Best Businesses in New York, NY

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!

Jason and Stephen are excellent. When my husband and I were under contract to purchase a home, they came out and gave us a quote on the service. The prices were reasonable and they were incredibly honest from the start with what I should be concerned about or not concerned about which really put this first-time homeowner's fears at rest. When our closing date got pushed back another month due to delays in the seller's oil tank test return, Jason and Stephen were understanding.
After we finally closed, they came out, did the work as promised, and even saved me a few $ with finding other solutions. Even the chandelier they hung, Jason made sure to get it to face a direction where I was happy with it.

The work was done on Friday and Jason was still great enough to try and push pseg to come out to service an old exterior wire (pseg's fix not ours), AFTER he services our house. The extra time he took to try and help says a lot about this company. They really do care about their clients without trying to upsell every 5 minutes.

The town electrical inspector came today and he said that he used to be an electrical contractor too. He was impressed with Jason and Stephen's work. He said the work they did was beautiful and very neat and that they did a great job. This is the kind of work I used to do when I was a contractor. Not everyone does it as good as this. That's pretty awesome to hear. So glad we hired them. Honest, friendly, professional, and appreciative of our business with them.

Thanks, guys! We now have ourselves our go-to electricians!

I'd write a review on their actual work but cannot get in contact with this company despite leaving multiple messages over several weeks.

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!

The first time I hired No Shorts Electric, I needed last minute help installing an electric oven that was delivered the day before Thanksgiving. The installers from the company I purchased it from couldn't figure out how to properly install it. Dominick was able to accomodate my family the day before a major holiday and literally saved the day for us! Since then, we have hired the company for a few other projects and each time they are prompt and professional. I wouldn't even think about hiring another company! Definitely recommend 100%!

These guys are amazing, did exactly what I needed quickly and efficiently.  Very cost effective and Xavier was up front with costs based on what I requested.  The two workers he sent over were awesome, really nice guys and made the whole thing a breeze.  Definitely my electricians from now on!

I'm A disabled salon owner. I would NOT be in business right now if it weren't for Sergi. he has installed my retail wall shelving, every single piece of art I own, and he customizes all of my furniture so they sit at 20 inches for my disability needs. he is precise, he's punctual.

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

Jaime did a great job installing our ceiling fans.  He was very responsive from the first call, coming over same-day to assess the job.  Weekend hours and quick to respond, worked with us to find a reasonable price.

They have us a very good price. They came same day. They had the part in stock. They were flexible. They fixed the issue. The price was very reasonable especially for same day. We strongly recommend them.

Had a problem with our stove wired improperly. Made a call to York Electric. Young man named Tommy arrived same day I called and came right on time. He was very knowledgeable, professional and honest. Fixed the problem in no time. I would highly recommend this company to anyone and everyone. Price was great!!!  If you want absolute best CALL YORK!!!

I had a problem with multiple fixtures in my property. I called and they came at the time they had told me and even called before they got here. They came, found the problem and gave me fast and good solutions.  I will definitively use them again

Rob Ferrito owns the company. Extremely professional in a world where contractors are no longer professional. He'll come at the agreed time, finish on the agreed finish date, and clean up behind him. He is a Professional Electrician. I could not recommend another electrician more highly. However, the service and reputation will cost you. His employees are as professional as he. You want an cheap price, call another electrician. You want an excellent job, call him.

I found Ciro through Yelp and so glad I did! He was quick to respond via Yelp and diagnosed the issue with my sink with a photo and video and able to provide an estimate which was much more reasonable than others. He kept me posted on his timeframe to arrive which I appreciated. He completed the job efficiently and charged me the quoted price. Happy to have found a reliable handyman for the future!

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!
