Best Businesses in New York

I have used Mike Hitchingham a few times, most recently to come into our apartment while we were away for several weeks to replace some under-the-cabinet lighting fixtures.  We did all correspondence by email including selecting the new fixtures (with some solid advice from Mike), getting a quotation, providing a down payment (to purchase the fixtures), and arrange with the building doorman to let Mike it.  We returned from our summer holiday this week, and the new fixtures were perfect -- brighter and better than before.  My only disappointment was that I did not have him replace all the similar lighting in the kitchen.  Nothing was out of place, all old fixtures, new boxes, etc. were left behind (neatly) so that we could verify the work, and the final bill came out far less than the quote.  Mike is 100% reliable and trustworthy; I could not recommend his work more highly.

Ive used these guys for more than one project and EVERY TIME they are reliable, quick, clean, friendly and very thorough. They are amazing and they charge a fair price as well.

Richard just did an electrical job for me. He is professional, clean and did a great job. He was very easy to work with. I definately recommend him!!

We had a perfect experience working with Mickhael. We had a switch that was not working and he was able to come same day. The problem wound up being significantly more complex than anticipated, as the previous owners had made numerous changes to the electrical during a re-model that made finding the source of the issue very difficult. Despite the extra work, Mickhael honored his original price. He also cleaned up everything immaculately afterwards and our lights now work perfectly. Highly professional and would absolutely recommend.

Update: I had another issue with wiring and called them again. Mark came over promptly and fixed it for FREE! That's right. I was not charged for the follow up visit or any work that ensued. This company is ethical and professional. I highly recommend them.

I had a some small electrical problems I had been putting off.  But when all the lights went out in the bathroom, it was time to do something.
I called Gaston because he was close, and I knew the travel time would be short.  He got there in fifteen minutes, and this is without it being an emergency!
He fixed the bathroom and the other things that weren't working.  He was quick, professional, and friendly.  That's a really pleasant combination.
I feel lucky that I called Nair.

Can't say enough. Came in to install kitchen cabinet lights and went through a few diff. Options on how to get it done. We decided on a way I was comfortable with. Would call on again. On time, professional, friendly and knowledgeable.

Danny was extremely prompt and professional replacing my 3 way switches in the kitchen for my high hat lights.
The price was very reasonable and included 2 switches plus labor.
I would definitely recommend hiring him for any electric work needed in a house.

We needed a new breaker box, as ours was falling apart. CS came by to give me a quote and checked out the electrical in the whole apartment. I thought I might have to rewire the whole place, but they told me that after they swapped out the box that it would probably fix our issues. They steered me away of spending money I didn't need to spend, when they could have easily told me I needed to do more work. They came in, put in the new box, left the apartment cleaner than it was, and were super nice the whole time. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Rick is excellent. Just had him swap out three lights for less expensive fixtures. Showed up on time, worked quickly and neatly and had a fair price. Highly recommend.

First off when you deal with CEL Electric, you're dealing with the owner of the company not just another employee. Scott has done several projects in our 120 year old brownstone and these are not simple or straightforward jobs. The building's wiring is original and needs to be handled with great care and that's exactly what we've experienced on each job he handled for us. His electrical work is first-rate and he is meticulous working with outlets and switches on old, dry plaster walls and fans on ornate ceilings and that's something often overlooked with electricians. Each and every time I've called, he's been super responsive and we've had no qualms with his quotes. No reason to even think about using anyone else and that's a great feeling.

After reading the reviews,  I called this number and Yoni responded and came the next day right on time to look up my broken outlet. He quickly checked everything and found the main issue was that the circuit breaker was burned due to overuse of electricity.  He left to buy a new part and replaced it the same morning and then it works again.  The whole process end to end took about an hour. It was quick and neat.

Excellent work, very courteous, professional, knowledgeable, great attention to details, very easy to communicate with. Will definitely recommend to my friends and family!

Don is my electrician. After doing my research and seeing all of the positive reviews, I asked Don to come by and quote me for a few projects around my house back in 2020.

He was consultative, clear, transparent and what I believed to be, fair with his pricing.

Being the relationship-focused business owner that he is, he's worked on multiple projects since.

I went on Angi to find someone to install a ground fault outlet, as it didn't work when I installed it.  Ganesh called at 3:00 to say they had a guy, Omish, in Manhattan that day, and he would be coming that afternoon. At 3:43 he was at the front door of the building, and called to ask what apartment we were in. He was very pleasant, and unscrewed the wires to the outlet box, replaced them with wires he had with him, installed the outlet box that I had purchased, and was done in 15 minutes. He did not give me an estimate before he did the work. He computed the cost, and told me it would be $336.00 if I paid in cash, because there would be no tax, and if I paid with a credit card, he would have to add tax and a 5% surcharge for the credit card. At 4:09, I was at the ATM around the corner, getting cash to pay him --$340.00 because he didn't have any change. He said he would email me the receipt. He did not. I called the office twice over the week to request a receipt. It never came, and I felt I was ripped off.

I needed a quick response for a water leak, and Eugene was super responsive! I had him come back a week later for some drywall patching and painting, and again he was excellent. He is a great handyman to have around!

Lights in house were flickering, completely shutting off and on. Called in the morning and received a helpful tech within a few hours. Was able to change a switch and figured out what was causing the flickering. Nothing on our end and more of ConEdison, but they helped get in contact with ConEdison to make sure a service ticket was in place and on their way. Thanks again!

Katie is amazing! I called her to help with fixing a slide-out cabinet that had come off its track, and that was not staying shut properly, as well as replacing some floor trim that had been removed when I had a new dishwasher installed. As the scheduled date approached, I kept realizing all these other things I'd need fixed! Katie told me to make a list, and when she arrived, she knocked out every item on my list, even late-breaking ones! When she didn't think one solution would work to solve a problem, she came up with another. Katie clearly has tremendous expertise, but she also was great at thinking creatively, even for tasks I hadn't told her about in advance. She was totally transparent about pricing, which I appreciated, and still got the additional tasks done in the estimated amount of time. Beyond that, she is super friendly, and someone I felt so comfortable having in my home. I've recommended Katie to other friends who have all had as excellent of an experience as I did. This might sound weird but, next time something in my apartment goes awry, I'll feel relieved that I know I can call Katie!

Roman was very professional and very nice. He was able to handle installing a new smart light switch with ease. Highly recommend.

Professional and responsive and efficient. The team installed my Tesla charger at a reasonable price. Highly recommended.
