Best Businesses in New York

I was very favorably impressed with Mike Hitchingham. For starters, he actually responded to my request a quote inquiry on Yelp within a day! I responded to his message by calling him, and described the problem over the phone.  He asked some clarifying questions, and agreed that I was probably right (I suspected a 110V outlet was receiving 220V power). There were only 6 YELP reviews and I generally like to see more reviews before selecting a vendor, but his courteous, open manner and willingness to take a little time on the phone convinced me that he was the right guy to look at this. He stopped by within a day or two when he was on the UWS to check it out. He confirmed the problem in a brief visit, and said he'd return on Sunday to fix the problem. Then he actually returned on Sunday, and fixed the problem! His price was fair, and I was happy to pay his invoice. I've given his name and number to the guy across the hall, and to a friend who lives 6 blocks away. I found him to be straightforward, direct, honest, and willing to answer questions and educate me. He kept in touch re scheduling, and was responsive. I'd hire Mike again in a second!

My best experience ever with an electric company. Very fast response and service: arrived within 30 minutes, left within 30 minutes. Klod (the owner, J believe) was very clear on pricing, which was very fair, and professional, explaining and showing me everything he was doing. He fixed not only the problem in my home office I initially hired him for, but also another problem in the kitchen that I had him look at since he fixed the first problem so quickly.

We hired Richie and his guys to install lights in the living room ceiling as well as a ceiling fan. When I called to schedule an estimate, Richie picked up and scheduled it for the next day. He arrived on time, and when we told him that what we were planning for the space, he offered suggestions. We had thought we'd need 6-8 lights for the space, but he said that'd be too bright if using LED lights. He could have easily installed them all and made the extra money, but he was honest about what was needed and cared more about it looking right and us being happy with the results. This was one of the main reasons we hired him over the other company we got an estimate from.

Once we called to hire him, we were able to schedule the work for the next week. He started the job, doing the measuring himself, and then his guys Devon and Johnny did most of the work. The guys were super friendly; my 5yr old loved talking with them and was upset when they were done bc he wouldn't see them again. All of them followed COVID protocols, always wearing their masks. Other than a short lunch break, they worked straight through each day and cleaned up before leaving at night.

Initially, the ceiling fan posed a problem. We had ordered an expensive fan from Wayfair that had good reviews for being quiet. However, once installed, it was making a whopping sound. Moreover, it wasn't sitting right, swaying slightly with the blades. Devon tried various tactics to get it to sit right and not make noise. It was getting late, passed the time they should have left, but they stayed to work through the problem. We were on the verge of contacting Wayfair to return it, when Devon figured out that because the ceiling was uneven, there was a small gap between the fan and the ceiling. He figured out a solution, and now the fan sits flush against the ceiling, doesn't sway and is virtually silent. They really went above and beyond.

Finally, they sent in Charlie Herrera to patch up the holes. This was another reason we hired these guys over the other company: because they had someone to patch up and paint before final payment was due. Charlie was great. He showed up on time and did the work quickly. He even patched up a few cracks in our plaster that wasn't part of the job. Before leaving, his worker was on the floor with a wet rag, wiping up the dust. We ended up hiring him to come back and paint the whole place, and we are so pleased with the results. (Charlie: charliewoodflooring@aol.…, 718.909.8289)

Richie had estimated 2-3 days to complete the job, and they were done in 3. They were a pleasure to do business with, and we love their results. We recommend them in the highest possible regards.

I reached out to Mikhail for a quote because he had so many positive reviews. He came to my home for a free estimate and decided to hire him based on his reasonable quote. He finished the job (replaced electrical panel, added lines, replaced GFCI outlets) in two days and cleaned up after himself. I was very satisfied with his work, and would gladly hire him again if I need any other electrical work done.

Mark saved our Thanksgiving!

