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 helped us with an emergency outlet repair - he responded quickly and was able to fit us in his schedule within a day. Professional work and great follow up - I will definitely use again, and highly recommend.

As many others mentioned, these contractors are professional, efficient, clean and friendly. They arrived on time, put down a tarp to protect our wooden floors, and cleaned up the limited mess they made. They completed two major installations in six hours.

They installed marquis lights, patched up the previous outlets with spackle, and connected them to new outlets. Mike may be somewhat somewhat difficult to get a hold of, but it's worth the effort to be persistent. Definitely would hire again.

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.

Thank you Thank you Thank you.
Xavier was very professional from the moment he answered my call. He arrived early to the appointment and patiently explained to me all that needed to be done and my options. The prices were fair and the job was done neatly.
If you are looking for a knowledgable, ethical and professional electrician who won't rip you off, I recommend Xpert 100%

I'm A disabled salon owner. I would NOT be in business right now if it weren't for Sergi. he has installed my retail wall shelving, every single piece of art I own, and he customizes all of my furniture so they sit at 20 inches for my disability needs. he is precise, he's punctual.

I'm also a large fat transgender human, and I feel safe around Sergi.

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.

Do not use them if you are a female or senior because they rip off seniors.  Took advantage of my elderly grandmother and aunt in doing a minor outlet repair.  Cost them almost two hundred dollars and they even supplied electrician with the part.  Better business buera will be notified.

i just had Eugene and his partner from Gambi come over and do some work on my house. I couldn't have been happier with the quality of their work. They showed up when they said they would. They quoted me a price before they arrived. And they both could not have been nicer guys. It's a pleasure to have found a company that understands what professionalism and courtesy are all about. MG

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.

Ceriello did a bunch of odds and ends in a 19th century townhouse in Brooklyn. Add a circuit here, install an outdoor light there, fix an outlet, install a ground,... It was a bunch of work over 2 full days. It was done competently, quickly, with great communication. I'm looking forward to calling them again when I need electrical work done.

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!
