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 are excellent.  They've flawlessly worked on two projects for me and display expert workmanship, great communication, and fair pricing.  I have called on them again and again for work on my home and have never regretted it.  Highly recommended!

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!

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.

I needed some electrical work done for my kitchen in jersey city, and had no idea who to go with. I went with Xpert Electric, and very glad I did so. Xavier came out to take a look at my place, and gave me a fair quote. The guys showed up promptly, and were very professional and nice. The knowledge of the electricians are impressive. Xavier was very responsive, nice, and respectful. The work done is even more impressive. Great company, and great group of guys. Highly recommend this company.

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.

Alex was the only one able/willing to come same day (Sunday).  He diagnosed and fixed our washing machine very quickly.  Very happy with the service, would call him again for any future appliance repairs.

Tommy, one of the owner's sons is a great electrician and all around nice guy.  For someone like me who is both not handy and scared of electricity, he took the time to explain to me why something wouldn't work but found amazing solutions to get what I wanted.  Great kid from clearly a great family run business.  Highly recommend them.

They came on time, called before arriving, worked quickly and did a great job. They were extremely courteous and professional, and the price was right. Highly recommended!

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.

I started discussing the project I had with Ciro back in April. I needed someone to add mesh to the bottom of my fence line to deal with rats coming from neighboring yards.  This required digging up a garden and trying to preserve the 70 year old plants along the fence line. He took a look at the job and gave a very reasonable price.  Ciro did the work in one day, came on time, prepared with his own tools and left the job site in a clean fashion (and he provided me with a receipt).  A true professional.   Brooklyn is in the need of a good handyman and I think they found one.  I look forward to using Ciro again in 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.

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.
