Member Comments:
Perfect experience from beginning to the end. Stapleford Electric was recommended to me by a realtor and then I checked Angie's List as a confirmation. Michael Stapleford responded immediately to my call and an appointment was made for a visit to my home for an estimate. When he came, Michael was thorough in his inspection of the work that I had requested and offered an explanation for the need to make these changes. He assured me that he would be on site to do the work along with his capable and well trained employees. I did not feel a need for a second estimate since I felt confident with two excellent reports and I appreciated his time explaining the work that would be done. A start date was set soon after the estimate was given. The electricians were scheduled at 8 AM and arrived earlier to unload their equipment. Mr. Stapleford and his men worked diligently until about 2 PM. After completion of the job, clean up was thorough. It was a pleasure doing business with Stapleford Electric and would highly recommend them to anyone needing electrical work done.

Description Of Work:
Mike provided the electrical services needed for the installation of our new in-ground pool and restored service to the shed (line was cut by the excavator for the pool).

Member Comments:
Throughout this process we have had to deal with a number of different types of contractors with numerous calls to find the right person. We have had a number of negative experiences during this process. Mike was immediately responsive to our request for a quote, and we were instantly impressed with his professionalism and knowledge in his field. When putting in a pool, the electrician needs to provide certain services along the way, including arranging for the necessary inspections for each step, and this requires multiple visits and flexibility on his part. His final visit will be tomorrow, and he has arranged for the final electrical inspection for Monday which will complete his work. He has many years of experience and has an excellent work ethic. When he leaves the work site, you hardly know he has been there as he and his crew are very neat and considerate. He takes the time to thoroughly explain what he will be doing, is willing to answer questions along the way, and is very knowledgeable about the state and county codes. We absolutely will call upon him again for any electrical work we need done. The only other comment is that he responds faster to calls on his cell phone because he has it with him all the time. I believe his work email and work phone messages are not received on his cell.
Thanks, Mike, for your professionalism and kindness. It has been a pleasure working with you!

Description Of Work:
Changed about 25 outlets into childproof outlets and a few into GFCI outlets, and inspected electrical panel.

Member Comments:
We were selling our house and came to find out that basement electrical panel had never received its final inspection when it was finished. As a result, we had to bring everything up to current codes, which included child-proof outlets. There were at least 25 outlets. They changed all of them out, and arranged to have a final electrical box inspection. There were a couple of other minor issues they noticed and took care of while doing the work. Also, 2 outlets had to be changed into GFCI outlets. Mike and his crew were very friendly and professional. They initially did an estimate, and then came back pretty soon after we requested the work. I was very happy with them and felt I could trust them, and I felt the price was extremely reasonable for what they were doing. I will definitely use them again.

Description Of Work:
We had outdoor plugs that were not working. The gentleman came, looked at them and diagnosed the problem and within an hour they were up and running.

Member Comments:
The gentleman came when he said he would and was on time. He quickly discovered why our outdoor electrical sockets were not working. He replaced them after explaining in detail what was wrong and wired them up correctly. He was very polite and he is very knowledgeable. He did not waste any time and completed the job in a timely manner. The cost for the job was very reasonable. We will definite;y use his services again and I would highly recommend him.

Home Build Year:

Description Of Work:
Complete re-wiring for kitchen remodel of 1959 home.
+ Helped develop kitchen lighting and electrical plan
+ Installed large number of new circuits for outlets, appliances, and ceiling lights
+ Adjusted lighting plan basis specific situation found in our kitchen walls when they were exposed, and as final adjustments in the plan were identified.
+ Brought wiring up previous wiring up to current code
+ Provided significant coaching on general kitchen lighting and electrical set-up and costs

Member Comments:
Mike is an excellent, highly-professional electrician. In combination with his competitive rates, he is clearly the electrician to work with in the Wilmington area. Whenever we have small electrical issues over the years, he'll also be the person we'll call.
I've worked with Mike on previous projects, and was comfortable with him. Because the current project was so significant for us, I got other quotes, and Mike's were strongly competitive.
Mike and his team ensured every step went smoothly, with flexibility, professionalism, and appropriate responsiveness throughout the process. Mike's extensive experience as an electrician paid off over and over. He helped refine a general lighting and outlet plan basis the unique characteristics of our kitchen-- where beams got in the way of original considerations, he had clearly though out recommendations to counter.
The wiring was set up rapidly, when the overall project needed, and with immediate approval by the inspector. I was always perfectly comfortable that any problems with project progress would come from things OTHER than electrical work.
When a wire was accidentally cut by the carpenter, shutting of the house lights, Mike's crew immediately checked to see if this was an emergency, discussed what realistically worked for us to get the problem righted, and had it fixed with little fuss, basis a timeline that fit our needs.
When we decided at the last minute to change some of the lights, and add a fixture, his team was right there with us, helping us figure out how to implement the change at low cost, and while keeping the overall project on time.
When I had an unusual request for Mike to help me better understand a portion of the lighting and electrical aspects of kitchens, he immediately responded positively. He sat down and coached me through the aspects I needed to understand, and later set up time to discuss more deeply over dinner.
The last few steps of this project are still coming, but I'm already looking forward to working with Mike on our next project, as well.
