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 and Stephen are excellent. When my husband and I were under contract to purchase a home, they came out and gave us a quote on the service. The prices were reasonable and they were incredibly honest from the start with what I should be concerned about or not concerned about which really put this first-time homeowner's fears at rest. When our closing date got pushed back another month due to delays in the seller's oil tank test return, Jason and Stephen were understanding.
After we finally closed, they came out, did the work as promised, and even saved me a few $ with finding other solutions. Even the chandelier they hung, Jason made sure to get it to face a direction where I was happy with it.

The work was done on Friday and Jason was still great enough to try and push pseg to come out to service an old exterior wire (pseg's fix not ours), AFTER he services our house. The extra time he took to try and help says a lot about this company. They really do care about their clients without trying to upsell every 5 minutes.

The town electrical inspector came today and he said that he used to be an electrical contractor too. He was impressed with Jason and Stephen's work. He said the work they did was beautiful and very neat and that they did a great job. This is the kind of work I used to do when I was a contractor. Not everyone does it as good as this. That's pretty awesome to hear. So glad we hired them. Honest, friendly, professional, and appreciative of our business with them.

Thanks, guys! We now have ourselves our go-to electricians!

Highly recommend! Mike and Jason are responsive and work quickly while still doing the job right. They did an excellent job installing recessed lighting, fans, and dimmers!

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.

On time. Called prior to arrival. His techs Diagnosed problem in bathroom and swapped out faulty switch in 20 minutes. Billing done via email, no money changed hands. I'm assuming that will go smoothly. $150 to walk in the door. Expensive switch. Should have become a plumber.
Update. Payment was sent to my email with a $30 discount due to the easy fix. Excellent

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!

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.

We hired york recently to do a few things in our house. We had shopped around and got estimates for the work we needed to be done. York came over and were very knowledgeable and gave us a great price. We are happy we went with thia company,  they did a great job and everything in the house works perfectly.  Would highly recommend them to anyone!

I had a scheduled appointment and they never even bothered to show up! Total waste of my morning. I even texted and called to check the status of the appointment when I noticed they were more than 15 minutes late. I received no response.

p.s. they charge $175 to even come out and identify the problem and a hefty hourly rate too. A bit expensive, sure. But, what's the point they don't even show up for the appointment. Totally unprofessional. Save yourself the headache and find a different electrician!

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.

Ciro was super responsive to my initial inquiry to replace a wired doorbell and chime box and scheduled a mutually convenient time right away. He brought both a wired and wireless option so he could get the job done regardless of wiring conditions. He was efficient, organized, pleasant to speak with, and fairly priced. I'll definitely call him again for other home maintenance projects.

These guys are the best. We had a local contractor install some closet lighting which turned out to be done completely wrong and stopped working after a few months.
Frank from Ceriello saved us, he repaired the mess in a neat and timely manner. I would definitely use them in the future and highly recommend them.

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.
