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!

Have hired Jason and Stephen several times--these guys are fantastic. Good people and good electricians. They know what they are doing and they do it well, quickly, efficiently and with zero drama.

Pricing is fair and transparent. Scheduling is straightforward. And I really appreciate that they always try to understand the job in detail when I call them and before they show up. If it's something that requires some pre-planning / pre-work, they'll tell you--saves time and money. Once on the job, they communicate very well how long certain things will take and whether something is worth doing or not. Again, saves me time and money.

Easily among the best contractors I've dealt with.

I highly recommend Malfettone for electrical work.  Jason understands customer service and this family business is a company that homeowners can rely on.  Their prices are fair, work is timely and will make recommendations to you based on their experience.  I will use them 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!

The first time I hired No Shorts Electric, I needed last minute help installing an electric oven that was delivered the day before Thanksgiving. The installers from the company I purchased it from couldn't figure out how to properly install it. Dominick was able to accomodate my family the day before a major holiday and literally saved the day for us! Since then, we have hired the company for a few other projects and each time they are prompt and professional. I wouldn't even think about hiring another company! Definitely recommend 100%!

I needed a WiFi switch installed in my house that would integrate with other switches already installed. I spoke with Xavier on a Friday and he booked a service appointment for first thing Monday morning. The techs were friendly and knowledgeable. The best thing however about the whole experience was the online/text message communication to view and confirm proposal, appointment logistics and online secure payment. Fast, easy and reliable. This is how all technical services should operate in this modern age.

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.

Jaime from Fuentes Family Electrical helped me out big time. We were ordering new appliances and needed to coordinate the specs for the machines with the power drops in my house. I was told by the appliance store that I would need to do some electrical work to make it happen.

Jamie made it extremely simple. He was helpful, very personal, interested, super knowledgable, and just nice. He offered to come over and assess the problem by morning, and even to walk me through it on the phone right there.

I actually didn't need his services in the end, but I will be calling for all of my electrical needs in the future.

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.

Had a problem with our stove wired improperly. Made a call to York Electric. Young man named Tommy arrived same day I called and came right on time. He was very knowledgeable, professional and honest. Fixed the problem in no time. I would highly recommend this company to anyone and everyone. Price was great!!!  If you want absolute best CALL YORK!!!

These guys are great-  reasonably priced and easy to work with.  They've done several small jobs around our townhouse in Prospect Heights

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.

I cannot recommend this company enough.I work for a high end medical facility and we had to completely revamp our lighting situation. Frank was the technician sent to do the job and he was such a sweet guy! Very thorough, very knowledgeable, and was able to work with our unique situation. When he came to complete the work after the initial walk through, he brought another technician Jose with him and the both of them together managed to complete 2 days worth of work in just one! They were also discreet and quiet during the hours that we were seeing patients. The cost of the work was extremely reasonable priced, and Frank even ran out to his truck to get a magic eraser to get rid of a scuff that was made on one of our outlets. Can you say attention to detail?!

This is our go-to electrical company :)

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.
