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!

I contacted Jason in the afternoon and he was back to me by evening about several small job. By noon the next day he had someone on site to do them. Terrific service. Job well done.

I hired them to install recessed LED lighting throughout my rental apartment. Overall the work was satisfactory, but some communication problems soured me somewhat. Care and consideration was lacking at the end of the job - I had issues with the LEDs flickering and not dimming below 50% and the switches not sitting flush. Once they were paid they did not respond, and i had to figure out how to program the LEDs to dim correctly myself. I also had to hire another electrician to properly attach 2 dangling LEDs...again, because they were unresponsive. Literally would have taken them 5 min. Once the job started I felt rushed and like just a number to them. Will be going elsewhere on my next electrician hire.

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%!

We highly recommend Xavier and his team. After some horrible experiences with prior electricians, Xavier has become our go to electritian. He is a family man who is responsive, dependable, skilled, fair and reasonably priced.

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 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.

I had a problem changing a light switch in my kitchen. Called York Electric.  The electrician, Tommy, walked me through it over the phone. He was patient and professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing any type of electrical work.

Eugene Tapia from Gambi showed up on time for an estimate and ended up solving our problem in a few hours for a very reasonable cost. We had 6 flush ceiling spots in a garden floor apartment that were intermittent or out entirely. He explained why they were malfunctioning, pulled them down carefully, and did the necessary repairs. My only complaint was that he was a little slow in responding to our initial call but we will definitely use him again.

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.

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.

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.
