Invoice was 2 times what was quoted for a very simple job.

We needed two entry lights replaced and only needed help because we didn't have a ladder tall enough to reach the 18 foot ceiling. We were quoted $140 for time and $35 for ladder rental.
A journeyman (did the work) and apprentice (watched) were at our house for 45 minutes, so imagine our surprise when we were billed $335 - or 2.5 hours of time plus $47.50 ladder rental. Evidently, without telling us, we were billed for them to go from shop to Home Depot to our house to Home Depot to their shop (A trip that Google Maps says takes 48 minutes in total) and spend another hour doing who knows what.

My husband spent 15 minutes on the phone explaining to Trevor exactly what was needed, the size and weight of the fixtures we had, and the space they were being put into, so that we could get a valid quote before they came to our house.

The workers were nice and polite and did what was asked of them - that's why I'm giving them two stars.

Update:Found out that the Erie based company that I hired because they are 5 minutes from my house rolled a crew from Boulder and that the customer evidently gets charged from wherever the crew happens to be. I guess to make more money, they should start dispatching from Cheyenne. At this point, I would give them 0 stars, but will leave it at two because I want my review to be taken seriously.

Finally: Beware the 5 star review from Sierra Lewis - she works for the company.

Trevor, Nathan and the gang did an amazing job on a very complex commercial kitchen.  They were one of my favorite contractors on this job and I'll for sure be using them again.

Just found out they drove to Boulder (at 8am because that is a smart traffic decision?) to rent a ladder instead of 10 minutes away and then marked up the ladder 33% after billing $115 per hour for two guys to drive a truck. $300 for 45 minutes on site after quoting the job as $175. I wish I could bill like that...but I have morals. The two guys that came twisted 6 wire nuts with great precision and expertise, so I have no idea if they can do your project or not. I would simply say "do not let them do anything unless you have a written quote".

I received bids from 4 local electricians before I chose South Paw.  They were the most reasonably priced, they were willing to work with my designs without saying that they had to bring it back to their designer to rework, they completed the work in a timely manner, their crew was friendly, they were tidy workers, and they did a great job.  I have referred them to friends and clients of mine and will continue to do so in the future.

South Paw Electric runs a great company!  I have had them to our house several times and always been very happy with both my electrician and the job done.  They were patient with me and my "ideas" and ultimately did exactly what I asked for.  Best of all, they didn't leave a mess behind them as other companies have done in the past.  Trevor, the owner was very professional to deal with.  I highly recommend South Paw Electric!
