Best Businesses in New York

Professional, fast, efficient, and overall a genuine dude, I couldn't have asked for a better electrician. I've been through a fair share of electricians in NYC and these guys seemed to be all the same. They all carried disgruntled, rude attitudes while also overcharging, many didn't even do a satisfactory job. Overall I never had any positive experiences with electricians until I found Hitch. Everything about him reassured me that he was going to do a great job without ripping me off, and especially I felt comfortable around the guy. When he came to replace my breaker panel, not only was his work quick and excellent, on top of that he even fixed my broken intercom, free of charge! This guy is simply awesome and I recommend him to everyone. I'm just so glad I was able to find the #1 electrician in New York!

I had an issue with a chandelier with a slightly unique design not operating properly. I found Titanium after reading their positive reviews, and I was not disappointed. They are extremely professional, courteous and responsive, all for good value. It took a few times but the issue was resolved, and Klod was very understanding and accommodative as we worked through the issue. He is very professional and runs a good operation.

I highly recommend anyone with an electrical issue to call them.

After searching at length for a great Electrician to work with, I found Rich and his team. Rich was responsive and prompt with arranging a time to come, assess the job, and provide an estimate. Devin did the actual installation of lighting in my living room. His work is impeccable and quite perfect. His attention to detail is admirable. Don't even question using this company, just do it! Highly, highly recommend!

So grateful for Yelp leading me to Mickhael. I needing someone to properly install my air conditioner because I failed. He responded more quickly than anyone else, was communicative the whole time so I knew exactly when he was coming, did the job quickly and pleasantly. I feel so much more secure knowing my ac was professionally installed. Would definitely contact him again for handy work needs.

Mark was very professional and took care of the job right away. He was reliable and in no time we had electricity and everything was fixed. He was nice and understanding as well. NYC Electricians are number 1!

He quoted us one price ($350) and then the next day charged double for the work.  Would not recommend.  So completely unacceptable.

Very happy with the work that was done. Installed over range microwave outlet. On time quick response time, and unreasonably price. Will work with them again.

Danny was a pleasure to work with! He responded to my inquiry immediately and was flexible with our schedule. He brought all that was needed, swapped out a new light fixture and was ready to address any additional issues (gaps, new switches, etc.) and installed a dimmer switch seamlessly. Did the entire job in less than 40 mins, and the icing on the cake was how kind he was to my large, loud, but lovely pup. We will definitely call on Danny for our needs moving forward. Thank you!!

Quick to respond and set up time with me! I needed a burned out outlet replaced and they came by a day or two later. Pricing was slightly higher than with others I reached out to but not too much. Would work with them again. Thanks!

This guy is incredibly unprofessional and likely hoping you are uninformed so he can overcharge you. I called him asking for a quote - he then called me back, and I asked where he was calling from. He refused to answer the question and asked if I was getting other quotes as well. I said yes, obviously, as everyone should be - and then he abruptly hung up. He then did not answer any of my calls. The positive reviews, I'm guessing, are not real.

Hi, I have to say,
CEL was a lifesaver.
We had 2 prior Electricians look/work on our home, and they left it worse for the wear. CEL was referred to us, and they came through spectacularly.
They replaced our panel ,added outlets and fixed our lights.
I will recommend  this company to anyone who needs Electrical help , when all others have failed

I messaged Yoni regarding the problems I was facing in my home. He responded very quickly and set up an appointment the next day. When he arrived he assessed the problem and thoroughly explained what the problem is, and what needs to he done. He did not beat around the bus and told me what needs to be done and how much it will cost. I am very happy with the service he provided and I absolutely recommend him to anyone experiencing electrical problems. The service he provides is of great quality and prices are fair. He surely knows what he is doing in this field and is not out to squeeze your wallet. Thanks Yoni !

We wanted to split the electric between two rooms in our company's basement between two switches to save on electricity costs.

When we called Ilin Ilya due to all of the good reviews on Yelp, there were no expectations since he's all the way out in Brooklyn. He called us back quickly and offered to come over on his lunch from another job in the area. It took him twenty minutes to look around the basement and figure out the job, very professional, and got back to us with two quotes for doing the job two different ways that very night.

By the time we were ready to proceed, we talked about when he was available next and he ended up actually being able to come in two weeks before we had agreed upon which worked out great for us. Actually showed up early for the job and very professionally was able to get the job done in less than an hour, made as small an impact as possible (very small holes in our walls), cleaned up after himself, and charged exactly what we had been quoted.

