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!

Professional service provided in a timely manner.   Will use Jason for any & all electrical needs.

Worked with Mike and his team on very short notice to install emergency hall lights in condo.  Also helped in replacing outdoor outlets.  Incredibly easy to work with, cane on time for both estimate and actual job.  Job was done two days after estimate with a crew of four who completed work quickly and efficiently.  I'd recommend using them for any electrical work needed. Total pleasure to work with.

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!

Yesterday the Wife used a HairBlower to seal window plastic around the A/C unit & forgot the space heater was on tripped the breaker. I tried to reset breaker with no luck. One phone call this morning, Mike answered. I told him the problem, he instructed me, & I tried again. It worked. Thank you Mike, for your time during a Snowstorm . Power Restored. A+++++

A few years ago I hired Xpert Electric to rewire our house because we had old knob and tube wiring.  They did a good job, EXCEPT that while installing some recessed lights in the living room, they sawed through the ceiling and the floor of the bedroom above, leaving a gash in the floor of that second-floor bedroom.  I actually thought this was perhaps an honest mistake and something likely to happen to any other electrician doing a similar job, but I now think that they are just careless when they work.  Last week I brought them back to install an new outlet in my dining room thinking that there was a low probability of damage.  However, while making the hole for the new outlet, Henry sawed through  the wall and made a gash in the siding on the outside of the house (!).  I know he noticed that he had sawed through the wall, because I saw him go outside and at the time I wondered what he was getting from outside (it was really cold).  He never pointed out the damage to or apologized for it.  For these reasons I can't recommend them.

One thing I just want to add, partly in response to Xpert Electric's answer and also for the benefit of other homeowners out there, is that gashes in 100-year-old wood flooring are not fixable.  You can't swap out the broken boards with new ones, because you can't get that flooring anymore, and even if you could, it would never match the flooring that has aged in place in the house.  The only thing my flooring guy was able to do was fill in the gash with wax, but it takes a real artist to make that wax match the grain of the wood, and unfortunately I have not yet found anyone who can do that well.  That's all to say that the couple of hundred dollars of credit that Xpert gave me on a $23k job for sawing through my floor doesn't even come close to the actual cost of the damage that they did, because that damage can't really be repaired.  I appreciate their latest offer to fix the most recent hole through my wall, but I don't want them to ever touch my house again.  The least they can do is remove me from their ridiculous subscription service and lose my number.

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!

We called this company based on Yelp reviews in a pinch when the old chandelier in our new house caught fire at 7:30 pm on a weekday. No kidding. We looked at 24-hour electricians with five-star reviews and Fuentes was one of them. I called, Jamie answered, I told him the issue and that I wanted the chandelier removed tonight and to go to sleep knowing there wasn't a wiring issue I needed to worry about overnight. He gave me a reasonable price to come over and diagnose the problem and said it would cost a bit more to install a new light and dimmer (once he got here and he figured out what the problem was). He was prompt, knowledgeable, friendly, and informative. We will definitely call again! Highly recommended.

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 lost power on Christmas Day. After ConEdison was unable to resolve the issue, Dennis and team came to help us on short notice, with great responsiveness and courtesy. For a very reasonable price, York fixed our problem quickly and efficiently. So appreciative of their time and professionalism. Strongly recommend!!!

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!

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 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.

Very happy with this company. I had a partial power outage in my house. I called in the morning and the technician, Rocco, was there by 3:30 pm. He was courteous and very professional.

It took him about 5 minutes to diagnose the problem and another 20 to replace the faulty breaker.  

I would call this company again without hesitation.

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.
