Best Businesses in New York

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!

Have hired Jason and Stephen several times--these guys are fantastic. Good people and good electricians. They know what they are doing and they do it well, quickly, efficiently and with zero drama.

Pricing is fair and transparent. Scheduling is straightforward. And I really appreciate that they always try to understand the job in detail when I call them and before they show up. If it's something that requires some pre-planning / pre-work, they'll tell you--saves time and money. Once on the job, they communicate very well how long certain things will take and whether something is worth doing or not. Again, saves me time and money.

Easily among the best contractors I've dealt with.

These guys were fantastic.  Even though they were a bit late, the work they did more than makes up for it.

They were very professional and friendly, and were able to quickly find the issue.  When they had to run to home depot to buy a part, they explained to us why they needed it in a way that was easy to understand.  The price they charged was fair.

I very highly recommend these guys for any electrical work.  If I need anything else in the future I will definitely be giving them a call.

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!

No Shorts Electric completely knocked it out of the park! They updated our 50's-era electrical panel to a modern, 200-amp system for our 2-family house. Now the house is finally ready for the 21st century! Estimates are free and -- this is important -- comprehensive. I knew there wouldn't be any surprises when it was time for payment, which was the main reason I picked them over a rival firm.

Equally important, everyone, from Mike (the estimator) to Dominick and Nick (the work crew) was super friendly, respectful,  and totally professional. The minute Dominick looked me square in the eye and shook my hand when they got here, I knew I had made a great choice. I am already planning to call on them for the next phase of work.

We highly recommend Xavier and his team. After some horrible experiences with prior electricians, Xavier has become our go to electritian. He is a family man who is responsive, dependable, skilled, fair and reasonably priced.

Serge was very efficient and honest. He came on time around 10 a.m. and left his tools and the ladder after seeing the wall heights. We have 12 ft walls so he needed a tall ladder. He returned after 45 mins as there is no free parking near our Condominium and he had to park almost 7/8 blocks away. He put up all the paintings as well as the Zebra skin on the wall properly. We were delighted with his work. He didn't waste any time even though he was working on an hourly basis. He also started his time after parking the car.

I certainly recommend him highly for any installation job.

We called this company based on Yelp reviews in a pinch when the old chandelier in our new house caught fire at 7:30 pm on a weekday. No kidding. We looked at 24-hour electricians with five-star reviews and Fuentes was one of them. I called, Jamie answered, I told him the issue and that I wanted the chandelier removed tonight and to go to sleep knowing there wasn't a wiring issue I needed to worry about overnight. He gave me a reasonable price to come over and diagnose the problem and said it would cost a bit more to install a new light and dimmer (once he got here and he figured out what the problem was). He was prompt, knowledgeable, friendly, and informative. We will definitely call again! Highly recommended.

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.

We lost power on Christmas Day. After ConEdison was unable to resolve the issue, Dennis and team came to help us on short notice, with great responsiveness and courtesy. For a very reasonable price, York fixed our problem quickly and efficiently. So appreciative of their time and professionalism. Strongly recommend!!!

Apparently they don't need anyone's business.
We called last weekends and then several times a day most of last week.  We wanted to have them look at 4 ceiling fans.  They finally called a week alter and told us to file a complaint with the fan manufacturer...  I'm sorry but 7 years after installation I need a repair person NOT to sue the manufacturer over burnt out switches. Clearly they don't want to work... or answer the phon

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.

Called Ciro for a very dangerous situation.  I had a rotted window frame with the pane suspended only by the bottom corner.  The bottom of the frame was leaning against the air conditioner.  At any time, the pane could have fallen out of the frame.

Ciro responded very quickly.  He came and gave me a reasonable estimate and completed this job and another issue.  He was on time and very professional.

Thank you very much Ciro for your quick attention.

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 :)

Avoid at all costs.  I asked the guy (Jeff Brausewetter) to install a 220v outlet for a new dryer and he said he needed to put in a new breaker box.  I paid for it, and he came and installed it; he told me he was almost done but just needed to get the part for the outlet.  Then he stopped answering the phone or replying to my texts.  Finally he replied saying that he had been locked out of his phone and would sort me out, but after that he became unresponsive at the new number too.  Finally I had another electrician out (Riviera Electric, recommended).  He explained that (i) Jeff's breaker box was completely useless, and (ii) he hadn't actually done anything except for screwing the box onto the wall - no wiring or anything.  So, I'm out over $300 with nothing to show for it except for a useless breaker box that I'm going to have to throw away.  BEWARE!
