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.

Quick, efficient, super responsive and clean. His crew even put on booties to keep the floor clean. Klodian gave me a quick estimate, came in and did the job seamlessly. Installed ceiling fan, GFI outlet, patched up the wall, and installed a light in the closet. All done seamlessly, picked up after himself, a job well done. Will definitely use again.

We were looking to have recessed lights installed in our apt and had trouble finding a contractor that would meet our coop building's requirements. We were happy to have found Rich through his excellent reviews on Yelp. He was very responsive and communicative in the planning phase, while he and his team were  reliable and completed the project without issue and on time. We would refer and use again Rich and his team for future projects.

Used yelp to contact for a quote and set up appointment. Quote was fair, work was quick and he cleaned up the place as good as new. Highly reccommend.

Mark came into an unknown situation since my regular electrician wasn't available. He was able to work on my completely backward and ancient wiring system pretty easily. I was afraid I would have to have the entire electrical circuit box redone because over half my outlets were no longer functional. He found a way to get everything back up and saved me hundreds of dollars over what I know the guy I usually had gone with would have charged. I really appreciated Mark's attitude and how quickly he got things done. I will be going with him from now on when I need work done.

Gaston did a terrific job for us. We needed an outlet relocated for a new above-range microwave and he did the job professionally and quickly.

When the appliance installers came and decided that they didn't express their desired location properly, Gaston came back and relocated it again at our convenience and considered it a follow-up to the original work. He didn't pull a shady move and charge for a second job. He also worked with our carpenter to help take apart our kitchen cabinets. We understood right away that Gaston puts a higher premium on doing the job correctly than making a short-term profit.

We highly recommend Gaston and Nair Electrical and he'll be our go-to guy for any work we need done in the future.

I just moved to the area and am so glad to have connected with John.  He was super quick to get back to my request and was able to fit me in on the weekend.  He and Mikey came prepared to work, and my light install ended up being a bigger project than we thought in an older co-op building.  Putting a light where there was none is no joke.  They ended up having to come back the next day to finish up, and I couldn't be happier.  They were a pleasure to have in my space, did lovely work, and John says he would even come back to do touch ups on the plaster work.  I'll definitely be calling them for future projects (easier ones I promise!).

Danny is awesome.  Fixed outlets outside and inside that didn't work right, added an outlet to the front of my house, installed a ceiling fan for me.  Honestly, really nice and knows his stuff.  On time and did extra things that I'm sure he didn't anticipate, thanks Danny!

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

I am a co-owner of a 2 family house in Brooklyn. Our house is wacky - with lots of strange wiring from the developers who flipped the house in the cheapest way possible. They made so many strange wiring decisions that have had ramifications for years. We are still uncovering the mess after purchasing the house 14 years ago. Ezrick has been a great resource in helping us figure out how to make things right. He's been thoughtful and clear, sometimes spending hours just trying to figure out how to make the situation right, and most importantly safe. Also, he's extremely fair in his pricing. He always calls ahead, letting me know when he'll be here so I never have to wait around. We've used his services more than 5 times (from installing new fixtures, to fixing old outlets) and are always extremely satisfied. Also, Ezrick is chill. He's very easy to have in your home. And, he has always cleaned up after himself; even when I insist that he doesn't have to. Hire them!

Scott was very communicative and able to come out on short notice, no hoops to jump through. He saw the job through until it was totally fixed and remained available and responsive during a small hiccup with the project.

Would definitely recommend.

Came to install 4 dimmer switches in my new apartment. Responded very quickly and even came the day before Thanksgiving to do it. They were very professional and worked quickly. Prices are comparable to others as well. Highly recommend.

Ilya and Michael were amazing. They responded to my request immediately and came within an hour to install 2 ceiling fans and a chandelier. They were super efficient very polite and professional. Highly recommend them!

I recently hired Don at DLP to install some direct lines and help with some trouble shooting around my house. It's an older home that was re-modeled, so it has some quirks to say the least. Don was able to figure out and fix some spotty work done by previous contractor. I found him to be very honest, fair, and pleasant. He certainly does quality work. I would recommend him to anyone and will have him back for additional work the house still needs.

Sadly, I do not recommend this company for complex jobs. For running wire, they ok. However, if the project involves Sheetrock work or any construction repair, choose another company with the expertise. Their cleanliness and care for their work area is very poor. One room they did, they didn't put down plastic or tarp and as a result, we had to have the hardwood floor done over. One of the more ridiculous issues we had was when we found my son's bed slats in a door frame, because they didn't have the proper materials. There are two other slats, only God knows where they are in our walls. I can go on and on, but to relive this ordeal is quite upsetting. Their only redeeming quality was that they were very nice people. If you choose this company definitely get references and pics.
And if Ganesh claims we're not in his area, I will post the checks and receipts for what work they did.

I highly recommend this company!!! Response was very fast. I booked an appointment right away. Got the job done. No fuss. Great job!!!! Going forward I will definitely be calling them every time I have something I need done in the house.

My wife and I were having problems with a low-voltage track lighting system that was over twenty years old and no longer manufactured.  Avi was terrifically helpful in accommodating to our schedule and getting someone out to assess the issue as quickly as possible.  Gerry was on time, professional and extraordinarily helpful.  More specifically, he patiently diagnosed the problem and ingeniously found a way to rewire the failing track segment thereby bringing it back to life.  All the while, he was a gentle, easy presence in our apartment (and tolerated the occasional interference from our three cats with good humor).  Not if -- but when given its age -- our lighting fails again we will not hesitate to contact Electrific, just as we would for any other electrical problem we might encounter.  All of which is to say, we can't recommend them more highly.

Katie helped me install a pendant light--I'm too nervous to do electrical stuff! Great pricing, communicative, and kind. I would definitely work with Handyma'am again if I need help with anything. Thank you!

We needed 2 bedroom ceiling fans to be changed to different frequencies.  My bro called one electrician who was 2 hours late to the appointment and he spent 20 min dissembling the fan before he pointed out that we need to change the circuit breakers and need to replace ceiling boxes as the weight of the fan was too heavy for the boxes.  His suggestion was to make a bigger fuse box panel as there were too many high end appliances attached to the itty bitty fuse box.  He expected a whole day to get someone to bigger hole in the cement wall and get his guys to help with rewiring the fans.  His total was about 5K but he was going to give a $400 discount like he was doing us a favor.  The only two things he did was remove the ceiling fan and turn the switch to the remote.

We wanted to get a second opinion and came across Cooper Electrical Services.  Thank Goodness for Roman and Victor who were extremely friendly and professional and throughout the whole process knew what was going on.  The moment they came in they examined the fuse box and the complicated wiring of the ceiling fan.  They got right into identifying the problem and work on it very diligently.  They were patient in placing the complicated fan back to the ceiling and took the time to explain everything that was done with their work.  

Awesome job and thank you so much!!

I have no words for this company, I am speechless. Never in my life have I ever hired a company to be so professional and organized!!! I would never let anyone else touch my Electricity in my house. 10 stars !!! From day 1 I knew I was in great hands from the price and service...... please hire only gladiator and trust me this is a real message
