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 was on time and resolved my electrical outlet and connected electrical problems right away.  While at my house he fixed a couple of other electrical issues without any incremental charges.  Both Jason and Stephen are professional and take pride in their work.  I would highly recommend using them.

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!

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 usually don't leave negative feedback, but I think this company is trying to take advantage of victims of Hurricane Ida. We were hit hard with 4+ feet of water in the basement. Xpert Electric was really responsive and sent someone quickly to do an assessment which cost $159. Then once the sheetrock was ripped up they came to do a second assessment for another $70. Finally to redo the wiring in our basement, they gave me an estimate that seemed ridiculous. Even though I needed power immediately I told them I needed a day to think about it. I researched online and the price was way out of line. I believe they assumed our insurance is paying and jacked up the price (like most people affected insurance isn't paying anything).

I contacted another local electric company that had great reviews on Yelp and Facebook groups: Grounded Electric. They gave a free assessment and their final cost is not even one third the cost of Xpert Electric.

Sergii did a great job!  He was prompt and completed the job very efficiently and neatly. His price was reasonable. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a Handyman.

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.

I called and asked to speak with the owner and was immediately cursed out and called horrible things by whoever it was that picked up the phone

They're straight business, get right to the problem, and do a great job. I called because my AC stopped working due to what I suspected was an electronic issue, and they showed up practically immediately, diagnosed it right away, gave me some great advice on a few things, and were super no-nonsense about it. I would call them again in a minute. It was $250 for the first hour and $150 an hour after that for first-time customers. If you value your time, their prompt service, and a quality solution, you'll just call them.

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.

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!
