I had James M Butler Electric come to my home to give me an up to date Electrical evaluation on the current condition of my electrical system, it took Mr Butler about three hours, starting from the basement and working his way up to the attic room by room until he was complete. At the end of the job he generated an itemized list of what needed to be addressed so there would be no chance of a fire. The cost of the job was 225.00$ which I thought was very reasonable seeing all the work he did. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an electrician.

James is a talented young man. He is one of the few who will come out for a free estimate. He rewired my old house and got the job done in a reasonable amount of time. He provided me with a proposal for the work, and the cost, before I hired him. He is a hard worker, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to get electrical work done.

I called Jim to have a small job -- an electrical panel upgrade -- done in my apartment. He quoted me $800 ahead of time which he and I both agreed would be the price. The work took him one day. It was a small panel with eight breakers. At the end of the job, when the work was done, he said it would be $900 and he complained and tried to make up an excuse that the circuit breakers cost him an extra $100. He also mentioned that he knew I went to an Ivy League school (creepy) and that I should pay. Be careful. If this guy sees a way to screw you out of more money (even a little), he'll do it. The breakers he was talking about cost no more than $25 and were included in the original $800 quote. The actual workmanship was fair. He left a big gap around my panel and now I have to find a finish carpenter to put in molding. A more careful cut or use of a flush mounted panel wouldn't have required this.
