So, about two weeks ago I found a leak in my kitchen, and as a result, had to get several panels of hardwood floor removed to expose the subfloor and let it dry out. The roaches were not on board with this plan and decided that if their home was gonna be destroyed, they'd move in with me. After a week of chasing them around with can of Raid, I decided to purchase some professional grade stuff that I can spray directly into the crevices of the exposed subfloor. I'm scheduled to get new flooring put down tomorrow so today was my last chance to contain the problem.
A minute or so into admiring the precision with with which I was able to apply this life saving (or life ending if you're a bug) solution of insecticide, a huge spark launches out of from somewhere on the floor -- nearly giving me a heart attack -- and I see the green light of the outlet I'm standing next to go dim. I check my circuit breaker panel and did not notice any circuits that had flicked off. I tried turning some of them on/off anyway, but to no avail. I frantically signup for Angie's list, and begin calling every licensed electrician in my area hoping that someone is able to come in today since tomorrow at 8:30am: new floor. It was a BIG spark, and I can't enjoy my floor if I die in a fire (or the guys who are installing it do).
As I made my way down the list of highly rated electricians provided to me by Angie's List, I eventually end up calling Solomon and explained the situation to him. I was immediately grateful that he understood what had happened wasn't an emergency per se, but it was an emergency to me -- I WANT MY FLOOR BACK. He asks me to text him as many pictures as possible so he can assess the situation. I do, and less than 5 minutes later, he calls me back, and dare I say sounds happy.
Apparently what happened to me is relatively common as the wiring for GTCI outlets (the ones that have reset & test buttons) is very sensitive and didn't appreciate me spraying aerosol insecticide in its vicinity. Solomon instructed me to take another look at my circuit breaker panel. Turns out that I had reset the incorrect breaker (stupid illegible labels), and there actually was one that was not in the off position, but wasn't exactly in the on position either. I flipped it back on and problem solved.
Considering that I was ready to shell out a chunk of cash (that I don't have) to get someone to my apartment ASAP, and also knowing that the chances of even getting that to happen were slim, to say that I am thankful is an understatement, hence this review. So, no, Solomon did not actually physically fix my problem, instead he assessed, diagnosed, and fixed the problem all remotely, and for free at that. Although I never hope to again be in the market for an electrician, at least I know who to call if I ever get another I almost started an electrical fire heart attack.

A great resource for your electrical needs. We worked with Sein Me on the installation of 4 ceiling lights in our hallway. Prompt and professional interaction the entire time. We will use again!

Great, easy experience from start to finish. I was looking to have some dimmers and a closet outlet installed in a home we recently purchased. Jason provided a fair estimate, got us scheduled within 2 weeks (and then was able to fit us in even earlier than our original appointment) and the whole project was a breeze. His crew was polite and professional, did great work and cleaned up on their way out. Highly recommend, total pros.

Really happy with Malfettone. I found them via review sites (yelp and google). I needed some minor electrical problems that were picked up during a house inspection in order to proceed with the sale. They read through the report and were over in less than 24 hours where there to fix it! Amazing.
When I looked at their portfolio of work, it seemed like they do much more larger projects. So I was a bit worried they would not prioritize my piddly little issues like rewiring outlets, but they did!
Also, I read through the negative reviews and I didn't experience their complaints (with was lack of communication). They always answered a call or returned it within a half hour. Same with email, texts and invoicing. Absolutely no problems there, I found them incredibly responsive and quick. Would def recommend to people.

I had an excellent experience with Omeshwar. He was very professional and did a great job installing a number of dimmers throughout my house. There were a couple complicated issues that arose during the install, and Omeshwar handled them like a pro. He was also a pleasure to work with, was great at communicating, and was reasonably priced. Will definitely be going back to him in the future!

Really great service from Husnain! He was quick, efficient, price is fair, and very communicative. Thanks for your help!

They appeared to be responsive in getting to our home for the quote. The father, who is the main expert in this family-run business, spent time with us and explained our options. He said he would email us the quote within 48 hours. He left and we never heard from him again. Why waste our time and his - come to that. If he decided he did not want to even give us a quote or not do the work, just say so there and then or even after the fact. This is the first contractor to walk away from a possibly client-costly / money-making job.

