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!

Exceptional service from Jason & Stephen - it's easy to see why they have unanimously stellar reviews. They were punctual, friendly, informative - - all around a very well-run operation, and they made sure to clean up everything they worked on. We will absolutely be looking for them again the next time we need an electrician.

These guys were professional and fast.  They fit my small home repair while they were working on a larger installation and were responsive and reasonably priced.  When I asked for help adding an internet cable to a line they were putting into my home office, they were completely helpful.  High recommend and I'm glad I found a good electritian in JC.

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!

The first time I hired No Shorts Electric, I needed last minute help installing an electric oven that was delivered the day before Thanksgiving. The installers from the company I purchased it from couldn't figure out how to properly install it. Dominick was able to accomodate my family the day before a major holiday and literally saved the day for us! Since then, we have hired the company for a few other projects and each time they are prompt and professional. I wouldn't even think about hiring another company! Definitely recommend 100%!

These guys were great. I had trouble finding an electrician in this area on short notice. They actually picked up the phone (which was surprisingly rare), scheduled an appointment same day, fixed 2 problems within an hour (that prior handyman couldn't figure out) and were good with my kids. Pricing was competitive with another quote I received. Would highly recommend.

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 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.

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.

Excellent experience with York Electric. Just had them run an electric stove hookup and move my breaker box. Dennis and his team were on time, very professional, and completed the job in a timely manner. They even left the work area far cleaner than when they found it. I know from experience that selecting the right contractor/electrician can be difficult but I wouldn't hesitate to use them again and would absolutely recommend.

I called Mr. Tapia yesterday and we set up an appointment for today to fix an outlet at my uncle's apartment. He and his associate Rashid came in just at the agreed time. They fixed the particular outlet plus thightened a couple more that were loose; they also installed a couple of light bulbs which I was afraid to do because the ceilings are very high. I asked Mr. Tapia to check my aunt's apartment next door since she also had a problem with the ceiling light. Not only they fixed it but he also went to Lowe's and bought a new lamp to replace the old one completely since the wires were pretty burnt. The lamp was only $15 and he kept the cost within the original estimate of one hour althought the entire process took longer than that. I was very pleased with the experience and will certainly call them again if I have any future electric problems. They were both very pleasant and profesional. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for  honest and responsable electricians.

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.

My tenants bathtub was clogged.  I called handyman guy and Ciro gave me an estimate over the phone.  He came to fix the problem.  Bathtub was unclogged!!!  Very reliable. Stuck to the price that was quoted over the phone. He also helped me with my sink too for a very minimal charge.  I will use him again for any other handyman work that I made need.

I cannot recommend this company enough.I work for a high end medical facility and we had to completely revamp our lighting situation. Frank was the technician sent to do the job and he was such a sweet guy! Very thorough, very knowledgeable, and was able to work with our unique situation. When he came to complete the work after the initial walk through, he brought another technician Jose with him and the both of them together managed to complete 2 days worth of work in just one! They were also discreet and quiet during the hours that we were seeing patients. The cost of the work was extremely reasonable priced, and Frank even ran out to his truck to get a magic eraser to get rid of a scuff that was made on one of our outlets. Can you say attention to detail?!

This is our go-to electrical company :)

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.
