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!

Jason and his team were amazing. I had many questions for Jason about feasibility of doing certain projects and he answered every single question I had.  When I was ready to have work done, his team showed up on time and were super friendly and knowledgeable. I will definitely be using them again for any work around the house.

Really happy with Malfettone. I found them via review sites (yelp and google). I needed some minor electrical problems that were picked up during a house inspection in order to proceed with the sale. They read through the report and were over in less than 24 hours where there to fix it! Amazing.

When I looked at their portfolio of work, it seemed like they do much more larger projects. So I was a bit worried they would not prioritize my piddly little issues like rewiring outlets, but they did!

Also, I read through the negative reviews and I didn't experience their complaints (with was lack of communication). They always answered a call or returned it within a half hour. Same with email, texts and invoicing. Absolutely no problems there, I found them incredibly responsive and quick. Would def recommend to people.

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!

They appeared to be responsive in getting to our home for the quote.  The father, who is the main expert in this family-run business, spent time with us and explained our options.  He said he would email us the quote within 48 hours.  He left and we never heard from him again.  Why waste our time and his - come to that.  If he decided he did not want to even give us a quote or not do the work, just say so there and then or even after the fact.  This is the first contractor to walk away from a possibly client-costly  / money-making job.

Xpert Electric was Very professional . I needed them to look into an electrical issue we had and they were able to diagnose the issue right away and able to fix the problem . The pricing was very reasonable . I would recommend them for all electrical issues .

I highly recommend Serge to anyone looking for his services! I needed my TV mounted, and he not only responded right away, but made the process seamless for me. I messaged him on a Saturday and had my installation on Tuesday.
After he mounted the TV and left, I realized I actually wanted it to be lower. I messaged Serge and he came back right away! He re-mounted the TV to my satisfaction and I'm left with a great viewing experience.
He also gave me some tips for shelving and lighting that I could install, so I may be giving him a call in the future!

Jaime did a great job installing our ceiling fans.  He was very responsive from the first call, coming over same-day to assess the job.  Weekend hours and quick to respond, worked with us to find a reasonable price.

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 needed a dedicated line installed for a new refrigerator and new wiring for our central air conditioner. Daniel and his guys did such an incredible job that we had them come back to set up our new outdoor lighting. They are very professional, efficient and respectful of property. Everything was cleaned up; no mess was found anywhere. The new lights were done to our exact specifications; we couldn't be happier. If you need electrical work done, they are the guys to call.

I called Gambi based on the high recommendations on this site, but it has turned out to be a nightmare.

Eugene came in a timely manner to repair two exterior lights that weren't working correctly, meaning the lights would come on sometimes with the timer, sometimes not, and sometimes flicker. He said I needed a new timer for one, which he purchased and I reimbursed him for. He and his assistant tried for some time to program the timer, but did a poor job of it and the light would go on some days, not on others. I ultimately programmed it myself and it works ok.

The other fixture he allegedly fixed continued to blow out bulbs. I replaced the bulbs myself several times, but figured there must be a problem with the fixture so I called him to come back. (To his credit, Eugene answers his phone and comes when he says he will.) Eugene came back on two more occasions to rectify the problem, but he just changed bulbs, which would blow out several days after he changed them. On his last visit, he accused me of just wanting him to change bulbs, which was highly insulting as well as incorrect. I have better things to do with my time than to schedule someone to come change lightbulbs, and the fact is that had he done his job correctly the first time, he wouldn't have had to return.

I've owned this house for 12 years and know that changing exterior fixture bulbs is not a weekly chore. In the past I've had contractors who, when faced with a job outside of their competency level, would have the integrity to admit as much. This job was obviously over Eugene's head, but that didn't stop him from wasting my time and money.

Save yourself the headache. Don't use Gambi.

Rob Ferrito owns the company. Extremely professional in a world where contractors are no longer professional. He'll come at the agreed time, finish on the agreed finish date, and clean up behind him. He is a Professional Electrician. I could not recommend another electrician more highly. However, the service and reputation will cost you. His employees are as professional as he. You want an cheap price, call another electrician. You want an excellent job, call him.

My tenants bathtub was clogged.  I called handyman guy and Ciro gave me an estimate over the phone.  He came to fix the problem.  Bathtub was unclogged!!!  Very reliable. Stuck to the price that was quoted over the phone. He also helped me with my sink too for a very minimal charge.  I will use him again for any other handyman work that I made need.

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 :)

Frontier responded to my message through the Yelp messaging system.

I called and they sent out an electrician very quickly.

Jeff diagnosed the problems, and acquired and installec the replacement parts needed.

Jeff also made some very helpful suggestions which are much appreciated.

I Highly Recommended Frontier for fast, efficient, and friendly service.
