Milestone Electric

I'm writing this review now, even though Milestone did the work like about 4 years ago since i just joined yelp reviews and want to give them their due credit.

I honestly had a excellent experience with them when they came to upgrade and install a new circuit breaker box in my home. I had no issues or problems with them, they were great guys, (Bryan, Mike, and a third who i don't remember his name).

The price they charged to do all the work was very reasonable and fair, and i would not hesitate to use them again.

I hope they are still around and in business, as i mentioned, they would be my first call.

My 75 yr parents had Milestone come out to their house due to the AC not working in their home they are moving in to. They sent a service tech out to check it out, and he said that reason why was due to the fact two or three of the AC ducts were disconnected.

A few days prior my mother had a crew come clean the ducts, so it made sense that the other crew did a sloppy job. Milestones tech reattached the vents and told them it was good to go.. and charged them $1000! As if that wasn't bad enough the AC still did not work!

My father had them send someone back out and this time the next guy said that the reason why it wasn't working still was due to the fact that none of the AC compressors had the plunger in the disconnect boxes, and that one of the disconnects was not even attached to the wall!!!

Now, how the previous tech not only missed it and told my 75 yr old parents it was good to go, and had the nerve to charge $1000 ABSOLUTELY BLOWS MY MIND!!! AND ON TOP OF THIS... the next tech told my parents it will be $1000 more to reattached THE SAME DISCONNECT to the wall!!!!! Literally 4 tapcons that may cost $5 or less... I AM A MASTER ELECTRICIAN.. THIS IS ROBBERY!! NO NOT USE THESE CROOKS!!!!

I called before making this post to speak with a manager to try and work this out privately, but was put on hold 13 minutes the first time and 5 minutes the second time... I never got a manager. I told the girl I am posting this on every sight I can. And I will make a video for Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.  THEY DON'T DESERVE OUR BUSINESS, STOP USING THEM!!!!

*2018 Update*

This is a major bummer, but I have to change my review. I don't know if they went out of business, or if their service just dropped considerably, but I needed some more work done, so I called, then called again, emailed, and sent a message through the site and I never got a single response. Not even a, sorry we're too busy to take on more business at this time.

I *really* wanted to hire these guys based on the reviews on this site. However, I scheduled time with an estimate from them almost a month in advance. I took off work and paid for a taxi ride home to wait for them to arrive and they didn't show up. I called and called but no one picked up the phone or responded.

3 days later, they respond and say Oops they forgot to call me. I swallow my pride and ask if they can schedule me again and they said they're not even taking clients at this time. My project was a full rewire that may have totaled at least 10k and it was a colossal waste of my time waiting for these guys.

Emailed them to set up an appointment to have some work done. Responded by asking for my location, I responded with my location and never heard back from them.
Lousy service...I would have understood if he said he was too busy and couldn't do the work and to find someone else, but.......?

Pretty much super awesome. They were very friendly and since we are overly curious, we asked tons of questions to which they excitedly answered. Not a single complaint.

We had to have our circuit breaker box/panel replaced. Wyatt and TJ did a good job and got to our house on time. They were here from about 9:30 to 3:30. The work was estimated to take around 4-6 hours, but this old house had some issues to work around/fix (plus we were probably a little distracting.) Wyatt was also very helpful about giving us some hints about some other projects we are doing on our own. Milestone Electric is also way more affordable than another place we had come do an estimate.

We would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone who needs an electrician. Really glad we found them.

I've known Wyatt for many years. Since high school . He's Honest, Trustable, very dependable , has very reasonable prices , does great work, And gets my praise. I've had issues that were resolved with in an hour of calling him too. He is always my first choice when I need something done or when my friends need something done I refer them to the best electrician I know..

Tried booking an appointment with this guy but he was booked solid until the end of May. However, he did spend time with me on the phone and recommended another electrician.

Still this guy has the best record but the wait was too long before he could come out here.

This is an honest person and you should call here first before looking elsewhere.

You know what I like about these guys? They don't laugh at your little projects. I recently called Milestone to ask about getting a wall mounted TV wired up. The TV works fine, but the power cord and cable stuff hanging down the wall looked like hell.

Bryan showed up, ran a wire up the inside of the wall, installed a new outlet, then crawled up into the overhead of the house to run the TV cable. A nice neat installation.

I called Brian after a friend of mine had recommended him...he had done a great job I was told.
I needed two ceiling fans with lights and a switch...he said no problem...when would you like them installed...I said it'll have to be on a weekend because I'm out of town so frequently for work...he said no problem   We agreed on date and time and to my great satisfaction...Brian and Wyatt were on time and completed the job in three hours !!
Now this would  have been faster if the fans were assembled before they had arrived.
The guys did an excellent job...they were clean...on time...and the price was very reasonable.
I will use them when ever I need work done

I found Milestone via Yelp.

