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!

Came the next day. Lost power due to a faulty box somewhere in the house.  What I thought could be a treasure hunt was quickly figured out and repaired.  Would 100% recommend and already have.

We recently moved, and we did a couple of works in the new property, so I had to deal with several contractors, Malfettone Electric, was the best to work with.
They deliver what promise and beyond, their work ethic is impeccable: they arrive on time, they are careful of the furniture, they execute creatively to take care of your things, they suggest alternatives... And they are very patient!
They make sure you are happy, even if that means extra work.  
Mike is always on top of everything, but I have to say that the people who work with him, were also great: very respectful, detail oriented and leave everything clean.
I not only would recommended them, I'd hire them again and again.
I wish all my contractors were like Malfettone Electric.

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!

My husband and I needed an electrician to provide an electrical upgrade quote during our final walkthrough. We did an internet search and really liked the reviews left for No Shorts Electric. I made an appointment with Mike over the phone and he was able to meet us early in the morning. During his inspection he provided us with a detailed plan on what was needed and what could be done with our home and garage. After receiving the estimate we proceeded to setup a date to have the work done. I was worried that it would take a few days, but Mike brought a whole team to knock the job out within a day. We are very satisfied with the work of his team and would recommend them to anyone in need of an electrician.

I've worked with Xpert Electric a few times now on  a number of electric projects I've had and they've become my go-to for any electrical issues.  Xavier and his team are always on time and gets the job done ahead of schedule.  It's been a pleasure working with them and we'll continue to do so in the future.

Serge came over at the exact time we agreed with. His work is very organize and detailed.
You can't go wrong with him.
The installation of mounting a TV and Sonos Playbar was less than an hour. He brings tools that are necessary for Metal & wood studs and makes his job very clean. His prices are very reasonable I will hire him again if I need some good work on my walls in the future.

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.

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.

Dennis and his employees were wonderful and did a great job. Dennis was quick to stop by to evaluate the problem and also scheduled his crew right away. The guys in his crew were courteous, efficient and hard working. I was extremely happy with the service and would want them to help fix any other electrical issues I may have in the future.

VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.  
Okay - here's the story.  I have this annoying chandelier that keeps crazily lighting on fire and blowing out.  But I love it and so I had it fixed a couple of times at my old place and even took it with me when I moved.  Fast forward to Prospect Heights....same old, same old: my light starts doing it's crazy stuff, light bulbs start blowing out, children and adults alike in the house are scared.  

I decide to check out Yelp for electrician reviews in my new hood.  Gambi has great ones so I decide to give them a try.  I call at 9am, by 9:30am, I have a returned call and by 10am Eugene is here fixing my light.  He tells me it has to go with him to the hospital and I figure I'll be without it for at least a week.  Nope - he says it will be back in two hours and it is.  He installs it, all of the lights work again and I am a satisfied customer.  

But then.....
an hour later, I am upstairs and I hear a huge crash.  I come down to see that one of the big crystal balls around the lights has fallen and shattered.  Glass is everywhere and the light is ruined.  It's after 5pm (of course), but I call and leave a message.  Five minutes later my call is returned.  10 mins later, Eugene is back.  He then proceeds to spend TWO PLUS HOURS sweeping and vacuuming and all kinds of crazy clean up for the incredible mess.  And then without my saying anything, he proceeds to make arrangements for how to replace the globe that has shattered (which I later found out was no easy feat and I know it cost a bundle).  He got the globe quickly and replaced it right away.  

When I effusively thanked him for customer service unlike what I usually get, he said that his work is good quality so this almost never happens, but when it does, this is what he does because it's what should be done.  Amazing.  Too bad it's so not the norm.  

oh and...
1) the issue was not his fault -- the light had been faultily repaired (he showed me - it was super bootleg) by the previous handyman that I had come
2) several weeks later and no issues with the light
3) not one piece of glass.  NOT ONE.  we all know how hard that is, right?  there must have been two million shards and I have toddlers...and bare feet so I was super grateful.

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 started discussing the project I had with Ciro back in April. I needed someone to add mesh to the bottom of my fence line to deal with rats coming from neighboring yards.  This required digging up a garden and trying to preserve the 70 year old plants along the fence line. He took a look at the job and gave a very reasonable price.  Ciro did the work in one day, came on time, prepared with his own tools and left the job site in a clean fashion (and he provided me with a receipt).  A true professional.   Brooklyn is in the need of a good handyman and I think they found one.  I look forward to using Ciro again in the future.

We called Ceriello to replace two burnt-out outlets in our kitchen. They sent someone the same day, and the guy they sent, Nick, was friendly, knowledgable, and had the job done quickly and efficiently. I can't recommend Ceriello highly enough! We'll definitely use them again!

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!
