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 Stephen were a pleasure to work with. They arranged an appointment shortly after my call, arrived when promised, and proceeded to fix several electrical problems. They fully explained the pros and cons of several choices about types of lighting for a vanity area and landscape lighting. They really know what they are doing! They finished 3 separate tasks quickly, and, best of all, did not push us to do more than necessary. I recommend them very highly.

I hired them to install recessed LED lighting throughout my rental apartment. Overall the work was satisfactory, but some communication problems soured me somewhat. Care and consideration was lacking at the end of the job - I had issues with the LEDs flickering and not dimming below 50% and the switches not sitting flush. Once they were paid they did not respond, and i had to figure out how to program the LEDs to dim correctly myself. I also had to hire another electrician to properly attach 2 dangling LEDs...again, because they were unresponsive. Literally would have taken them 5 min. Once the job started I felt rushed and like just a number to them. Will be going elsewhere on my next electrician hire.

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!

I bought a cooktop that needed installation. Best Buy came out and was unable to install because of the oven and stove using the same line. I called No Shorts, and was told I could get a same day appointment. Stanley came a few hours later and created a new line, installed the cooktop, took the old one with him, all in under an hour. He was very conversational and pleasant. Very pleased and will definitely recommend. Also, the individual I spoke to on the phone was great.

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 .

Serge came over at the exact time we agreed with. His work is very organize and detailed.
You can't go wrong with him.
The installation of mounting a TV and Sonos Playbar was less than an hour. He brings tools that are necessary for Metal & wood studs and makes his job very clean. His prices are very reasonable I will hire him again if I need some good work on my walls in the future.

Jaime from Fuentes Family Electrical helped me out big time. We were ordering new appliances and needed to coordinate the specs for the machines with the power drops in my house. I was told by the appliance store that I would need to do some electrical work to make it happen.

Jamie made it extremely simple. He was helpful, very personal, interested, super knowledgable, and just nice. He offered to come over and assess the problem by morning, and even to walk me through it on the phone right there.

I actually didn't need his services in the end, but I will be calling for all of my electrical needs in the future.

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.

Excellent work, on time. and minimal mess. I would definitely recommend York to anyone looking for electrical work in their home

Eugene Tapia from Gambi showed up on time for an estimate and ended up solving our problem in a few hours for a very reasonable cost. We had 6 flush ceiling spots in a garden floor apartment that were intermittent or out entirely. He explained why they were malfunctioning, pulled them down carefully, and did the necessary repairs. My only complaint was that he was a little slow in responding to our initial call but we will definitely use him again.

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.

I found Ciro through Yelp and so glad I did! He was quick to respond via Yelp and diagnosed the issue with my sink with a photo and video and able to provide an estimate which was much more reasonable than others. He kept me posted on his timeframe to arrive which I appreciated. He completed the job efficiently and charged me the quoted price. Happy to have found a reliable handyman for the future!

Good news: The electrician who did the walk through and gave the estimate seemed knowledgeable.
Bad news: It took over a week for anyone to come to my apartment and look over the job. The estimate cost $160. While the job was fairly small, the estimate was over $3,000. When I requested an itemized estimate, I was told they were too busy and they don't do that.  They had a take it or leave it attitude towards the estimate. They were very unpleasant on the phone. Their customer service is what you would expect when you tell the person in the subway booth that there are rats on the platform.

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!
