Customers say: Quick response

"Chad was phenomenal! He communicated every step of the way what he would be doing (and it's crazy I even have to point this out, but he always showed up when he said he would), went above and beyond in lending assistance and expertise to other tradesmen on the project, kept the necessary inspections rolling, he and his crew cleaned up daily, the list goes on and on! I don't take recommendations lightly and I would most certainly put my name behind Chad's work any day of the week! We are so happy with our inground pool and will hire him again for any project without hesitation. He was a true blessing with what could have been a more stressful project!"

"I hired MDG Maintenance the same day as I called. They helped me out in a time of need. Had a very tall 10' Christmas tree to have prepped and place in the stand. Impressed by their professional manner and quick response in coming the same day on a Friday! Would definitely recommend them for any handyman services!"

"The toilet set in my garage for a year and a half. I made sure it s what I purchased and I didn t want to eat spiders getting in so I packaged it back up with packaging tape. He installed the waterline on the refrigerator and made the whole bigger then he went into the master bathroom. I told him ants was coming out of that toilet so I shut off all the water they were from the septic tank. Once he lifted the toilet, we seen an ant nest that was dormant. I quaint everything up and sanitized it then he proceeded to work on toilet the new toilet was laying in the bathroom, seen it with my own eyes. I proceeded to tell him and his grandson I m excited about this dual toilet they ignored me. As I took my finger and pushed the dual flush button that was on the top Tank lid and I said again I can t wait to flush this toilet. I was ignored a second time that should ve been a red flag. Me thinking I was bothering them. I left the room to give them a little more privacy to talk about their next move because he said the toilet moves so he cut some wood to make it more stable. He use some kind of caulking because when he did lift the old toilet off, there was two wax rings. The other Plumber put on the toilet and neither one of it covered the whole toilet properly. That s how the septic ants got in. He went to Home Depot to get the caulking he claimed, but he was gone for like a whole hour and a half and he came back and caulk everything and said it s better if the caulking sits and dries completely before he proceeds to the Tank and all and I said OK. He wanted to come back and finish sooner but I had to work so I had him come back to finish December 10, 2025.. when he finished and I looked at everything I said that s not my toilet. I had a dual flush he said ma am that s what was in the box and I said no it wasn t. We went back-and-forth with that, I went outside to retrieve the box and look at the other toilet that was in the bathroom. It was nowhere on my property. I looked in the garbage cans and everything.and he finally said well the toilet is new if you don t like it, you buy the toilet you want and I ll come back and install it for free. And then he proceeded to wait there to be paid. I m pretty sure when he left for an hour. He took my toilet to his house, they paid him, but as I told him that is not the toilet I purchased and then they also took a cheap bathroom scale that I ve had for 15 years. I could buy an identical one for $10 so that doesn t annoy me at all. I went to work and told everyone what happens they were amazed that someone on Angie s list with actually still a toilet I bought the toilet on sale taking him to court. I would be out of more money than this is actually worth so I figure I ll call Angie s list and let them know what he did. When I told my neighbors about it, they seen him putting my toilet in his vehicle. They were sitting in the back and their sunroom, smoking a cigarette."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Vermilion, OH

There is often some confusion about the type of work these professionals do. They only work on electrical systems such as outlets, lighting fixtures and electrical panels – they aren’t appliance repairmen.

There are three types of electricians: Master, Journeyman and Apprentice. Electrical licensing varies quite a bit by state. Some have licenses for apprentices and some do not. Some have a master’s rank while others stop at journeyman. Despite the differences, they all require a minimum amount of experience and usually classroom time.

  • Apprentice electricians aren’t usually licensed and spend 4 years learning the trade. Throughout that time, they work on a wide range of projects to learn to become a Journeyman. They’ll do basic work like installing fixtures and replacing outlets all the way to assisting in wiring a home. Regardless of the type of project, they must always be supervised by a Journeyman or Master electrician.

  • Journeymen work without supervision. In a few states, this is the highest level available and they can do all levels of work from wiring a new home to installing a light. In some states, they need a separate electrical contractor license to run a business. In places with a master’s level, a journeyman can do all work besides design new electrical systems.

  • Master electricians usually manage a shop, design new electrical systems in new construction and oversee both Journeyman and Apprentices. They typically bid new projects. Though they focus on larger projects, it’s not unheard of for a homeowner to request a Master Electrician for a house call. If you do, expect to spend up to 25% more for the visit.

Generally, you don’t tip electricians, but that’s not to say they don’t appreciate it if you do. You can offer them something to drink or eat, like coffee and donuts. Most will appreciate it if you do.

The education and certifications required to become an electrician vary by state, though they generally follow this list:

  1. Apprentice

    • Does not always require a license depending on the state.

    • Learns on the job under Journeyman and Master Electricians.

    • Usually needs 4 years on-the-job training before they can test for a Journeyman license. Many states also require a technical degree to advance.

    • Always require supervision.

  2. Journeyman

    • Needs between 8,000 to 10,000 hours of on-the-job training and usually 500 to 1,000 hours of classroom experience.

    • Can usually supervise apprentices.

    • They can diagnose and repair electrical problems.

  3. Master

    • Achieved after an additional two years (4,000 hours) working as a Journeyman and taking the Master Electrician Exam.

    • Besides diagnosing and repairing electrical systems, they also design them. In most places they run shops and inspect Journeyman and Apprentice work.

    • Not a recognized rank in all states.

  4. Electrical Contractor License is an optional license in some states for a Master Electrician to run a business. Some states have this instead of the Master license.

Electricians make an average of $26 per hour but it ranges with experience and licensing. An apprentice may make about half that while a Master Electrician may hit closer to $40 per hour. This figure represents how much they make; not how much they bill. Their salary is only one component of their costs. They must also figure in overhead, taxes, equipment, insurance and several other expenses.

Leave electrical work to the professionals. Electrical systems are complex and potentially hazardous when not handled and installed correctly. If it were easy, it wouldn’t take 4 years to become a journeyman or 6 years for a master’s license. If you are determined to forge ahead yourself, understand home electrical safety before beginning any project.Even for simple common electrical projects, a licensed pro is best. Not only is it safer, but contractors guarantee and insure their work. Hire a professional to keep your home’s electrical systems functioning properly and safely.