I usually don't leave negative feedback, but I think this company is trying to take advantage of victims of Hurricane Ida. We were hit hard with 4+ feet of water in the basement. Xpert Electric was really responsive and sent someone quickly to do an assessment which cost $159. Then once the sheetrock was ripped up they came to do a second assessment for another $70. Finally to redo the wiring in our basement, they gave me an estimate that seemed ridiculous. Even though I needed power immediately I told them I needed a day to think about it. I researched online and the price was way out of line. I believe they assumed our insurance is paying and jacked up the price (like most people affected insurance isn't paying anything).
I contacted another local electric company that had great reviews on Yelp and Facebook groups: Grounded Electric. They gave a free assessment and their final cost is not even one third the cost of Xpert Electric.

I'm also a large fat transgender human, and I feel safe around Sergi.

Jaime from Fuentes Family Electrical helped me out big time. We were ordering new appliances and needed to coordinate the specs for the machines with the power drops in my house. I was told by the appliance store that I would need to do some electrical work to make it happen.
Jamie made it extremely simple. He was helpful, very personal, interested, super knowledgable, and just nice. He offered to come over and assess the problem by morning, and even to walk me through it on the phone right there.
I actually didn't need his services in the end, but I will be calling for all of my electrical needs in the future.

I called Gambi based on the high recommendations on this site, but it has turned out to be a nightmare.
Eugene came in a timely manner to repair two exterior lights that weren't working correctly, meaning the lights would come on sometimes with the timer, sometimes not, and sometimes flicker. He said I needed a new timer for one, which he purchased and I reimbursed him for. He and his assistant tried for some time to program the timer, but did a poor job of it and the light would go on some days, not on others. I ultimately programmed it myself and it works ok.
The other fixture he allegedly fixed continued to blow out bulbs. I replaced the bulbs myself several times, but figured there must be a problem with the fixture so I called him to come back. (To his credit, Eugene answers his phone and comes when he says he will.) Eugene came back on two more occasions to rectify the problem, but he just changed bulbs, which would blow out several days after he changed them. On his last visit, he accused me of just wanting him to change bulbs, which was highly insulting as well as incorrect. I have better things to do with my time than to schedule someone to come change lightbulbs, and the fact is that had he done his job correctly the first time, he wouldn't have had to return.
I've owned this house for 12 years and know that changing exterior fixture bulbs is not a weekly chore. In the past I've had contractors who, when faced with a job outside of their competency level, would have the integrity to admit as much. This job was obviously over Eugene's head, but that didn't stop him from wasting my time and money.
Save yourself the headache. Don't use Gambi.

Hired rob to rewire my attic had some damage before from a short that went wrong, he was fair with the price and quality workmanship.

Called Ciro for a very dangerous situation. I had a rotted window frame with the pane suspended only by the bottom corner. The bottom of the frame was leaning against the air conditioner. At any time, the pane could have fallen out of the frame.
Ciro responded very quickly. He came and gave me a reasonable estimate and completed this job and another issue. He was on time and very professional.
Thank you very much Ciro for your quick attention.

I had a couple of small jobs - the kind that it is almost impossible to get an electrician to come for. I called and was able to make an appointment for a specific time. Rocco showed up exactly on time with his own ladder and tools. He was able to troubleshoot my two problems and carry out the necessary work in less than an hour. He was very nice and professional. It was an excellent experience -

Avoid at all costs. I asked the guy (Jeff Brausewetter) to install a 220v outlet for a new dryer and he said he needed to put in a new breaker box. I paid for it, and he came and installed it; he told me he was almost done but just needed to get the part for the outlet. Then he stopped answering the phone or replying to my texts. Finally he replied saying that he had been locked out of his phone and would sort me out, but after that he became unresponsive at the new number too. Finally I had another electrician out (Riviera Electric, recommended). He explained that (i) Jeff's breaker box was completely useless, and (ii) he hadn't actually done anything except for screwing the box onto the wall - no wiring or anything. So, I'm out over $300 with nothing to show for it except for a useless breaker box that I'm going to have to throw away. BEWARE!
