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!

Spoke with both brothers who own business for free estmate. Jason listened carefully and patiently to very detailed description of work to be done with work area description over the phone and gave me price breakdown of work as an idea for what each work would run. He referred me to another electrical business (Jared) who they refer business to when they can't take on additional work. Jason gets 5 stars for patience, phone manners (yes, i am old school, phone manners are important), and phone estimate numbers; his estimate was in line with two other estimators who came on site; I'm waiting for Jared's estimate.

I have been searching for an electrician without success. many never return phone calls or show up when they say they will. I own a number of properties so having someone who is knowledgeable and responsible is important to me. Mike and his team fit the bill. they are professional and skilled. I am very happy I found them and i will be using their services going forward. highly recommended!

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!

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!

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!!

Serge arrived exactly on time and worked efficiently. Replaced our vanity and sink with a set from IKEA which mounts to the wall (no legs), applied silicone cleanly, very happy with the result. Also communicated clearly in terms of materials and pricing. I would hire Serge again for future tasks.

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.

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.

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!!!

After a conversation of what was needed & date time scheduling- he even sent and email with exact information to add to calendar - they never showed! I called continuously because I took the day off from work to meet the electrician and never received a call back or an apology.

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.

Frank with Ceriello arrived at the scheduled time, worked quickly and efficiently, completed the job, and left the space clean and neat. It was a minor job, but I'd trust them with a larger job in the future.
