Makale is very conscientious. He called to let us know he was on his way. He was thorough in installing two ceiling fans for us, and even checked, without charge, a troublesome light fixture to determine if it just needed a new bulb or had an electrical issue -- it just needed bulbs. He had a flat rate for the ceiling fans that I thought was very reasonable. He was well prepared and had all necessary equipment. He got right to the tasks and completed them neatly, not leaving a mess. While we didn't chat while he was working, afterwards my husband and I found him to be polite and personable young man who we'd be happy to bring in on another project.

Easton the technician was friendly and knowledgeable. He got my ceiling fan put together and installed in no time at all. He was also able to fix the light in my garage. Overall I'm very satisfied with the outcome and would recommend Makale and his team for any electrical work you need done. Service with a smile 👍🏽

I had the pleasure of working with Makale from Blue Tiger Electric, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He was exceptionally professional, personable, and reasonable throughout the entire process. What truly stood out was how he treated my parents—with the same care and respect as if they were his own family. His attention to detail and dedication to doing the job right were impressive. Without a doubt, I will be reaching out to him for any future projects. Thank you, Makale, for your outstanding work!

Makale responded to our request very quickly and offered to come the same day. He was able to quickly diagnose the issue with our ceiling fan which sat with the switch. He made quick repairs and pricing was very fair. He was very professional and we would definitely hire him again.

I hired Blue Tiger for 14 different electrical installs including flush mounts, ceiling fans, exhaust fans, and even a track light! It took two seperate days to finish the installs but with so many of them, that felt standard. Makale was punctual, professional, and affordable! The only thing I would say I wish I knew I wanted/for you to think about is drywall repair/patchwork. The home I remodeled was from the 70s and I didn't realize how large the holes were for the openings for the original fixtures. If your home is older and it's a remodel project, I recommend bundling in a drywall repair deal (I'm not sure he does this service but its worth asking!) Aside from that, I am very happy with the work he has done. I am living in the property now and have had no issues.

FAQs

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I was looking to become a carpenter, so I was helping my brother finish his basement and ended up wiring up lights as-well We turned the power on and my mind was blown away by how they lights actually came on! I get that same fascination every-time I do work.