There is very little that is black and white in this world, but I don't think you could do better than Ilin when it comes to electric work. Prompt, professional, and easy.

We called Donald in to inspect a home for us. He was available the next day,gave us an estimate and came in and did a great job ASAP. He was responsive to my calls and texts. His pricing is fair and his work was excellent. I definitely recommend him and I would definitely call him back.

Wow--the technicians from G&R completely blew me away with their punctuality, professionalism and knowledge of their work. What I thought would be such an electrical headache turned out to be taken off my shoulders and fixed in a breeze. I recommend this company to anyone who's looking for electrical work done and has been burned by unprofessional, unreliable companies in the past. They came into my home, at the time they specified, with covers on their shoes (a pet peeve of mine is when service providers stomp around in my shoe-free home) and provided me with a clear and concise work estimate. They didn't just hand me a piece of paper and leave me to decipher it myself, but took the time to explain what needed to be done and WHY, and what materials and time it would entail. I could tell that safety was their number one priority throughout. As a mom of two little ones, I appreciated the sense of care and caution. When all was said and done, the owner himself called me a few days later and asked if I had any further questions or issues. I had none, and appreciated that extra touch. Kudos, G&R, I have already recommended you guys to my friends, family and coworkers, and you have a repeat customer right here for life!

I want to warn folks thinking of hiring Zabivay for plumbing handy work. Here's the summary:
* hired Zabivay to install drain systems on 2 ikea sinks. The agreement was to install the drain systems so the vanity drawers would close.
* He said he had done this many times and was no problem. We were away and had another
 contractor install the sink and vanity. We were not able to see the final, completed work.
* He charged me $540 for this work.
* We immediately rented out the apartment for 2 months and did not hear complaints from the
 renters. After they moved out and we walked through, we saw the problems.
* I contacted Zabivay about the work and he was not willing to correct the work.
* I had to hire another handyman, who did excellent work (Dave, at Elegant Design) to fix this
 work. He explained this was plumbing 101:
 - buy a longer pipes so the drain system would be farther back, so the drawers would close
 - this was not $540 worth of labor.

I've attached photos of Zabivay's work and Dave's corrected work, as well as my email conversation with Zabivay to show our communication and Zabivay's willingness to correct his work.

For plumbing handywork, I would not recommend Zabivay. Call Dave, he does great work and charges fairly.

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!

I'm psyched about finding Handyma'am. We needed quick help with our dining room table just a few days before hosting seder. She came to assess Tuesday, and promptly returned Thursday (was willing to come back Wed, but I wasn't available). She'd made multiple parts to fill in for the missing piece. She was calm, steady, happy to chat about what she was doing and explain (since I like to learn as much as I can in situations like this). As she was working on the table, she came across something else to fix and happily did it.

Katie's amazing at what she does and a clear communicator. What more can you ask for?

I highly recommend Cooper!!! I had a fixture stuck to my ceiling (literally would not budge). Within 24 hours Cooper was at my apartment with a real pro!! The electrician sent was able to take apart another fixture in my apartment (similar to the problem fixture) to then figure out how to get the original  one to move ... so a bulb could finally be changed. No damage to the ceiling or fixture.
All around Great Service!!!

I met Mike a few years ago when I went on some website and requested a free estimate for some electrical work and Mike was the first one to respond promptly the next morning.  I described the work and he quoted and I went with him.  He was reasonably priced and did the job perfectly and I gave his name out and 2 of my friends from town have used him and have been very satisfied with the work.  I recently needed some more electrical work done on the outside of my house mostly and Mike and his crew showed up on time and completed all the tasks wonderfully.  They were prompt, experienced, polite, trustworthy (I have no problem leaving any of them in my house even if I wasn't there as the same crew has been to my house many times now) and Gladiator Electric is very reasonably priced.  I really thought the prices were quite fair for the work which needed to be done.  Mike also made suggestions to me like installing lights outside which can be turned on by a button on or in my house and also controlled from my cell phone (I love the cell phone app - very convenient!!).  They even worked recently outside all day in very, very cold and windy weather and I had another person for a different kind of job cancel because his workers didn't show because they thought it was too cold to work all day outside.  I'm giving Gladiator 5 stars because I really think they deserve it - prompt, fair pricing, very competent, they think outside the box by making suggestions of new products and solutions to problems and they take the small jobs along with the big ones (they showed up asap and fixed a small electrical issue with my outdoor fountain).  Daryl W.