My husband and I just moved into our apartment and for the first time, hosting Thanksgiving for our families. Two days ago, the lights underneath our kitchen counter that we turn on to prepare and cook food went off. Total darkness in the kitchen. My husband, the electrical engineer, tried new bulbs, restarting the fuze, etc, but nothing worked. I called NYC Electricians after reading their glowing reviews, and they surpassed my high expectations. Mark came on time, and got to the root of the problem - the transformers - within the first few minutes. He spent about an hour with us, and voila - then there was light!

Mark also gave us some recommendations as to a new light switch (we live in a pre-ware apartment and everything is very old). We are very happy to have found NYC Electricians and would highly recommend Mark.

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.

John is very professional and experienced.  I had a few lights that were not working and he was able to assess the problem which was an easy fix.  I inquired about fixing these lights with another company and they automatically told me that I would need to tear down my ceiling and have everything rewired (before they came to assess the problem in person).  John also installed my chandelier.  Great guy, he gets the job done!

Great guys and great work. They came by and gave us a free estimate about two months ago. The estimate took about an hour and no charge. They were upfront about scheduling right now because they are very busy but said they would squeeze in an hour here and there to get it done. Between 2 visits, it took an hour and a half and the work was completed. Great pricing and great work. I'm so happy! No damage done at all in the process due to the care that was taken with rewiring. Would definitely recommend!

Came same day to repair breakers, was fast and responsive. Chris did a great job and I will hire him again!

Don't recommend. He was like you didn't pay me from three years ago. I said why didn't you say anything? Nothing. Slightly aggressive and annoying. I would hire someone else.

04/18/2023. Just tried to call them. No one answers. Then gets sent to voicemail
which saysMailbox full, cannot leave a message. This is just the type of company I'm looking for. I THINK NOT

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 !

I called this guy several times before he finally called me back. He sounded like he was in a hurry and asked what did I need repaired. When I started to tell him he abruptly interrupted me and ask did I have any electrical work. I told him no and he shoved me off to another guy. Didn't even wait for the number he was giving me and hung up. I'm not a rude guy and didn't come off rude to this guy. It doesn't me I have to accept him being rude to me though.

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.

Ajay from G & R completed a job for me yesterday. He was professional and

accommodating. I had a new dishwasher installed that was sticking out

considerably due to the wiring behind it. He relocated the electrical box

and wiring.  I am completely pleased with the job that was done.

Would definitely use them again.

I had a broken light fitting and was unable to turn it off. He gave me an estimate, arrived on schedule, and charged exactly what was quoted even though  he had to go to a local hardware store to get an extra part. Would definitely use him again.

The Electrific team was courteous, professional, and they got back to me when other electricians I contacted wouldn't return my calls! I used them to do electrical repairs and to install a new outlet behind my washer/dryer unit and they were fantastic. Would highly recommend them and I will be using their services again.

What wonderful things can't I say about Katie?! So prompt and efficient and got right down to business! We had a great chat with her while she took care of our very old and falling apart sofa. She gave us options as to what she could do to fix the problem, including any additional costs or time frame. She has a plethora of skills and I'm eager to utilize her skills again with other home repair projects. She is comfortable and friendly but wonderfully professional and quick too. Her skill set is very advanced and I trust her willingness and ability to attempt any repair, or give you her honest opinion as to what will/won't work. I would recommend her to anyone and it is honestly refreshing to have a wonderfully talented woman completing these tasks in our home. We'll see you soon Katie!

Not too impressed so far.  Keep calling to get an appointment.  Person who answers the phone keeps saying he needs to check his schedule, will get back to me, never does.   Not an auspicious beginning or a high level of comfort that work product will be quality.  Moving on.

Mike and his team did an excellent job. He was extremely responsive and walked us through everything that was required for the job. His team upgraded our panel to 200amp service, installed two flood lights, two timed lights above our garage doors and an exterior outlet. The prices were more than fair and we will be using them for work in the future. We highly recommend using Gladiator Electric!
