Best Businesses in New York, NY

Full disclosure: I didn't actually hire Mike.

I called him because there were sounds coming from my fuse box and Mike seemed to have good reviews. It was the Saturday of Labor Day Weekend so I asked if he was working and he said he was out of town, but asked me what was wrong. He then stayed on the phone with me for about 10 minutes guiding me through steps I could follow to try to fix the problem. Those steps worked. He also asked I text him back to let him know if things didn't improve.

I much appreciate Mike's kindness and clearly, aptitude. I will not hesitate to call him again for any electrical issues.

A great team that does outstanding work. Let the photos speak for themselves. Look no further.

I had 2 outlets I needed updated to have usb charging and they came right away and did everything in 15 minutes. Great to deal with. Definitely recommend.

I had a problem with a fuse that kept blowing.  I found Mickle on Yelp, called him in the afternoon, and he scheduled to come over that same evening when convenient for me.  He had no problem with me rescheduling for a bit later at the last minute.  When he arrived he figured out the cause of the problem and performed the work necessary to fix it.  Even though it took longer than he expected, and kept him late on a weekend night, he did not alter his original price quote.  Thanks very much.

I'll give them a different review when they actually bother to get back to me ...  they're supposed to be 24 hours... ?  I left 3 messages on their answering service and 2 texts for them yesterday starting from the late morning to late evening and no one got back to me - so far,  NOT impressed.  Not getting back to a potential customer ?  Not professional.

I have had a mysterious electrical problem on a relatively new line for several years. I have had electrical contractors estimate extremely expensive repairs involving new lines and chipping through a tile wall.

Nair did a thorough diagnosis and was able to fix the problem in a few minutes with an 6 length of wire!  I could not be happier!!

They are experienced, knowledgable, thorough, fast, reasonably priced and nice. I highly recommend!

Great service, came and fixed a light in the ceiling, explained to me as a home owner things to watch out for and also just the nature of older houses/ electrical wiring etc. Finished and installed a new light within an hour. Good pricing and prompt with time.

Very pleased.  Mr. Conroy (Danny) was right on time, efficient, polite and pleasant and charged even less than his reasonable estimate.  Highly recommend him!

We needed a new breaker box, as ours was falling apart. CS came by to give me a quote and checked out the electrical in the whole apartment. I thought I might have to rewire the whole place, but they told me that after they swapped out the box that it would probably fix our issues. They steered me away of spending money I didn't need to spend, when they could have easily told me I needed to do more work. They came in, put in the new box, left the apartment cleaner than it was, and were super nice the whole time. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Don't recommend. He was like you didn't pay me from three years ago. I said why didn't you say anything? Nothing. Slightly aggressive and annoying. I would hire someone else.

First off when you deal with CEL Electric, you're dealing with the owner of the company not just another employee. Scott has done several projects in our 120 year old brownstone and these are not simple or straightforward jobs. The building's wiring is original and needs to be handled with great care and that's exactly what we've experienced on each job he handled for us. His electrical work is first-rate and he is meticulous working with outlets and switches on old, dry plaster walls and fans on ornate ceilings and that's something often overlooked with electricians. Each and every time I've called, he's been super responsive and we've had no qualms with his quotes. No reason to even think about using anyone else and that's a great feeling.

He was great! I needed to disconnect my washer and dryer and he even gave me good advice!

Ilya and Michael installed a junction box and pendant light for me.  They responded to my request quickly and we scheduled an appointment within a few days.  They arrived on time and did the install very quickly.  They were polite, courteous and and professional.  I will be calling on them again.

An outlet overheated last night and shorted another outlet with it. After hearing a pop and a burning smell, I knew I would need an electrician. I really appreciated that Donald got back to my quote request last night within 20 minutes and scheduled a time to come the very next morning. Communication was great and he and his teammate arrived on time. The consultation was free and the work was very reasonably priced. I also really appreciate that they made themselves available to come out before another job this morning.  And both of them were incredibly friendly and safe, wearing masks while doing the repair. Both shorted outlets were diagnosed and repaired in roughly 30 minutes. Amazing!  I'll definitely be calling him again for more electrical work in the future. Thank you so much again Donald!

