Wes Carver Electrical Contracting

I used Unilocal to find a electrical contractor to complete a number of jobs around the house as I haven’t been too happy with some of the work done on our home in the past. All Star and Wes Carver were the 2 I called for estimates based on Unilocal reviews. Wes Carver’s technician, Kyle, showed up promptly at 0930 and immediately began to try to find the best cable location to initiate snaking a cable to a room that had no cable outlet. This alone took a half hour as the house is older and the drop ceiling in the basement is a pain in the butt to deal with. I was impressed with Kyle’s determination and decided to just go with Wes Carver for the job. I called All Star at 1015 to cancel my 1200 appointment for the estimate and was greeted with an upset individual who a: asked why I was cancelling, b: said it was very short notice to cancel, and c: was a bit surprised I had scheduled another company for an estimate. This person then hung up on me. So, All Star is now on my NEVER going to use list, which is pretty short.
So Kyle and Jason, who showed up later as the snaking job was definitely a two man job, busted their tails to finish the jobs I had to complete.
In freezing cold, windy conditions on 11 Feb 2016, they replaced 2 older motion detector lights with new models, they replaced 2 front door sconces and capped off an external front door hanging chandelier. Additionally, one of the new motion detector lights I had purchased for replacement was the wrong model. They brought it to my attention, removed it from the exterior wall, continued on the other jobs while I ran to Home Depot to buy the correct model.
Finally, the cable snaking job turned to out to be fairly difficult as they had to run the cable through some joists and other obstacles in my not too spacious attic. Great job by both of those guys in very tough environmental conditions.
I was impressed with the timeliness, effort and focus of both Kyle and Jason throughout the day. Their prices were about mid-​level for the jobs I had them complete, not inexpensive, but not unreasonable by any means. I will certainly use Wes Carver as my primary electrical contractor from this point on and highly recommend them to anyone.

Called Frater’s first after a quick Google search. The person who took my call was pretty dismissive of one of the small jobs I wanted to have done and spoke to me about it like I was a child, basically discouraging me from having it done. Then when I told her about two other issues and said I would like to get an estimate on the work, she said there was no way to do that because they didn’t know what they would find once they started looking around. She took my number and said an electrician would call me to talk about it more and maybe they could give me a «ball park» figure. I then called Wes Carver Electrical and instead of being vague about what we would owe, I was told that they would send someone out who would do all the trouble shooting for a set (reasonable) fee. Then we would get an actual, detailed estimate. I thought this made a lot more sense than just letting someone come start the work with no idea of what the final bill would be, and I understand that I can’t expect a professional to waste an hour or more poking around for free. The person I first spoke to was friendly and did not act like I was an idiot. I received a call back about scheduling an appointment shortly thereafter and we were able to get an appointment very quickly (this was all set up before Frater’s even got back to me). The electrician sent to our house, John, was very friendly and professional. He pointed out why certain things wouldn’t work, or would not be cost-​effective, instead of simply saying yes to everything we asked for just to rack up a huge bill. He explained things clearly and was very thorough. At one point he double checked with me about the cost of one the tasks before starting it just to confirm that I was ok with spending the money on it. I feel that we got our money’s worth and we will definitely use Wes Carver any time we need an electrician in the future.

Very pleased with our electrician, John M. He was able to come out quickly despite our busy schedule. We felt that the work done was superior and reasonably priced. Would definitely use Wes Carver Electric again.

WCE repaired the electrical supply to my shed after it was damaged by a fallen tree branch. They also replaced the knob and tube wiring and a light fixture in the shed to make it modern, and repaired a broken receptacle in my basement. Andrew did great work & accommodated my family needs very well — my 2 year old napped fine while he worked! Everything went smoothly from estimate to completion and our home’s electrical systems are working well now.
