, and even took the time to thoroughly clean up afterward. We couldn’t be more pleased with their work and highly recommend them.

Doug Schneider on Mike's Electrical Service

I called for a single outlet issue that was showing a crossed wire. He charged me almost $200 to come out (not unusual). When he did show up, he started ranting about things totally unrelated to what I called him about to the point where I literally could not get a word in on the conversation. I told him to stop trying to upsell me to bring a 50 year old house up to "code" when it has been like that its whole life. He continued ranting about things completely separate from what I brought him in to assess, and then he tried to upsell me for 5K instead of the $200 fix I was asking. He then insisted on payment before leaving and provided me a written quote the next day that was not what I asked for. When I asked for the limited scope of work that I hired him for, he refused to to it and insisted that I only hire him for the 5K scope of work. I rolled my eyes and will never do business with him again.
Follow up: Less than 24 hours after posting this review, I received a remarkably unprofessional literally threatening me, my home, and the residents. Mike himself then stated that he would attempt to get authorities to inspect my house looking for code violations because I did not hire him for the 5K laughable estimate that he said was necessary to bring the entire house up to current code. So, he literally attempted to shake me down using local government inspectors to scare me into paying his excessive prices. DO NOT LET HIM IN YOUR HOUSE!

Excellent work! Replaced panel box, meter box and added exterior emergency disconnect (required by Norfolk City). Work was started and completed on time as promised. Great quality work and passed inspection. Price was as quoted, no extras added at completion of job. Electrical work is not cheap. You get what you pay for.

I called Mike's to get a repair for a burned out 110V outlet and an estimate for a new 240V outlet. Mike was able to send a truck to my house--the same day--and fixed my problem. His electricians quoted me a great price for the 240V outlet installation, and did it immediately. In less than an hour, my outlet was fixed, a new one was installed, all was cleaned up, and everything done! Great Job!
