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!

Did install ev car charger. Nice job. Responsive. Priced right. I would highly recommend.

As many others mentioned, these contractors are professional, efficient, clean and friendly. They arrived on time, put down a tarp to protect our wooden floors, and cleaned up the limited mess they made. They completed two major installations in six hours.

They installed marquis lights, patched up the previous outlets with spackle, and connected them to new outlets. Mike may be somewhat somewhat difficult to get a hold of, but it's worth the effort to be persistent. Definitely would hire again.

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'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.

We called this company based on Yelp reviews in a pinch when the old chandelier in our new house caught fire at 7:30 pm on a weekday. No kidding. We looked at 24-hour electricians with five-star reviews and Fuentes was one of them. I called, Jamie answered, I told him the issue and that I wanted the chandelier removed tonight and to go to sleep knowing there wasn't a wiring issue I needed to worry about overnight. He gave me a reasonable price to come over and diagnose the problem and said it would cost a bit more to install a new light and dimmer (once he got here and he figured out what the problem was). He was prompt, knowledgeable, friendly, and informative. We will definitely call again! Highly recommended.

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

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.

Ciro was professional and on time to fix a leak under my bathroom sink. He had to replace a valve which was hard to find but he did and returned to do a great job. He also replaced my front door lock and spent some time cleaning out my dryer vent which was very hard to get to. I was quite horrified to see what came out of there! His assistant was helpful and polite. I am so happy to have found a great handyman who is capable. When you live in an old house there is always something needing fixing. I put it off because dealing with flaky people isn't fun. I highly recommend booking him for any job! Thumbs up.

Very happy to find an electrician who is thoughtful, and knowledgeable!
From my first call through the completion of finding a wire that caused a short and fixing it, I felt comfortable. Rocco arrived at the time designated and went right to work on solving this 1st time in 39 year short that didn't trigger a circuit breaker but did cut all the lights in 3 rooms! He was informative and creative in finding and fixing the problem and the solution. Seems like an overall great company that I will definitely use in the future.

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!