I met Wyatt Dibley & crew this Spring during a medium remodel.  We has a bunch of random electrical needs to address.

I found them to be friendly, bright, creative and effective.  They are young and enthusiastic.  They get turned on by doing the work fast and efficiently.  For instance, I was told by another electrician that a particular task would take two hours.  With that in mind, I asked Wyatt how long it would take.

Probably 20 minutes or so.  10 minutes later the task was completed and they had moved on to the next.

Only tiny gripe is that along with all that youthful enthusiasm they have a bit of youthful forgetfulness.  But in the few instances where something was forgotten, they take care of it at no expense.  I'm sure given several more months they will get straightened out.

That said, we would definitely use them again.

Wyatt and his journeyman, TJ are both professional and personable. Wyatt is extremely patient when i was at the inquiring phase with the zillion questions i have about rewiring the home. On the day of work, they are both efficient and resourceful in achieving what i ask for, with minimal drywall repair work. They also left the worksite cleaner than it was originally after completing the work!

I concur with the Yelp opinions here and find them trustworthy and easy to talk to. Most importantly, they are willing to explain and help. They are definitely my go-to-electrician from now on

Milestone Electric rewired my entire house (used to have knob and tube). Great guys who were timely, professional, and super conscientious about leaving the house clean and tidy each day. In short, they were excellent. I have recommended them to all of my friends.

Very happy with Milestone's prices, promptness and quality of work. We had can lights installed in our living room. Other electricians were charging more (+50% higher prices) AND couldn't get us on the schedule for 3-4 weeks. Wyatt and team came in with the best prices and got us scheduled within 2 weeks.

We're now enjoying lots of light in our living room and the lights look great. I'd use Milestone again and would recommend them highly to friends.

Unfortunately I'm not reviewing the actual work of Milestone, but instead how they run the business.  I scheduled an appointment for an estimate over three weeks in advance.  The day of the appointment nobody showed up, called me, or even answered the phone when I called them.  This was very disappointing, especially since I had taken the afternoon off for this appointment.

Although the previous reviews indicate they do good work, the lack of communication and follow through has sent me elsewhere looking for an electrician.

Left them a message that i needed a bunch of receptacles replaced.  Did not call me back.

These guys are great. I needed an outlet fixed and was hoping to have one installed nearby. Well, little did I know that the people who remodeled my house before I bought it had made it impossible for power to be run to the outlet that wasn't working, or at least not without deconstructing the wall. But the guys from Milestone came and gave it their best shot, were punctual, careful, well-prepared and skilled. But despite their best efforts they couldn't fix it. So, to my surprise, they didn't charge me at all for their time. I was grateful and am now determined that the next time I need ANY kind of electrical work, I'll be calling them! And so should you. I trust these guys.

Excellent, excellent, excellent!!! I read the reviews and gave them a call. I described the work and was given an estimate. Brian and Robert arrived the next day and on time. They worked efficiently and completed the work in less time and below the estimated cost.

I had been told by another company that the work would take 6 hours (honest) and these guys did the work in 1.5 hours. I am not new at remodeling and thought the first bid was way off track. I am so glad for YELP and honest providers.

USE THIS BUSINESS!

I called emailed Milestone Electric with a request to add some lighting to my house.  Wyatt called me back the same day and offered to come look at the project the following business day to provide me a quote!  

He showed up promptly at the scheduled time and was informative and responsive.  He offered to come back the following day to actually do the work but I wanted a day to go shopping to buy the ceiling lights I wanted installed.  Really nice that I was able to schedule my appointment for the work to actually be done just on the following day.

I couldn't decide between the type of lighting I wanted to add and at the last minute changed my mind from what I had originally decided upon.  I called Wyatt and he was completely understanding and happy change his game plan for the following day, which even meant him providing a few things instead of me.  

On the day of the appointment, he and his business partner showed up on time and went straight to work.  They took the time to measure out exactly where things should be and consulted with me as to the placement before drilling any holes.  They finished the job in less time than they had quoted, used tarps to protect everything in each of the rooms, and left the house impeccable!

If I ever need electrical help again, I will be back!  Thank you Milestone Electric!

Great service by these guys!  Friendly, fast and affordable. Had pendants and a chandelier put up in my home. They even ran to Home Depot to get extra parts I needed and took my old lighting fixtures to the dump for me. Would hire Milestone again for sure!

I lost power in my master bedroom and couldn't figure it out. After calling Milestone Electric, Wyatt provided some useful recommendations as to how to check for the possible problem. I end up to call him and set up an appointment. He showed up and him and his brother found the problem in no time. The Price, knowledge and the honesty of  this guys impressed me so much that I decided to give this review. Thanks for the job well done.

