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!

Have hired Jason and Stephen several times--these guys are fantastic. Good people and good electricians. They know what they are doing and they do it well, quickly, efficiently and with zero drama.

Pricing is fair and transparent. Scheduling is straightforward. And I really appreciate that they always try to understand the job in detail when I call them and before they show up. If it's something that requires some pre-planning / pre-work, they'll tell you--saves time and money. Once on the job, they communicate very well how long certain things will take and whether something is worth doing or not. Again, saves me time and money.

Easily among the best contractors I've dealt with.

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!

I bought a cooktop that needed installation. Best Buy came out and was unable to install because of the oven and stove using the same line. I called No Shorts, and was told I could get a same day appointment. Stanley came a few hours later and created a new line, installed the cooktop, took the old one with him, all in under an hour. He was very conversational and pleasant. Very pleased and will definitely recommend. Also, the individual I spoke to on the phone was great.

Jacob and Henry were very professional in the electrical jobs needed for my home. They showed up and evaluated each job and made suggestions. I had some rewiring and outlets that needed work and they were taken care of in a short period of time. We're very appreciative of the work done.

I highly recommend Serge to anyone looking for his services! I needed my TV mounted, and he not only responded right away, but made the process seamless for me. I messaged him on a Saturday and had my installation on Tuesday.
After he mounted the TV and left, I realized I actually wanted it to be lower. I messaged Serge and he came back right away! He re-mounted the TV to my satisfaction and I'm left with a great viewing experience.
He also gave me some tips for shelving and lighting that I could install, so I may be giving him a call in the future!

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.

Alex was the only one able/willing to come same day (Sunday).  He diagnosed and fixed our washing machine very quickly.  Very happy with the service, would call him again for any future appliance repairs.

We lost power on Christmas Day. After ConEdison was unable to resolve the issue, Dennis and team came to help us on short notice, with great responsiveness and courtesy. For a very reasonable price, York fixed our problem quickly and efficiently. So appreciative of their time and professionalism. Strongly recommend!!!

I just used Gambi Electric for the first time, based upon their excellent reviews on Yelp, which are totally justified.  Eugene and his partner were fantastic.  They are really nice guys who diagnosed my electrical problem almost immediately as well as determining another problem with my circuit breakers that I was not aware of.  They fixed everything at a very reasonable price.  They obviously have years of experience and know what they are doing.

I immediately got a great vibe from these guys, that they are trustworthy, totally professional and good people.  I plan to use them for my future electrical jobs.  I highly recommend them.  Jeff Anderson

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.

Friendly, reliable, and responsive handyman. He got the work done efficiently and we are very happy with the quality of work! He has already completed multiple jobs for my moms house and I only found him two weeks ago. He put up a new towel rod through tile, installed a new mailbox, fixed our leaky basement pipe, and helped with a minor repair on our screen door. Highly recommend for all the odd jobs you have around your home.

Good news: The electrician who did the walk through and gave the estimate seemed knowledgeable.
Bad news: It took over a week for anyone to come to my apartment and look over the job. The estimate cost $160. While the job was fairly small, the estimate was over $3,000. When I requested an itemized estimate, I was told they were too busy and they don't do that.  They had a take it or leave it attitude towards the estimate. They were very unpleasant on the phone. Their customer service is what you would expect when you tell the person in the subway booth that there are rats on the platform.

Frontier responded to my message through the Yelp messaging system.

I called and they sent out an electrician very quickly.

Jeff diagnosed the problems, and acquired and installec the replacement parts needed.

Jeff also made some very helpful suggestions which are much appreciated.

I Highly Recommended Frontier for fast, efficient, and friendly service.
