He had to snake it all as the walls and ceilings are all finished and didn't have easy access from basement or attic. Frank did a great job. He is friendly and hard working. Very professional. His rate is typical but he works very fast. Frank said that although he has plenty of business he is trying to get more work in Wellesley where he lives and nearby towns to reduce his travel. He said he gives priority to jobs near Wellesley so if you live near Wellesley make sure to mention that fact.

Then I called Frank. He answered the phone. Texted me when he was coming over. Showed up on time. Then he diagnosed and fixed the issue in about half an hour. Unbelievable. Then he talked me through a couple other questions I had and provided honest advice about different options and talked me through each one. He scheduled the work quickly, did great work at a reasonable price. The whole experience was outstanding. I have finally found an electrician I can count on. Call Frank.

Somehow 501 was able to get the necessary parts and repair or rebuild all of them. In addition to simply getting the job done, Peter is an expert in handling his clients. He kept me informed a few times a week as to the status of the parts he had to order and updated his timetable. Final bill was as estimated. Per his website he does a wide variety of home repairs. My new place has needs which I will be calling on him and his team to do for me.

TL;DR: John is freakin' AWESOME! We hired John a couple of…read moreyears ago to do a few odd jobs around our new, very old home. We assumed it would take several days for him to complete the work, but he finished everything in one day and at maybe 1/4 the cost we'd expected. One of the original visit jobs was installing a railing on the basement stairwell, and when one of the screws loosened up a few months later, John came back the same day, worked on it for nearly an hour, and did not charge us a penny. YES, no charge at all! Who does that anymore, especially in Boston?!? Fast forward to today, years after we last called John. I asked if he could swing by for a few odd jobs during the next week or two. I described everything via text and included a pic of the house to jog his memory. Just a few hours later as I'm wrapping up work, John sends over pics of everything--FIXED! The invoice, parts included, is 1/3 the cost anyone else would charge. Just three reviews? This guy is Yelp's best kept secret right now. Despite his funny Scottish accent, I really can't say enough good things about John--he is best described as a handyman superhero. He's a reliable, trustworthy guy who works super fast, does great work, and actually has a great sense of humor to go along with his great Scottish accent. Hire him with the peace of mind that he'll do the job efficiently and at a very fair price.

He answered me the same day with a text number, set up a convenient time to come and take a look and came back to do the work, all in less than a week. He did an outstanding job and was very patient with me when I asked him to move a couple of pieces a few inches higher. He worked really quickly, and while he was at our house also installed a light fixture for us. I found his rate quite reasonable. Looking forward to working with John again in the future.

I contacted Giroux Electric to investigate reported issues with bathroom exhaust fans and light…read morefixtures. Scheduling was easy, and everyone was friendly initially. The diagnostic visit cost $160, and I was told one of the bathroom fans needed to be replaced. I agreed to the replacement, which cost about $850. I assumed that for nearly $1,000 the installation would be complete and leave the area finished. Unfortunately, I was notified that the new fan was not vented outside, and because the replacement fan was a different size and shape than the original, it left a significant opening in the ceiling that required additional patching and repair work on my end. I understand that replacement fans don't always match the size of existing units, but I was surprised that the job was considered complete with such noticeable unfinished work remaining. When I asked the technician about it, the response felt frustrated and dismissive, which further reduced my confidence in the service. The staff was pleasant for the most part, and scheduling was straightforward, but I was not prepared for the extra work and expense required after what I thought would be a complete fan installation. For that reason, I don't think I'll be using Giroux Electric again.