Very, very, very good work.  I hired Milestone to do a complete rewire of my newly-purchased-yet-quite-old two-story-with-basement house in Seattle.  The existing wiring was horrid: modern wire connected with aging electrical tape to knob-and-tube, bare circuits everywhere, the basement had more wire junctions than a whole fleet of rail yards, a split-bus breaker panel with labels from the 1960s, virtually every outlet wired backwards, and an average of one outlet per room.  All of this is to give context to what Wyatt and his crew were agreeing to fix, insofar as a pile of dynamite fixes a decrepit bridge.

These guys did an amazing job.  Every circuit in my house was replaced and brought up to code, none of the old wiring is still in use.  They upgraded my panel to a new 200A main breaker panel, added outlets everywhere, wired in new lights in closets and outside, put in new plugs for things like a dryer and a toaster oven, replaced electric baseboards, installed a bathroom fan, and ran Ethernet and television cable to several rooms.  Even the basement has actual lights and several power sockets.  Everything looks neat and well put together.  Some wiring, at my request to save holes and money, is in exterior conduit that looks like it was definitely done by someone who knows what they are doing and who gives a darn about appearances.  If my basement wasn't otherwise in sad shape, I'd post pictures since the wiring down there is just short of a work of art.  The final capstone is that the major works passed inspection the first time.

Wyatt was communicative and easy to deal with while it was going on.  What should have made enough holes to turn my walls into Swiss cheese instead needed only 9 cuts for everything to be done.  Yes, it did take longer than the original time estimate.  Five days turned into nine and a half but I believe this was due to the monumental task these folks ran into.  All of this was done for a very good price, especially relative to the big, experienced contractors who came out for estimates, and didn't go up as the job took longer.

I'd say that I'll be calling Milestone Electric for my future needs but their work was so good, I imagine that nothing will break where I need their help.

(Technical details for those who want to know: Standard Seattle City Light 200A split-phase residential service with existing modern electrical meter box and 2.5 conduit to underground utilities.  Panel replaced with 200A single-throw main Square-D Homelite 30-position panel, 7 slots remain open after rewire.  9 20A circuits to all power sockets.  3 20A 220V circuits for baseboard heat.  1 bridged-breaker 15A-times-two circuits for disposal and dishwasher in same outlet box.  6 15A circuits for lighting.  1 30A 220V circuit for dryer.  No additional high-load circuits for an air conditioner, hot tub, or large bathroom items like a jetted spa were needed.)

Wonderful Guys!  First- time home buyer of an old house and doing some minor reno one a part of the house. Wyatt and Brian came out and gave a very honest and fair estimate of all the little electrical projects, showed up on time to do the work and his small team got everything they said they would do in the time frame that they said they would. One of the little projects turned up some very odd wire installation, they couldn't fix it that day but returned another day after they went and got the part needed from Home Depot. It turned out to be a small issue but it could have been a big one had these guys not been the ones to find it. Very grateful to have found them! Highly recommend!

Wyatt was very quick, knowledgeable, and willing to take some time to educate me as a home-owner.  The price was right, and it only took a half hour, so he checked to make sure I didn't have anything else that needed to be done, since it's a one hour minimum.  I called him on a Saturday, and he was available so was there within the hour.  Great service!

Wyatt came over just on time did a really good job. I needed some 240V thermostats installed and wanted to get a quote for a pendant lamp installation. While installing the thermostats, he came up with a solution for the pendant lamp that didn't even require him to come back again. So he was after doing great business rather than the money. Very pleased, highly recommended.

Great company! I've had these guys do two projects for me. The first time I chose them just because I thought the Yelp deal. They installed my chandelier and it looks great and functions perfectly. I bought a ceiling fan and I chose them to come back because they did such a good job first time. They even came back to help me install the remote kit I bought later--for free--just to help me out. They are clean, polite, and do great work. I highly recommend milestone.

Bryan and Wyatt were recommended to me by a friend.  Their estimate was not only fair but accurate.  As a first time homeowner I was very nervous and unsure about all the work that needed to be done to upgrade my home from knob and tube to modern electrical.  Bryan was very patient and explained exactly what needed to be done in each room.  Both Bryan and Wyatt worked evenings and weekends so that my husband and I could move in on time.  We are planning on doing a lot more work on the house.  Bryan and Wyatt will be the only electricians I trust to do the job right.

Greats guys! Wyatt came over and helped me trouble shoot a circuit that I had screwed up trying to change out a switch.  No judging.  No talking down to me.  He is a totally down-to-earth guy who is great at what he does.  We worked our way through the circuit and by the end of his work I have my lights back on! Much less expensive then I thought it would be and the bill was dead on his estimate!  I appreciated his honesty and professionalism - I'll use these guys again for certain.

Great small company! I called, they came out in a couple of hours, fixed the outlet problem in a matter of minutes. Both of the guys are professional, friendly and know what they are doing. Definitely will use them again!!! Love supporting small businesses
