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!

Came the next day. Lost power due to a faulty box somewhere in the house.  What I thought could be a treasure hunt was quickly figured out and repaired.  Would 100% recommend and already have.

Best electrical contractor in Jersey City!  Knowledgeable, timely, shows up, quality work, and affordable.  What more can someone ask for in a contractor?  Used him to install electrical heater, new line and outlets, and will be using him in the future.

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.

We had a ceiling fan installed on our high ceiling-- and couldn't be happier we went with Xpert Electric. After dealing with a recommended electrician who wouldn't even return phone calls to schedule an initial consultation-- I had gotten frustrated and turned to Yelp. Found Xpert  and Submitted the job request. Within 2 hours I had been contacted by Kim. Her  level of customer service was above and beyond. Especially now a days. Henry and Jake arrived at the expected time slot  and were very professional. They referenced a  standard pricing book so you don't feel like the pricing is made up. They even needed an unexpected part as they started working and that was no problem since they come with a parts van. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you for your services!!

Sergii did a great job!  He was prompt and completed the job very efficiently and neatly. His price was reasonable. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a Handyman.

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.

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

I spent a while trying to track down an electrician who actually had a phone and would actually call back. It's not easy! Then I found Gambi on yelp. They picked up the phone, scheduled an appointment, showed up and did the work. Eugene was my guy and he was terrific, he explained everything, gave me choices about how to handle issues and was clear about costs. Btw 175 for coming to the house and 100 each hour after that. Totally worth it for the work they did.

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.

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.

Hired A Ceriello to install three ceiling fan controls and one additional ceiling fan.  After advising us on which materials to purchase and spending two half days in our apartment, none of these tasks were accomplished.  We spent nearly $1K in hourly wages and materials and were left with a light bulb dangling from our living room ceiling.  Could not be more disappointed.

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!
