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 were a pleasure to work with. They arranged an appointment shortly after my call, arrived when promised, and proceeded to fix several electrical problems. They fully explained the pros and cons of several choices about types of lighting for a vanity area and landscape lighting. They really know what they are doing! They finished 3 separate tasks quickly, and, best of all, did not push us to do more than necessary. I recommend them very highly.

I second the reviews by others. Jason was professional during the estimate process and had good recommendations. His team was very good on the day of the installation. They were professionals and very good at what they do. I would highly recommend Jason - reasonable, professional, helpful and excellent execution.

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.

Xpert Electric was Very professional . I needed them to look into an electrical issue we had and they were able to diagnose the issue right away and able to fix the problem . The pricing was very reasonable . I would recommend them for all electrical issues .

Serge was very efficient and honest. He came on time around 10 a.m. and left his tools and the ladder after seeing the wall heights. We have 12 ft walls so he needed a tall ladder. He returned after 45 mins as there is no free parking near our Condominium and he had to park almost 7/8 blocks away. He put up all the paintings as well as the Zebra skin on the wall properly. We were delighted with his work. He didn't waste any time even though he was working on an hourly basis. He also started his time after parking the car.

I certainly recommend him highly for any installation job.

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.

We have been using them for many years.    They have done work outside putting in garden lights and inside upgrading our panel in garage (I guess for voltage).   Also have done minor repairs in the house.   Just replaced an old switch on the bedroom wall that turned the chandelier over the bed on.   Dennis (both of them) are easy to contact and set up a time.    Staff is friendly and do the best to clean up.     Highly recommend them

I spent a while trying to track down an electrician who actually had a phone and would actually call back. It's not easy! Then I found Gambi on yelp. They picked up the phone, scheduled an appointment, showed up and did the work. Eugene was my guy and he was terrific, he explained everything, gave me choices about how to handle issues and was clear about costs. Btw 175 for coming to the house and 100 each hour after that. Totally worth it for the work they did.

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 needed an outlet replaced as well as recessed into a concrete wall of a 130 year old house. Ciro responded immediately, came by the next day to look at everything and give an estimate- which was less than anyone else and very reasonable. He arrived the next morning early to fix it. Was super professional, cleaned up after himself, was fast and even answered questions about other things around the house. It looked better than I imagined and I'll be using him for all kinds of things going forward.

To install Nest thermostats to an old heating system with separate zones will often bring a few surprises, as in my home, but which Frank and Nick addressed with competence and professionalism. The heating works well BECAUSE Frank insisted they stayed until old switches were replaced, kept communicating with us and only left once they were sure that everything was in order. Thank you!

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!