Wow--the technicians from G&R completely blew me away with their punctuality, professionalism and knowledge of their work. What I thought would be such an electrical headache turned out to be taken off my shoulders and fixed in a breeze. I recommend this company to anyone who's looking for electrical work done and has been burned by unprofessional, unreliable companies in the past. They came into my home, at the time they specified, with covers on their shoes (a pet peeve of mine is when service providers stomp around in my shoe-free home) and provided me with a clear and concise work estimate. They didn't just hand me a piece of paper and leave me to decipher it myself, but took the time to explain what needed to be done and WHY, and what materials and time it would entail. I could tell that safety was their number one priority throughout. As a mom of two little ones, I appreciated the sense of care and caution. When all was said and done, the owner himself called me a few days later and asked if I had any further questions or issues. I had none, and appreciated that extra touch. Kudos, G&R, I have already recommended you guys to my friends, family and coworkers, and you have a repeat customer right here for life!

I rarely ever write a yelp review but given Eugene's extremely professional service, I just had to! I requested a service from Eugene to mount a tv to a wall as well as cut a kitchen countertop. The business responded extremely quickly, I would say within 5 minutes for each of my inquiries AND it was on a Saturday. All of the other companies I contacted were either booked for the next 2 weeks (quite ridiculous) or provided me a much higher quote. He performed everything very swiftly and was very knowledgeable as he answered all the questions I had. I was going to build the island myself with the countertop pieces he had cut but when he arrived to my apartment, I asked if it was possible for him to complete the project for me for an extra charge. He built the island for me and provided advice on how to level and stabilize the island at no extra cost!! Eugene is an extremely hard worker and I will definitely recommend him to anyone who wants a fast, clean and professional service! I am COMPLETELY IN LOVE with the island, exactly how I imagined with very little to no explaining required. He is hands down going to be my handyman for any other needs moving forward.

I got up this morning to find that my power was out. I frantically contacted several electricians for help, and electrific actually helped me restore my power. My power was restored within 30 mins of contacting electrific. I will definitely use their services in the future.

Katie is the best! After 3 horrible experiences with different handymen in Brooklyn (light fixture dropped and smashed mid-install, yelled at for having trouble hearing him on the phone, etc.) a friend recommended Katie and I'll be using her services forever. She's extremely knowledgeable and everything we've had her install or fix is done skillfully--but she's always willing to answer questions, talk through her work, etc as well. Thanks Katie!

Called last minute and Roman sent someone within 2 hours. His guy did a great job. I would definitely recommend!

I contacted Gladiator Electric to see if they could replace a small ceiling light fixture (no fan) with a pull chain.  I had already bought the replacement light.

I ultimately reached them through Yelp's messaging system, and the owner, Mike, replied within 30 minutes.  I told him the work that needed to be done and a picture of the replacement light fixture.  Since it wasn't an urgent request, Mike gave me a quote that was very reasonable and a list of available times in the following week.  Upon confirmation of the job, I received an email and text that went to their website that listed my job, the price of it, and who was performing the work (Eric).

In the following week, on the day of the job, I received a text from their website, indicating their estimated time of arrival.  Eric the electrician showed up on schedule.  I handed him the replacement light and showed him where the old light was located.  Eric asked some additional questions about the electrical wiring, which I answered to the best of my ability.  He brought in his small utility ladder and got to work.  I chatted with him a little bit initially, and Eric was a super friendly guy.  I then left him to do his work.  He finished the work in about 25 minutes.  I paid Gladiator, and Eric was off to his next job.

I am very happy with Gladiator's workmanship, even though this was a small job.  I also like their computer system setup, as I could see the statement of work online and get status updates.  Gladiator Electric is very organized with its paperwork.  I hope to use them again in the future.
