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!

Did install ev car charger. Nice job. Responsive. Priced right. I would highly recommend.

No clue how this guy got all 5-star reviews until now. I own an apartment in NYC, but I live in California so it can be a challenge when certain problems arise for my tenant. I have what appears to be an electrical issue (from what I can deduce from across the country), and we called Mike Malfettone not once but twice and also paged him. After nearly two weeks, we still have not heard a thing back from him--not even a courtesy call to say he can't take the job. Not impressed!

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!

We called No Shorts to come upgrade our electrical panel and they did a great job! We originally expected to have our electricity off for about 8 hours, but it only ended up being about 5 hours. They were professional and clean and did a great job!

I usually don't leave negative feedback, but I think this company is trying to take advantage of victims of Hurricane Ida. We were hit hard with 4+ feet of water in the basement. Xpert Electric was really responsive and sent someone quickly to do an assessment which cost $159. Then once the sheetrock was ripped up they came to do a second assessment for another $70. Finally to redo the wiring in our basement, they gave me an estimate that seemed ridiculous. Even though I needed power immediately I told them I needed a day to think about it. I researched online and the price was way out of line. I believe they assumed our insurance is paying and jacked up the price (like most people affected insurance isn't paying anything).

I contacted another local electric company that had great reviews on Yelp and Facebook groups: Grounded Electric. They gave a free assessment and their final cost is not even one third the cost of Xpert Electric.

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.

VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.  
Okay - here's the story.  I have this annoying chandelier that keeps crazily lighting on fire and blowing out.  But I love it and so I had it fixed a couple of times at my old place and even took it with me when I moved.  Fast forward to Prospect Heights....same old, same old: my light starts doing it's crazy stuff, light bulbs start blowing out, children and adults alike in the house are scared.  

I decide to check out Yelp for electrician reviews in my new hood.  Gambi has great ones so I decide to give them a try.  I call at 9am, by 9:30am, I have a returned call and by 10am Eugene is here fixing my light.  He tells me it has to go with him to the hospital and I figure I'll be without it for at least a week.  Nope - he says it will be back in two hours and it is.  He installs it, all of the lights work again and I am a satisfied customer.  

But then.....
an hour later, I am upstairs and I hear a huge crash.  I come down to see that one of the big crystal balls around the lights has fallen and shattered.  Glass is everywhere and the light is ruined.  It's after 5pm (of course), but I call and leave a message.  Five minutes later my call is returned.  10 mins later, Eugene is back.  He then proceeds to spend TWO PLUS HOURS sweeping and vacuuming and all kinds of crazy clean up for the incredible mess.  And then without my saying anything, he proceeds to make arrangements for how to replace the globe that has shattered (which I later found out was no easy feat and I know it cost a bundle).  He got the globe quickly and replaced it right away.  

When I effusively thanked him for customer service unlike what I usually get, he said that his work is good quality so this almost never happens, but when it does, this is what he does because it's what should be done.  Amazing.  Too bad it's so not the norm.  

oh and...
1) the issue was not his fault -- the light had been faultily repaired (he showed me - it was super bootleg) by the previous handyman that I had come
2) several weeks later and no issues with the light
3) not one piece of glass.  NOT ONE.  we all know how hard that is, right?  there must have been two million shards and I have toddlers...and bare feet so I was super grateful.

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.

Friendly, reliable, and responsive handyman. He got the work done efficiently and we are very happy with the quality of work! He has already completed multiple jobs for my moms house and I only found him two weeks ago. He put up a new towel rod through tile, installed a new mailbox, fixed our leaky basement pipe, and helped with a minor repair on our screen door. Highly recommend for all the odd jobs you have around your home.

Marvin arrived on time, in mask, and offered to put on booties. He was professional, courteous and efficient--also had all the parts he needed in the truck. I've been using Ceriello for years. Various workmen have come, but the excellent level of service never changes.

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!
