Windward Electric

I work in construction and have been exposed to many different contractors over the years. I prefer to work with trades that are 5-star from start to finish but they few and far between.

Well... Windward is that 5-star Contractor I was looking for. Erik and Darren are both professional, reliable and do A+ work!

Would HIGHLY recommend!

I had mixed results with this company. Overall I give them a solid OK.

I hired them to wire a gazebo. The electrical part seems perfect, but the mechanical part left something to be desired. They trenched the electrical line, and accidentally cut a telephone line and a drip irrigation line. They promised that they would call back the same day with a schedule for repairing these two items, but it took several days and a follow-up email from me to get a date for this repair. A week and a half passed between when the accidental cuts occurred and they were repaired. They did a pretty good job of restoring the trenched area, but forgot to put back some border stones and boards.

Communication with them is weak in general. I sent them a detailed description of the wiring job, and they sent me a draft estimate. Their lead technician also came out to check the work area, and said they would send a revised final estimate. However, I didn't receive anything, and upon contacting the office again they said the initial estimate was also the final estimate. They did the work for the indicated price, except that I agreed to a slight increase because the trenching required renting more equipment than they expected.

I had Erik do a few jobs for me over the last few years.  The first was expanding my electric panel to an additional panel and installing a 30A outlet.  He did a great job and worked with me to do it within my budget but without cutting corners.

The second job was to rectify an issue with the previous owner where they allowed a mice infestation to destroy a good bit of the wiring right below the power panel.  Erik did a great job bringing everything up to code and more importantly ensuring it was safe for my family moving forward.

I highly recommend Erik and will absolutely be using him more in the future.

I hired Eric and his team for several projects, including moving a ceiling fan over a large vaulted room, grounding my gas and water lines, and installing a new outlet.

I found Windward to be a joy to work with throughout the entire project. They were responsive to my initial reachout, provided a detailed quote, and delivered upon it on time and on budget. Highly recommend their services!

Great communication online about the job (installing EVSE outlet) and straightforward quote.  Job was performed expeditiously and efficiently, professional staff.  Would hire again!

They've been responsive and professional over the course of a two-year battle with a heater installation in a challenging location: showing up on time every time, responding to calls over the weekend, and generally doing good work.

I am the manager of a business in Boulder and was assigned the task of finding a reliable electrician in Boulder to add some new lighting for us, fix some flickering/shorting issues we have been having due to old electrical in our building, and set up our old track lighting which was no longer usable. Erik was extremely helpful on the phone, was able to come and do a consultation for us on site within two days and then schedule us almost immediately for the fix.

Paul was the Master Electrician who came to complete our job. He was on time, friendly, honest, and fixed every issue we had and did an incredible job with our new installations.

I would HIGHLY recommend Windward Electric to anyone - for home or business in the Boulder area.

Erik and his team (Jeff and Patrick were the main guys on our job) were great: very respectful, professional, and skilled. We had a fairly large job (EVSE outlet, service upgrade, and panel relocation), and their quote was competitive, they had great communication, and any time there was a question as to how we wanted something to look (had to cut into the deck for part of their work), they checked in to get our input to make sure they did what we preferred. All their work was super clean (although I wish they had used a vacuum while cutting the drywall, since the dust got all over everything). I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again for any electrical work.

Erik (the owner) and Darren were great.  Erik called to let me know they would be delayed a few minutes coming from another job, which was fine.  These guys know how to balance professionalism with a sense of humor. They were able to solve my (relatively minor) electrical issues quickly.  I'd definitely use Windward Electric again and would highly recommend them.

Darren and Jeff came to install a ceiling fan on a high sloped roof.  This was a difficult and involved installation, but they showed up on time,  worked clean, fast and friendly!  Worked with us to determine exact location.
It was necessary to schedule a second visit to finish the installation as we had to order some other parts.  Again they showed up on time and did a great job!  I would give this company my highest recommendation!
