Recommended Customer Reviews

We were very happy with Kevin's work. We pulled a permit for an up-grade to our home and had to completely re-do a sub-panel with the larger new breakers required by the City. He answered my texts promptly, showed up on time, both times he said he would, completed the job carefully. He was a pleasure to work with. We would definitely call him again for any future electrical needs. Thank you for getting us ""up to code"".

Kevin has now made two appointments and never showed up either time. Not even a phone call. Time to find a new electrician.

Kevin's a good guy and his co-worker Jose is as well. Took a bit to get on his busy calendar but once we did, he performed solid work. Thank you!

We experienced one problem after another with Kevin Shea. At first he was a NO SHOW then it was one excuse after another starting with ex-wife won't watch the kids, truck broke down, sick with the flu, working late on another job! His work is substandard, placing holes in the ceiling for can lights that were not symmetrical (had to patch and re-do) disconnecting wires in the wall, disconnecting power to the dishwasher, moving an electrical outlet 4"" charging $150 and not even patching the job. To date he will not come to fix his mistakes
Buyer beware!!!!!

I waited all day for this guy to pull a no show and the funny thing is he has never called to apologize of even to say what happen a REAL FLAKE.

I had Keith come out and give me an estimate to install a couple of ceiling fans in bedrooms that had no wiring and install a new outlet. He provided a fair estimate and came out three days later and did a SUPERB job. He did the job the way I would have done it if I had his skills and experience. I'm surprised by some of the negative reviews. I would give him more stars if I could and he will be the first person I call if/when I need electrical work in the future. Thanks Keith.

Update- Angie's List refunded the money I paid, since I couldn't get ahold of Kevin Shea to complete the service.
I wish I had read these reviews before purchasing a deal on Angie's List. Kevin Shea is completely unreliable if he already has your money. I purchased a deal for four recessed lights with dimmer. I was booked for a Monday, and Kevin called a few days before to say he was double booked and switched me to TUES from 1-3. I sent an email on TUES morn to reconfirm they would arrive between 1-3 and took the afternoon off from work. When they hadn't arrived by 3pm, I left a message every 30 mins, no call back until 438p. Kevin said his worker had a flat tire and said he had called me to inform me, but when I told him I hadn't received a message and asked what number he had called he said it started with 858, my number starts with 619. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and rebooked the next afternoon which required me to again take off work, (usually I travel out of town each week). He promised his worker would arrive at 1pm (no window since he said he wanted to make up for the missed appt, just promised he would be there promptly at 1pm). The person didn't arrive by 1pm, same thing, called Kevin. No response from Kevin but the worker called at 3pm and said he was on his way, he showed up at about 330pm. He complained when he got her and said Kevin had booked the previous appt far from my home and not given him enough time to get here at 1pm. When he looked at the room he quickly said he had the wrong depth canisters for the recessed lights. I asked how long it would take to order new ones. He said, ""We can get them right away, Kevin just has to go to the store"". ""I may be back tonight but I'll make sure he calls you and let's you know what's going on"". No call that evening or all day THUR. Left him messages on FRI, on FRI evening I received an email that he had been busy the last few days but would get me scheduled in over the weekend. No call on the weekend, didn't hear from him until late MON night with a message that said he was driving home and would call me later. Another week has passed and still no call. Not sure how he stays in business except with some positive reviews, he must focus on those that haven't paid first and continue to put other pre-paid customers on the very distant back burner. Horrible customer service and I
can't rate his actual work since he never did anything. Disputing the charge now.

I contacted Shea electric via email and phone over the past 60 days after having bought an Angie's credit with them even further back. First they did not come except after many weeks, then they did not finish the job. Still waiting even after Angei's list intervened. I rarely give negative ratings. Tthey could have come almost any time since my wife and I both work at home.

Horrible communication skills! I would give 0 stars if I could! Booked an appointment to have a light switch and electrical socket replaced in a bathroom. Took 2 weeks to even get the appointment then on date of service they called and said they may be running late and may not make it at all! Might be able to come the next day in the morning and we told them that would be ok. Well, no showed or called on date of service or the NEXT DAY! No phone call, no return of emails, nothing! Services were pre paid for though Angie's List so apparently they had their $$ and we were out of luck! Luckily Angie's List refunded our voucher! I would never recommend this company unless you want to wait weeks for your work to be scheduled and then weeks for it to MAYBE get done! Kevin, the owner needs to learn better communication skills and customer service. If his work reflects his customer service skills I pity the customer that uses him!!

I purchased a deal through Angie's List for services from Shea. I hadn't read any of his reviews in detail, but now that I have, I see this man has a serious problem. It would appear he has used every excuse in the book for having to cancel an appointment or for not showing up. And I was no exception. I brought this to the attention of Angie's List and received a refund.
